Vladimir Horowitz, piano
RCA 09026-62644-2
Horowitz was friendly with the Soviet consul stationed in New York (who defected some time around the early 50s) and, from that connection, premiered many contemporary Russian works. The Prokofieff transcriptions from his own Cinderella ballet proclaim that composer from the opening bars. Horowitz also gave the American premieres of Prokofieff's Sonatas 6 through 8, and left a blistering recorded account of #7. The Cinderella excerpts are slighter, although they work beautifully in the complete ballet, but still bewitching. The Kabalevsky aims for more and accomplishes less - curiously "faceless" music, at best a pale reflection of Shostakovich or the Prokofieff of the Sarcasms. Horowitz made these discs for his own use, so don't expect commercial-quality sound. A thin patina of crackles lies over every track. The Debussy in particular sounds like someone is crinkling cellophane in front of the mike. Still, if you can put up with "historic" sound in glorious mono (of course), this disc provides much of interest. Steve Schwartz Search Reviews Back to the Review Index

Rachmaninoff: Concerto No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 30. Vladimir Horowitz, Pianist. New York Philharmonic, Eugene Ormandy, Conductor. RCA Victor Red Seal 61564 (Analog Stereo) Previously released as RCA Victor Red Seal RCD1-2633 and Recorded Live in Concert at Carnegie Hall, 8 January 1978. This masterfully recorded version of Rachmaninoff's Third Concerto was given on the 50th anniversary of Russian Pianist Vladimir Horowitz' American debut. Though not preferred by most critics to his 1951 recording with Reiner and the RCA Symphony Orchestra, this is by far Horowitz' most polished, emotional and powerful performance - full of cantabile and warmth, yet never lacking in the pyrotechnics for which Volodya was so famous. His treatment of the concerto is actually closer to his 1930 recording with Albert Coates and the London Symphony Orchestra. How fortunate we are, as well, to have Rachmaninoff's close friend Eugene Ormandy as conductor for this eventful recording - this is the only available recording of Rachmaninoff's two greatest champions in collaboration. This, in fact, is my favourite classical recording - period. It documents Horowitz' first appearance with an orchestra since 1953 and one can sense the anticipation from the opening chords of hearing what Horowitz would come up with. This piece has been long known as Horowitz' warhorse, but for the first time, Horowitz does not pounce upon this great work immediately with his explosive pianism. Instead of attacking the opening movement

          1. Sight reading, both solo and duet repertoire
          2. He was not taught technique
          3. "I only know that in the music itself I found out what the fingers had to do"

          1. Formal exercises are bad for the ear and touch. They are not alive and are merely mechanical
        3. Technical Methods of Performing
          a. Scales, arpeggios, octaves and chords
            1. Use the 5th finger to guide the hand 2. Each tone must lead to the last one
          b. Strength
            1. For strength, imagine the fingers singing 2. Strength comes from playing musically 3. Every finger must feel it's tone
          c. Voicing 1. Relax the wrist 2. Connect the melodic note to the hand 3. Let your wrist feel the movement 4. "The finger must have a consciousness of the movement which makes the singing melody"

Vladimir Horowitz
1904-1989 (Américain, d'origine Russe)
Sa vie en résumé...
Vladimir Horowitz débuta professionnellement en 1921. Il fut surnommé "l'ouragan des steppes" ,suite à un concert à Berlin en 1926, où son jeu puissant fut très remarqué.
Il se produisit en 1928 à Londres et à New-york.
Vladimir Horowitz connut une carrière en dents de scie, au cours de laquelle il se retira périodiquement de la scène (1936-1938 ; 1968-1974 ; 1983-1985).
Le public qui l'appréciait énormément alla jusqu'à faire 24 heures la queue pour obtenir des billets de son concert à Carnegie Hall.
Sa virtuosité...
Pianiste mythique, Vladimir Horowitz est apprécié pour la puissance de son jeu, sa prouesse technique et sa maîtrise musicale.
Il se révèla en effet un des meilleurs virtuoses pour ses interprétations de Liszt, Chopin, Rachmaninov et Tchaîkovski.
Il est le pianiste du 20 ème siécle qui a le plus profondément fasciné son auditoire, gràce à cette virtuosité "terrifiante et diabolique, et par l'expression d'une étrangeté, d'une poèsie, d'un rapport quasi halluciné avec la matière sonore".
Nombreux pianistes ont tenté de l'imiter ...sans jamais l'égaler...

Han var en af den slags pianister , der ikke skabes længere I Philips' serie med dette århundredes store pianister er Vladimir Horowitz en af de ganske få, der er blevet tildelt to volumener. Det er der i og for sig intet at sige til, da han absolut er en af dette århundredes største pianistiske personligheder. Født i Kiev i 1904, og død 85 år efter i New York fremstår han som stjernen over dem alle på sit instrument. Allerede fra sit 20ene år turnerede han Europa rundt, og i 1928 indledte han sin første Amerika tour. Han blev omgående en superstjerne. Det var før grammofonpladen og faktisk også før radioen gjorde sit indtog på markedet. "Live" opførelsen (og noderne) var derfor eneste mulighed for at stifte bekendtskab med musikken, og Horowitz var en værdig udøver og fortolker. Han blev ofte sammenlignet med Liszt, og hans virtuositet og omfattende turneren gjorde da også sammenligningen relevant, omend næppe mange direkte har kunnet sammenligne de to herrers spil. Dertil er tidsspændet mellem Liszt’s tilbagetrækning og Horowitz’s debut nok for stort, men det ændrer ikke ved, at klaverspillet ikke ville være hvad det er i dag uden nogle af de to.

VLADIMIR HOROWITZ PLAYS 100
October 1 to 3
100 years, that is. Considered by many critics and scholars the outstanding pianist of the 20th century, Vladimir Horowitz would have turned 100 years old on October 1 this year, so it's a perfect occasion to both honor his memory and contribution as well as marvel at some of the outstanding Horowitz performances gloriously captured on camera in his final, incredibly productive years. Born in Tsarist Russia, Horowitz fled his native country in 1925 (returning only 61 years later, as recounted in the marvelous Horowitz in Moscow
Special thanks to Peter Gelb and Sony Classical Music for making this series possible.
VLADIMIR HOROWITZ: THE LAST ROMANTIC
1986, Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Susan Froemke, Deborah Dickson, Pat Jaffe, USA; 88 min.

In 1985, as he was preparing for what would be the final Performances of his unparalleled concert career - he was already 81 - Vladimir Horowitz began spending hours each day rehearsing under the watchful and loving eye of his wife Wanda Toscanini Horowitz. His manager at the time, Peter Gelb, convinced him to allow in a small film crew to record these sessions; The result is the wonderfully intimate portrait of one of the 20th century's most extraordinary musicians at home at work. As the film amply demonstrates, Horowitz was one musician who knew how to put the element of 'play" back into his playing; his sheer enjoyment with the wondrous sounds he creates is infectious, and a mischievous smile appears every time he thinks he's gotten a piece especially right.
