Horowitz: The Last Recording
Haydn, Liszt, Wagner Chopin
, Vladimir Horowitz
Sony, 1990
The Last and One of the Very Best
It is truly amazing to think that Horowitz was 86 years old when he made this recording. The virtuoso passages of Chopin that require fingertip pyrotechnics are played with flawless precision and a sense of nuance and shading that is exquisite. At his very best, ...

Well worth the view of the truly golden age of piano
A most excellent DVD and I would highly recommend as an equally excellent adjunct to this DVD with regard to the era and its rather well known names, "The Golden Age of the Piano" with commentary by David Dubal. In this way you have additional film media input on ...

The majesty of Horowitz
Musicians are reluctant to give rankings. We want to separate the classical music world from the hyped world of MTV top tens and USnews school rankings. Since this is the case why are so many pianists assert and reiterate the glory of Horowitz among 20th century ...

The Encore is more important than you might think!
These are famous Horowitz encores. They are not the titanic pieces he became famous or historically important for, but they are the pieces that made him popular with the public. Some are his own transcriptions, and every performance is his own. As one reviewer below ...
Horowitz Plays Scriabin
Alexander Scriabin
, Vladimir Horowitz
RCA, 1989
From Byronic to Orgiastic
Vladimir Horowitz was a champion of Scriabin's music long before it became fashionable, or even semi-fashionable. Scriabin's music appeared on Horowitz's programs as early as the 1920s. Horowitz's first issued Scriabin recordings were made at his 25th Anniversary ...

Oh, God...5 stars would be simply unfair...
Upon hearing this record for the first time, I had to pinch myself to make sure I was actually listening to such an amazing, if not perfect display of talent and beauty. After having listened to it over and over again along the years, maybe more than 1000 times, I ...
Horowitz Plays Scarlatti
Domenico Scarlatti
, Vladimir Horowitz
Sony, 2003
Awesome performance - should have left off the extra tracks
I bought this CD after watching Olga Kern perform several Scarlatti sonatas at a phenominal 3-standing-ovation concert. She hasn't recorded those sonatas yet, so this was the closest recording I could find. The performance and the recording are both exceptional. I ...

"New" Horowitz at his Best
The material for this album was recorded from 1962-1972, but not released until 1992. Horowitz was a perfectionist when it came to programming albums and recitals, and generally recorded more than was needed for an album--this is the extra material. The performances ...

frankly, the rachmaninoff recording that is on this disc, is, in my opinion, the most impressive musical performance I have ever been privileged to hear. In contrast with his other recordings of the work, which are all very special, horowitz plays with with true fire, ...

Unique and incomparable
This is a unique vision and outstanding version of the famous concerto. First of all it is a concert version made under exceptional circumstances - a war bond concert that raised vast sums of largesse towards the US second world war effort. In addition, the maestro ...

Fine Late Period Horowitz
Toward the end of his career, Vladimir Horowitz had distilled his art to the bare essentials. Gone were the leonine fortissimos and occasional hysteria of the 1940s, replaced with a new simplicity. This recording, taped in the living room of his New York townhouse ...

The True Sound of Horowitz
As someone who heard Horowitz in recital (Boston, October 19, 1986, I will never forget that day) I can report that this CD comes closer than anything else I have heard to the real thing. This is a demonstration quality disc and a must for piano fans. Schumann's ...
