ABOUT THE ARTIST
Horowitz ‘Chopin Sonata’ comes close to an ideal realisation. The gimmicks are absent and that decision makes sense in the Chopinesque context. The ‘Funeral March’ is played with an icy cold touch, most impressive and ‘The Finale’ is breathtaking in its shimmering speed. Rachmaninoff is steely under his hands, and driven to a tremendous climax. Schumann is charmingly played, without the usual Horowitz artifice. He must have loved this piece. Finally Liszt: Horowitz made it more complicated and more showy than Liszt did himself. It certainly is a colossal tour de force of brilliant piano artistry. This 1962 recording has been flawlessly remastered with depth and musicality. A master at his best. TRACKLIST Side A Frédéric Chopin; Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 35 1. I.
