Some of the most electrifying piano playing on record. Not for faint-hearted, nor for puritans. But true Lisztians would enjoy immensely these performances and arrangements.
Потрясающе! Так может играть только ГЕНИЙ! В Рапсодиях передать краски ,характерные черты венгерских танцев! Все технически БЛЕСТЯЩЕ, В СОВЕРШЕНСТВЕ ВЛАДЕЕТ ЗВУКОМ--ЖИВЫМ ЗВУКОМ!!!
At five minutes comes the music Tom Lehrer used for “Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky” and it’s even funnier in Horowitz’s hands than “and den I write, by mornink, night, and efternoon, and pretty soon . . . “ in Lehrer’s!
Thanks to this video, I have now realized for the first time how amazing Horowitz is. All the recordings I had heard before seemed lacking compared to his reputation, but this performance is convincing.
