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, ...
  
  











  



  
The Art of Piano - Great Pianists of 20th Century
Artur Rubinstein

Nvc Arts, 2002

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Horowitz in Hamburg: The Last Concert
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Liszt, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

A Fond Farewell
For those familiar with Vladimir Horowitz's televised recital from Vienna a few weeks prior to this one, both the repertoire and the manner of performance will be similar. There are a few differences in details, which mainly spring from the differences between ...
  
  











  



  
Horowitz Plays Rachmaninoff/Concerto for Piano in Dm; Sonata for Piano No2/Vladimir Horowitz, Pianist
Sergey Rachmaninov, Fritz Reiner, ...

RCA, 1989

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 ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
  
  











  



  
Complete Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon
Ferruccio Busoni, Frederic Chopin, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

Horowitz: A Digital Legacy
This set includes all of the recordings Vladimir Horowitz did for Deutsche Grammophon in the 1980s, including his historical concert in Moscow. While the context of his return in Moscow is moving, the studio recordings are simply wonderful. The sound quality is ...
  
  











  



  
Horowitz in Moscow
Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1990

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 in Moscow
Vladimir Horowitz, Charles Kuralt

Sony, 2005

Wonderful
My reviews of these violinists and this pianist are becoming redundant. The performers are all so good, that I'm reduced to admiration and have little else to say. I remember many years ago I was listening to NPR, they had a female musical expert on and they were ...
  
  











  



  
Horowitz Live and Unedited [includes Bonus DVD]
Johann Sebastian Bach, Ferruccio Busoni, ...

Sony, 2003

WHAT IS GOING ON?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? WHY CANT YOU JUST LEAVE THE POOR MAN ALONE? I AM A PIANO STUDENT WHO JUST FINISHED A CONCERT SERIES OUTSIDE OF MY OWN COUNTRY AND I HAVE JUST READ SOME OF THE OTHER REIEWS ABOUT HOROWITZ HERE AND I AM FRANKLY DIGUSTED. ARE WRONG NOTES ...
  
  











  



  
Horowitz, Plays Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 23 K.488- Piano Sonata K.333
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Carlo Maria Giulini, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1990

A Must-Have Mozart Recording
When I read some of the nit-picking criticisms from fellow reviewers regarding this gorgeous recording, I'm simply astounded at their arrogance. I would like to hear them attempt something similar! I don't care how learned or jaded any of you may be, this recording ...
  
  











  



  
Horowitz at Home
Franz Liszt, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1989

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Leningrad - 1986
Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, ...

Palexa Records, 2005

A lionhearted performance
I concur with the earlier reviewer. This concert shows what Horowitz can do without the stigma of the mass media rigth on top of him, as evident in the Moscow performance (as good as that was). He is absolutely in tip-top shape with the Scarlatti sonatas too. ...
  
  











  



  
Piano Transcriptions / Arcadi Volodos
Arcadi Volodos, Vladimir Horowitz, ...

Sony, 1997

Mind-shatteringly superb
Volodos strikes us with some incredible works here, friends. These are quite simply some of the most perfectly executed works upon the piano I have heard, and this is no light affair considering the depression-inducing difficulty of some of these behemoths of the ...
  
  











  



  
Schumann: Kinderszenen Op15
Robert Schumann, Vladimir Horowitz

Sony, 1990

The Definitive Kreislerianna
Everything on this disc is what you'd expect from one of the greatest pianists of all time: superb. But the treasure is the Kreislerianna, of which this is the definitive recording. I've searched in vain for a more recent, sonically better version. There is, for ...
