Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "who is the best jazz pianist today?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Poneyton Introductory Preeminence - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a good one off product for discovering how to master the piano minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it.
Horowitz let his gorgeous playing speak for him rather than grandiose, dramatic and emotional outward flourishes with their arms and body that many pianists use in order to keep the viewers’ interest. He could keep them captivated without all that.
I’m a retired professional photographer and Steinway was a client. I photographed the unveiling of Horowitz’s portrait in Steinway Hall by Wanda Toscanini Horowitz. After the program ended, I was allowed to play a few chords on one of Horowitz’s pianos. A chilling experience.
I have seen Vladimir Horowitz perform many times during my lifetime. I can tell you that Mr. Horowitz was exceptionally pleased with his own performance of Chopin's Opus No. 53 here. Whenever Mr. Horowitz has a solemn expression during a performance but, after the close, exhales his breath, in almost an exaggerated manner, and then smiles, that's a classic "tell" that he was satisfied that he gave his best possible performance.
He was my father's first cousin. He was so dedicated to his art. I was told stories of his dedication. I am so proud to be a relative of such an amazing man.

@@RaineriHakkarainen Why can't we simply accept that those experts are simply neither better or worse than the others ? But just different. I appreciate them all...Horovitz is one of the greatest.
Yes, he was getting better and better with old age, with regard to his emotion and expression. Who needs cold technical perfection, any MIDI file can do that.
His fingering is absolutely perfect. How his finger strikes the key determines the tone of the string. Tonal quality varies with touch. Vladimir sets the gold standard for all pianists. Hearing this Chopin’s jaw would drop.
On this LEAP Day...I thought of my late father in his long underwear....leaping into the living room as I danced to this music. My mother had a red vinyl 45 and I played it and danced all the time in the 60s. How the music brings it back.
Fico perdido frente ao comentário de tantos amantes dos grandes pianistas. Não é o meu caso é sinceramente os invejo por isso. Bem que gostaria de saber distingui-los.
The master. when I want to hear what a piano is supposed to sound like-it always come back to Vladimir Horowitz. gives me goosebumps hearing him play. Or to tears of joy...magnificent.
It's live performance.. different from a recording studio. With passion, you lead to perfection. Landing keys on slips is sometimes that we address during practices, transitions, & fingers crossing keys wide apart.. May not be avoided. As it is I salute pianist performer H for this performance.
Ahhh eu me emociono profundamente em ouvir as polonesas de Chopin, pelas mãos abençoadas de Horowitz. É uma interpretação magistral, com nuances, expressões, que ouvi poucas vezes, ❤❤❤❤❤ . Horowitz é único, um Deus do piano. Não me canso de ouvi-lo.
Wow! What a beautiful rendition.Chopin is one of my favorite composer and this piano piece is one of my favorite.Never get tired of listening to this beautiful music.
I'm 22 and haven't played piano seriously in several years but Horowitz's performance here is astounding. The color, intention, and his pure agility belies his age. This interpretation here is seriously making me want to rediscover the instrument...
The segment between 4:43 and 6:00 is out of this world! A magnificent demonstration of how music can take you to a another realm, with the great Horowitz holding the keys to that dimension.
I can’t help but to focus on his right hand pinky. There is so much control, especially how he has it tucked away until it’s time to play its next note. It’s so smooth. I truly admire his playing.
@@rudepeoplestink, concordo com o trabalho árduo. As peças de Chopin e Liszt exigem muito trabalho e são magníficas, mas talento, meu amigo, é essencialmente importante e isso não é fantasia não, é dom divino sim. Estudei piano durante 15 anos, fui insistente, mas não tenho esse talento e tive muito dificuldade de interpretar as peças desses magníficos compositores e outros também. Sou limitada, não por falta de vontade, mas por falta de talento. E este Deus deu a poucos. Lamento sua colocação.
@@soniamartins9472 I feel the same as you. I too studied piano for years - coinciding with my piano tuning business - and _worked_ very diligently on my performance, especially the Chopin repertoire. My piano friends felt I had a gift for interpreting his pieces. But my abilities went only so far. I wanted so badly to perform some of Chopin's more difficult music according to my heart's 'ear', but those pieces were simply beyond my abilities or stamina. Horowitz and the other piano greats were, and are, so gifted.
It is interesting how Vladimir Horowitz always seems to play with his fingers slightly flat, whereas arched fingers are usually recommended when playing the piano.
It’s a feature of Russian technique, the key is struck with the fleshier part of the finger away from the tip and the wrist carries the movement through to full depression of the key, seems to work for Mr H, even in old age he could produce clarity, complexity and weight of tone which was nothing short of magnificent, and all achieved with apparent economy of movement and gesture.
Perfection. Love the mountains of sounds Horowitz could create along with his spontaneity and bold manner. This is playing cultivated in an era when music and artistic individuality truly mattered. Note his subtle and artful use of legato. If you haven’t yet noticed, this is a long lost art. Barely anyone can do that any longer and when they try the results are so obvious and in your face that they are jarring and unmusical. In other words, if you can’t do it and do it very well, please don’t.
80+ year old man playing with such intensity. Hallelujah ‼️ I encountered an excellent piano teacher, unfortunately, too late. He gave me this piano piece. I was in my junior year of veterinary medicine by then. I worked on it despite the killer academic load. I was able to play it in its entirety a couple of times but boy, did it absolutely kill my hands, arms, neck and upper back. This is a man's piece. I have never heard a woman really play this optimally, with the requisite intensity. I had to give it up during my senior year. Not enough time for both activities, not enough energy. My next door neighbor, who was a guitar instructor, told my mother that he got goosebumps everytime he heard me practising it . I would have persisted a bit more if my Mom told me that SOONER. Instead of more than a decade later.😑
Por Dios!!! Que viejo bárbaro!!! Volví a escucharlo y TODO LO QUE HACE ES DE MAESTRIA ABSOLUTA!!! Los ritmos, la digitación impecable para que cada nota conserve su individualidad, los matices de suavidad, media y forte!!! ÚNICO, ESTRATOSFERICO!!
There will never be another, Vladimir Horowitz! I love his interpretations of so many pieces. He makes it look effortless like he’s barely moving his fingers his wrists down his fingers flat. And even at this age he doesn’t miss a note or phrase. His technique and his sound, the play of soft and loud like a painting. Chiaroscuro (the play on light and dark). Nobody does it better than Horowitz.
What a rare experience and adventure to watch this excellent, outstanding video of Horowitz performing at 84 years old! The photography and filming of his hands in detail is marvelous. Of course he performs the Chopin Polonaise in A flat M gorgeous and this is a special moment for me to view Horowitz's playing and his hands too.
Stunning dexterity for an 84 year old. Beautiful. I think his recording from the '70s was technically superior but this recording has a character that his earlier one did not.
I'm doing a project about him and I am so glad that my teacher assigned me to him. I wish I could have attended one of his performances at least once. I'm so fascinated by him.
@@Linkin7130 The idea of losing most of my abilities as I age, seems tolerable to me barring losing ability to play the instrument you are proficient on.
Piano ability is rarely lost in age especially when one plays to become a virtuoso like Horowitz. Since piano technique is based on relaxation during the pianissimo he lets the curve on his fingers half collapse which takes incredible finger independence and strength since a half collapsed finger which is good technique as it limits the amount of finger strength placed upon the note adding dynamics which gives the pianissimo its beautiful sombre quietness he’s a piano genius
Legendary pianist. Considered one of the greatest classical pianist of all time, he was known for his virtuoso technique, timbre and the audience's excitement caused by his playing....
Unlimited technique, combined with daring attacks on the music, total confidence in his capabilites allowed Horowitz to soar above all other pianists. Truly the GOAT.
Wow! Amazing how fluently he can still play it at his age. I love Chopins Polonaise. I remember when I was 3 sitting in a big leather chair listening to my much older brother play this. And hundreds of times since. Sadly he passed away at age 86 recently. I noticed at his home, Chopins Polonaise was the music on his baby grand.
Once I heared this, I cannot hear other one. The touching on black key is so soft while it is so powerful for the turning point code. Gosh, it is sctually Gid's play!!
i love how all the other great concert pianists are always closing their eyes, moving around and making faces and things like that when playing a song, and he just sits there emotionless, just barely moving his head when he needs to
3:15 sewing this damn hole again...
This should get more likes

He definitely is a showman with his facial and upper body energy tho too. I agree with you! This guy is CLEAN.
Yes I got the same vibes from this guy, he got one heck of a hammer, just mellower than Vladi...Nobody hammers like the last Romantic

Yes, he was getting better and better with old age, with regard to his emotion and expression. Who needs cold technical perfection, any MIDI file can do that.
Speak for yourself, he was good but gave into the trend in music at the time. He had the skills but the marketing of his career hamstrung him bad!
In the 1950s he hardly ever missed a key.
Chyba najwspanialsze wykonanie tego Poloneza ! Co za przestrzeń,wykonanie detali ....Mistrzostwo ❣️
84 years... always the best of the best, only one name, only Horowitz, forever the great Maestro!!!

84 years old here and showing complete mastery of dynamics from the sublime to the heroic. Inspiring to see and hear Horowitz.
Wow. Between the genius of Chopin, and the ageless talent of Maestro Horowitz, the world is a better place. This melody gives me strength. Thank you.
Какой звук,техника,эмоции! Исполнение на высшем уровне! Браво!Светлая память Вам Маэстро!🙏🙏🙏👍❤💋🌷🌺🌹
How DIVINE is this music and Vladimir Horowitz fingers make the MAGIC become reality!
So, incredible, and difficult. You can see Horowitz going "phew" when he finished up. Pianism doesn't get better than this.

like the chinese technical masters with no passion .
Not making faces and breathing heavily doesn’t mean he is not having passion. Horowitz is one of the greatest of all times, and will continue to be.

I get chills around 3:20...its so exciting
Always in tears after seeing this.. Oh my god, bless him, absolutely breathtakingly beautiful to see and hear.

Chopin died too young.
There were no antibiotics in his days.
Even at an old age, he played this piece amazingly. He really is one of the best of all time.

That’s a bad habit. It shows that he is tense when he plays.
Vladimir Horowitz was sent to play CHOPIN by direct order from God. Simply a privilege for the ears. RIP maestro.

Playing that piece that well is impressive. But I’m blown away by Chopin. He WROTE that!
He makes it look so effortless!
