I heard him play this live and it was the single greatest musical experience of my life. I’ll never forget the sound of the first C sharp at the beginning - almost rose out of my seat with it.
You are so lucky to have had that experience!! I was too young, never had the opportunity to see him live. And picking THAT piece.. unbelievably great ❤️
Playing like this doesn't come with practice, but with a deep, powerful and sensitive experience in understanding the music you are playing under your fingers. It doesn't come with hours of repetitions, but rather with years of listening
sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Tatum Axton i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
would make for a great painting. Some of them were languidly relishing the performance and many of them were thinking of things that happened to them and their friends in their lives. That's the power of this music.
I love it too. It's a historic shot- this was Horowitz's first return to the USSR since he was 22, and tickets to this concert were reserved for the elite. These are Moscow Conservatory students who crashed the concert without tickets.
Scriabin aveva 16 anni quando scrisse questo piccolo grande capolavoro. Mi chiedo come si possa avere tale profondità a quell’età...Horowitz ebbe il privilegio di suonare di fronte a lui da giovane ed in seguito a chi gli chiese come fosse stato, lui rispose con un semplice: “era matto Scriabin”! In ogni modo il matto profetizzò la brillante carriera del pianista. Il bello di RUclips e’ poter ascoltare in libertà e cercare di capire in autonomia. Non sono e non pretendo di essere un critico musicale, ma questa esecuzione e’ per me magnifica: Horowitz si conferma il maestro assoluto delle intenzioni. Per tre volte di fila una scala ascendente di 5 note non porta al naturale crescendo, ma ad un diminuendo. Non si va in alto, ma dentro, in profondità. L’ho sentito fare da Rachmaninov sulle proprie composizioni: si intendevano benissimo i due! E poi le intuizioni benedette: cantare con il tenore nel pianissimo...trasformare uno studio quasi in un lieder dove soprano e tenore si rispondono sottovoce. Il pianissimo a dita distese. Che dire: ho sentito Richter, Gilels: il suono perlato e magnifico non regge il confronto del racconto di Horowitz. Personalissimo e inimitabile. Cosa darei per tornare indietro nel tempo ed ascoltarlo dal vivo!
Absolutely love how he gives space to all the voices and countermelodies one at a time, the bass voice included. The suspensions of the main melody he plays soft instead of accentuating them with more volume (at least in the beginning) - and that's how he makes them stand out. At the very end he brings out the bass line beautifully (starting with C#/B).
This sounds so easy until you get into the piece with its continual "rise" and all those inner melodies and accentuated notes. Truly a "Russian" composition performed flawlessly.
And even if you cannot achieve any of that it's still an amazing piece of music with greater emotional meaning for me than probably anything else I've heard in a long while
@@chrisy367 When Horowitz in Moscow, in 1986 for this recital, he visited Scriabin's old house and met Scriabin's daughter. You can find the clip on youtube.
Perfection - Horowitz builds this enchanting work of art with his phrasing and total control of his emotions, this is as beautiful a performance as I have ever seen of any pianist, I’m dumbfounded by its beauty.....
He takes such great care with this piece as he always does and so evokes all kind of emotion from us al! Just wonderful. Can't get enough of this performance and one of my favorite pieces!
Ann Singer he often asserts his ego into many of Scriabin's pieces (see op 32 no 1, op 42 no 5). Sofronitsky or richter do a better job capturing the essence of the piece as intended.
When you listen to a recording of Horowitz, you learn a lot of things about the piece played... You suddenly understand everything about the shades, the contrasts, the different voices... Later on you go back to lang lang... and you understand what is the technique... But you forget what is the musicality and the sophistication straightaway.
I find with Horowitz playing Scriabin such a unique touch and color. Some passages are bright vibrant almost overwhelming, and some as though he has dipped the minutest amount of watercolour on canvas. Breathtaking. And I agree with you on Lang Lang.
comparing horowitz to lang alng i find it superior , you may as well listen to horowitz recording of rachmaninoff piano concertos to understand what i am talking about , or even his famous interpretation of liszt 2nd hungarian rhapsody , lang lang may have a good technique , even a great one but saying he's superior to horowitz is inaccurate at least for me, even rubinstein praised horowitz's technique and said that he would dream to be as technically powerful as him
Hi Lang Lang himself in one of his interviews with Chinese audience said Horowitz is THE GREATEST pianist since the piano recording was available(the host mentioned a few to Lang Lang but he was very clear without any hesitation in saying that). He actually mentioned this legendary Horowitz's last performance in Moscow and described how much he was moved when he saw a person crying when Horowitz played Schumann's Traumerei. Lang Lang is a young and talented pianist and his musicianship is still evolving and growing. I would not dispute Horowitz's status as one of the greatest pianists, especially his performance in Rachmaninoff Concertos(No. 3 in my personal opinion is the greatest ever). But on the other hand, I feel maybe we should also put Lang Lang on a fairground without dismissing the potential he has and the credit for what he has achieved in inspiring the younger generations of pianists and audience around the world. I agree that there are many pieces Lang Lang has not yet achieved the level of artistic performances by those greatest pianists such as Horowitz(indeed, he himself agrees with that in the interview, and he hopes he could fulfill his dream someday to reach the level of artistry by Horowitz, Glenn Gould etc). That said, I also feel, in the meantime, there are many pieces which Lang Lang's performance has inspired a new way and insight to re-appreciate the beauty and spirit of those immortal works. Afterall, if we want the classic music, piano in particular, to continue to grow, probably we should be a bit more patient to allow ourselves to pay attention to the efforts by those young pianists to inspire and reinvigorate the youths to appreciate the classic music in an age when it is difficult for people to have the patience to do so.
Почти 20 лет назад играла это произведение. От услышанного исполнения аж слёзы наворачиваются. Время неумолимо быстро бежит,воруя нашу юность,молодость.
I realize you wrote this three years ago so by now you must play it very well. Anyway I'm learning it now and every time I play it I think of my father who passed at 89 and it brings out the sad feelings of loss. The tears are thereputic when accompanied by this piece.
@@sylvestercoffee7212 Here I am playing it. completely inspired by this interpretation of course. It signifies loss to me too. ruclips.net/video/TLDohNwT2EU/видео.html
Somehow Horowitz brings something beyond the page that other pianists don’t. He understands the depth underneath the notes and makes them more somehow. Alive. Or some such.

Not quite. The lady on the right is Scriabin's daughter. Not sure who the one on the left is. Most outstanding and expressive interpretation of this piece ever.
Horowitz played this for Scriabin's own family in Scriabin's own home and on his piano also. And if Scriabin's family adored him then I think that speaks volumes of the man and his music :)
Russian people suffered so much during WWII..WHen I hear this music, that's what I fell..Maybe I'm Russian deep inside me, though I'm not Russian citizen..I feel all the pain the Soviet soldiers endured and of civilians too. What the Nazis did to them..Stalingrad, Kurks, etc...
Deeply beautiful and maybe knowing?? Go from here Vers la Flamme when Scriabin was close to death in his 30’s. A wide chasm of expressions and thoughts.
Scriabin's daughter was in the audience and you see her in the footage. She invited Volodya and his wife to her home and they recorded Horowitz playing Scriabin's piano, playing this piece
This guy. First and foremost. Had a stroke. So to say that paralysis restricts an individual from ever performing again is really hard to say. He was 82 on stage, recovering paralysed stroke victim still playing. Miracles can happen, no matter how crass crude or psychopathic the world truly can be.

1:07 could be the best audience shot ever caught on a camera at a music concert! Love it! :)))
I feel like some of them was sleeping 😂

@ 1:14, when the young man on the right looks directly at the camera: what a fantastic still picture to capture!
I love it too. It's a historic shot- this was Horowitz's first return to the USSR since he was 22, and tickets to this concert were reserved for the elite. These are Moscow Conservatory students who crashed the concert without tickets.

When asked him (Horowitz) who his favourite pianist was, he said if I had to pick up a Russian one I’d choose Richter.
That touch...that touch... it is beyond words...
Incredible, I've never heard this piece played in a deeper and clearer way than here. Wish I was there when he gave the concert.
That shot at 1:06 is amazing. Such a variety of emotions
The voicing on this is otherworldly.
Absolutely love how he gives space to all the voices and countermelodies one at a time, the bass voice included. The suspensions of the main melody he plays soft instead of accentuating them with more volume (at least in the beginning) - and that's how he makes them stand out. At the very end he brings out the bass line beautifully (starting with C#/B).
I must have listened to this a hundred times now. Never tire of his wonderful playing and tremendous expression. Wish I could have been there.
The emotion. No one was better than Horowitz.
This sounds so easy until you get into the piece with its continual "rise" and all those inner melodies and accentuated notes. Truly a "Russian" composition performed flawlessly.
Definitely
Totally agree, the inner melody is quite difficult but the continual rise is near impossible to get down
And even if you cannot achieve any of that it's still an amazing piece of music with greater emotional meaning for me than probably anything else I've heard in a long while
Unbelievably poetic and deeply intellectual playing..Horowitz was the best, may he rest in peace...
0:58 The lady on the right is Scriabin's daughter. How amazing is that!?
and she was deeply moved! its very awesome.
Are you sure? Scriabin's daughter died at like 40 i think and that lady looks way older

Yes. He played Scriabin’s piano.

Wonderfully expressive, about the best interpreter of Scriabin.

Horowitz played for Scriabin as a small child.
Magnifique interprétation pour cette pièce composée par Scriabin en 1889 alors qu'il n'avait que 17 ans! quel génie!
This kind of music & performance will either break your heart, or set you up for life, anything that life throws at you. Probably both.
The finality of all things is contained in the last notes of this etude...
So beautifully played. He brings it to life
Te unge la suflet scriabin compozitorul si horowitz pianistul va iubesc din toata inima mea
An early work by Scriabin; already you hear the heart and soul that would go on to fill his entire oeuvre.
Il più bel pubblico (vero e sincero, autentico) mai visto...
beautifully done, love the focus of the people listening
Such astonishingly instant albeit perfect dynamic control is a sign of all time greatness.
i'm not a big fan of Horowitz, but this interpretation makes me love him
Exactly my thoughts.
He captured the full arc and development of the universe in this piece
Sensitive , intuitive interpretation of the composition. Such a joy to listen to!
Гениально сыграно произведение русского гения Скрябина 👏👏👏
Счастливые люди... Слышать это вживую!
This is breathtaking...
Each and every iota of passion the music contains in expressed through the fingertips of this genius.
My favorite ❤️ Thank you Horowitz
Horowitz played this for Scriabin's own family in Scriabin's own home and on his piano also. And if Scriabin's family adored him then I think that speaks volumes of the man and his music :)
Scriabin's daughter is in the audience at 0:59
you can review the entire history of mankind with this immortal theme
commoventissimo
Какое счастье было слышать такую гениальную игру живьём!
deux génies...SCRIABINE et HOROWITZ
Bravo, bravo! A thousand times bravo!!!
Big respect
Гениально!!
wonderful...!
Sin duda es pura música, Su expresividad es profunda y te da un movimiento constante. Hermoso

Looks like a scene from a 1990s sitcom
How can you voice that well on the piano ? Someone called it "otherworldly" - can't agree more
За ЭТО можно ВСЁ отдать!
The best interpretation!!
Very powerful, very deep...
Very good!
Meravigliosa-
PerFeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecttttttttt!!!!!
No Word can come
Like when i watch the world
Sitting in silence
With Jesus eyes
Its not often when you can actually hear the composer playing their own song
I’ve played this before and my playing isn’t bad but this makes it look really mediocre. Horowitz is amazing.
Increible horowitz eres magico los pelos de punta ojala tocara yo el estudio como tu
Идеальное исполнение, недостижимая высота
Magic
Deeply beautiful and maybe knowing?? Go from here Vers la Flamme when Scriabin was close to death in his 30’s. A wide chasm of expressions and thoughts.
Une interpretation unique et inégalable
Fascinating how he plays like that but barely moves his fingers
that nose blow at the end tho
at the 0:59 mark are the sisters of Scriabin
Richard James Mendoza Thanks for that !
They are his daughters, Maria (on the left) and Elena (on the right)
one of them is asleep
Очень красиво!
not sister, but daughter :-)
genius ...
There is only one master of all masters of the piano and it is HOROWITZ...touched by GOD...in a musical class by himself

Scriabin on another level.
tout le public est en transe avec lui, quelle interprétation sublime et quel bel hommage à la culture russe et à ses origines
Howww does he do it this amazingly when he looks like he's bored!
+Nou Good point. Did we not all forget a bit that it's about how it sounds, not how it looks? And the cameraman seem to share that point...
Because he was from an era where pianism and acting didn't coincide.
I think he's lost in the music, he might be very sad, not bored... Who knows? Not everyone expresses things the same way
@@TwelfthRoot2 did you ever touch a piano?
