Horowitz highlights: Chopin, Ballade no. 4

This is Vladimir Horowitz interpretation of Chopin's 4th Ballade. I've made a few cuts to shorten the time, cutting it from 12 minutes to about 6 minutes.

If anyone would like to hear the un-cut recording, just ask! Comment on this video and I'll upload the entire piece.

Thanks for watching!

really horowitz playing? why so many wrong notes?

[Kachukeland]

that's Horowitz for you.  I like that he sacrifices 100% note accuracy for a beautiful and exciting interpretation. That's one of the reasons he was called the "Last Romantic."

Maybe not too many of those people as a good part of the posts are about why is it good to cut it. :-)

I would have removed it if I uploaded the full version. But anyway, OK, doesn't matter and sorry for me being rude.

@funfor1life I can't even remeber it saying lol.

its almost a year ago now. I think that what I meant at the time, that even muslims can enjoy great jewish plays. That we can enjoy the beauties from one another, without resorting to personal attacks.

nevertheless, I love his plays and I enjoy them.
