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, ...

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 ...

Telarc, 2008
Revolutionary showcases an artist who is not only breaking ground, but who runs a musical gamut that any musician would be extremely hard-pressed to match. There are only four organ works included. Three are major pinnacles of the organ repertoire (the blistering, nearly unplayable Etude in Octaves by the French modernist Jeanne Demessieux; ...

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 ...

I first stumbled across this artist on YouTube and his live performance of "Stars and Stripes" was so tremendous, I emailed the link to all of my musical friends. I am a concert pianist and have played and heard many, many concerts in my life and I have to say that we ...

Masterpieces played by the great Horowitz
This Carnegie Hall return recital is one of the greatest recordings by Horowitz. With a huge audience, Horowitz did not disappoint. He plays the Bach/Busoni as only he can play; it is eternally beautiful. Schumann has some mistakes, but those mistakes make the playing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Wonderful DVD for pianists and music lovers
In the 1840's, a composer and performer named Franz Liszt tried something that was, at the time, entirely new. Sitting at a piano on stage in front of a curious audience, he performed what is believed to have been the first piano recital and while the term "piano ...

This needs a more articulate review...
To tell the truth, the only reason I even listened to this disc in the store is because I spotted the cover, and wondered what the hell a guy who looked like that could sound like. I had a gushing smile on my face as I realized there was real talent and expression ...

Passionate Performance
This is the best performance of Rachmaninoff's 3rd I have yet heard. It was recorded live in 1978 at Carnegie Hall with some inserted corrective replays following the concert. Horowitz is moody, elegant, and very passionate in his playing. But what makes this a hit ...

This is a desert island disc if ever there was one. Let's get skip ahead and talk about the Toccata. This piece can only be described in roller-coaster terms. For 4'00" you will experience every conceivable twist and turn, the music will only slow down to gather ...

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 ...
