I remember watching this together with my father in '86. We were both moved by the beauty of the music but even more by the audience. It's the way these people were listening, each experiencing a deeply personal moment in thoughts. And then there was that man on 1:30 . Who was he, why was he so emotional? Were they tears of joy or tears of sorrow? It doesn't matter. It's what music can do to people. I remember my dad crying when he listened to Ave Verum Corpus. My brother and I laughed. Now I can't listen to it without becoming emotional and it seems to amuse my son. Full circle.
They played the piece in radio after announcing the end of the WWII. That is, why they are so emotional. The choir version in being played in loop in Stalingrad memorial and other important WWII memorials
This man for me = piano. His tone, technique and musicality stun me. He loved bel canto music and he can sing at the piano. He is singing magnificently
This is not a difficult piece, and for precisely that reason, I imagine it may resonate with many audience members because they remember hearing it played by someone they loved. This performance is beautiful in its clean simplicity.
Per me,decisamente Horowitz al primo posto ; suona questo magnifico pezzo con affetto e nostalgia come se vivesse in un altro mondo...si dice che lo suonasse al termine dei suoi concerti in memoria della figlia morta prematuramente 😢❤
I often ask myself that same question. I especially wonder about the girl in the white shirt sitting on the man's lap. She listens so intently, like she understands everything Horowitz is saying. Did she become a musician herself?
My grandfather on dad's family side taught me old school style he had hundreds of LP's classical music from many countries Italian, Russian, Arabian, German also books all kinds encyclopedias, Shakespeare, Greek literature, European, American, Mexican, plus a wonderfull box filled with various items a tíny chess board complete with all chess puedes inside a black king the size of a small coke bottle from Russia a monk from Moscow gave him as a personal gift since then l love music, good books and play chess thank you grandpa oh!almost forgot he spoke seven languages l only speak two English and spanish.
Vladimir Horowitz was born in Kyiv, the Russian Empire in 1903. Then he emigrated from USSR in 1925. And so, it is 1986 on the video, and he is at his Homeland, supposedely, but also like foreigner...
And please remember that this wonderful musician was not Russian but, as he adamantly stated in an interview (and when playing with British orchestras), Ukrainian. He was born in Kyiv and said in the same interview stated that his real Christian name was Volodya. He was 83 when he played this piece.

I am back here again to watch this legendary playing and still remember the gentle man tearing down at 1:30 . It's been 11 years since my first visit.
You can tell the way he played made people think about everything -- good and bad. Such a moving piece.
If the meaning of life is to live in the moment, then what a gift to have 2+ minutes within this beauty
何百回聞いても素晴らしい！この音、このタッチは誰にも真似できない！
It's at the same time the most sad and yet most gently contented of all pieces... tears of joy and tears of sadness.
This man for me = piano. His tone, technique and musicality stun me. He loved bel canto music and he can sing at the piano. He is singing magnificently
Astonishing. A beautiful piece for delightful moments
The most beautiful 2 min of sounds ever...
This is not a difficult piece, and for precisely that reason, I imagine it may resonate with many audience members because they remember hearing it played by someone they loved. This performance is beautiful in its clean simplicity.
“镜子，它们收集从它们的脸上淌出来的美，再把它完整地收回到他们身上。” 朗朗之辈还不具备承载这种美的灵魂。
One of the most moving legendary piano performances ever played on this planet ... had to wipe a few tears off my face.
A tear is falling in HEIDELBERG,GERMANY right now!🌹🇩🇪🇷🇺

this song always brings tears to my eyes. Believe it or not, Liberace plays this beautifully also.
If you don't cry with this, you are not human.
That’s a lot of non humans in the audience
Not exactly...I'm just too young.
@@johannsebastianbach6282 haha
You can see beauty and you can also hear it.
Where and how are all these people - their children - now?
I often ask myself that same question. I especially wonder about the girl in the white shirt sitting on the man's lap. She listens so intently, like she understands everything Horowitz is saying. Did she become a musician herself?
Sweetness...
Immense Horowitz...
