Incredible Mozart! Ignore what the purists say about how to perform this composer and just enjoy Horowitz's very musical take on one of Mozart's sonata.
A reasonably musical sewing machine as far as the more dramatic passages of the Mozart sonata are concerned, the rest is sweet. No comparison, by the way, with the very noble and restrained rendition of the Sonata K. 331, which would have given enough opportunity for exaggeration, in 1966 at Carnegie Hall.
Horowitz makes me happy. Instantly. I listen to his playing when I'm not in a good mood.
But does your therapist know?
I believe that I was there that night! The only seats available were “stage seats and we were asked to wear demurely colored clothing- not to detract or distract!! My two sisters and I were competitive pianists, not good enough for the concert stage but good enough for me to perform at my Baccalaureate!It was an evening spent with a genius!
This is a wonderful recollection you have shared Barbara! I wonder, how old were you when you saw Horowitz play live?
Barbara I envy you and I was born in the wrong generation, musically speaking.
Without a doubt, one of the best piano recitals recorded live, Horowitz at the zenith of his technical and interpretive splendor, the most electrifying, hypnotic and extreme version of Prokofiev's seventh sonata.
The precipitato from the Prokoviev sonata was thriling and beyond stupendous. I almost suffered cardiac arrest.
The Chopin Gande Valse Brilliate is played so very beautifully it brought me to the brink of tears...
Владимир Горовец действительно похож на Шопена! Он как будто спустился с небес! Так играть могло только неземное существо !Феноменальная память, такое разнообразие красок, невероятный вкус ! Какое чудо ,что нам дана возможность наслаждаться таким совершенством!!!
Бесконечное СОВЕРШЕНСТВО! НЕСРАВНЕННЫЙ!
ТАК ПРОКОФЬЕВА НИКТО НЕ МОЖЕТ ИСПОЛНИТЬ! ЭТО НЕОБЪЯСНИМО И ОЧЕНЬ ПРОНИКНОВЕННО!! А ТАКИЕ КРАСКИ ТОЛЬКО У НЕГО!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Horowitz is not only a beautiful pianist but I like to listen to him talk. He can be very funny. Also because of him I have discovered Scriabin something I thought impossible. Such a man.
Utterly agree with comment below. I'd add that in the Mozart, Horowitz is at the very peak of artistic nuance whereby the different voices, within their respective registers, play out a magical dialogue with each-other. Heifetz often achieved precisely the same thing; the effect of a perfectly spun mini-opera without words.
The world needs more of Horowitz in their daily lives, it would soothe so many souls. Mil gracias por compartir. Paz.
Outstanding romantic Horowitz picking a lovely Clara Wieck Schumann in his bright selected repertoire. What a sensibility!
his technique is mindblowing. i'd love to hear him in a jazz trio setting
Horowitz glänzt immer noch ,mit seiner überragenden Spielweise, egal was er spielt
Er überzeugt mit seiner feinfühligen Technik, die uns immer wieder berühren und überzeugen, dass er ein großer Meister seines Faches ist und bleibt!
U can listen for hours and never be tired.
Someone blew their noses during the master's performance of my favourite waltz, TWICE :( and it's still amazing. That's the power of Horowitz. Surviving any nose blow, anyday.
The Schumann Clara Wieck Variations that opens the program is indescribably beautiful. How the piano sings !
I love his playing schumann's music. I fall totally head over heels.
Witold Domeyko I worked on and somewhat learned this sonata after hearing this recording in the 1980s, had the same reaction, TOTAL head over heels!!
Martha Shepp Have you checked his performance of the Kreisleriana by Schumann ? A unrivaled masterpiece.
That first piece is powerfully and gives me goosebumps..I think Horowitz is the best pianists I ever heard.I agree there was a lot of coughing and hacking ..must of been during winter in New York and let's not forget there were many more smokers back then..
Sokolov
Pollini
NOT TRUE!! Horowitz not The greatest pianists!! The greatest pianists of All Time Are really Artur Rubinstein ( The God) Grigory Sokolov ( The Titan of The piano The Giant of The piano) Emil Gilels (The King) Wilhelm Kempff ( The most beautiful piano sound Ever) Radu Lupu ( The most colorful piano sound Ever) Vladimir Ashkenazy ( The most colorful volcanic piano sound Ever) Sviatoslav Richter Mikhail Pletnev ( The most Powerful Ever) Alexei Lubimov ( The Genius no 1). Maurizio Pollini ( The Genius no 2) Stanislav Igolinsky (. better than Lipatti!!! Igolinsky My money My list says Igolinsky better than Lipatti!!). Andrei Gavrilov ( The notes King of Tchaikovsky piano concerto no 1! Gavrilov The only one play The correct tempo score notes tells You How to play Tchaikovsky piano concerto no 1!.No.one Else do not play this The correct way because they van not IT is too difficult to them! Gavrilov The Notes King of Tchaikovsky piano concerto no 1). Victor Eresko ( our Time Busoni!!).Natalia Trull ( THE QUEEN TIGER POWER NATALIA TRULL!!! Prokoviev piano concerto no,3!!!!).
@@RaineriHakkarainen in terms of longevity, technique, and overall success Horowitz pockets most of all your mentioned pianists, I would agree that Artur Rubinstein is also one the best, and amongst his contemporaries Joseph Hoffmann was considered the best.
I think Horowitz is one of the greatest pianisto in the world. I like his performances. especialy this live is wonderfull. Many change of piano tone make me happy.
Wonderfully nuanced performance with passages and peddling that only he could achieve. Hearing this performance for the first time now in 2024, I was two yrs old in 1951. I heard him in Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor MI in the late 70’s.
Excellent performance of Chopin's Etude op. 10 no. 4.
Such clean playing!
Horowitz was incredibly magical and so brilliant. I am endlessly grateful that we have these wonderful recordings.
Nicole pisce
Yes. Totally agree! I wish today's pianists can learn his control. Too many play as if they are in olympics.
@@ruilovesschreiner6847 Funny, but true.
@@ruilovesschreiner6847 Horowitz although known for great feats on the piano always played in a cantabile with a smooth seamless beauty, especially in Schubert and Mozart and of course Scarlatti. Thanks for posting this. Tom
Un gran recuerdo. 🇮🇷😍🧨🧨🧨🧨
Personally I have never heard a better Prokofiev 7 and that's taking into account Richter.
Thank you so much for this fascinating historical upload, we hear the legendary pianist at his artistic and virtuosic peak.
P
Each of his programmes is in perfect harmony and well-balanced. They have so many charm.
Quite stunning. So this is how Horowitz sounded in his halcyon days. Fascinating how his playing here has everything - this is a purer, more noble Horowitz than I have ever heard before. A breathtaking amalgam of virtuosity, intellect and artistry.
What a wonderful memento of a Super Great pianist.
one of the best Horowitz's recital ever!
of many!
Beautiful performance
Время остановилось. Прошлое ли, будущее ли, уже не властны над душой, ибо есть та музыка, то исполнение, которое взрывает настоящее высшим чувством сопричастности к тому прекрасному божественному, которое есть непостижимая человеку вечность.
Steve - I totally agree. Those TH-cam videos really are gems.
Those TH-cam videos are a gem.
-This Variations on a Theme by Clara Schumann is such a magical piece..
Horowitz is in my heart.
Warum versteckt man sich unter Namen wie Ludwig van Beethoven?
This performance occurred on a monday in the evening, not the usual legendary sunday afternoon timing he later adopted, arguing that people were more relaxed and receptive at that time. But closing out the first half of the program with an incredibly explosive rendering of Prokofiev's Precipitato surely got people's attention providing a perfect backdrop setting for the marvelous Chopin to follow. At any rate, boy was he ever in top form here ... probably many left absolutely stunned at what they just experienced.
Thank you for posting this recital, it is absolutely remarcable
What make horowitz so great is that he could have such distinct characteristic and interpretation in each piece he played, that could easily help us differentiate his performance than other pianist ever exist.
Come on Rulio!! Horowitz Not The Greatest Pianist!! MORE beautiful colorful piano sound than Horowitz=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy! MORE powerful Louder than Horowitz=Mikhail Pletnev The Most powerful Loudest pianist ever=( Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!!) The Second Loudest Hardest Hitter of The Keyboard was Lazar Berman!! MORE Genius than Horowitz=Sviatoslav Richter Maurizio Pollini Grigory Sokolov Solomon Cutner Stanislav Igolinsky!!!
I like Alexei Sultanov very very much...one of the best pianist ever!
That warp at ~55:48 wasn't intentional I know - but to me adds so much to the sincerity of Horowitz's performance and the technology of that time.
A superb recording!
I love Vladimir Horowitz's touch. So simple but profound.
Grateful to hear this repertoire in performance.
For my money, Horowitz owns the Scriabin Etude Op. 2 No. 1. The breadth and depth of expression he brings forth here is uniquely compelling. For all those who say that Horowitz was "just a showman," this Scriabin Etude performance shows how sensitive a musician Horowitz was.
Funk & Wagnalls directed me here. Well done, Vladimir!
Que agregar a la interpretación de este gran maestro. Su toque claro y poderoso, aún en los pasajes mas difíciles, es imposible de encontrar hoy.
Horowitz is extremely emotional, bombastic, romantic yet mature and tasteful in this performance.
May I ask what you mean here by "bombastic"? I hope you're not being influenced (as most people are) by the first four letters of this forever-misused word.
I am surprised because his art is very deep. He is the best.
Come on! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Horowitz=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Horowitz=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini! More powerful louder than Horowitz=Mikhail Pletnev( Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The Second Loudest was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi!!
Thousand thumbs up! Fabulous concert and marvellous description. The Mozart sonata makes for a terribly fascinating comparison with his late recording for DG.
Come on Alexander Arsov!! Horowitz Not the Greatest Pianist! Better more colorful beautiful piano.sound than Horowitz=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy! MORE POWERFUL Louder than Horowitz=Mikhail Pletnev The Most Powerful Loudest pianist ever!!=( Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev! Pletnev The Nuclear BOMB POWER!!

Amazing Love it
wonderful tecnique....in this fragile world!!!!
Thank you very much for letting us hear this wonderful concert. Horowitz was so unique and magical. I am endlessly excited by Horowitz's playing.
Indéniablement, le plus grand pianiste du siecle.
incredible Mozart. expressive and alive, so far away from these cold and stiff "interpretations" of today...
Incredibly beautiful slow movement. This is indeed Horowitz at his musical peak.
@@astrasfo I completely agree, with this mvt the legendary pianist transports his audience to a place of beauty and serenity.
I've been playing that sonata all my life. He is marvelous, but the third movement tempo is not Allegretto!!!
Look who's to say who is the best?...is it not very personal and subjective ? I guess the question to ask is how does this music move me?!...well let me tell you the Clara Schuman piece had me corkscrewing my way through the Orion arm belt of the Milky way around the center of the galaxy!
No me lo podía perder en su consagración. ❤️🏆🥇👋👋👋🧨🧨

Indiscutible
I note that you make not one single comment on this recital, on H's interpretation here, really on anything substantive. You just say irrelevant stuff. Your comment is so badly done. Do you think you change anyone's mind with your ranting?
E oggi ascoltano i virtuosi privi di nerbo che ci sono rimasti...il Prokofiev qui proposto è qualcosa di semplicemente superlativo! Il tactus inflessibile e modernissimamente sentito ( con una cattiveria stupenda) del finale si unisce ad un dinamismo travolgente di stampo post- romantico...semplicemente superlativo!
Merci ! vient de "sortir" les 41 cds d'enregistrements à Carnegie Hall enfin !!! et quelle qualité/son pour les anées 50...en Live !
ceci est merveilleux !!!
Sychophantic as I am , regarding Sviatoslav Richter; I must however give Vladimir Horowitz his due accolades, particularly with respect to his performance of Prokofiev's Seventh Piano Sonata. Horowitz plays it with such chutzpah, yet the sonorities are eternally there; just the same with the Chopin Polonaises, the flash and brilliance reverberate and resonate with me.
이런 근사한 연주를 듣도록 해줘서 고맙습니다. 최고의 연주자에게 존경의 마음을 보냅니다. 덕분에 행복한 시간을 갖습니다~^^
😊
Brilhante!!!!
Thank you for the uploading.
Après 65 années passées depuis ce concert, rien n'a vieilli et W.Horowitz prouve qu'il reste immortel
Sublime
Liszts Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 is quite wild!
Just from an interpretative perspective, this is one endurance test -- passed, of course, with great aplomb by the greatest pianist of his century --and my gratitude, for the thousands of hours Horowitz left us, leaves me wordless!

There's something about that Classical piano that just makes you wanna cough your lungs up.
thank you very much !
Thanks!
brilliant. thanks.
Genius playing
a recording that is remarkable in more than one way, look at the record jacket spelling of Carnegie...
***** yes, 'gie' is the correct way to spell the last syllable of the name of the robber baron of steel. the record jacket has 'Carnegy' as the spelling. i think the emphasis of Mr. Herz' comment was on 'look at the record jacket spelling.' but then he tags the end of that clause with a prepositional phrase that includes the correct spelling of the name of the robber baron. so, if one reads his comment logically according to common syntactic practice, as you have done, one could only conclude that Mr. Herz was implying that 'Carnegie' is spelled incorrectly. i immediately noticed a miscommunication when i saw your reply and his poorly constructed sentence. so, i looked at the record jacket, and with my magnifying glass, i could indeed discern a spelling of 'Carnegy' (sic). but i don't think that's so interesting, nor do i think the album is very interesting either. however, i find failures in communication to be fascinating. muchas gracias y saludos desde Tokio.
his chopin etude op.10 no.4 is absolut perfection. Many pianists play it too fast and lost its mysterius feelings.
Horowitz version u can clearly feel the mystery, perfect choice of speed.
ANd I believe he can play 2-3x faster if he wanted....effortlessly LoL..
fking legend
Thank you for this very emotional upload - Friendly to You -
Я где - то читала, что Горовиц повсюду ездил со своим роялем. И действительно, звук его рояля от соприкосновения с его пальцами изумительный!!!
For me unquestionably Horowitz at his pianistic peak. The Prokofieff coda is even by his standards probably unsurpassed for sheer raucousness, and which virtuoso would dare - in Carnegie Hall - perform the Chopin Etude Op.10#4 so slowly as he does? Yet his articulation and sonority is absolutely electrifying; again, Horowitz at his inimitable greatest.
Krishna Martin You’re absolutely correct, this is an astonishing recital. Only wish I could have been there, but it was 10 years before I was born. Still, I got to hear him live 3 times before he died, and I’ll be forever grateful

The Military Polonaise is incredible ! What a powerful playing !
This version of Prokofiev scares me, in that it leaves me in a form of anxiety. Never had that before with it.
I believe Horowitz was the first to play this in the US and Prokofiev admired his recording. It is a very personal view of the work.
Thank you! You Tube!!
Horowitz always gave the public what they wanted...he did not want to bore the public...Richter said he played for his own satisfaction.
The greatest Prokofiev 7 of all time. The most poetic, and at the end the most explosive.
ok! Sincerely. Thank
Great
I'm surprised no one mentioned Horowitz's exceptional handling of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 1:16:47-1:23:50. Just sublime.Though I also liked other interpretations such as Martha Argerich, there's just no comparison with what is presented here.
Horowitz at the peak of his powers!
Horowitz can even make a Mozart sonata exciting. If that's not genius I don't know what is!
Making Schumann not sound meandering, irrelevant, and insane is also the mark of a pianistic genius. I do prefer his Mozart, though.
The RCA release of Horowitz's 1952 is fab, but I kept looking at the lp album cover, specifically the "Carnegy" adjective of the "Hall," and finally remembered that the adjective ends in "is," not "y."
But the discovery took me 5 minutes, since I was distracted by listening to the performance. Or. ....had I succumbed to misfired brain neurons. Hmm.
It's not an adjective but the name of the founder of the Hall: Andrew Carnegie ('ie' not 'is') One of the world's richest ever people!
certainly earned his paycheque with this program
Magnífico.
據說大師在1953引退之前是他的藝術表現最精湛的時期
whenever I hear Horowitz play I feel like lasers are shooting out of the piano #hilarious
nobody can watch him, he tops everybody. the rest of the pianists are playing 4 2nd place.

Andrew Strasfogel the programme is included in the extra information.
Western art music - and its performance standards - let's face it - unsurpassed in world history - was at its peak in this period, and although there were many accomplished pianists, and a few musical geniuses, Vlad was unique.

One of the glamorous Peaks before he stopped the 'Race' for 12 years.
Nice vid
"Horowitz plays piano like a bat out of hell," a nightshade euphemism in music action! DGM/
WHAT an evening! And to think we have it in perpetuity - thanks to BAxitorCH
참 좋습니다(very good).
You know, I just had a thought as to why he gave up live performing in 53. He did Schubert's last big sonata in 53 (Bb) in 53, and the critics were not amused. He was trying to do something other than turn the piano upside down, and people were not letting him-like here in 51. I would've stopped playing live as well.
There were I suspect many reasons. Perhaps including that his okaying had reached such a level of nervous intensity and interpretive perfection in his marvelous but singular way) he needed release from that kind of pressure.
Ever since I was a child I always wondered why these great concert players are always playing someone else's compositions.
The great ones do more than play, they interpret. Horowitz was among the greatest of these, not just a player but an interpreter. He wanted much to be a composer but abandoned that endeavor early on in his life because he needed to earn money so that his famiiy would not starve. He had, at his command, the mind of a composer.
His interviews are as fascinating as his playing. He was among the great philosophers of music, of life.
Getting back to your question, it might be fair to say that whatever he played, these composers wrote for him to play, in a sense. He brought to fruition what they put on paper however he chose to interpret it at the time of his playing it, or practicing it. Such is that of an avatar like Horowitz.
I can't speak for anyone else than for myself, but in my case, I do Bach and Mozart more willingly than my own stuff simply because these are the better pieces, compared to mine ....
