He does SOOO MUCH with so "little". Make no mistake, "Traumerei" is not an easy piece despite how it sounds. What this giant of a man is doing its nothing short of incredible.

Cannot be beaten. Puts a tear in my heart every time.
Seems to release the hidden feelings of those in the
Soviet Union at that time.

reminds me of the time when I played this piece in high school. I'd like to relearn it again. Probably the best song I've ever picked to play in my days of piano.

when i was pregnant with my daughter i would listen to this recording.
21 yrs later this is still one of our favorite pieces. There are many beautiful
memories attached to this. Thank you Horowitz your beauty will last forever.

@forgottenbooks Robert Schumann. The composer for this very piece!

In the portraits, I think I see Anton Rubinstein and Chopin. But who is the third person?

I love this performance. Horowitz will always be one of my favorites. I wrote a blog post about some interpretation issues in this piece, if anyone is working on it and want some food for thought, check out my tumblr! There's a link on my channel.

so incredibly perfect
to the person who uploaded - thank you for this
The little girl on her dad's lap at 0:51, the man at 1:21 and the man at 1:30 with the tear on his cheek get me every time i watch this. One of the greatest moments ever captured on video given all the things going on in the Soviet Union in 1986 and you can see it in every face. The fact that this concert even took place was a miracle. This is when the medium is used at its best.

I just wanna cry whenever I hear this.Sounds not like full of shining technical improvisation, however, the emotion inside is beyond most pianist's scope that only few can managed to perform. Horowitz is one of the best for this.
