Just for fun, I posted Josef Hofmann playing Chopin's D Flat Nocturne in the files section, for anyone who has never heard him. (As you know, he and Horowitz...
I second Derek's comment on Hoffman. I also want to put in a plug for Marston. (No connection here either.) I have several of his releases and couldn't be...

Yes, Pletnev plays the score rather approximately (especially some of the 2nd half) and doesn't treat it to the reverence that Gavrilov and Berezovsky bestow...
I have the video footage on my computer for Horowitz's perfomance of the Rach3 1978. The video is upside down, so i had to turn my monitor upside down, did...
Never heard of a left handed piano, but it sounds like something affected the video somewhere between the original and when it arrived on your computer....
Sounds like the video image was altered somehow. A prankster perhaps? I have never heard of a left handed piano, and I'm left handed. Could you elaborate on...
I can't really see the video being altered, and cant really see it being some form of a prank, but yes there are left handed pianos, people do have them...
Dear Joe There is a custom-made left hand piano in existence. I think the pianist who had it made played it in a recital either at the Wigmore hall or St...
I once played on a synthesizer that a friend was demonstrating for me, he switched, or inverted, the notes so that the tones came out ascending as I played...
This piano was juiced up A LOT acording to Franz, who said to me that he tried to talk Horowitz out of it. The orchestra was a bit too much and the instrument...

I will check, but I believe that Mohr was referring to the Ormandy performance regarding the juiced up piano. By the September concert with Mehta (which was...
Mark, Do let me know what Franz says to you regarding this. That is what he told me in out conversation and I can not recall if he was talking about the...
In order to be clear -- there is no video of the Ormandy performance. I like everyone else own the audio recording. To be sure, Franz Mohr's memory is not...
I thought someone here mentioned that there was a bootleg video of it. However, although Franz did say that Horowitz would not stop demanding more brightness...
