Horowitz in Moscow - State Tchaikovsky Conservatory 1986 - Remastered

His low wrist technique enables him play with long fingernails that do not come into contact with the keys, while Alfred Brendel's high wrist technique means he has to put sticking plasters on his finger tips to prevent his nails clacking on the keys.

Я обратил внимание на публику в зале.Какие одухотворенные лица!А теперь,почти 40 лет спустя, их дети радостно гогочут,услышав о бомбежках Украины.Как же так???

Der Mann war genial und konnte mit jeder Musik überzeugen!

Ein Spiel ohne gr.Pathos, einfach wunderbar und berührend! Schön, dass es Aufnahmen gibt, damit auch die Nachwelt ihn genießen kann🎹🎶🎵

На этом историческом концерте был лично. Абсолютный восторг!

❤❤❤😢

Go for it babe. Grow, and.... growing in the true depths of your own individual... god-born talents is to recognize that some part of the universe is living through us. too. Right? Right. So, what do we do now? 2023 A.D. Blessings where ever you are... in time or space. Charles. Hollywood, USA.

Thanks for the HD upload.

Как он приласкал рояль, которого называл " малышом"

The zenith of pianism!

Эта эпоха слушателя.... тоже ушла... То, что мы видим и слышим сейчас, уникальное явление! Друзья, кто понимает о чем я, пожалуйста, отзовитесь, милые, духовные люди! ❤

Ознакомившись с биографией исполнителя, понимаю КАКОГО МАСШТАБА БЫЛ ЭТОТ КОНЦЕРТ! Какое счастье, мне 34 - летней дуре, слышать ЭТО!!! Вы только посмотрите на мимику, на глаза слушателей! Мёртвая тишина в зале! Я счастлива, хоть и не вживую, но в записи ( спасибо интернету) слышать эту великую музыку в гениальном исполнении! Это история! Это событие!
Царствия Небесного гениальному пианисту!!!!

God, Horowitz is God of Piano

Genius. Nimble fingers for such an old age

could somebody please help me identify the composers depicted in the walls? I can't find that list anywhere online

Il Dio del pianoforte

His 'Traumerei ' is worth the entire concert. Musical genius and unerring taste. I have watched this countless times and every time I end up in tears. He was in a musical universe if his own. I am just eternally grateful that I lived at a time to hear him.

Perfect

Perfect

J’ai toujours ressenti une véritable passion pour ce génial pianiste….et j’adore comme il « flatte » son piano en arrivant, je fais la même chose avec ma jument quand je la retrouve ❤

For me, his playing is so tender and sensitive. I always revert to a Horowitz performance wondering how he would have interpreted a piece. He took music to a heavenly level, a level of perfection and musicality matched by no other.

Didn't he play the the polka by Rachmaninov?

The gold standard of Tone Poets of the Piano....

I well remember the broadcast of this concert the following day on Italian state television. The historical character of this concert was very clear.
This was Gorbachev's Russia, not of that Putin's pig troglodyte!

great video

This is not complete video

Thank you for the upload. Wasn't Horowitz also playing Schumann's Traumerei in this infamous recital as well?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

One of the most recognizable and ideosynchratic pianists recorded, and in his later years one of the most tender. If he didn’t any longer have the old energy, endurance and brimstone, he still had most dynamic control and touch of any pianist alive IMO. He took liberties with composers, but it often worked, and when it didn’t, we’ll, he was always looking for new and different insights. You could forgive him. He was so “Old World!”

Deutsche grammophone did the recording, their best engineers! Cd is still available used I have the laserdisc of this too. so glad Digital recordings began in the late 70s, they capture his virtuosity.

amazing horowitz, chapeau to camera man, great job!

Wonderful Upload !

Thank you for this wonderful upload. This historic recital and his later Viennese one are two wonderful examples of how this amazing artist had matured rather like a great vintage wine.

Horowitz married Toscanini' daughter ...Legends of music
