Maybe he was the last romantic, but this just shows he was also one of the best romantics there ever were. This kind of sound is only created by a soul that knew hardship and pain, yet never lost sight of hope.
@@italiantraditionalcatholic2390 may I ask what you meant. That he experienced suffering like everybody in This World goes without saying. That he was one of the best romantics as well. So what remains Is that he lost hope?
It's very true. Even the German news announced his death like this: The last romantic is dead - Der letzte Romantiker ist tot. He was the master of all masters, an exception, a poet of the piano, a master of sound colours.
The fact that it is slightly above the original tone brings even more mystery, beauty that would have appeared through a parallel universe, nostalgia for a world I have not known.
Yes, it is "off." I was thinking it must be the age of the filming, done analog. I have the "official" Deustche Grammophon recording of this, I know it far more intimately than the back of my hand. And this wavers in and out of tune, and is sharp (is it "Consolation in D major" now? -- haha. Maybe it's E flat major...)
@@theothererik1128 😁 indeed! I just saw this video on TH-cam and had to check.. not D flat at A=440, closer to D it is! Or A=443 Hz because of analog acceleration? 🎹🎻🎶
He adds some little things that are not printed in the original score, but my goodness, what a charming and classy rendition. He reaches what the composer Giacinto Scelsi described as the "heart of the sound".
@@PastPerspectives3 i would say " music is not JUST notes on a page" cause well, if it isn't that we can't read it in the first place and Liszt couldn't have wrote it xD
As recorded, his pedaling... is less than fulfilling . Obviously, he missed a number of opportunities to milk the cow. Nevertheless, I don't know how he could work around her... all the time. No wonder he went crazzie........... a number of times. She gives me the willies. (His wife.)
Besides everything else that made HOROWITZ the greatest pianist of the last century and perhaps of all time, his power, accuracy, phrasing, interpretation, digital dexterity and virtuosity, you have to also marvel at his incredible MEMORY and the size of his endless repertoire of all the biggest piano busters ever composed...it is amazing. The other day I heard him perform one of Rachmaninoff's piano concertos in D flat or something with full orchestra, a bizarre convoluted 35 minute piece of the most disjunctive, un-harmonious jumble of notes you ever heard and despite already being very advanced in age, he played it note PERFECT without music in front of him...as usual. I kow that many schools turn out long strings of top level pianists who can probably play all of HOROWITZ'S repertoire as well and I have even seen some eight year olds play some of the toughest Chopin compositions BLINDFOLDED...but nobody could play a two hour concert of the most difficult pieces ever written, all from memory and all without a single mistake and with the greatest degree of virtuosity of any pianist....on this planet You could go on and on with the superlatives but words are not enough to adequately describe the total genius that HOROWITZ was on the piano. In spite of this he was still very humble and often when he received one of his numerous plaudits, he would always say; " I DID NOT WRITE IT...you should congratulate the composer " Every time I listen to his wonderful other-worldly skills....I want to break my piano and take up knitting. The best of the best of the best.
Maravilhosa essa interpretação. Você falou da memória dele. Também já vi. Mas nesta música me impressiona a delicadeza e o jeito de ele sentir as teclas com os dedos. Muito me encanta quem toca músicas pequenas com tamanho cuidado com cada nota. São consolações. Me impressiona também o grande Liszt ter composto essas Consolações tão simplesmente delicadas e sentidas, mesmo em alguns momentos de forte dor. Não há o que falar de Liszt. Grande demais. Também não consigo falar mais de Horowitz. Outro gigante. Somente: Bravo! Bravíssimo!
andrew kennaugh Yes, he really was. Not egotistic playing at all. Individual, yes, which is not the same thing. Egotistic playing crushes the music-individual playing brings it to life.
@@liedersanger1 how well expressed!! And yes His playing Is out of the ordinary. i think he is the best for this piece. He moves one's heart in such a subtle way. He reminds me of Wladimir Szpielman, on YT at that age from the real story movie in Poland "the pianist" where he plays Chopin as His "speciality"
Absolute romantic bliss...This is exactly how this piece should be played in my eyes. I wonder if liszt was dancing in the stars with a lover whilst it was played!
Готов слушать хоть каждый день! Я и сам, когда дома играю эту чудесную мелодию, стараюсь играть также душевно. Тогда и сам растворяешься в этой музыке.
I don't like to think of anyone as "The Last Romantic". Can't we say the greatest, or somesuch? One of the pictures on the wall behind him is of Rachmaninov, his compatriot, friend and fellow romantic. The closeups of his hands never cease to amaze me.
This pulls on my heart strings in every nano second. Maestro Horowitz was the truest master of this amazing instrument, and in my opinion, the greatest romantic (and the last, agreed)
I have to admit that I would like to ignore any other pianist's performance whenever after listening Horowitz's playing on every piece he did. It seems to me that music has become a kind of religion in Mr. Horowitz's mind. I am witnessing a great pinist's holy and piety to the music whenever he is playing,. He is a treuly spokesperson for the great soul. And Horowitz himself is a great soul. Others are just "performers" It is Horowitz's soul outshine all the other contemporaries.
Not sure why they say "play" the piano. It takes a lot of work. Persistent, consistent work over many years. And tears of frustration and joy. Making it look like play is an art in itself. I hope you can do it one day.
This performance is pitched up about 90% of the way to D major. I wonder if the tape is fast, or if VH's home piano was tuned sharp, so as to be more like European orchestral tuning of the 1990's Has anyone else noticed this? Wonderful controlled smolder here, of course MBB
@@jenniferl.8111 it Makes me sad too, Jennifer...i was priviledged to grow up with Classical music, ballet, fine arts, in Europe. I like to send these good videos to people, read, answer good comments. Have "converted" organically a friend that did not like Classical music, AND all at once she wrote how beautiful AND that today there is so little that Is harmonious, melodious or that one can listen to. I just wish these beautiful arts are preserved, they have a strong effect on children, make us more mellow, better people, give a Sense of Wellbeing, even proved for its healing effects. So i do my little contribution to that end. Music therapy.
The sound of the recording (I'm assuming) is off. Makes it sharp (a lot.) I have the CD of this from 1985 (which may be a studio session?) and it's properly pitched. I do recall, however, that the liner notes indicated that it was an interminably humid day in NYC and the AC was not working. I hope that was not the reason for odd pitch issue. It's wonderful to see the master in his environment, though. What a dear, sweet man. (And probably an extremely "difficult" person, haha) For a better YT experience, may I suggest the 1987 Vienna version of Horowitz playing the Consolation.
I watched this version..just after hearing the Lang Lang’s rendition ..and (tho i like Lang Lang) i understood some things... .. (+ i remembered i don’t like showbiz and marketing ..)

When I heard this for the first time (a 60-Minutes special back in 1985) I thought it must be Chopin. Ha!! I have since said of this piece that Liszt out-Chopinned Chopin himself. It is sublimely intimate and delicate. As only Horowitz could achieve.

I often hide in the remarkable music of Horowitz, it's a shelter for me. No music has touched my heart and soul like his.

I absolutely get carried away by his beautiful interpretations.

Thanks! I had been listening to other versions, and this sounded wrong at first.

Yep. It's not right. I have a CD of this (which may be a different session in a studio, and not at VH's home) and it is the proper pitch.
Wow... such beauty. How does this only get 45k views?
This Is part of a beautiful minority subculture, not the mainstream...

Why do they teach piano students nowadays to keep your fingers curled. That's not what I see this greatest piano player who ever lived doing.
Without a doubt the last of the true romantics

So unbelievably heavy handed. This piece should be whispered.
Apparently you do not listen with your ears....

Am i right or am i right ? This is better than the Rubinstein performance ? Where was Horowitz all those years ?
The timing of the melody is rather strange, It is as though it is ignoring the flowing of the arpeggios,
@musik102 yes. His sense of rubato is quite that!
the distance between me and him is so far i hope i can play like him
The sound of the recording (I'm assuming) is off. Makes it sharp (a lot.) I have the CD of this from 1985 (which may be a studio session?) and it's properly pitched.

For a better YT experience, may I suggest the 1987 Vienna version of Horowitz playing the Consolation.
It is beginning to dawn on me more and more that this guy IS greater than Rubinstein. Yes ?
They are different, both incredibly amazing pianists. In my opinion there are no "greater" artists, they are just different.
Was, but yes I prefer Horowitz. And they were both Jewish -- that should tell you something. God's people are so gifted. (No, I'm not Jewish)
Le plus grand !
