- One of the great rarities unearthed in recent years; a complete recording of Horowitz's 1944 Carnegie Hall concerto performance with Artur Rodziǹski. All other uploads on youtube that appear to be this recording are either taken from or patched with material from a separate performance- this is the only complete version.

Truly grateful to you for making this complete historic performance available for the very first time. To the respondent who commented "far from his best" , I would merely point out that this restoration used noise reduction techniques that while eliminating the annoying scratchy surface sounds from the radio broadcast, also unfortunately reduce the super-charged tonal brilliance and commanding presence of the pianist's incredible performance. For that, one must listen to the incomplete version on another channel.
This is the kind of performance that leaves one speechless. The applause after the first movement was interesting. Though it was a break in "protocol," being present at such a brilliant and sublime performance would have made it difficult to simply sit there with arms folded, as though in church. Had I been present at this performance there are numerous places where it would have been difficult to hold back my applause. The composition and the performance both exceeded what we mere mortals could accomplish in one lifetime.
Ahhh, this keeps making me tear up. The performance is heart-felt and has a certain air of authority about it.
I was born in Tartu, Estonia, which is just 373 kms away from Staraya Russa, the town in Russia where Rachmaninov was born. My roots from my father's side are Russian and have ancestry mostly in the same Novgorod area.
Rachmaninov captured the spirit of these people and this land with this music. And this keeps making me tear up, because of its Beauty.
Magnificent, and wonderfully clear sound!
Much, much finer than any of his other recordings of this piece. Such a shame there are so few good studio recordings from him
"Not his best." "Far from compelling." "Doesn't sound like Horowitz." Listen to the cadenza and tell me that's not Horowitz!
Fellow Horowitz lovers (I assume you are), this is a recording of a 1944 performance--80 years ago. A lifetime. How's about instead of cavilling, we just count our blessings?

Bravo!! Vladamir Horowitz.
What did the Master Hororwitz think of the great Jazz pianist Art Tatum?
Sergie V. Rachmanioff, Novgord, 1873. One of the leading Russian composers. Best known by songs and piano works, but he composed larger forms also.
Horowitz was a big fan of Tatum’s. Him and Rachmaninoff both attended Tatum’s live performances and H even made arrangements of some of his standards!

True!!!!
🙏❤️🌎🌿🕊🎵🎶
I once heard an anecdote about Horowitz asking Tatum how long it took him to learn or practice a certain piece that Tatum had just played. Tatum replied, "I just improvised that."
Totally awesome! Casts a shadow over everyone else.
Omg Its super fast.. Will have to listen again.
34:17-34:55
One of the greatest passages in all of classical music.
Wasn't the original version posted on TH-cam but a few minutes of the second movement was missing?
The ultimate performance. Period. Eat your hearts out Wang and Lang
All taken from the same April 23, 1944 broadcast, patched from 2 different sources.

This along with his performance of the Tchaikovsky were to benefit the American war effort…
The very year following Rachmaninoff's death.
where did you get this??
It’s actually been circulating since 2020, I just noticed it had never been uploaded to youtube in full before! It absolutely deserves to be heard though, probably my personal favorite Rach3 ever.
@@d_r_e_a_m_b_o_a_t thanks! where did you find it circulating, I meant
Heartily Agree ! I think it is his best , and despite numerous fine performances by other great pianists, this one towers over any other interpretation. @@d_r_e_a_m_b_o_a_t
1944??? WHAT??????
I used to try to find all Horowitz recordings of rach 3 (was obsessed at the time, lost the obsession eventually but learned first 2 movements)
I remember a Rodzinsky recording of like 1941 or 1943??? But never anything from the year 1944.
Amazing, will try to listen to this eventually, sound quality is also somewhat decent!
April 23, 1944 is the date
33:50
I am intrigued by this performance as Horowitz performed the Rach 3 in 1944 in February in Chicago with Defauw, in March in Boston and Minneapolis with Koussevitsky and Mitropoulos, and no more. This does not sound at all like his playing
I believe you are incorrect. It sounds very much like his playing.
I agree. This is undoubtedly Horowitz playing according to all sources and I would say listening only confirms that it's him.
@@d_r_e_a_m_b_o_a_t You are right! I've done some research - it was performed on 23 April 1944 at Carnegie Hall. I've got so many performances of him playing this piece at that period and it sounded different, which is why I wasn't sure
@@petergolding5733just out of curiosity who else might play like this?
@@ShaneBrandes Nobody!! I got it wrong. But I've got loads of live recordings of him doing this from the same period and it sounded quite cautious compared to the others
Far from his best.
Out of curiosity, which would you say is his best?
Far? This is 1944. He's at his peak. Is there ANOTHER recording "far better?"
1930 with Coates, 1941 w/Barbirolli, 1950 w/Reiner, and 1977 at Ann Arbor. Each great but very different.

I wonder if the noise reduction used in this transfer makes you feel that way; the scratchy incomplete performance on another channel is far more compelling.
