@owatson322utube I don't know, I prefer Pogorelić. He makes it sound a bit more oriental, more passionate.
-
Is this a different version by chance?
-
@svenno0007 I'm sure that one day you will play this piece better then Horowitz -PERFECT
asshole...
-
@The55555SSSSS that was not perfect - listen to 0:08
-
0:08 - the beginning was so easy, yet he played a wrong note o.O
-
If Horowitz had intended to show off, he would have kept the glissando.
-
Absolutey the best performance of the piece. Only after listening to other pianists' performance of this piece will you realize the necessity of Horowitz's edits. He is also the only one who plays the coda without making it devolve into something unrecognizable.

@maxreger100 Haha, that last comment made my night :)

GREAT!

That's simple. Horowitz plays with his heart. He doesn't let a few wrong notes dissuade him from bringing out the character of the piece.

Definitely agree. This is the best performance of Islamey there is.
