@Bruce88keys is the best panderer for Horowitz, dead or alive.
-
@marcxopoco Horowitz was the best pianist, dead or alive, the media or no media- Horowitz had a magnetism and stage presence that matched his exquisite musicianship- and it is true that the business of music over looked many deserving artists, but such is natural selection.
-
Super!!
-
I think Barere had a better technique than Horowitz did, as did many pianists. Horowitz's strengths are his colorful musicianship, though he did have a solid technique. Barere had one of the biggest techniques in history.

Bravura playing.
-
@demosj Horowitz did exactly the same - as fast as possible and then realized that it was too fast.
-
Do yourself the favour of listening to this as played by Kissin (yes, Kissin) live in Amsterdam, 2002.
-
Poor chap dying on stage - never heard of him before - brilliant performance - coming to think of it he must have raised his cardiac output a fair bit to play like this
! - thanks so much for posting

demosj is the ultimate Horowitz groupie.
demosj's hero is DESTROYED by Barere
In every area Horowitz was touted as the best by the bought and paid for media.

See? Only unfocused ad-hominem attacks, no rebuttal to my pointing out Horowitz never dropped pieces. BARERE of all people making Horowitz change his repertoire? Lol.
What does your "franticness" reveal when you rage about Horowitz in Barere videos A lot of desperation there...
Here's more: Horowitz graduated at the age of 16 with the Don Juan fantasy, it took Barere YEARS of splicing and studio pyrotechnics to record a competent performance of it.
Don't be frantic, argue your case.

One of the old time great recordings of this piece. Never heard the middle section played so beautifully: it is not just Barere's gorgeous tone but also his ability to bring out the oriental flavour of this music. Truly a classic recording!

I went to a piano festival in NY a few years ago, and a roomful of pros, including concert artists and Juilliard professors, listening to a Barere recording, just laughed helplessly in wonderment (and envy). He wasn't trying to play fast--it came easily for him. His son, Boris, talked about it.
