I am trying to track down where is the painting by that name that H loved above all others. Any clues? And for those looking for H's videos, I dont mind...
It wasn't easy to find, but the Picasso owned by Horowitz is now in the Bridgestone Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. Marc Levin What videos might you have??...
For years, I have collected and traded for recorded performances of the Liszt sonata in B minor. I currently have over 150 different performances. Back in...
OT response - U Wisconsin released on CD a performance of this work by one of my teachers Howard Karp, which I recommend. Totally unbiased opinion, of course. ...
... Richard, I doubt there was anything special about the piano for this recording - it may even well have been CD 186 that he used for his 1965 comeback. I...
I bet the 'real' sound in the studio was still much better compared to what RCA delivered on record. I never liked the dull piano sound that RCA produced. CBS...
This is clear when one listens to the "Horowitz Rediscovered" discs from a 1975 Carnegie Hall recital that was released for the first time in 2003. If they...
The sound was dreadful -- and it was difficult to know how much of that was due to the microphone placement, and how much to Horowitz's relation, during that...

I think this generalization can be made for many of VH's recordings from the mid 70's on to the early 80's. Horowitz either lost or sacrificed something...
Horowitz used the same piano (CD503) as he used for many of his 1970s recordings. Because Horowitz's live recordings were being edited from performances in...
Somehow I can agree with both of you. When I listened to the 1977 version the first time I though WOW, he still can do it. There was this irrestible sense for...
"Mark" writes with regard to VH's 1970ish performance of the Liszt Sonata: "I believe that Horowitz's achievement in this later performance is testimony to an...

... which resulted in a distorted piano sound. that's one reason i've always found the 1970s commercial scriabin -fifth sonata- sonically more pleasing than...
That was my understanding. Pfeiffer made the differnces between each acoustic environment less obvious, but at the cost of making those recordings brittle and...
I am one of the people who really, really prefer this recording over his early recording, and I must admit that I really like the sound of this recording - I...
Since my recent posting regarding Vladimir Horowitz and his recording of the Liszt sonata, some have written me asking what my favorite "top 10" recordings...
It was interesting not to see in your list the recordings of Cortot and Sofronitsky... The sound quality is, of course, not "hi-fi"... But interpretation - ...

This is a small contribution after many interesting messages on Liszt. The sonata was a little forgotten in the beginning of the twentieth century. Most of the...
The comment below really is blasphemous--and the list of greatest Liszt Sonatas rather comical. I think what touches a nerve of die-hard Horowitzians is the...

I'm surprised to see all of this praise of the 1977 recording. I think it pales in comparison to the 1932 recording. The '32 recording is more disciplined,...
