This piece of music was played on the radio at the end of WWII. The studio didn't know what to play...it was over. Millions were dead. The guns were silent. So they played this piece. I'd guess from the date of this performance, and the white hair of that gentleman, that he might have been one of the young soldiers or just kids, who heard that silence, then this piece on the radio. I'm old enough to remember the silence in the US, and we were LUCKY, just 250,000...so I know why he was in tears.
@@eduardalavanja9607 Eduard Alavanja This piece is sung in Russia on victory day every year. It means alot to them in remembrance of the brave men who defeated Hitler on the Eastern front. The crowd is moved to tears because of how much Horowitz playing Traumerie means to the Russian people.
@@banzobeans the Traumerei is played, perpetually, at several war memorial sites in Russia. It is also broadcast annually as part of remembrances. If you Wiki Traumerei you can get more info and there are several videos of one of the memorial sites where this piece is hummed by choir a capella
Makes me think of being on a boat with my dad in the middle of the ocean just sitting next to him fishing and talking I was 7 years old but every time I hear this piece of music that's what I remember very powerful only music can do that
I could watch this again and again, just to drink in the ecstasy/sadness/tragedy/loss/hunger/longing/fleeting moment of joy on these very human faces. He took them away briefly to a place where the Soviets couldn't catch them. The evening was a mass defection. Thank God that era is over for them. Interesting that Horowitz died the same year the USSR collapsed. Horowitz not only Lives, he's a Dude, as my grandson would say.
This was Horowitz first return to Russia since his defection in 1925. You can feel, and see, the emotion of the audiences. Utter rapture. Their love of Horowitz, and his deep connection to Mother Russia was on display. This encore was a farewell to the people. He died in 1989.
the rarest of rare gifts given by god, was given to horowitz. there is such a thing as magic. a magician can expain tricks. no one can explain this, probably even horowitz himself.
I remember when this performance was rebroadcast in the USA 30 years ago. I was transfixed. He had come home to Russia after 61 years and this was his farewell. The audience, made up of music students and appreciators but no politburo politicians, was full of tears. Scriabin's 86 year old daughter was in the audience! I cried then and I cry now, 30 years later. It was a moment in history.
That night, people who couldn't get tickets, stood outside, in the rain, even though they couldn't hear a note of the concert. Just knowing he was there.
Supposedly, Horowitz's expression to the audience immediately after the end of this clip was that of "That's the best I can do". For him to be such a humble performer, to say that he didn't feel like he did Schumann's piece justice...I have endless respect for this man.
this one-of-a-kind poetic performance epitomizes something Horowitz told me back in the 70s when i ventured backstage after one of his Toronto recitals. his recital had just blown me away, & i told him that what i'd just heard (including one of his encores, the 3rd mov. of Rachmaninov's 2nd sonata) seemed to excel his already amazing recorded performances. i'll never forget his reply; sitting & signing autographs, he just looked up at me smiling & said: "Each performance is like a postcard."
You first see an elderly 81 years old, unconsciously you forget he is an elderly, because his play presents a pure heart and mind of an innocent child, wondering a round, day dreaming.
He understands Schumann perfectly. He plays it with emotion and within the strict classical structure which Schumann composed. When Schumann is played like this, his music is just as masterly as Chopin or Mozart.
He does SOOO MUCH with so "little". Make no mistake, "Traumerei" is not an easy piece despite how it sounds. What this giant of a man is doing its nothing short of incredible.
Here we have Horowitz, one of the greatest pianists of the 21st century, performing one of the most beautiful and endearing works of Shumann, the most Romantic of the Romantics, in a land that has the strongest emotional and sentimental attachment to this particular piece. ...truly a historic moment in music
When I was a baby, mom used to let me listen to the classic music of which the melody was very soft and sweet. Now I could know the title of the music and the player, Vladmir Horowitz! I missed him!
This song is so beautiful and means so much to me. My father, who passed away at age 91 (last year), loved this song and played it often. I cannot listen to a phrase without tear rising. It is incredible how a simple melody can carry such meaning and feeling. Wonderful.

To Great Schumann and Horowitz - Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your music and and thank you for having us in your era. God bless you, rest in peace in the sweetest place on heaven !
Then I began to listen to Mr Horowitz, and after this piece of music I found myself sitting there having my tears quietly running down. The tears tasted salty, but my heart felt soft, touched and gently beautiful. Mr Horowitz's play is the cure for my withering heart.
+kingjosh1876 From wikipedia, "Most of the tickets for the Moscow concert were reserved for the Soviet elite and few sold to the general public. This resulted in a number of Moscow Conservatory students crashing the concert."
I remember watching this concert on CBS Sunday morning in 1986 on a show hosted by Charles Kuralt. The first concert by Horowitz in the Soviet Union since 1925. The sweet sounds of Schuman as an encode were bittersweet but lovely. At 1:30, the tear-drenched face of that Russian gentleman is heartbreaking in a way.

So soft and sweet melody... One of my favorites of Robert Schumann. Amazing performance by Vladimir Horowitz. Great pianist.
I first came across this video 10 years ago. I was in my early 20s, doing a "bird course" in music as an undergrad, and I thought it was funny/ overdramatic that the man in the audience shed tears during this. Im turning 31 this October and I just cried uncontrollably after I came across a nursery rhyme I used hum along as a kid. I thought of this video immediately, and I understood him now. Some of us will always, always miss that special place called childhood.
Yes, there are other pianists who may play faster, more accurate, technically more sophisticated etc. than Horowitz. But NOBODY else but him is able to give music such a beauty, such magic, such an emotion, such a wonderful sound that is not from this world. He is the greatest of all times and will always be.
Roland Feller, the world has been so blessed by the great peoples of your Germany; astronomy, sciences, physics, aeronautics, medicine, geographical exploration, the fine arts, especially music, which needs no translation.I am thankful to have occupied a small portion (one acre) of this planet. Let’s pray for peace. God bless you. Elizabeth 🇺🇸
Every time I listen to this piece I am moved. It's breathe taking...and Horowitz is by far and away, my favorite concert pianist. Even now, years after his death, his playing is still so inspired and briliant.
At the Battle of the Stalingrad memorial, Traumerei is played around the clock - see th-cam.com/video/rznR5lQNAqc/w-d-xo.html (about 3 minutes into this video). It is poignant that Russians mourn their losses in the hands of Germans to the music of a German composer. It is a reminder that we are one planet with one people, from horrific to sublime.
I think this must be the video that I have watched most times in youtube. I never get tired of it. The best version I havee heard of this masterpiece. When you hear the last notes it sounds like Horowitz is saying good bye.
Wer hier dislikes postet hat einfach ausgedrückt nicht ganz alle Tassen in der Birne....und hier nichts zu suchen. Hochemotional ist das Klavierspiel von Horowitz, genauso wunderbar auch die Kameraarbeit.. Auch wenn Horowitz manch technischer Fehler unterläuft-in jenem hohen Alter völlig unwichtig, das gefühlvolle Spiel des Altmeisters ist da unzweifelhaft viiiiel höher zu bewerten ! Das ganze Moskauer Konzert ist einfach nur schön, rührt mich zu Tränen, und ist ein großartiges Stück Musik-und Zeitgeschichte. p.s.: ich würde mir für TH-cam wünschen, das die vielen dislikes-Pfeifen GEBLOCKT werden könnten... Bei einem PERFEKTEN Video wie hier es einfach keine negativen Bewertungen geben dürfte (!), b.z.w. TH-cam sie einfach auch nicht ZULASSEN sollte!!! Thanks to all the positive and good coments, B.L.
It seems that Russian audience understands the German romantic soul of Robert Schumann and it remembers the tragic relationship between Russia and Germany for more than a century!🇩🇪🥂🇷🇺
Ich habe gehört, dass Radio Moskau Träumerei fast gleich nach Erkundigung von der Ende des zweiten Weltkrieg gespielt hat. Es musste eine große Wirkung an die Leuten haben, spiegelnden ihre Gefühle von Erleichterung und unfassbare Tragödie, weil man eine Choir Version von Träumerei ständig an die wichtigsten Denkmäler spielt
His interpretation is very lovely in its own way. On first listen, I had a few disagreements with how he was playing it, yet by the end of the piece I nearly had a tear in my eye despite myself. Touched me subconsciously, I suppose.
This is the first time that I've watched this master pianist and heard his interpretation of this piece. I have played it for many years but never with the emotion and dreamlike quality he gives it.
Horowitz seemed to have been searching much of his life for the perfect Traumerei. Fortunately, many performances exist and are available for all to hear. They are each, very different from any other, as Horowitz's quest was guided by his unparalleled ability to find an endless number of new ideas. Since I first heard this from Moscow (the concert was broadcast live on TV here in the USA) this was my favorite and has remained so. It is so deep in its stillness, its quietude, so constant in its spontaneity and so delicately expressive with the use of a seemingly endless number of subtle rubatos. It holds one in a sustained sense of wonder that only Horowitz could create.
When I was a teen, my piano skill set was not a big deal to me and never really thought of music as something this profound. Then, I saw this recital on DVD back when TH-cam was not yet a thing. I then realized what an enormous gift it is to be a musician. I looked at my hands and realized, as I practice, I am befriending these great composers from the grave and what is it that they know that I feel so profoundly. Why do I feel this depth of beauty? I felt like I was in communion with the universe in this desire of great beauty. This was one of those pieces that turned me around to truly understanding what art is all about. It was not an emotional experience, but, as Rodin puts it, it was truth revealing itself.
jillgivler, I saw your comment about Brahms waltz in A flat major. The same tearful feeling it gives me. I connect it with some melancholy film, but cannot remember the title. The music is very beautiful and moving. But NOTHING beats this wonderfully played "Träumerei"!!
So, so gentle and so beautiful! I'm learning to play this piece at the moment and I hope that one day I can infuse at least a fraction of this emotion into the playing of it.
gorokhovtseva those tears are sincere. those are tears of people who remember when WWII ended and this piece was played over the Russian airwave. Those are true tears of rememberance of those who never made it to the end of the war.
Horowitz's return to Moscow is enough to invoke an awe inspired feeling in light fleeing himself. Additionally ,the piece, and its significance as poignantly described by Doubleklunk, sends me into a deep burst of emotional appreciation
So exquisitly beautifull, it brings me down to my knees and to an unquenshing overflow of tears and peaceful joy. Thank you Maestro, where ever you may be.
Its true, there are some fantastic pianists nowadays, but they're not known at all. People are trying to commercialize pianists too much nowadays. Too much of this "prodigy" bollocks and talk about how much "potential" they might have. I think people should be more concerned with pianists who've reached their potential.
I can't stop crying every time I listen to Horowitz's Troimerai. In his final performance and pyojing, which he returns to his hometown in his later years, there is an indescribable sense of sadness and sadness. His performance is more like a god.
Hey, can someone tell me what the name of the piece is that is played in the movie Horowitz in Moscow when they are filming Moscow at the beginning? Horowitz also plays it in front of some people in a small room during the movie at some point, cheers
I recently read a comment on some video about a young new asian pianist: "it is easy and weak to critisize new pianists, just name an older master and state that he was better." despite the ignorance of the writer of this comment, he did, without knowing it, make a point that undermines his own thoughts. Horowitz was, and will forever be the best pianist of modern age, and I prefer his beautiful playing over all other pianists. even now when he is somewhere up above. DonFrankos.
Do anybody know whether the note at 2:17 is intentional? At first I thought it was a mistake, but after hearing it over and over, it sounds really good if not natural. Also one of his recording has that same note too.
"Menschen die träumen, wie Drachen im Wind - von Freiheit - zerreißen das Band, das sie hält. Dem Schicksal ergeben, sie vertrau'n wie ein Kind - der Liebe - gehalten von Gott, der sie kennt. "th-cam.com/video/XQsGTt3Q7Ng/w-d-xo.html
This is the life you were given. Our view of the past is heavily filtered. People were just as stupid back then. Today, as an individual, you have greater access to knowledge, and more options to build a life that's worth living. But that's also a big responsibility, and not an easy path. This century has amazing artists. And through science we've learned that we live in a universe far vaster and more complex than we ever could have imagined just a short while ago. Yet it may also make us feel smaller and more alone than ever, yearning for connection, to one another, and to The One, somewhere out there, or somewhere within.
What a gift to listen to this genius play and make the years of war and pain dissolve into "...Dreams." No wonder the audience was a respectful, silent throng who realized they were witnessing the performance of a lifetime. There has never been a finer "Traumerei."
Danke "volowitz" für's Einstellen! Einer der berührendsten Klavierabende des 20. Jahrhunderts (zumindest in diesem Ausschnitt) - und hier zeigt sich die Größe von Horowitz' Genialität: das scheinbar Einfache scheinbar ganz natürlich gespielt - und immer voller spontaner Musikalität ...

こんにちは。 はじめまして。 私の記憶が確かなら、この演奏はアンコール曲で、ホロヴィッツが何十年ぶりかに祖国を訪れた時のものです。 聴衆の皆さんが涙を浮かべられているのも、演奏の素晴らしさもさることながら、この曲を通じて祖国を忘れてはいなかった、ピアニストとして成功するには、祖国を離れなければならなかった、という悲しいメッセージも感じとったからなのかもしれませんね・・・

jillgivler, I saw your comment about Brahms waltz in A flat major. The same tearful feeling it gives me. I connect it with some melancholy film, but cannot remember the title. The music is very beautiful and moving. But NOTHING beats this wonderfully played "Träumerei"!!
So, so gentle and so beautiful! I'm learning to play this piece at the moment and I hope that one day I can infuse at least a fraction of this emotion into the playing of it.
gorokhovtseva those tears are sincere. those are tears of people who remember when WWII ended and this piece was played over the Russian airwave. Those are true tears of rememberance of those who never made it to the end of the war.
i have seen this dozens of times. And then I watch again. So grateful for this video.
Horowitz didn't touch the keys, he caressed them! THE BEST!
This piece is already so touching but seeing how everyone is listening with bated breath makes this recording that much more profound. Really lovely.
One of the most beautifull thing i ever heard. Thank you.
The greatest pianist who ever lived.
One of my favorite classicals of all time. I'd never get tired listening to it over and over. Thanks for posting.
Horowitz's return to Moscow is enough to invoke an awe inspired feeling in light fleeing himself. Additionally ,the piece, and its significance as poignantly described by Doubleklunk, sends me into a deep burst of emotional appreciation
Bravo, great playing by an old master.
Time just stopped, as I watched this.
I am humbled just by listening. A man without measure.
Holy Smoke!!! one of the oldest youtube videos!
Beautifully preformed!
So exquisitly beautifull, it brings me down to my knees and to an unquenshing overflow of tears and peaceful joy. Thank you Maestro, where ever you may be.
Each time I hear certain pieces of Schumann-such as this -I think of his sad death and tears come to my eyes.
GOD bless you!
Thank you Maria: I reciprocate your kind comment.
Best etc. Bruce @@bosareva
Its true, there are some fantastic pianists nowadays, but they're not known at all. People are trying to commercialize pianists too much nowadays. Too much of this "prodigy" bollocks and talk about how much "potential" they might have. I think people should be more concerned with pianists who've reached their potential.
I can't stop crying every time I listen to Horowitz's Troimerai. In his final performance and pyojing, which he returns to his hometown in his later years, there is an indescribable sense of sadness and sadness. His performance is more like a god.
Hey, can someone tell me what the name of the piece is that is played in the movie Horowitz in Moscow when they are filming Moscow at the beginning? Horowitz also plays it in front of some people in a small room during the movie at some point, cheers
I recently read a comment on some video about a young new asian pianist:
"it is easy and weak to critisize new pianists, just name an older master and state that he was better."
despite the ignorance of the writer of this comment, he did, without knowing it, make a point that undermines his own thoughts.
Horowitz was, and will forever be the best pianist of modern age, and I prefer his beautiful playing over all other pianists. even now when he is somewhere up above.

This is the best thing I have heard. Probably I won't hear anything better in future. No exaggeration.
Very true. No one goes to a concert specifically to be bored. This is respect. Some people just don't get it.
Do anybody know whether the note at 2:17 is intentional? At first I thought it was a mistake, but after hearing it over and over, it sounds really good if not natural. Also one of his recording has that same note too.
"Menschen die träumen, wie Drachen im Wind - von Freiheit - zerreißen das Band, das sie hält.
Dem Schicksal ergeben, sie vertrau'n wie ein Kind - der Liebe - gehalten von Gott, der sie kennt. "th-cam.com/video/XQsGTt3Q7Ng/w-d-xo.html
Was ist das?
I feel like l live in the wrong century.
Le wrong generation
u are living in the best generation because u can listen it for free and downloads the notes for free xddd
This is the life you were given. Our view of the past is heavily filtered. People were just as stupid back then. Today, as an individual, you have greater access to knowledge, and more options to build a life that's worth living. But that's also a big responsibility, and not an easy path. This century has amazing artists. And through science we've learned that we live in a universe far vaster and more complex than we ever could have imagined just a short while ago. Yet it may also make us feel smaller and more alone than ever, yearning for connection, to one another, and to The One, somewhere out there, or somewhere within.
What a gift to listen to this genius play and make the years of war and pain dissolve into "...Dreams."
No wonder the audience was a respectful, silent throng who realized they were witnessing the performance of a lifetime.
There has never been a finer "Traumerei."
Danke "volowitz" für's Einstellen! Einer der berührendsten Klavierabende des 20. Jahrhunderts (zumindest in diesem Ausschnitt) - und hier zeigt sich die Größe von Horowitz' Genialität: das scheinbar Einfache scheinbar ganz natürlich gespielt - und immer voller spontaner Musikalität ...
This is who was kissed by God
