I know a guy who studied with both Horowitz and Rubenstein. Another masterful, but unknown, genius artist. He told me of the line of great pianists going back to J.S. Bach through Horowitz. Can you imagine being that gifted and that lucky?
Thank you Mr. Vladimir Horowitz , by mistake i put this beautiful piece in one of my videos about Spring, marvellous performance!!! a true consolation for the weary heart.
Who said this is in New York? The Goldener Saal is unique because of its Perfect Accoustics. It was fully packed inspite of the very expensive tickets, And the Stehplatz (where you hear standing ) I think the public there had no place even to breath. . Unluckily I was not there, but I I watched the live TV emission. I was of course, deeply moved.
@@JohannPetrak Yesterday I saw New York. He has changed the title probably last night. Are you Austrian? I am not but I live in Vienna since long ago and I felt nearly insulted with the New York title. Besides, the Consolation is incomplete. A loss of time posting this, as the complete concert is also in UA-cam.
@@Bzcenci812 yes, I am Austrian, but I was not at that concert back then. To be fair, I think the complete concert has only been posted after this video.
Ah, he adds a low D-flat on the very last chord in the piece. The Urtext edition of this piece does not have that low D- flat at the end, but I always thought it sounded appropriate to add it in when I’ve played this piece.
My take of this: This was Horowitz' very last performance of any kind. He was about 82 year old. To my mind, here he was in "make a show for the audience" mode. He plays a bit too brightly, a bit quick. (Was he nervous? He had ceased performing at least a decade prior, no?) But you can plainly see the peerless dexterity STILL in those fingers, and there are those irrepressibly delicate moments of nearly unaudible "hold-and-change" where his true nature emerges. Was anyone ever so brilliant at that age? At least the piano/recording was in tune. In 1985 Horowitz was featured in a 60-Minutes Special called "The Last Romantic" filmed and recorded at his NYC home where he played 13 works including Liszt's (sublime) Consolation -- he actually played each about half-a-dozen times and picked the "best" variation [because no artist does anything the same way twice] to put on CD for Deutsche Grammophon (I'm assuming he did not make a studio recording for the CD later.) That 1985 recording is MUCH more delicate and intimate -- he is playing, it certainly seems, for himself and not an audience. There is a YT video of that performance. Unfortunately, the pitch is way off and wavers in-and-out of tune -- BUT you get a better glimpse into "the real" Horowitz in that video. I have the CD of that from 1985, not only is that recording pitch perfect, but it is Horowitz at his very exquisite best -- the best recording/performance of Consolation in D-flat maj I have ever heard. It is one of my few treasures. I would suggest comparing the 1985 NYC performance with this 1987 Wien/Vienna performance. Neither is perfect. Both together is quite a treat.
Хай спочиває Твоя душа зі Святими в Упокої Господнім. Яка Божественна любов твоєї родини. Хай Господь Тебе прославить у Своїм Раю. Немає красивішої гри ,як Твоя родинна атмосфера ,яка є даром для всіх нас . Вічная пам'ять.
Horowitz isn't dead, he's on a long sabbatical teaching God how to play piano. Word is that God is not doing so well and Horowitz is getting frustrated.
I'm sorry but his tempo is too fast for me As if he has never experianced real hardship and came out alive No depth if I may dare say so please Little feeling of comfort nor consolation for that matter I'm sorry to be blunt but that's the way he plays this particular piece, to me, friends

@@MasaTenorPianist I have little talent for playing the piano [just slightly more than none.] I do not doubt for a nano-second that you are a gifted artist -- the way you phrased your criticism is evidence enough. My comment to you was not an insult, it was a rebuke and expression of sadness for your arrogance. You did not give yourself the talent you claim belongs to you. Though I am not a pianist, I am an artist; I understand the conflict between arrogance and humility. You will be a better artist when you begin to shed the self-importance. Humility is unachievable by your own effort, however. When we think have just a bit, we realize that we don't understand the principle at all. You may not have realized it, but God (the God of Bible) has called you to a greater purpose than merely being a gifted piano player. To the matter of Vladimir Horowitz: how is it that you are a great artist of the piano and have so little understanding of a great artist who came before you? Do you think this one performance is the sum of his talent? Can you hope to have a fraction of his skill if you live to the age of 82? Did you not know how highly esteemed Mr. Horowitz had already been at whatever age you are now? Humble yourself before the author of Music, and give Him thanks for what He has given you. Then you can begin to appreciate your gift. May your Father in Heaven be with and guide you to Him. May He bless you with more gifts than you can possibly imagine!
@@theothererik1128 Don't be emotional Read my comment carefully It apply to his particular performance specifically to this consolation 3 I also do not like his manners Coming out on stage plugging his ears My god that is a sign of old-age derived synisysm（Pardon spelling?） I think he is being scolded by god on this particular mannerism After all, he was only human you know
Horowitz, the master of all masters and the master of sound differences and colours. He was an extraordinary giant of piano.
Like raindrops falling on still water! Magnificent!
Absolutely. A masterpiece ever, forever.
This music played by Horowitz is DIVINE 😊
God, thanking for giving me the blessing to listen to this piano piece!
Un pianiste extraordinaire
None can match Vladimir's performance in this piece!!!! His timing and tempo are excellent.
This was played at the Wiener Musikverein in May of 1987, one of five concerts he did in May and June of that year, and part of his final tour.
I could listen to it all day, and I do.

What's his name?
Nemo?
"I know a guy". - that's what he said
@@adrianwright8685 his name is 'IKNOWAGUY'
@@alpha12321romeo Never heard of him!
Human hands can play such a masterpiece, amazing indeed.
A human brain imagined it and wrote it down - way more amazing!
Perfektion. Achieved through love and harmony
Thank you Mr. Vladimir Horowitz , by mistake i put this beautiful piece in one of my videos about Spring, marvellous performance!!! a true consolation for the weary heart.
BRAVOOO Monsieur Horowitz! Quel dons vous aviez !!!
He is like petting the piano so calming
まさに神の域、これ以上の世界はない♫♪
Un surpassed pianist. So emotional
Der "Tasten-Liebhaber" und Meister der leisen Töne. From Heaven sent!
Nada entendo de música clássica.. nem de piano..mas para meus ouvidos horowitz é o melhor..
Ah the hands... they know. Thank you for sharing this. Love.
Beautiful, made me tear up
This is not New York but the "Goldener Salal" in the Musikverein Concert Hall in Vienna, Austria where Horowitz gave a Concert in 1987.

@@JohannPetrak I was too rash and perhaps unfair. Mit freundlichen Grüße, Beatriz
Horowitz is one of the most recent pianist so close to the 19th century.. Beautifull!
Not New York. Musikverein, Großer Saal. Last Horowitz's concert Tour 1987. There are UA-cams of the whole Vienna Concert.'
l'impassibilité légendaire d'Horowitz tranche avec les expressions des visages de nos plus jeunes pianistes !
Bravo MAESTRO

Was wondering if Mr Horowitz had videos recording Liebestraum no.3 by Liszt. Would love to listen if there's any.
Best ever Liebestraum interpretation. All others can hang their head in shame. Sorry to say that but its true.
Unico...👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹😘
Maravillosa interpretación

Horowirtz. Uno de los grandes coloristas del siglo XX. Aquí está la demostración...
So easy to see how Horowitz became such a much loved pianist.
magnificent. the GOAT.
Adoro ...!
Einfach Wunderbahr! 🙂
Such a pleasure to listen to truly good music especially since I live in the Caribbean home of that mess of a confusion soca calypso.
Музыка вечна божественна мне имеет языковых разниц. Здесь только Бог, автор и исполнитель. А наше счастье слушать и наслаждаться их творениями
Perfection
GORGEOUS!!!
Sublime
commovente

Horowitz was born from Kiev, in Ukraine while under Soviet rule.
Born before the soviet union was formed
@@indioduran4535 Right obviously born before the revolution, and not in Kiev, but it was the Ukraine that part you got right
He is like Jean-Pierre Rampal of piano
por que se llama consolación si te hace poner mas triste ?
👍♥️
dio de piano
He plays one note if it had half the duration…..
Porque que es cuando esta triste.
🇮🇷🎹no es.
😮💨
The audience is so noisy wtf.
lang
