- I've done my best to provide English subtitles (click the "CC" icon at the bottom of the screen).
Horowitz occasionally slurs through words and phrases when speaking French. There are a few instances when I did not understand what he said, and so simply inserted [?].
If anyone can assist in translating those mysterious phrases, please provide details in Comments and I'll edit the subtitles to include them.
Interviewer is Eric Lipman (with thanks to lhiram23 for identifying him).
Horowitz was a modest, even humble person given his extraordinary pianistic capabilities and charisma. In other words he never liked to grandly present himself to interviewers, after all his unique playing said everything about this remarkable human being.
Delightful man. Charming modest and the best!
What a beautiful soul. No wonder his playing sings so heavenly. Not an ounce of pretentiousness.
"Le succès c'est quand il y a le silence."
La plus intéressante interview avec VH !
A true, humbled Mastro Master of the piano opera.and so cool 😎. May GOD bless
Il est tellement conscient de lui-même. C'est tellement chouaite de l'écouter
chouette
At 7:57 he's saying that people say to him "Oh I've been listen to you for 30 years" and he says " I wasn't born 30 years ago". (He's joking about being young)
Filling in some missing English captions and correcting one where VH was misheard:
@1:24 … Success for a pianist is when there is no coughing, when the audience is listening.
@3:13 But a slow piece, on a percussion instrument, is difficult to make sing.
@6:13 … was tried out, as we say,…
@7:55 But I wasn’t born 34 years ago!
Thank you very much for this document !
Un monstre du piano...
Fantastic interview and some excellent comments
Merci
Interessantissimo .
Fascinating !
Fascinating
Horowitz was a great polyglote as well and he didn't flaunt it but rubinstein did.
Horowitz sempre foi fora da curva, The best ,os demais vao tudo atras dele
3:05 he wanted to say « at least I can play intervals quick and scales quick »
I sometimes wonder what would have happened if Rubinstein had married Wanda and Horowitz had married Mrs. Rubinstein. Interesting. Horowitz was unfairly unlucky.
No comparison.
Мощный дед
The auto traduction in french (from french ti french) is crazy. It translate pianist to penis.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He and his formidable wife spoke French between them - his French was better than his English
Frecnch is for me abra cadabra
Who is the interviewer?
I don't know. I pulled this off the air in October 1985 from a channel representing an international consortium of French-language broadcasters from around the world. Most of the content came from France. I didn't record the entire program, and so don't have access to the credits. Sorry ...
@@caramelorb thank you!🙏
Hi Scott, This is Eric Lipmann www.musicamour.com/qui.html I loved the interview! Cheers.
Éric Lipmann.
@@caramelorb Thank you for what you did manage to catch. I love the free form of this. I never know what he's going to say next, which is great IMO. Lots of insight in a few moments! 🙂
Pour ce qui concerne Cortot, il y a des zones d'ombres et de lumière, la vérité est plus nuancée que « c'était un nazi". D'autre part, j'ai en tête l'interprétation de la première ballade de Chopin par Horowitz, on croit entendre à chaque seconde les commentaires de l'édition de travail de Cortot, si on ajoute à cela que Cortot était un élève de Diemer... la réflexion qui dit qu'il ne pouvait pas jouer les études de Chopin parce qu'il n'avait pas de technique est ridicule d'autant que ce n'est pas le recueil le plus redoutable techniquement, l'opus 10 et l'opus 25 sont des chef-d'œuvres absolus et l'exercice narcissique de vouloir jouer l'intégrale est fort vain. Quand à ceux qui pensent qu'il y avait un gentil pépé Horowitz rigolo qu'ils aillent se documenter un peu en lisant la biographie de Glenn Plaskin...
Mon dieu, que c'est presque incoyable de trouver un texte vraiment intelligent à RUclips.
Oui, il assassine Cortot en le traitant de pianiste nazi sans technique, mais perfidement il commence par dire qu'il était bon chef d'orchestre. Il y a visiblement de la haine et de la rivalité là dedans. Cortot faisait pas mal de fausses notes, certes, mais il ne faut pas oublier que, contrairement à Horowitz, il enseignait énormément. Et il a laissé des enregistrements magnifiques, d'une incomparable poésie, notamment de Schumann. Je ne crois pas qu'il y ait beaucoup de grands pianistes qui soient véritablement gentils.
Je n'aime pas la Kreisleriana...
