Customer Reviews Horowitz Plays again in public for first time in 12 years The Horowitz technique is unparalleled, and you must hear him play in front of an audience after 12 years. This is a MUST for all Horowitz fans. I think it is one of his best performances -- maybe because I like the way he played things I've heard at other Horowitz performances. But, I like all of his music, and a new performance of the same piece is a little different than others -- but all very interesting. . A historical legacy! The special distinction around this album is the fresh inspiration and notable musicality emanated in this Recital, that deserves to be catalogued as a cult recording among the impressive and even excellent live recordings in the Sixties. Despite I am not a Horowitz admirer, it 's worthy to underline and emphasize the colossal pianism and thunderous fingering around every one of its different performances. A bravura performance and a genuine expression make of this album a very special recommendation. . Masterpieces played by the great Horowitz With a huge audience, Horowitz did not disappoint. This Carnegie Hall return recital is one of the greatest recordings by Horowitz. He plays the Bach/Busoni as only he can play; it is eternally beautiful. Schumann has some mistakes, but those mistakes make the playing even more fascinating. The Scriabin is also excellent. I am confident in saying that Horowitz's mazurka here is the best recording of op. 30 no. 4. Horowitz takes his time and does not rush the tempo, which is soooo easy to do with this piece. The etude is played awesomely, but the real treat is the Ballade no. 1. Horowitz played this piece all his life and played it very different many times, but this ballade is the best, most musical he ever played, mistakes and all. The encores are also a treat, and the complete Kinderszenen bonus is another reason to buy this cd. The bonus dvd contains Liszt's Au Bord D'une Source, Chopin's Black key etude, and Moszkowski's etude in f major, op. 72, no. 6. This cd is my favorite, and I have a lot. .
