Horowitz was always engagingly modest about his extraordinary talent and amazing pianistic abilities. His formidable yet adoring wife was his anchor during the various difficult and stressful periods of his life. In many ways he was a highly sensitive and emotionally complex individual, BUT what unbridled joy and excitement this unique artist brought to his public!.
@@renzo6490 I don't think anyone would be modest if they've been told that they play better than Rachmaninov or if the entire conservatory jury stands up at the end of the recital, praising their playing.
@@MaScalo4508 My comment was a response to Meredith Foster who wrote: ''Horowitz was always engagingly modest about his extraordinary talent and amazing pianistic abilities.''
Have you seen the documentary "Horowitz at Home?" He describes is boyhood visit to Scriabin and that maestro's wise advice to Horowitz' mother. Many other marvelous moments in the documentary.
I had to stop and have a break after watching his incandescent performance of Vers La Flamme, to play like that at any age s incredible,but in his late 70s or 80s it’s miraculous.
Horowitz always had the kiddish / young at heart personality in his advanced years. Wanting nothing more than just jamming and having fun on the piano.
so brilliant. what absolute command he had over the piano! such a range of emotion he can convey. such respect for each line and note. love the mazurka in this video...almost jazz like.
Gosh, I felt so bad for Wanda, being left alone what with the demise of Volodya. She may have been nails-tough and severe but, she had a soft heart deep-down. No question is there about that to myself. I cannot imagine what would have become of him if not for her care.
That must have been a wonderful experience for Horowitz, returning to the country of his birth to be admired by a crowd of people, among whose equivalent, 50 years earlier, he would not infrequently have been in mortal danger!
astonishing how his fingers work. each of those ten is an organism in itself. dared i try something like that i know i would ruin my fingers pretty fast.
@@lolsup9817 Legend has it that he like to play that for Art Tatum, the legendary jazz pianist. Horowitz admired Tatum's brilliant playing, and vice versa.
I don't think he was in "depression". I think he thought he should perhaps retire. Procrastinating long can make one depressed. Times were changing. The crowd was changing. He is a playful person. Calm, but never boring. "Depression" was a popular word, especially in America. Still is. 35:08 That is so sublime that it is real. Being intimate... it is very good, very wonderful. 46:18 what a lovely lady. I'm glad her dream of hearing him play came to be.
Avete dimenticato Gilels! Pianista ammirato da Horowitz : parlando in un libro Horovitz dice che anche Gilels alcune cose le suonava bene e Gilels era gia' morto ed e' per questo che poi dice che dei pianisti russi mi piace solo Richter,perche' era ancora vivo mentre Gilels era morto anni prima e nonostante tutto Horovitz disse anche Gilels alcune cose le suonava bene!e poi non e' citato il suo amico Serkin cui Horowitz aveva progettato di fare un concerto insieme! E tra gli altri stimava anche firkusny

@@lorenzor.o.6851 It’s very similar to a Chopin piece Nocturnr 2 op 27 I believe the consolation was an homage to chopins, he died the same year it was composed, maybe Liszt liked that particular Chopin piece very highly or he took a sheet of music by Chopin he had at home and begin to compose his own based of it. Who knows but it’s beautiful for sure
Many commentators are mistaken, saying that he is a Russian pianist. Horowitz was born in Ukraine, in Kyiv, and graduated from the Conservatory in Kyiv. He was forced to emigrate precisely because of Russia - his father was imprisoned in the Gulag (soviet concentration camp). It is sad how many people do not know the truth about his origin and tragic fate
@@WieldingHavoc Volodya stated apparently fondly that he was to not "forget your Mother Russia and come back." which much later he did to grand acclaim of there. Pretty explicit that.
She was witchy sometimes, but was the perfect contrast for such crazy genius Horowitz was. And you can see she really loved him and was proud of him....
HOROWITZ WAS A LEGEND IN HIS OWN TIME. BUT TODAY´S PIANISTS FROM RUSSSIA, USA, CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA, ETC. ARE INFINATELY BETTER THAN THE LEVEL OF MUSIC IN HIS TIME. TODAY HE WOULD NEVER COMPETE WITH THE BRILLIANCE OF OUR YOUNGEST MUSICIANS.

Vladimir Horowitz remains the most colorful pianist till today..: his talent had no boundaries …love very much listening to his recordings… 💜💜💜
His ability to bring out a melody….the dynamics…..the crystal clear flurry of notes like jewels. Incredible.
Simply genius with extraordinary charisma and personality!

The greatest giant is no more but he remains a wonderful and unforgettable legend. He was the greatest among all.
Grazie per aver condiviso questo affascinante e commovente documentario. Meraviglioso.
Horowitz' Mazurkas by Chopin were always awesome. He was the best interpreter of this music indeed. 🤍
Wonderful!

You are absolutely correct!

caro RON WALKER che cosa triste che hai detto dopo aver visto questo video stupendo !
2:31 the face he makes😂 What a amazing man he was.
Greatest pianist of the 20th century. Rachmaninoff was a close second, but Horowitz's interpretations were somehow more emotional, more powerful.
one of the greatest classical pianists of all time
Thanks for posting this! Great documentary.

Was he being a jokester with the interviewer at the beginning? He said "I'm 57", but that clip was from 1974 so wouldn't he have been 71?

Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto 1

Bollocks, if anything is the exact opposite. Although competitions and art don’t really belong in the same sentence in my opinion.
Using caps don't make your point more valid, in fact it makes it seem like you are trying too hard to validate your flawed point.
You know nothing about Classic music or piano.
Most overrated pianist ever
Greatest pianist of all time. Shut up, show some respect and most of all study!
What a strange statement!
I can get what you're coming from if you think it's all about playing technically correctly but in terms of musicianship he was incredible and rare
Yeah, Lang Lang is
Since Rachmaninoff loved his playing I guess your opinion doesnt even matter
