Each of Horowitz’s hands spans half the piano 😮

Great sounding transfer! I think these five RCA recordings made in 1935 are my favourite Hofmann recordings. Hofmann himself, in a 1955 letter, favoured the 5 recordings that he made later that year in London on 29 November.

What magic.

Großartiges Gershwin Spiel. Besser geht es nicht. Bravo Earl. Vielen dank fürs posten.

Being a Pole, I'm so glad and proud he performed so much Chopin at the White House.

Can you imagine this under Trump?

2.Movement ca 16:55

14:45 classic hofmann chordal voicings

A simple Russian-Jewish guy got a bunch of arrogant Anglo-Saxons to stand up, while he just sat there, cool as ever. That’s saying something. Stay tuned. 😂😂😂

There are good amount of rolls by hofmann I couldnt find or never seen on youtube/online.. I listed the pieces of roll recordings that were not recorded on acousticly or electricly. Does any of these hofmann rolls look familier for you? Rubinstein: Waltz in F major, Op.82 No.5 Schumann: Nachtstück in F major, Op.23 No.4 (Rundgesang mit Solostimmen) Hofmann: Variations & Fugue on an original theme, Op.14 Liszt/Liszt: Die Loreley, S.532 Leschetizky: Arabesque en forme d'Étude, Op.45 No.1 Händel: Variations in D minor Hofmann: Barcarolle in F-sharp minor, Op.22 No.1 Paderewski: Legend in A-flat major, Op.16 No.1 Rubinstein: Scherzo in F major, Op.75 No.12 (from Album de Peterhof) Sgambati: Nenia, Op. 13(18) No.3 Mendelssohn: Scherzo in E minor, Op.16 No.2 Moszkowski: Guitarre, Op.45 No.2 Hofmann: Etude in C major (for the left hand alone), Op.32 [? - subtitled "Legend"] Tchaikovsky: Humoresque, Op.10 No.2 •Schütt: Valse lente, Op.17 No.2 Mendelssohn: Song Without Words in G major, Op.62 No.1

Not a piece that I have heard before and unlikely to hear again! I usually enjoy Elgar's work but perhaps this needs more work from me to become acquainted with it before I add it to the list!

I still have the entire series of these LPs (stored somewhere in my basement). I forgot how many there were, but I do remember that really liked the quality of all of the pianoroll transfers. Thanks for uploading this one!

favorite rendition

i love you, i always wanted to hear this album in full but couldnt find it anywhere

Great. Thanks for sharing.

Qui non c'è tecnica, c'è teatro, c'è la vita.Rispetto Juja wang , Lang Lang, ma sono distanti , miglia.

Beautiful but still does not play the “optional” arpeggio after 11:34 that only Van Cliburn has played.

I like the green suit of the guy sitting in the second row. These were great times as Chopin could be played by such a great master at the WH. I guess that would rather be Swift or Beyonce today being invited.

😲 What a discovery!

Horowitz was the genuine piano ripper !

❤❤Nice surprise: I would never have imagined that John Ogdon would excel in Ravel

Extremely fast, superb technique, beyond imagination

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergue%C3%AF_Liapounov Information for those who, like me, did not know Lyapunov (one cannot know everything) because when I looked up the name of Lyapunov, I could only find that of his brother, the great mathematician.

❤still a little marvel. thank you .

Absolutey gorgeous! 🤍

Many years ago while studying the Rachmaninoff etudes and preludes, Ashkenazy's recordings helped me to hear and understand the music constantly in new ways. This is the first time I've heard Ashkenazy play Ravel, and I'm stunned. The right hand tremolo in Ondine is one of the best I've heard, and the dynamics and color range are exquisite. I hear things in his interpretation of Gaspard de la Nuit that I had never noticed before, giving me a greater comprehension of it.Thank you for posting this wonderful recording.

This my favorite performance of the wonderful studies by Liszt,Kentner is a real poet. The sound on this post is simply astonishing,much better than my old Vox Lp-box, thank you so much!!

Un des plus grands coups de génie de Martha.

Thank you, Carter! Horowitz is my favorite pianist. Wish u have a nice trip in heaven ❤

❤Perfect with the "campanella" before going to find Morpheus to have wonderful dreams

❤Perfect with the forgotten waltz before going to find Morpheus to have wonderful dreams

The best!

Very important moment about piano music in the Earth.

Do you know the DATE this concert was in 78'. it was live on TV? DO you know what time it aired on the East cost? My piano teacher made us watch on VHS prob 86' and i just kept GOOFING OFF!

Odd hearing Chopin's funeral dirge and seeing Carter standing there, with his burial tomorrow.

Every time I hear that beautiful song, I think of the hideousness of Trump defiling it.

❤❤❤

Really FANTASTIC,thank you very much!!!

Sounds great ❤❤❤😅😅

❤❤ Still un another marvel

❤❤❤Thank you. One of the best interpretations I know for my taste

🎉

An era before "trash" ruined our White House....and I mean TRASH...
