Chopin was definitely the Kurt cobain of classical composers

Simply the GOAT.

This is how it should have sounded. Having the technique to play twice as fast says she is a good technician, never a good musician. And I hate that dress. Musicians prefer to let the music sing rather than have you concentrate on body parts. ruclips.net/video/Aag4IrbIRkM/видео.htmlsi=7vgmyEo-1091jOLL

Maravilloso como siempre el señor Horowitz

Fantastic performance by the greatest pianist who ever lived. the GOAT.

This was performed b4 I was born😂

If Chopin played his music, he would have played just like this....

He could be really erratic in concert, often winding up the tension too much. But this is really fantastic. All of the tools used to make a brilliant edifice.

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.

Gorgeous Artistry. Inimitable VH

Stregoneria, demonismo... superbo, a dir poco. ❤

God Bless You🙏🏼💐

you ought to put date on these. what date was this? thanks!

what date / year was this?

For me this is the perfect performance. Newer pianists only want to sound different, and sacrifice the soul of the piece. Here you can clearly see Horowitz is channelling from elsewhere…

豪快！絢爛！敬服しました。😂

I'm don't agree with Horowitz's style on all pieces, but on this one he hits the mark in a unique way. As usual his octave runs are un paralleled and he is able to make the piece sound different than the standard performances.

La fin est hors du temps...

Si inimaginable...

This is one of those transcendent performances

He’s my favorite piano player of all time ❤

Il più Grande insieme a Michelangeli!!!! ❤

WARNING : Your breath may literally be taken away while watching this video Thank you, Vladimir and Frederic

Very good!

Wspaniałe i ponadczasowe. Ta muzyka będzie zachwycać wiecznie. Dzieło stuleci i symbol naszego narodu polskiego ❤

Sheer perfection.

Mesmerizing..

I'm forever thankfull for the Europeans who invented classical music it saved me from killing myself...

Certainement l'une des pièces musicales les plus difficiles à interpréter Personne n'a jamais eu la maitrise absolue de ce chef-d'oeuvre. Le tempo est la colonne vertébrale de cette pièce et jusqu'à présent personne ne le maîtrise en totalité! Certains passages sont trop rapides, même si l'interprétation est de qualité. Je pense également que Chopin lui--même ne maitrisait pas cet aspect, mais il s'en moquait : Autre époque. La virtuosité devait certainement primer sur l'interprétation.

ohh horowitz!! ❤

Unbelievable performance of this "crazy" work! But the craziest passage is certainly the "ostinato" between bars 83 and 102,(here 2:57 to 3:35) which I have never been able to understand! What was Chopin trying to say to us?

Not according to Chopins score-like a piece of elastic!

I prefer Chopin’s nocturnes and ballades compared to the polonaise; however, I agree with the other comments; this is a truly incredible performance.

Amazing...

Such an unconventional interpretation 🤣. I mean, what is he even doing? Not to criticise though as he is quite the master

なんで可愛らしい音色🌷💗

Mathmatics

he does NOT like to be called Shirley!

He wrote this arrangement in the 1920s and he played variations of it throughout most of his concert career. The 1968 Carnegie Hall recording which was live was one of the best and the transcription of the music is available.

左右の指が鍵盤から離れてない、凄いテクニックだ。

I have a favorite pianist for every composer, and sometimes, for a single piano piece. My favorite Scarlatti interpreter is Horowitz.

The GOAT. He won 26 Grammy Awards. He always plays his own Steinway D.

Excellent like always but Rubinstein 😢

Chopin must have had a lot of sadness in his life

Nobody should play Scarlatti after Horowitz! No one can match this musicality!!!!!

Only one word for his performance! (Surpurb)

It is delightful just to watch his fingers

It's not an interpretation at all, it's the truth - Horowitz established it technically!!

I watch this every few years, and am just as blown away by it now as I was as a kid when I watched it on TV.
