¡Vladimir Horowitz At Carnegie Hall - The Private Collection: Schumann. Chopin. Liszt & Balakirev
¡Vladimir Horowitz (piano)
Description
[Machine Translation] Horowitz at the height of his virtuosity in the "Islamey" --- is this the work of God or the devil? This is the second volume of Horowitz's treasured live recordings, filled with the excitement and emotion that can only be heard when Horowitz is at the peak of his powers. Like VOL.1 released at the same time, this second volume contains 5 selected live recordings from the archives of Yale University. Among them, Balakirev ("Islamey") and Liszt ("St. Francis of Paola Walking on Water") are the first recordings of Horowitz's performances to be released on disc, and are truly historic. This is the first time that Horowitz's performances have been made available on vinyl, and it is a rare recording that should be called a world heritage of sound. Chopin's (Fantasie) is also a repertoire that Horowitz did not make an official recording of during his lifetime. The former is a live performance of the so-called "Historic Return" in 1965 (Sony Classical), and the latter is a studio recording made in 1957 and a live recording made in 1980 (both by RCA). The brilliance of Horowitz's pianism in the 1940s and 1950s is unmistakable. Recordings: April 8, 1946; January 23, 1950; April 28, 1947; February 3, 1947 Carnegie Hall, New York
