Thanks very very much 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Many dont realize Horowitz peaked in the 1950s. He had a breakdown arround 1960 and was never quite the same as far as technical perfection. That being said, he still produced tones and majestic structure unlike anyone else.

Exquisite.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤

Timeless treasure! Best gift from the Maestro for us!

Grazie mille. Ausgezeichnet!

No comment on the performance - it is absolutely legendary and unparalleled. However, I understand he liked his own Steinway but it really is unfortunate. There could be so many pianos with better sound than this one...

I'm so relieved to see that his left hand pinky raises just like mine does. There's hope for me yet. 😂

Wow, I have never seen such a standing ovation in my life! What an experience it must've been to be there in person!!!!

¡Extraordinaria velocidad! Supera el real tiempo en comparación con otros célebres pianistas. No cabe duda que Horowitz es un pianista único. Por eso, su interpretación del tercer concierto de Rachmaninof es extraordinariamente insuperable. Resucitó a F. Chopin!!!

Thank you from Moscow.

Thank you from Moscow.

Awesome. Thank you ❤

Like Horowitz said, “The Art should be spontaneous.…” , I know why I was trying while watching and listening to this ever masterpiece performance..., thank you so much for sharing ❤

I had the honor of moving the 1941 Horowitz Steinway 3 times for its dealer here. One evening I brought it home in my truck and slept with it to protect it. Around 3AM I awoke to hear Mr Horowitz's ghost play it one more time. It was a wonderful concert, if only in my dreams. I very carefully repact it in its custom travel case and was thanked by the piano movers on NBC in Atlanta.

Огромная благодарность и низкий поклон всем тем кто вложил свой талант и Душевные силы в обновление этого Великого концерта.

Ich bin froh, das ich Horowitz 1986 in Berlin bei seinem Zusatzkonzert noch live erleben durfte. Die Eintrittskarte dafür bekam ich 15 min. vor dem Nachmittagskonzert von einer alten Dame, die noch einen Karte übrig hatte.....

Brilliant . . .

I always was taken by those slender flat hands in total command of the keyboard and rendering a classical performance which at times entered another dimension of sound. His modesty of movement and almost static pose seems almost incongruous, yet frankly rather wonderful...

I agree. Hard to believe he could have done it with only five fingers...

Hello! Thanks a lot for this. I wanted to say, in the thumbnail it says "legenary" instead of "legendary" and "vlaimir" instead of "vladimir". Maybe the d doesnt work so well xD

Vintage Vladimir

Integrity, bravo🎉... even Zubin has to take the cues from the maestro

The audience was too loud, ruining Horowitz's delicate sound.

There's nothing not to love about Horowitz, but I just can't help being amazed by how uniquely confident he is about whatever notes he's about to play. It comes so natural to him, and like someone else said in the comments, hearing him play is always like hearing a song for the first time again. His different perspectives and interpretations of a piece is so incredibly inspiring.

Tears in my eyes when watching this incredible performance. Deepest respect for this noble artist and for the composer.

One of my great memories was meeting Vladimir Horowitz by chance when I was a college student, about age 18, in New York around 1976. I was taking a walk through Central Park when I passed by Mr. Horowitz sitting on a park bench with a friend. I did a double-take and turned to face him, surprised and delighted to see one of my favorite pianists of all time. He looked at me and gave me a big smile. I bowed my head in deep respect and he smiled again and nodded. I was too shy at the time to approach him or to talk with him and didn't want to intrude on him. But nobody else in the park but me seemed to have any idea who this distinguished man was with his friend sitting on the bench; so Mr. Horowitz seemed to appreciate my expression of delight and deep admiration as our eyes locked for the moment.

This is an unparalleled performance and an incredible rendition of the 3rd concerto. What excellent remastering!

To the detractors, yes there are bunches of wrong notes. It was a live performance. Do some pianists today play fewer wrong notes? Yes, of course. But this man actually KNEW Rachmaninov, and the composer loved his interpretations of his piano music. 45 years ago, hardly any other pianist even attempted this concerto. This is a historically important concert.

No pyrotechnics, just talent and feeling. Certainly the best of his generation.

My dad and my mother were in the audience, and mom didn't know she was pregnant with me yet. By the time I was age 4 I knew I was a pianist. Coincidence?

Oh my god. He found, then isolated, and voiced, tamed and rendered fresh inner lines, hidden lines, cryptic, coded, sacred, lyrical, melodic lines, messages to a sad and distant future that Rachmaninoff wrote, wanting to share his healing powers, perhaps, but without even knowing why. Entire careers could be productively devoted to this concerto's first movement alone. In spite of the composer's legendary passion for chromatic discursions, anyone of sufficient passion could themselves justifiably claim this work is possessed of Medieval diatonic peasant prayers: one to forbid Spring floods, one to cleanse the plague from the good-hearted, and one to lift high the children of the village burdened with cruel parents and careless teachers. But at 15:21, we are all rescued from those tragedies, and given instead lives of deliciously sweet and warmly nourishing music, songs without tears for a world that needs dreams, that runs too fast, hurts too much, remembers not enough and knows that a loving future depends on a loving present, which will be the past before anyone can define recapitulation or spell coda with their tears tied behind their smile. We love you Vladimir--can you hear us from 1978? Of course, if we sing loud and pure enough!

Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto: Music to make love by. His 3rd Piano Concerto: Music to bite nails to

Thank you for this timeless gift, my favorite piano concert.

Where's that extended applause I'm surprised he did not do an encore.

VERY ROMANTIC AND AWESOME PERFECT. NEVER TO BE MEET IN TECHNIC AND EMOTION TRANSMISSION

보고또보고 질릴때까지 ~~ 그가 놀라울뿐,

Wowwwww...........Just Wowwwwww...... I'm sorry but I can't find another word Listen..........

WOW. His talent was sublime.

The fist pump at 43:01 . . . gets me every time. 🎹✅

He was 75 during this concert.

No one today or at any other time can match Horowitz's pallet of expression on the piano or with composers like Rachmaninov. A magnificent treat.

Oh man, he's GOOD! Astonishing emotional expression!!!

What a treasure! Thank you very much for remastering this concert! The man was a genius. Unbelievable power and control in his fingers.🎹🙏

Super!

Is it just me or does this prelude sound like the star wars theme? Maybe john williams used this as inspiration

I like Van C's in Moscow better, but this is still good.

Bože blagi!Na jednom mestu takva tri genija:Rahmanjinov,Horovic,Mehta.Žao mi je što ih nisam slušala uživo,ali hvala milostivom Bogu što imam i ovakvu priliku.To je takva milina.Ne znam šta da kažem.Srećna sam.❤❤❤

Only the best for THE BEST
