[@Felix_Li_En]

Rare and amazing! Thank you so much!!

[@caramelorb]

Glad you liked it!

[@beatlessteve1010]

Very interesting I had seen this concert several times but never the preceding programming awesome!...every glimpse I can get of Horowitz is an inspiration!

[@nancyloeffler-caromusician5543]

Just Wonderful!

[@russellaycock3703]

I wonder if the complete tape of the TV concert with all the preliminaries and the bows after the performance still exists? I’d happily watch it just as it aired. I’ve watched the tape of the performance itself at least a dozen times.

An inspirational and historical event caught for posterity!

[@beatlessteve1010]

Zuben Mehtna also iconic and a very productive career with longevity..I liked Zubin a lot to me he always added something special to a performance!!!

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

Zuben Mehtna is so insignificant even his worshippers can't get his name right...

[@calin33050]

I wonder if anyone would have the 1977 chicago recital that was filmed. I hope the entire tape has not been destroyed.

Are you talking about the Rach 3? It’s right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/embQqYiVbKeHiKM

@@potatopotato0715 No i talk about the solo recital with the Liszt's sonata in 1977.

[@beatlessteve1010]

That would be great I would love to hear that concert as I grew up in chicago

Why do so many sources still state that Horowitz was born in 1904? It is a well-established fact that he was born in 1903.

[@Viktorvelat95]

Also he was not born in Kiev, but in Berdichev

This video is from 1978 ,,, Info updated since then.

[@pianoman551000]

The reason behind this was that Horowitz' parents did not want him to be drafted in the Russian army, so they changed his birthdate, making him one year younger, thus allowing him to avoid conscription.

It looks like Claudio Arrau, but it's actually Franz Mohr, the Steinway technician who worked on Horowitz's piano.
