¡Vladimir Horowitz At Carnegie Hall - The Private Collection: Mussorgsky & Liszt
¡Vladimir Horowitz (piano)
Description
[Machine Translation] The marvelous "Pictures at an Exhibition" and Liszt's "Sonata in B minor" - the greatest live performance of Horowitz at the peak of his career, which no one has ever heard before. In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of his death, the seal is finally broken! Between 1949 and 1950, Horowitz gave live recordings of his recitals at Carnegie Hall at his own expense. These monaural recordings vividly capture the thrilling performances of a master musician at the height of his powers of mind and body. These recordings were donated to Yale University after his death, and selected masterpieces from them are now being released on CD in a three-CD series. This disc contains two recordings, "Pictures at an Exhibition" from 1948 and Liszt's "Sonata in B minor" from 1949. The "Pictures at an Exhibition" is a Horowitz version with bold arrangements throughout, and although there are two recordings from the same period, here we can enjoy the sheer power and groove of the performance. The performance is so masterful that even Liszt was stunned, accompanied by such exuberance that one can only say that the devil himself had taken over in the face of the expectations of the full house audience. Recorded April 2, 1948 and March 21, 1949 at Carnegie Hall, New York
