Schumann - Carnaval - Horowitz - Tokyo - 1983 - Edited

When I first saw this video years ago, I was struck with the sheer beauty of Schumann's Carnaval as performed by Vladimir Horowitz. There were wrong notes that were distracting so I took the liberty to correct as many as I could and re-made this video. The result posted here is still pure Schumann and pure Horowitz. It is noteworthy that Horowitz plays the Sphinxes which is rarely played by other pianists. His Chiarina and Chopin segments are on a level rarely reached by others. It is too bad he never recorded Schumann's Carnaval but we do have this performance, flawed though it is due to his medications. The essences of Schumann's Carnaval comes through exceedingly well and with the unique Horowitz sound. I will cherish and enjoy this performance by Horowitz always.
