Uploaded by thepolonaise on Feb 27, 2007
This is Vladimir Horowitz playing Chopin's "Heroique" A-flat major Polonaise, Op. 53 as only Vladimir Horowitz could!
Correction! This is Horowitz in Musikverein, Vienna, Austria on May 31, 1987 which makes him 84 years old. Two years before his death on November 5th, 1989.
Sorry for the wrong info and thanks for the correction :)
God bless Horowitz.
"there are three types of pianists.
Jewish pianists.
Homosexual pianists.
and bad pianists." -Vladimir Horowitz
I know this is a repost, but I will not deny my video collection of the great Horowitz, I don't care if this is the only video on youtube 60 million times. make it 60 million and one!

So, there are like, 3 or 4 mistakes... big deal. The interpretation makes up for 100 mistakes.

@6347285 I've seen you state this in at least one other Horowitz video. Considering it's a pretty grave accusation could you provide a source?
-
mistakes? i've not seen mistakes! it'e perfect.... ;)

@leongatha6 You sound like your brainwashed. Being classically retarded is common.
-
I don't care about what people think about this video, or about Horowitz... I just like this song and I'm happy listening to it :)
Fuck you all

@6347285 You sound like a lunatic, or just plain envious of one long gone who played 50 times greater than you could dream of.

Honestly, this is my favourite interpretation of this piece so far. He was such an amazing pianist. (Stop hating on him!)

It has character by the bucketload. Enjoy it for what it is.... if everything was clinically perfect, the World would be boring/

It's the truth. You must be brainwashed.

@Dukemaphakdeewong He makes a lot of mistakes in this version but his bravura, coloration, and unique interpretation more than makes up for it。 Remember he was very old.

What up dudes? Within the last ten pages of comments, lots of people, with uncontrollable rages, criticize the interpretation for mistakes...do you know it's entirely possible for an 84-year-old virtuoso to make mistakes on accident?
