such powerful playing. thank you sir horowitz

[@twinwankel]

When they appreciated culture in the White House. Horowitz is great. Such power and ferocity. And plays with such ease.

[@SpontaneityJD]

This "culture" appreciation, sadly, will likely never return again. This was true music.

Wow, this was a really tough crowd to play for. Vladimir Horowitz just turned in one of the most absolutely phenomenal and magical performances on the piano that any person could hope to listen to. Yet, no standing ovation.

[@mariodiaz2042]

I don’t agree upon Hakkarainen perception about the most difficult parts of Concert 3 of Rachmaninoff. At the time of following the partiture most difficult passages; Horowitz used arpeges instead of accords. Horowitz was able to play it with three fingers simoultaneously, in crescendo. No matter the cadenza. Never before, even Skanazy or Rubinstein were able to do it. Vladimir Horowitz never, ever approached nuclear bomb power to his interpretations; but exquisit delicate, fast and enormously strong sounds at times. That’s why he never played on Bossendorfer pianos.

Oleg Boshniakovich played Chopin much better, more diligently. Or it's just an unsuccessful game of Horowitz.

[@demertzis2694]

Chopin plays chopin better than them and everyone else

[@beatlessteve1010]

Who plays better is very subjective..personally I believe many people especially in America loved Horowitz and not just his playing but his history coming out of Ukraine in 1920 and performing a successful three concerts in Berlin and Paris before he finally made it to New York ...people in the audience used to stand up to see how does he do his octaves so fast especially on his Tchaikovsky concert lead by his father in law Arturo Toscanini..he was a wizard on the piano, his technique was formidable and his transcription are some of the best...I would suggest watching a little bit more and listen to his earlier works..and I also read about what other musicians like Cortot, Rachmaninoff,and Rubinstein though of him
