Extractions: This all started with a "Consumer Guide" I wrote for the Village Voice, New York's big alternative weekly. I listened to 17 recordings of this suddenly popular concerto, and wrote 17 quick paragraphs, with a grade attached to each one. Poor David Helfgott got an F; Vladimir Horowitz got an A, for his version with Fritz Reiner conducting. (Though a later Horowitz release, a live performance with Eugene Ormandy, only got C+.) You can read this adventure, right here on this site. Much later and by a happy coincidence I was asked to write about the concerto once again, this time for the Los Angeles Times. In fact, I was asked to defend it against critical attacks, which I was happy to do. The more I listened to it, for my Voice consumer guide, the more I loved it. And I enlisted two very articulate pianists to help me defend it Alexander Toradze, and Byron Janis.

Extractions: 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

Extractions: MUSIC CRITIC DAVID DUBAL BECAME THE FIRST BIOGRAPHER OF VLADIMIR HOROWITZ. HIS PRIVATE ARCHIVES BOAST PORTRAITS OF THE MAESTRO MADE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE HIS DEATH He was known and admired throughout the world, yet in his home country the name of Vladimir Horowitz was officially forgotten for several decades. Those who emigrated to the West were treated by the Soviets as enemies. Soviet encyclopedias and dictionaries described him as an American pianist, a representative of the romantic style of performance, and almost every source referred to the reader to different dates, even places of birth. Entry No. 725 was recently discovered in an archival register of births, reading that Horowitz, Vladimir SemÑnovich, was born October 1, 1903, in the city of Kyiv, meaning that we will mark his centennial in two years. There are many blanks in the record of his Kyiv period. They are studied and filled in by music critic Yuri Zilberman, one of the organizers of the Horowitz Young Pianists Contest.

Extractions: Vladimir Horowitz (1903-1989) was a virtuoso pianist, who lived in the time of Sergei Rachmaninoff (a Russian composer and pianist). In fact, they were good friends, having in common the fact that both were Russian and pianists. Upon hearing a replay of a concert on PBS while I was in college, I was struck by the beauty of his playing. Having made to "learn" the piano when I was young, I never developed an appreciation for classical piano. Mind-numbing repetitive practice and the impatience of youth both furthered my distaste for the piano. I did not know the beauty of the piano or of music until I heard Vladimir Horowitz for the first time. His performance moved me so much that I began to rediscover classical music. As James Hilton wrote: "If by some dispensation a man born deaf were to be given hearing for a single hour, he might well spend the whole time with Horowitz. Indeed, when I listened to Horowitz for the first time it was almost like that-as if I had never really heard the piano before, as if the instrument itself had never known what it could do until Horowitz came along." While I am certainly unqualified to make such a comment nor do I believe other pianists are unworthy of such praise, I had a similar epiphany when I listened to Horowitz for the very first time. The link listed above provides a good starting point if you wish to learn more about Vladimir Horowitz.
