I'm so sad that I didn't convince my parents to get me to this concert at the age of 10 and a half! At that age, in their defence, I did not know who was who. Also, they would have probably have had to have stood in line up to, and seconds before, or after, the tickets sold out. I am so grateful to Michael Brown for recording so many live concerts of this great genius for future generations such as myself! By the way, I am more astonished about the way Horowitz played certain pieces live --here-- that I only have previously heard before in more "established" recordings.

my conclusion from this is that it takes 70 years to master this polonaise

The last 30 mins are the best

Chopin Ballade 4 - at 42:10 ?

I'm very curious where whoever clandestinely recorded this wonderful concert was sitting. I heard that Horowitz was a wizard with acoustics in that he made the sound cover the hall; go out in all directions. I would be amazed if the recorder was sitting in the mezzanine of the old Eastman Theatre! The sound typically was muffled in that section because of it being sort of sandwiched against the top balcony.

Key is correct ... original Paganini caprice number is 9.

4:02 ............ the best Horowitz even possible ... this fury ....

I love this old recording for that incredible distortion at 3:02, like he try to illiminate piano)

Franz just lightly skips over the fact of this piano's key-touch-weight having been radically lightened for Horowitz.

Unfortunately the bass is wrong in approx. 1:32 and 1:37. Anyway he was one of the best pianist of the history.

45:21 liszt ballade 2

This is a treasure. I did not know such a video existed. Thank you.

grazie

25:40

I was in this audience,age 17. It remains many years later as the most vivid musical memory of my life. Thanks for making it available.

I can identify the glorification of individualism, aristocracism, meritocracism, capitalism, and a little tendency towards nazism

42:58 liszt ballade 2 starts Some annoying mistakes but then he makes up for it with insanely explosive moments, dare I say more fiery than the most popular version Only from listening to the ballade, its clear that, although he made some mistakes a mediocre student wouldnt have made, other parts are far far far better than his already incredible other version, and he was older in this one as well If it werent for the annoying serious mistakes, this would be my favourite recording 51:20 is literally the atomic bomb, geez

Español. ..

48:44 that piano is holding on for dear life

Despite my humble listening experience, I venture to say that Horowitz had, imho, one of the most developed left hands in recorded pianistic history. His left hand was a miracle instrument in itself.

Wow

It was still good tho

I'm glad I'm not a professional pianist so that this recording would induce me to quit. I had a teacher who was famous pianist in her own right, and she drove many adult serious pianists to quit. They wanted pointers or polishing and what they discovered was their complete inadequacy. Sylvia was not cruel in the least but she was brutally honest

WONDER what BACH and SCARLATTI's impressions be of a STEINWAY 9ft grand and its capacity for color

Pas terrible. Mécanique

Non è del '68!

I was fortunate enough to attend 6 of his recitals in the US and in Japan, all in the 70s and 80s. Although I possess all his recordings issued in different forms, packagings and countries, this superb transfer of the old gem has somehow escaped my attention. So far, my favorite transfer has been the one issued by the St. Laurent Studio some while ago, but the uploaded transfer may possibly surpass it in terms of sound quality. KZbin, however, does not allow one to decide which is the better transfer, due to its sound limitations. Is this transfer commercially available on CD (or, better still, SACD) format? If available, then on what label? I am keen to learn the information. Many thanks in advance.

Liebeslied starts at 1:15

He brought the house down, whatever anyone says

The reviews of this concert were so bad that he canceled the rest of his tour!

29:32 III

28:49 III

28:30 III

Thank you, John Duffy.

The brilliance of his playing at 18.30 mins, leading up to the return of the first subject, is marvelous. He keeps his right foot off the fxxking pedal and reveals every bit of Liszt’s piano-composing genius!,

I love the way Horowitz brings out the melodies in the left hand: fully ambidextrous piano skill; You can bet Liszt had it!

37':43" Рахманинов *Этюд-картина* ! Живые звуки леса, птиц, природы ! Трели на Pppp

In the currently accepted Tyson catalog, this sonata is Opus 33 n. 1 in A major. Opus 36 corresponds to the six Sonatinas.

Wonder why this was rejected.....Was a perfect recording as far as I could hear.

I was there!

Some of the new players are amazing, but I just don't see anyone with the depth of soul. I think maybe new piano engineering / acoustics have something to do with it too, but wow. This is beautiful.

Wundervoll…Vielen Dank ❤

All the skills and techniques are devoted to "music".

Unforguetable Horowitz, specially today.

HOLY MACKEREL!!!
