Synopsis

Here's a Horowitzian grab bag, programmed without rhyme or reason, that reveals the great pianist's many moods. His volatile, unsettled Beethoven Op 10 No. 3 Sonata (Horowitz's first stereo recording) is juxtaposed with six lapidarian Scarlatti sonatas, remastered from noisy 1946 vinyl pressings this writer supplied to BMG. A smattering of Chopin waltzes, mazurkas, and nocturnes fuse intriguing neuroticism and masterful detailing as only Horowitz could. Tim Page's excellent notes put these recordings in perspective. --Jed Distler
