Horowitz In Moscow - 1986
Vladimir Horowitz (piano)
[ Deutsche Grammophon The Originals / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 22 April 2016
One of the most famous piano recitals of all time - given by the 82-year old Vladimir Horowitz, returning to his homeland of Russia after more than 60 years - now reappears for the first time at mid-price, specially re-released to mark the 30th anniversary of the April 1986 concert.
"Few have conjured from a piano such a palette of tonal colours with such convincing imagery and musical imagination as Horowitz does in this recital. The Mozart is witty and playful and if his Schubert and Chopin are, for my taste, somewhat fussy, with some Liszt, Rachmaninov and Scriabin he is on home territory. This is the real thing." Gramophone
"The recording […] shows a master at work, a musician, a performer, sharing his enthusiasm for Scarlatti, Mozart, Rachmaninov, Chopin and others. Sparkling fingerwork, beautiful piano sound, commanding phrasing" MusicWeek
