วีดีโอ

0:00 lizst turns into alkan lol

5:05 sounds like Wagner

Thank you for sharing these pieces you have a good channel

That's a nice gem of a recording

The Fantasie is slightly underrated in my opinion, better than the scherzi and better than at least one ballade

From the era before his breakdown when VH was the greatest pianist born after 1900,, including modern pianists

Horowvitz... Michaelangeli... Pollini...

This is really good

ニレジハージの演奏好き❤

Leider kein Tempo di Marcia am Anfang! Das ist doch ein eindeutiger Hinweus!

Beautiful

There is only a few notes without accidentals...crazy to read. But it sounds amazing!

0:13 chord hits hard

agree that VH plays slower than others at 5:05 section. it makes more tension

Have you heard Richter's 1954 recording? I quite like it, more than Hamelin's by a long shot actually.

Surprised the piano survived the 3rd mov.

I usually strongly dislike this pianist, but this recording is really good

I mention a name: ALEXANDER MALOFEEV: His interpretation of the third movement of this sonata remains unmatched

Wagner+Mahler+R Strauss+Skriabin and you get something like this.

18:07 :D

II. 8:30 III. 14:41

Ugly sonata

The wheels were inches away from falling off here. It shows. Incredible.

This is an AWESOME feat and I'm by no means trying to hate, but I really don't get some of the musical decisions here - perhaps the easy bits are helpful as a break for the pianist, but a lot of these easy bits sound like a string of notes rather than Beethoven 9, and there are a lot of added bass notes for dramatic effect that feel really out of place.

30:33

He was in his mid-forties. The "young" Horowitz was the Horowitz of the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Coming back to this in a time of need. Incredible music.

25:00

Beginning at around 7:00, we can easily sense that Horowitz is switching over to frenzied mode, resulting in a tempo that even he can't sustain, omitting a few measures in the process. There's excitement, of course, but this borderline hysteria unfortunately makes for a less-than-musical experience. A pianist of his colossal abilities could've certainly done more to realize this piece to the fullest extent without resorting to such extreme over-dramatization.

I'm glad that my digitization of this recording has reached a wider audience through your channel. I worked quite a bit to get the dynamics consistent wi the LP.

How is it even possible to get such a rich variety of sounds from a piano? Truly out of this world

More videos please if possible.

St Francois de Paula sailing through a tsunami 🤔

I never heard anyone accuse this piece of being of high quality, and this performance does its best to substantiate the idea. Could the opening tempo be any alower? Could the rest of the piece be played any more sloppily or unmusically? No one (in my listening experience), not even Horowitz, has been able to make this piece "work", and I can't imagine why a pianist would bother with it, there being so many dozens of "worthier" works from which to choose.

Yay my two favorites!! Great choices

9:30, 16:14, 44:37

Nice try..don't try

In the 50s with Horowitz retired, I would raise Michelangeli as the greatest pianist performing live. This and his 1957 Debussy Images are mind-blowingly good

nice

Epic!

young beast hrowotiz

so glad to see lyapunov perform

Legendary score video, congratulations!

I wondered why all the clinkers...and Ervin. Explains it.

Nice

How many notes in each bundle?

Thank you

This is a Broadcast recording in Carnegie Hall 6 May 1940, before 3 days of his RCA studio recording 9 May 1940
