Customer Reviews

The maestro at the height of his maturity.
This 6-CD set contains all the recordings that Vladimir Horowitz made during the last five years of his life, including the historic concert he did in Moscow in 1986, three years before his death in 1989. Truly at the height of his maturity, these recordings breathe love, consolation, compassion, vitality, and many other feelings you'd associate with true artistic heights. At this budget price, this is excellent value for money. There's even a Mozart concerto he recorded with an orchestra in 1986. From the first track, the Bach prelude, to the last track, a live performance of the Schumann Kinderszenen, this virtuoso performances are mesmerising and healing to the soul.

Horowitz the Master of the Keyboard
Horowitz always surprises and amazes with the mastery of his rendition. This collection of his expertise is a delight to listen to. I believe it is a very worthwhile addition to anyones collection of keyboard mastery. However, I remain amazed at the impudence and lack of thought so called enthusiasts display when they have the nerve to cough through his recitals. This is particularly noticeable during the Schuman Kinderszenen on disc 6. Naturally, during any live performance there is an element of risk, but these interuptions go beyond the pale. However, despite this, the collection is a joy to listen to, and a sad reminder of true genius lost to us. I recommend the set, excellent playing throughout.
