    I'm not the first to make this point, but it bears being made twice. This is probably the best piano recital ever given. It is certainly the best piano recital I've ever watched or attended, and I've attended a lot of them: Horowitz (5 times between '78 and '86), Rubinstein, Michelangeli, Richter, Arrau, Kempff, Pollini, Brendel, Argerich, Gilels, Serkin, and many others. But this one was special, even by Horowitz's exalted standards. Better than Moscow '86, Berlin '86, Carnegie Hall '65, and all the others of which we have documentation. I think he felt inspired by playing in the city of Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, and perhaps felt even a certain extra sense of responsibility. My sense is that in this recital, and in this environment, he is truly at home in the music, truly relaxed, truly at peace at last (a VERY hard-won peace!).

      ​@Mister Horseradish Yes, you're right. He was 83 years old when he played that recital. His work form the 50s is fascinating, and some (such as the Pictures at an Exhibition, the Tchaikovsky Concerto with Szell, the 2-25-53 concert) are among his greatest live recorded performances. But there was an extreme tension about it all, an almost pathological intensity. One can see why the breakdown had to happen. Here, in 1987, all that is in the past (though certainly not forgotten). The grand old master can let the music speak for itself. That overcoming of terrible inner struggles and suffering is a big part of what makes this recital so very great.

    His playing is so virtuoso - just hear this Mozart.... You may learn so much about pianism, listening to Horowitz... His pianissimos, how he uses pedals (periodically una corda, never too much sustain - and that is why music is so clear), how light his left hand and heavy, vocal - right, when he plays melodies, his flawless legato, intonation, various articulation and etc and etc. Oh, this is such a mastery. One of the Greatest pianists ever.

      +Hans-Horst Mueller Thank you for your comment! It's a difficult story) Horowitz was born in Kiev - that is now the capital of present-day Ukraine. But it was still a part of Russian Empire (and later - USSR) at that times. By origin, he was rather a Jew. After 22 he lived in Europe, and after 37 - in USA. So it's difficult to say - Horowitz was a little bit cosmopolite! But it's right that he was born in Russian Empire and was closely connected with Russian piano school.
      I am Russian by myself) So thank you - indeed our, lets say, slavic piano traditions are old and rich!)

      Hello, Edward! There was an anecdote (or may be a true story). "Horowitz was asked, who are the best pianists. He names XX, YY, ZZ. -But what about Rachmaninoff? -Oh, and Rachmaninoff is... [raises his hands to the sky]. =)
      Of course, it's only private impression, but I think Rachmaninoff was the most genius pianist, ever recorded. He was so unique in his musicality and imagery! After have listened Rachmaninoff recordings many years ago, I never heard something like that... May be Lizst was even greater? Unfortunately, we'll never hear him playing.
      But Horowitz is also incredible, and this Vienna concert too...)

    His dynamics, his control over tempo, his pedals, his silences, his clarity, his breathing, his good taste... I never found it with another pianist. Sometimes I got glimpses of it with Clara Haskill (abegg variations) or with Mikael Pletnev (sleeping beauty and others Tchaïkovsky), in the early years of Pogorelich but only I feel i’m hearing music itself when I listen to Horowitz. I know music is not a single entity, it’s relative, but VH somehow brings back the absoluteness of music. I really miss it, the magic, but I keep on looking for a living pianist who would do that, even in his own style.

      I saw Horowitz live in Toronto in 1976 and 1977-the second time in stage seats, looking down at him 20 feet away. Even though he was past his prime, he was still uniquely brilliant. Cherkassky was Josef Hofmann's top student, and used many of the techniques that Hofmann taught him. When I was in the lineup to get Horowitz tickets in 1976, a woman behind me told me that she was at Hofmann's last Toronto appearance, in 1938 - the same performance that overwhelmed the 6 year old Glenn Gould and motivated him to be a concert pianist. Hofmann also inspired a young Artur Rubinstein, around 1898, and a young Horowitz, in 1914, to be concert pianists. Amazing, how the classical musical world has always been so interconnected.

      I really like your perceptions on the layer upon layer of musicians, how one generation gives unto the next. Horowitz was evidently an exceptional man and musician. Though too young to see him perform live, most of the recorded concerts I have seen of him were made when he was well into his sixties, seventies and eighties. Do you think and age experience added to his interpretations? when a piece required passion and energy he found it somehow, even at advanced age, whereas where touch was the predominant need ( as in these Mozart compositions ) age seemed but simply to help his interpretation , even though i cannot compare with his more youthful performances. How those elderly hands got around the keyboard , like a naturally flowing river...

    Sometimes a human being has a gift to give to the world. A gift so great, so extraordinary that it takes immense effort to just be able to give it, a lifetime of effort. But one day, that simple human offers, and in that moment, he is more than just himself, he creates something so great that the whole world can receive it, an eternal and unique gift that will never fade.
    Horowitz gave his gift and made the world richer, with new music, new emotions and nuances that no one had ever heard or felt before.
    I heard and felt those notes for the first time today, and needless to say I am overwhelmed and emotionally shaken (in a good way).
    I am so grateful that this man existed and could give to us all. I hope that many people will hear them too, and that the world remembers and continues to enjoy his gift for ever.

More amazing is that this is near the end of his life when he was a frail old man barely able to walk who even had trouble breathing ....until he sits down at the keyboard and becomes a superman
    Aside from the musical virtuosity, just the physical aspect of his performances are amazing, his endurance and power. Rarely looks tired or worn out and barely even sweats...an ALIEN !

What a treat this must have been for the audience in Vienna that day. RUclips videos such as this make suffering from insomnia far more bearable. I remember seeing a programme about Horowitz on TV some years ago where he plays the famous Chopin Polonaise twice at the end of a recital because he is unhappy with his first rendition. He really engaged with his audience and comes across as a charming, generous man. Always moving to hear the Schubert Impromptu Op 90 no 3 D899, we played this at my Mum's funeral, a recording by Alfred Brendel.

      If we close our eyes… then we can’t watch his hands! He had such a cool style of playing, and I agree with the comment above that watching most new piano players, some of their exaggerated movements kind of detract from the performance, making it a bit to theatrical, when the important part is to let the music speak. That’s not to say that I can fault them as I can imagine that they get carried away with the emotion of the tune. But some of them are a little over the top. Horowitz has an elegance all to his own, a grace that I haven’t seen with anyone else really, and the emotion and nuance for me is the best. I don’t play piano, or music (except for a little percussion, have had various hand drums and a flamenco cajón, the latter being a favorite), I have to admit, so my opinions aren’t coming from an experience of having played much at all. But even after 30 years of listening to this man, it could never ever get old, and perhaps if I had to pick a musician to listen to if it came down to one choice, it might be Vlady here. His repertoire is great, and his playing is just on another level… and he is just such an adorable old man sitting at the piano!
