does anyone have this recording (and can put it on rapidshare?) "Horowitz Live at the Hollywood Bowl 1949 ": Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 in B-flat minor,...
What is so different after 1936? I have read this before but haven't found clear evidence in his recordings. Can somebody explain? Listening to his Brahms#2...
I have posted two separate documents in the Files section -- detailing Horowitz's Columbia recording sessions from 1962 to 1966, and from 1967 to 1976. They...
i'd forgotten, but horowitz "preluded" in vienna in 1987, too - see 1:08-1:19 of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uhZMksYdK4 [ he modulates from DMaj to...
... I am afraid you are mistaken - the earliest recording of the Brahms 2nd Concerto is from 1939. The Brahms 1st concerto was recorded in 1935 (and he dropped...
You are right, it was the d-minor concert in 1935! But the question was whether his 3 year break (1936-39) really reveals the onset of a crisis which has...
... Well, I see where you are getting at, but I think the early Horowitz is a better musician. There no mannerisms, and the playing is elegant. There are...
Do you think he would be called a great musician twenty or thirty years later if he had never changed, playing things always the same way because he was so...
... I love late Horowitz too - the Schumann Fantasy from 1965 - 3rd movement is the most beautiful sound anyone produced form the piano. Still, I would die to...

I have to agree with Charles here. Listen to in house recordings made through out the 60s, 70s, 80s - hear him play the Rach 2nd Sonata, Liszt Valee, Scriabin...
I think every period of Horowitz' career is extraordinary. The only period that left me cold was when he was on psychiatric drugs. And the world of classical...
... equal ... mean ... qualify ... source for ... Horowitz is legendary only until 1936. Enough said. Not his fault - its America's. Richter said America...
trumofo, seriously...you're way off-base here. i think that you're trying to trick somebody into posting an insane rec that you don't have barny0948...
Let's burry the dispute here though it revealed some interesting perception about the role of art its performing genius, to be continued elsewhere. Barny ... ...
... I'm sorry, but what perceptions are you referring to. As I see it, some Russian teenager - well, some of Mr Mkaykov's immature statements lead me to...
As reluctant as I have been to dignify this fray by joining in, since the content has turned to pointing out exceptional performances that illustrate ...
... trying to trick somebody into posting an insane rec that you don't have ... Nope, I genuinely think that. Besides, I do not care for any Horowitz recz...
Ok guys, looks like I've caused a lot of controversy by sharing my opinion in a vulgar manner. My apologies to those that were offended. I will continue to...
