CD Reviews

A must-have for the serious collector
KNCE@aol.com Kevin Wilson | California | 03/06/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Any serious fan of Horowitz's, who thinks he has heard the "real" virtuoso, but who has never heard these early London recordings, will be delighted. This 2 cd collection contains many of his most famous performances: the Rachmaninov 3rd Concerto, Haydn's No 52 Sonata, Schumann's Arabeske and Toccata, and the legendary Liszt Sonata. Horowitz was at his peak during this period, the 1930s; his dramatic power, speed and clarity have never been matched. The two pianists generally considered to be the best before W.W.II, Rachmaninov and Josef Hofmann, both considered Horowitz to be their spiritual heir. These performances demonstrate why."
