For people who don't consider Mozart's music emotional or deep: grow up! Just because he's not an exaggerating, over-poetical romanticist it doesn't mean his music doesn't express true emotions. He's just not as obvious. You think you understand him perfectly, but there's is more than one level of understanding Mozart - the obvious, and what's behind the facade. Sure, he sometimes had to compose music for pure entertainment, but you go listen to his 20th pno concerto, and say it's not emotional!
Actually my piano teacher was a student of Horowitz, which I just realized. They even had a photo shot at 1946 together it is still in my piano teachers living room.
Amazing to see his interaction with the members of the orchestra. He was 83 when this was recorded. For all those supposed musical "experts" who make such narrow-minded comments (about his tie?) please take time to understand and listen with your heart! Horowitz was a master in every sense of the word. And funny, too! Look at his "conducting" at 7:03 -- he was enjoying himself! Bravo, maestro. Bravo!
as I said on the first movement. Absolutely amazing. You don't find this experience and workmanship any more. Sadly. Brilliant interpretation. And I don't think it's too fast. Mozart has to bubbly, like freshly opened champagne. Love it.
his technique, the use of his hands and fingers is really unique......... what other pianist would have such finger nails..................... absolutely stunning performance. The 2nd movement is truly VOX DEI.......... the voice of God!
Bravo!!!! One of my very favorite concerto.. I love it. Beautiful !!! Mozart, his my love of my life, I love everything about his music, but this is one of best`` Mr. Horowitz, looks like his having moment with GREAT Wolfgang A. Mozart.. I am sure that, their good friend in the three three dimensions world~`` Ich liebe dich und verfehlen Sie Sie Mozart und danke Horowitz ` Ancore~`` Thank you for sharing with all of us!! May Good Lord bless you forever+
I don't know about adorable, but some in the know say this is the finest visual recording of Mozart's piano concerto 23, 3rd mvmt, of the 20th century; and not just by the maestro but of any other pianist. Thank you mportugals and TJENYC212.........yes, that was my area code too when i lived on Water St.
Great post - thank you, I know he was not known for Mozart BUT he is Horowitz and a sorcerer to me. What VH does at and with the piano amazes me !!!! One other instrumentalist illicits this kind of adoration and happiness in me, viz, Jascha Heifetz. They performed together once in a benefit concert in New York, at a Hotel I believe, in the early 20th century. O to have been there. Regards-John
Mozart may not be the greatest ever, but he had the richest and melodious music and qualitiest lolll music of all. In my opinion, he is the greatest ever
I watched him perform on Mozart's 250th birthday program on Korean ArirangTv, and I liked it . This movement is my favourite among Mozart's, although I'm a die hard Thrash Metal fan I truly love Moz Art's.
There's nothing to compare with all those fantastic piano concertos Mozart wrote. Half a century of listening to them and they still sound fresh. And now there are the new authentic styles of Levine et all to enjoy. After all that enjoyment of works we thought we knew by heart, they will sound suddenly new again, as extra delicacies are unveiled. How lucky we are to have all the 'geeks' of both history and electronics getting together to produce this free for our unlimited use.
Simply wonderful. Thank you so much for uploading this. I am in seventh heaven listening to it and by the wonderful man himself too. I feel really privileged.
besides I used to play the same Concerto and many others of Mozart's (like any student) in High Music School. It s too easy for the Conservatory students. Warm regards to all profans. many kisses
People, a person does not get bad because they get old. As long as he was not crippled with arthritis in his hands, he could play as well as ever -- and get better and better. Not all people get senile with age; some get better and better. The older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune!
Une sensibilité extraordinaire , des interprétations merveilleuses qui vous attachent à cet instrument formidable qu'est le piano , touché au plus profond de l' âme, Merci
It is amazing the Horowitz could control ppp so "small" althrough the concerto. The piano can't be so quiet at the same time it is still heard. His playing is amazing.
It absolutely boggles my mind how someone can be so utterly relaxed and actually having fun, and I can't play Happy Birthday to a small group of 3 without freezing up.
Look at him conducting from the piano. When Gould did it, it looked cool. But Horowitz just looks funny. lol Still my favorite recording of this piece though. His sudden shift from Fortissimo to Pianissimo is incredible to say the least.
@polymath7 I don't really have a good answer for that question, I am no professional conductor, but I know that there are many different ways of becoming one, many long and hard educations (few have the same luck Toscanini had) and very often you pretty much have to have done everything before you may become a conductor (studying music on a professional level, being a musician for a number of years, teaching, conducting non-professionals etc.).
@RobinLSL Tha's what his wife would said... and he would answer: "I´m not looking for perfection, but interpretation..." Music is so much more than just a good technique
@ProkofievRules I simply don't understand people who don't like Mozart. I have no theory of mind for what it is like not to be in slack-jawed reverential awe of his genius. But you're right about Prokfiev.
Yes, we need more civility in this world-I never understand the vitriol in these comment sections when people disagree - after all we are talking about small differences about something we all hold dear -they quickly degenerate into pissing matches If your initiial comment had been more temperate but still critical or questioning maybe you wouldn't evoke certain responses? As before I hope you do find appreciation for Horowitz's work even if he is not your favorite
Why is the audio so badly saturated? It has been ran through a hard limiter that has completely chopped off most of the signal. Horowitz's performance is pure magic .I have begun working on that concerto, and I would be curious to hear how people who criticize Horowitz would play it instead. Feel free to upload your own version and let's compare.
@jjp009 I think its a wrong note in the left hand of the scales in 10ths...the second time they descend. Not sure though. His little giggle is priceless.
I have to say thank you for your good replies. I have seen many people snap and only try to bash me after I say something controversial, but you have been polite and open-minded.
@musicy88 I know exactly what you mean. I know almost nothing about Horrrowitz's personality, but something tells me I'd love having him as a grandfather.
@ActMax And I believe you have a very high musical education? The conductor is absolutely necessary. What one has to remember as a mere observer of an orchestra is that what you see the conductor do on stage is just the tip of an iceberg; 90% of his/her job is done during rehersals. He, alone, decides and creates the entire character of the interpretation of a piece, as well as keeping the entire orchestra together according to that musical idea during performance.
No matter about the conductor( even if he's essential to keep the all entire orchestra) Horowiz is divine. Just listen to his performance and enjoy it is a great pleasure.
i would like to kno where this video comes from, i mean wich emission/film is it extracted from (name, year etc.) ? Thank you very much and excuse my poor english (french i am)
Where oh where is Vladimir performing Mozart Pianio concerto 21 in c major. I saw it on PBS in the early 90's and I can't find it on ebay =,amazon or youtube.
@ActMax the conductor is always the one credited the most (apart from the pianist), so he must be doing something lol. the conductor has full stylistic control of the piece as well (which he dictates during rehersals probably)
For people who don't consider Mozart's music emotional or deep: grow up! Just because he's not an exaggerating, over-poetical romanticist it doesn't mean his music doesn't express true emotions. He's just not as obvious. You think you understand him perfectly, but there's is more than one level of understanding Mozart - the obvious, and what's behind the facade. Sure, he sometimes had to compose music for pure entertainment, but you go listen to his 20th pno concerto, and say it's not emotional!
classical music was also meant to tell stories, whereas romantic music was meant to tell stories about the composers life
Amazing Mr. Horowitz at his age and nearing the end of life, plays like a 20 year old. A great artist forever.
I wish Horowitz had played all of Mozarts Concertos---Such wonderful dynamics in his playing!!He really makes the piano talk.
And Giulini? Wonderful conductor!
Amazing, historic recording. Inimitable VH Artistry, having fun & joy with the collaboration in a Mozart Masterpiece
Wow. Horowitz. And wow Mozart!
Its about 3+ centuries ago, and its still a super beauty. One of the real greatest musicians to walk this earth!
Actually my piano teacher was a student of Horowitz, which I just realized. They even had a photo shot at 1946 together it is still in my piano teachers living room.
Can I know who is your piano teacher? Are you a music student?
6:53 ... love that!
Do u go to Moscow con? I went there and my teacher back then also was Horowitz’s student
An absolute joy to watch and listen to! Standing ovation from South Africa 🇿🇦 👏👏👏
Amazing how the man can barely walk yet there's so much life and dance in his fingers. Beautiful.
it's unblievably amazing, right? The articulation of each of single note he played with such age!
To him it's just like a walk in a nice park as long as there were great music.
Wonderful isn't it. Sheer bliss.
Amazing to see his interaction with the members of the orchestra. He was 83 when this was recorded. For all those supposed musical "experts" who make such narrow-minded comments (about his tie?) please take time to understand and listen with your heart! Horowitz was a master in every sense of the word. And funny, too! Look at his "conducting" at 7:03 -- he was enjoying himself! Bravo, maestro. Bravo!
It's quite apparent Mr. Horowitz loves the piano! I love watching him!
as I said on the first movement. Absolutely amazing. You don't find this experience and workmanship any more. Sadly.
Brilliant interpretation. And I don't think it's too fast. Mozart has to bubbly, like freshly opened champagne. Love it.

2 genius mozart and Horowitz
The incredible voicing and pedaling.
Horowitz looks so happy in this video. I'm pretty sure he had a blast :) It makes the whole performance sound richer.
Bravo!!!!
One of my very favorite concerto.. I love it.
Beautiful !!!
Mozart, his my love of my life, I love everything about his music, but this is one of best``
Mr. Horowitz, looks like his having moment with GREAT Wolfgang A. Mozart.. I am sure that, their good friend in the three three dimensions world~``
Ich liebe dich und verfehlen Sie Sie Mozart und danke Horowitz `
Ancore~``
Thank you for sharing with all of us!!
May Good Lord bless you forever+
Again his delicate touch is especially good in Mozart- beautifully played!
The Master. Once a prodigy of prodigy's. His talent seemed to become so integrated with his character that he shall never be replicated.
This is my favorite! I am moved and inspired by this piece. It looks so hard to play. I can't get over my admiration for people who can play this.
I don't know about adorable, but some in the know say this is the finest visual recording of Mozart's piano concerto 23, 3rd mvmt, of the 20th century; and not just by the maestro but of any other pianist.

Vladimir Horowitz and wonderful Giulini were MADE for each other! I - probably among LOTS of others - miss them both terribly!
This is the best of the 3 movements. I think Horowitz' playing is great here!
Horowitz is from another special galaxy. A musician and entertainer like few others. BRAVO !!!!!
Simply wonderful. Thank you so much for uploading this. I am in seventh heaven listening to it and by the wonderful man himself too. I feel really privileged.
Amazing! The whole life in one movement. Masterpiece performed by master. Couldn't help listening.
i just love this movement
besides I used to play the same Concerto and many others of Mozart's (like any student) in High Music School. It s too easy for the Conservatory students. Warm regards to all profans.
many kisses
Bravo🌷
i was looking for this video.
Thank you so much for up loading!!!!
Mr. Horowitz is a genius!!!!
Priceless!
People, a person does not get bad because they get old. As long as he was not crippled with arthritis in his hands, he could play as well as ever -- and get better and better. Not all people get senile with age; some get better and better. The older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune!
I absolutely LOVE this! Something tells me, that Horowitz might have become a fine conductor as well.
@musicy88 Yes, he's mischievous in exactly the same way as the music... the living embodiment of this great Mozart concerto!
what a special sensation!
I listen to this every day
Makes it look so easy
Génial, merci, vous avez vu à la 7ème et 48 s [7 : 48] comme il rit d'une erreur, où il est confus. C'est magique
Genial ensayo! Number one!
I love this man!
I find it amazing how he did this at the age of 83, just three years before he died; yet it's still played so nicely.
Une sensibilité extraordinaire , des interprétations merveilleuses qui vous attachent à cet instrument formidable qu'est le piano , touché au plus profond de l' âme, Merci
Pure talent or better pure genius!
ahhh that man Vladimir must LOVE his job!! so lucky to do that for a living your whole life and love every minute of it! :D
Horowitz e formidabil si minunat! Iubesc f.f. mult acest concert!
the 2nd movement is the best by far................... you could see how Horowitz himself was thoroughly pleased with it............. divine
Magic Mozart !
07:49 SO CUTE!!!
It is amazing the Horowitz could control ppp so "small" althrough the concerto. The piano can't be so quiet at the same time it is still heard. His playing is amazing.
It absolutely boggles my mind how someone can be so utterly relaxed and actually having fun, and I can't play Happy Birthday to a small group of 3 without freezing up.
It's a skillset that takes a lifetime. Not tinkering around for 5 minutes here and there
Bis repetita , Horowitz est majestueux, sublime et un interprète hors paire. Les superlatifs restent à inventer tant il excellait dans son art.
I'm learning this now ; I just need a orchestra at the back of me.
I wonder if i can get one to fit in my room :)
Look at him conducting from the piano. When Gould did it, it looked cool. But Horowitz just looks funny. lol
Still my favorite recording of this piece though. His sudden shift from Fortissimo to Pianissimo is incredible to say the least.
sends chills down my spine
from 4:05
Pure, extremely, fantastic... Mozart!
My favourite Concerto per pianoforte!
有夠讚! 感恩 (In Taiwanese: Very good ,thaks for uploaded)
Splendid!
Most enjoyed:) Classic:)
it s impossible to play better than Mr Horowitz...wooooww
we can start,开始～
Исполнено весело, играюче, задорно! У маэстро прекрасное настроение и сам Моцарт здесь в своем великолепии. ЗДОРОВО!!!
Great!
Espectacular!!!!
Horowitz...simply different !!
wow, Horo the old man is amazing
I'm being examined on this in four hours... YAY!
His sound is great and his flat finger method of playing was capable of more tonality.
@polymath7 I don't really have a good answer for that question, I am no professional conductor, but I know that there are many different ways of becoming one, many long and hard educations (few have the same luck Toscanini had) and very often you pretty much have to have done everything before you may become a conductor (studying music on a professional level, being a musician for a number of years, teaching, conducting non-professionals etc.).
Does any of you also have the feeling of looking at Buster Keaton doing a pianoconcerto? With all due respect to mr. Horowitz off course...
@RobinLSL Tha's what his wife would said... and he would answer: "I´m not looking for perfection, but interpretation..." Music is so much more than just a good technique
Magistral y grandioso.
2 Genuises: Mozart and the Orchestra !
BOOM!
straordinario *****!
@ProkofievRules I simply don't understand people who don't like Mozart. I have no theory of mind for what it is like not to be in slack-jawed reverential awe of his genius.
But you're right about Prokfiev.
Yes, we need more civility in this world-I never understand the vitriol in these comment sections when people disagree - after all we are talking about small differences about something we all hold dear -they quickly degenerate into pissing matches
If your initiial comment had been more temperate but still critical or questioning maybe you wouldn't evoke certain responses?
As before I hope you do find appreciation for Horowitz's work even if he is not your favorite
increible
mozart un genio
horowitz perfecto
Is my ear wrong or do I hear small mistakes around 6:00 to 6:20
Why is the audio so badly saturated? It has been ran through a hard limiter that has completely chopped off most of the signal. Horowitz's performance is pure magic .I have begun working on that concerto, and I would be curious to hear how people who criticize Horowitz would play it instead. Feel free to upload your own version and let's compare.
гранатовый браслет
@jjp009 I think its a wrong note in the left hand of the scales in 10ths...the second time they descend. Not sure though. His little giggle is priceless.
I have to say thank you for your good replies. I have seen many people snap and only try to bash me after I say something controversial, but you have been polite and open-minded.
@moltoallegro19 É a música mais linda do mundo,maravilhosa !!!
@richclayderman There are couple spots where he plays the lower key along with the one intended.
@musicy88 I know exactly what you mean. I know almost nothing about Horrrowitz's personality, but something tells me I'd love having him as a grandfather.
great

Thanks for posting this great video. What orchestra is this?
No matter about the conductor( even if he's essential to keep the all entire orchestra) Horowiz is divine. Just listen to his performance and enjoy it is a great pleasure.
i would like to kno where this video comes from, i mean wich emission/film is it extracted from (name, year etc.) ?
Thank you very much and excuse my poor english (french i am)
Where are my hands? Oh, they’re up there!
@RobinLSL
t's strange to me that you keep making these comments here when you don't care for his playing
Why keep listening?
He was what 85?clearly many feel that he still had lots to offer his technique was still a marvel -his touch and tone unique
After 4 decades of unparalleled technical perfection he was looking for something deeper
I find his late H at Home CD fabulous -the Mozart as well as the Liszt Staendchen etc.
@xiwengirl98 of course. That's why he is always called MAESTRO. :)
Where oh where is Vladimir performing Mozart Pianio concerto 21 in c major. I saw it on PBS in the early 90's and I can't find it on ebay =,amazon or youtube.
I hope he is in the Heaven I hope to go to??
🤗
from 2:51.. A DREAM!
@ActMax the conductor is always the one credited the most (apart from the pianist), so he must be doing something lol. the conductor has full stylistic control of the piece as well (which he dictates during rehersals probably)
