Maestro's dynamic range ability nobody will ever surpass.

Ознакомившись с биографией исполнителя, понимаю КАКОГО МАСШТАБА БЫЛ ЭТОТ КОНЦЕРТ! Какое счастье, мне 34 - летней дуре, слышать ЭТО!!! Вы только посмотрите на мимику, на глаза слушателей! Мёртвая тишина в зале! Я счастлива, хоть и не вживую, но в записи ( спасибо интернету) слышать эту великую музыку в гениальном исполнении! Это история! Это событие!
Царствия Небесного гениальному пианисту!!!!

A final glimpse into a pianistic heritage we can only ready about in books. And here we have it. Phrasing and a coloristic use of the pedal I've certainly never heard from another pianist.. How can he seem to "rebirth" and, to me, make more "vulnerable" recurring passages (i.e. in one of the Scarlatti sonatas he plays) given what is basically a percussive instrument -- which I adore above all others, by the way. I tried to describe to my piano professor how I felt about this when I heard Horowitz in Symphony Hall in Boston in 1968, The only metaphor I could think of was some beautiful sea anemone shrinking when touched. Words fail.

He's not just good. He's really super duper good. Amazing in fact. That's a case of real magical hands and fingers. Demonstration of unbelievable control and precision.

[rondog]

Horowitz described his style best. "A piano recital should not be a lecture, it should be enjoyable". Sometimes failed to hit all the right notes, never failed to find the colour or emotion in a piece of music.

I watched his homecoming concert when it was televised and have watched this video hundreds of times. I can watch it another hundreds of times and still get deeply moved. He is one and only. No one else has his magic touch on the piano

[ВладимирСолянин-гл]

На этом историческом концерте был лично. Абсолютный восторг!

[СабинаЮсупова-гс]

Эта эпоха слушателя.... тоже ушла... То, что мы видим и слышим сейчас, уникальное явление! Друзья, кто понимает о чем я, пожалуйста, отзовитесь, милые, духовные люди! ❤

[minpiede]

This is truly Horowitz admirer’s upload. No commercials at all. What a treat. Thank you!

[Astrid-jtcd]

Rest in peace dear maestro for all the joy you gave us thru your beautiful music

[stuartgassel]

Absolute genius. He had unparalleled heart and soul, and always gave a pure interpretation of the composer’s meaning and purpose. I miss his playing, especially those “butterfly fingers”, but we are blessed to have a rich history of recordings and concert memories.

[andreaskonig]

All these wonderful images of the people in the audience. None of them - none - will have ever forgotten that concert.

[mosheknoll]

What a privilege to be able to watch and hear this immortal performance again and again! Horowitz will be remembered for as long as Classical Music lives on this earth.

[jonathangilmore]

One of the most recognizable and ideosynchratic pianists recorded, and in his later years one of the most tender. If he didn’t any longer have the old energy, endurance and brimstone, he still had most dynamic control and touch of any pianist alive IMO. He took liberties with composers, but it often worked, and when it didn’t, we’ll, he was always looking for new and different insights. You could forgive him. He was so “Old World!”

[patriciatopitzer]

His 'Traumerei ' is worth the entire concert. Musical genius and unerring taste. I have watched this countless times and every time I end up in tears. He was in a musical universe if his own. I am just eternally grateful that I lived at a time to hear him.

[раисамясников]

Непревзойдённый Великий Владимир Горовиц! Снова и снова наслаждаюсь каждым звуком этого замечательного музыканта- художника!

[deanropchan]

I have great love for Horowitz. This was a mere 6 days before the Chernobyl disaster only 430 miles away.

[brigitteklaua]

Der Mann war genial und konnte mit jeder Musik überzeugen!

[laslasman]

A superb master at piano pianissimo control ...unmatched yesterday, ..today...

[lawrencetaylor]

I was shocked at how beautiful this whole concert was. It was a celebration.
