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 ...

Interpretation of genius
The pieces from third collection of Chopin works were recorded between 1945 and 1957. At that time Master was evidently in the top form. He performs Chopin with his individual, inimitable style, which makes listening to this music breathtaking experience. In my ...

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 ...

RCA, 1992
Incredible performance, scratchy sound.
A very good CD, but some of the titles are also on the Encores CD, and all the titles except the Rachmaninoff (recorded in 1979) are in mono. Besides the Rachmaninoff, the recording dates range from 1928 (whew!) to 1956. That said, this is Horowitz! It's great! I'd pay ...

Voice of Klezmer: the Violin
In the hands of Alicia Svigals: the violin sings, weeps, laughs, cries, and otherwise mimics the human voice ... Alicia has shown the klezmer fiddle to be of equal value to the clarinet in this genre. The Jewish tunes are haunting, lively, energetic and beautiful! She ...

The moment of the genuine pleasure
When I heard this version of "Funeral" at the classic branch of a music store, a stuff of its jazz section rushed here to ask what title this album has. I had already decided to buy it, surprising at its sound effects. It was the real story twenty years ago. This ...

Superb Chopin from Horowitz
Vladimir Horowitz (who had a Polish grandmother and was fond of pointing out that he was "half as much a Pole as Chopin"), recorded more of Chopin's music than that of any other composer. For decades Horowitz had a problematic relationship with Chopin's Second ...

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 ...

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's Intimate Chopin

Get Set for an Amazing Ride!
I'm not sure that these recordings are what you would call the "definitive" performances of these two giants of the piano repetoire, but they are certainly the most exciting and galvanic performances of them you will find anywhere. Okay, so the recordings date from ...

great, but he's greater on other recordings.
Well, this has the two best ballades, numbers 1 and 4, plus my favorite Chopin piece, the barcarolle. The barcarolle is fantastic on this recording. It's really wonderful. Horowitz at his best. The rest is, well... so-so. Vlad is a little sloppy on the fourth ballade ...

delightful
Horowitz's Haydn performances are masterworks, hands down. He brings extraordinary control and subtle nuance to his shaping of the ebb and flow of Haydn's lines, and reveals the genius of a master fully the equal of Beethoven in his own early writing (something for ...
