  • Wow, this is breath-takingly controlled and clear, beautifully voiced, imaginative, and yet exciting. Incompoarable as always, this recording puts to shame the pianists of today such as Kissin and Lang Lang. (Kissin raced through this piece at Carnegie Hall like an angry spoiled child; it was too fast, inarticulate, and unmusical.) Long live the art of Vladimir Horowitz !!!

  • Now I know why Horowize is great...:-)

    Each melodies clearly and contrastly to running, mixing in such beautiful way.

    I'm fully entertained...fully entertained...^^

  • @MrLieblingsessen I like his interpretation more than Cziffra`s. This has more control and shades

  • No one has ever played this perfectly. Except for cziffra.

  • Difficile de faire mieux pour cette Toccata;

  • Legendary!

    

  • This interpretation is so Monumental is almost scary!

  • If Schumann had composed nothing else for piano he would still be a great composer for the instrument. As for Horowitz' performance, it is breathtaking in its clarity, but above all in his understanding of its structure. The final bars are so great - Schumann 'lounges back', relaxing into a romantic, dreamy reverie, after all of those notes!

  • I never understood the appeal of this piece until hearing this performance. Every line is as clear as a bell, not a mad rush and blur of notes like every other performance I've heard.

  • How come there were 3 unlikes??

  • @wantrice I'm enjoining now silence of damnthatissoCHEAP...it means he(she) is agree... 

  • @sam0xin For not caring you sure wrote a lot in response. Just enjoy the music.
