Seeing Horowitz move his hands in the air shows me what I’ve always suspected. He pulls back with his fingers which is the most natural movement the fingers can make. I’ve adopted this style of play and I have to tell you it’s so relaxing to play this way and you get a much louder sound. So instead of thinking of striking the key in the vertical way he’s like pulling the fingers back towards the center of his palm. It’s pretty cool stuff.
It's not only about Horowitz! It was also the great and non-selfish musician and conductor Carlo Maria Gulini who gave Mr. Horowitz so much support and guidance! R.I.P. maestro Gulini and maestro Horowitz!
"His playing sounds like light bursting out of a prism. The melody seems so alive and crystal clear. " I don't know why, but this is an above-average performance by him!
Inimitable VH. Gorgeous Mozart. As a senior Master Artist in a most beautiful collaboration….one for History Even this behind the scenes snippet is of historical importance. Mozart would have loved to watch this, for sure. Rachmaninov & Scriabin, too.
He keeps entire piece of music in the palm of his beautiful hands. He can hear entire piece of music without even touching a piano. Who can hear in advance entire piece of music. From one side he’s in the present but he’s mind
I am not used to the speed at which it is played but - this is superb. Horowitz phrasing is beautiful and his fingers make the piano sing. If I had the time I could listen to this all day and never tire. A must for my desert island!
When there are no loose threads, both in the composition and the performance, there is that harmonic convergence that one experiences rarely, and that piece never gets old. For me, this also applies to Miles Davis, "Kinda Blue". It never gets old or annoying.
Il a les mains et la tête. Son Mozart est magnifique. Le toucher est extraordinaire, contrôlé VISIBLEMENT "au doigt et à l'œil", modelant le son, sensible à la moindre inflexion de la nuance. Et puis il y a quelque chose que je n'avais pas encore dans mon arsenal d'outils d'écoute: il rend la ligne mélodique tantôt claire, tantôt sombre. Tantôt il l'éclaircit jusqu'au brillant, même dans le pp, tantôt il l'assombrit jusqu'au terne, même dans le mf. Je n'avais pas fait attention à cela chez d'autres pianistes: c’était pour moi une ”nuance” parmi d’autres sans distinction particulière. C’est YunChan Lim qui m'a fait voir cela. l’impression d’un coup de lumière sur la musique, ou d’une ombre portée, comme lorsque un nuage passe dans un beau ciel clair et fait passer son ombre sur le sol. Ou encore comme quand un visage ”s’assombrit”, comme on dit, ou bien ”s’éclaire”, sans forcément d’énormes effusions: cela peut rester très discret. Et je retrouve tout cela avec Vladimir Horovtz. Je vais appliquer ce ”regard” à d’autres pianistes, et je pense que je vais comprendre pourquoi, en dépit de leur talent, certains m’ennuient, ou pourquoi d’autres m’intéressent, voire me captivent.
It would be hilarious if he jumped up and started freaking out and saying " it's wrong; oh my god ;what have i done; did you hear that? Then pause and say; only kidding.
@dadone82 on a tout dit sur le génie d'Horowitz. Mais comment ne pas être frappé ici par la modestie, l'humilité de Giulini; un si grand Chef ! Quelle classe, quelle noblesse! Lui parti, restent heureusement Abbado et Muti pour perpétuer l'élégance des Chefs Italiens.
lol Horowitz obviously was not very please with his first movement, so before he asks the man, he stands up to avoid harsh criticism. When he asks about the third movement, he sits down and looks to Guilini. Also, when he sits down for the first time he crosses his arms in a defensive position (and the lady asks him "if he's cold" horowitz says "no" and scratches his nose, meaning he just lied) because he awaits the first movement then he forces the 2nd movement. I love Horowitz so much.
yes the other parts are the playing of the 3 movements look in my video. Sadly there is no part of them listening and commenting the 2 other movements. there is an intro before they begin playin ill upload it later today
ameblo.jp/galwayera/entry-12355146796.html Having listened to the second movement of Mozart Piano concerto No.23, I can say that the opinion of Horowitz to K 488 is completely correct. Sure, this second movement is typical Siciliano on 6/8 beat. And the musical scale of this 2nd movement became F♯-minor from A-major of the first movement. We can comprehend how Horowitz had loved this lovable piano "K 488" concerto of Mozart. And I agree that Horowitz had chosen pretty quick tempo to this 2nd movement in spite of Adagio. Because, this is considered a kind of dance music named Siciliano, it's natural for him to adopt quicker tempo. From Tokyo
Horowitz is a great pianist. But the adagio becomes more sensitive when it is played slower, like Alan Goldstein does. Pitty that the youtube version of his performance is not well recorded.
I believe the recording of the second movement that went on to the CD was this one, but not the same as the other 2nd video showing him playing with the orchestra (the one where he meets the lady that likes his playing more than his tie)

Yes! Around 2:32
Oh my goodness !!!

Amazing, lovable, genuine person! A CHILD!
"His playing sounds like light bursting out of a prism. The melody seems so alive and crystal clear. "
I don't know why, but this is an above-average performance by him!
Amazing, what insight and knowledge. And to hear Giulini call Horowitz maestro is fascinating! Giulini seemed like a humbe person.
Inimitable VH. Gorgeous Mozart. As a senior Master Artist in a most beautiful collaboration….one for History

very interesting to see Horowitz critique his own performance, but let's thank Mozart for writing such sublime music.
Carlo Maria Giulini, a conductor sent by God
He did demonstrate perfection. He is the god 😢
He keeps entire piece of music in the palm of his beautiful hands. He can hear entire piece of music without even touching a piano. Who can hear in advance entire piece of music. From one side he’s in the present but he’s mind
But his mind is in the future

-Do you want your jacket,maestro?
-No!Keep my money there!!!!
I love his sense of humor.
A simply wonderful video watching him listening, commentating and reflecting. Thank you.
Un Video stupendo !!!
Due Grandi Esempi di Veri Musicisti .... un Grande Pianista Genio del Pianoforte e Un Direttore D'orchestra Fantastico !!
Wow. This video is truly a gem.
notice horowitz's tie.......so nice...changing every time.....
what a master..
Il a les mains et la tête. Son Mozart est magnifique.

he " sees everything " all notes are flying, everything in his place, all instruments like each other, harmonies combine

3:23 best part. I love this guy!

Bravo!!
Как я люблю и уважаю Горовица, как пианиста и как человека.
Открытый, и как ребёнок- естественный и очень непосредственный 😊
Просто он гений

Is this the only part showing him commenting?
I think it's very go-no wait. I think it's EXCELLENT! :)
guilini is a very very good conductor. :)

გამაოგნებელია! დაუჯერებელია! წარმოუდგენელია......
What's the name of the Director?
The sound is hard
what did he say at the end?
"I hope they like my playing more then my tie!" :-)
2:32
Gullini.
Carlo Maria Giulini

Giulini
Guilini himself is a great musician and conductor, himself a great master (though not as renown as Horowitz).
their noses look like mine
Horowitz likes a baby!!
this is a mozart concerto?!?!
didn't know he wrote stuff that felt like this
Haha he likes to blow his own trumpet. Bah! Or should I say "play his own piano"? Ha ha but he's a legend.
lol
No. Keep my money there!
los 2 tipos que estan con el.... estan al pepe, esos no entienden nada!
lol, its so obvious.
