In 1986, when the Cold War was finally easing, John Birmingham Jr. helped an aging artist return to his homeland. At the age of 83, Vladimir Horowitz was...
Nernoff: Lately I've been taking up the Chopin "Octave" Etude, op 25 #10. Therein lies some interesting technical problems pertinent to this discussion of...
I play this one too! I guess I have, in the past, had to employ some practice techniques to get that middle note melody to stand out from the octaves...
Bill Evans, on the other hand, resembles in his posture and positioning a Vladimir Horowitz, the Russian-born performer more acclaimed than any other in my...

You know, this was my article, and it is a delight to find it on this forum. Thank you, Michael, for posting it. I must say that Perahia knocked my socks off...
Being from Ottawa and now in Virginia, it's good to hear from Ottawa on music. I have never understood the distinction between being musical and being...
I have never understood the ridiculous claim that Cortot had no technique. The fact that he had "magical sound" "a world of colors" or anything else along...
Whooo, I never meant to imply Cortot had no technique cos he obviously had an incredible technique - listen to his early Saint Saens - what I hope I said was...
Yeah I reread my earlier email and it was stupidly worded. I don't know what I meant by "no technique" when I meant "didn't worry about technique if they got...
Glad we are on the same page, Derek! When I read your first email I thought "oooh" I might have inadvertently hurt someone with my response. I am glad to...
I found this rendition of the Heroic Polonaise the most satisfying of the several by Horowitz that I've heard ... more cohesive and integrated than the others....
I would like to read the book about Rosenthal (I have all his piano roll recordings made while he was still in his prime plus his 78 rpm recordings) but sadly...

Cool videos. You really can't beat "Traumerei" and Nancy Reagan falling into a bunch of flowers all in the same clip. Personally, I'd wager she was drinking,...
HI Tom. You are in for a lot of fun and great listening in your search to learn more about Horowitz. However, be forewarned the Plaiskin book is not a...
Hmmm, so many people said, "Plaskin! Plaskin!" and a number of reviews thought Schonberg too forgiving or lenient, so maybe I'll fill in the blanks with...
Howdy folks! Or should I say, 'Doh! Why didn't I think of this years ago?' For those of us too young or otherwise unable to have had the opportunity to watch...

I don't think Schonberg was too lenient. He wasn't all that impressed with VH - his passion was Josef Hofmann, followed by a whole slew of greats like...
