Amazon.com essential recording

This collection features wide-ranging repertory, including Russian Romantics like Rachmaninoff and Scriabin that were Horowitz's concert staples, all stunningly played. The Chopin "Funeral March" Sonata is taken at a flowing pace, with a crisp, touching march. Schumann's Kinderszenen is fetchingly done with disarming simplicity and heartfelt poetry. He "improves" Liszt's 19th Hungarian Rhapsody with doubling and rewriting, but it's no less exciting for all that. A stylish Beethoven "Pathetique" Sonata is treasurable for singing tone reined into a classical framework. A good overview of Horowitz's style and repertory with many delights. --Dan Davis

Horowitz at his Musical and Technical Prime.......2003-01-06

Volume One of Sony's reissue of Vladimir Horowitz's Complete Columbia Masterworks Recordings contains studio recordings from 1962-63. His first three LPs for Columbia (Columbia Presents Vladimir Horowitz, The Sound of Horowitz, and In His First Recordings of...) were conceived as mini-recitals and have been carefully resequenced to fill two CDs.

By 1962, Horowitz had not performed in public for nine years. Frustrated with the repertoire restrictions, poor sound and lack of marketing he was receiving from RCA, he abandoned Little Nipper and signed on with Columbia Masterworks, headed by the legendary Goddard Lieberson. Thomas Frost was assigned as Horowitz's producer, and the two clicked immediately. The fine results they obtained can be heard here.

For decades Horowitz had a problematic relationship with Chopin's Second Sonata. A 1936 attempt to record the piece was aborted due to the pianist's first nervous breakdown (the first movement survives). Horowitz's 1950 recording for RCA is a bizarre collection of details, with a Funeral March that sounds like a Russian boat song on steroids. This 1962 recording is highly successful, however. Horowitz is obviously on top of the piece, technically, with his spare pedaling highlighting Chopin's use of counterpoint. The Funeral March is, for once, played with a crisp rhythm, the central section exquisitely balanced. He performed this work several times in the 1970s, but not as convincingly. The other Chopin works fare as well, including a passionate "Revolutionary" Etude and a tightly controlled B-minor Scherzo with a characteristically Horowitzian touch: Interlocking octaves replace Chopin's chromatic scales in the coda.

Schumann was Horowitz's favorite German composer. Here we have a swift Arabeske, painted in delicate watercolors, and a reflective Kinderscenen, featuring some remarkable voicing. Less successful is the Toccata, which is pianistically unstable and was spliced together virtually bar-by-bar (this remastering smoothes out the edits much better than previous issues).

Horowitz was less fond of Beethoven. He admired the Master's musical ideas and architecture, but was frustrated by Beethoven's piano writing, and many of Horowitz's Beethoven recordings are not convincing--although none could be classified as "bad." This version of the Pathétique (the only Sonata named by Beethoven himself) is one of the best ones, with a perfectly paced opening movement, a beautifully weighted Andante, and an unrushed Finale. Likewise with the lovingly voiced Schubert Impromptu, which is a great improvement over his 1953 recording which was performed in the wrong key!

Horowitz seldom played Debussy and recorded no Ravel. One wonders why, listening to the three Preludes from Book II included here. Horowitz's ability to control the lower levels of dynamics, playing soft-softer-softest, and his deft tone painting suit this music perfectly.

Of course, no Horowitz recital would be complete without Scarlatti, Scriabin and Rachmaninoff. The three Scarlatti Sonatas document Horowitz's increasing concern with authenticity, coupled with his ability to play with infinite grades of detachment and color. The Rachmaninoff and Scriabin illustrate Horowitz's huge dynamic range and unique understanding of Russian rhetoric.

Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 19 is a rather monotonous piece in the original version, but Horowitz's arrangement of it here unquestionably improves the piece. Not only is the work more spectacular with Horowitz's additions, but the pianist's editing maked the structure more coherent. This was originally the last piece on the first LP he made for Columbia, and it's obvious his intent was to show that although he had mellowed and matured, he could still play "like Horowitz" when he chose. He proved his point.

These recordings were produced at Columbia's legendary 30th Street Studio (actually a converted church) and the "360-degree" sound was widely praised in its day. The remastering has opened up the dynamics, and brought forth a fuller, more natural sound, reducing noise without overly capping the high frequencies.

Delightful First Volume.......2000-11-12

"The Studio Recordings 1962-1963" is the first of Vladimir Horowitz's incredible nine CD volumes of the Complete Masterworks Recordings, which are available individually or as a boxed set. Volume One features solo piano works by an amazing array of composers -- Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Scarlatti, Scriabin, Schubert and Schumann. Several of these pieces I was not familiar with prior to purchasing this disc, especially Schumann's "Kinderszenen" and Horowitz's own transcription for Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 19, and they are wonderful additions to my collection. Some of the other pieces I do have other versions of, and it is delightful to hear the subtle differences in Horowitz's style and interpretation. I always thought Rubinstein was the best at playing Chopin, but Horowitz really gives him a run for his money. The Etudes and the Scherzo are played like they are Horowitz's old friends, and the "Funeral March" flows beautifully between the somber and revelatory passages. I might even have to give Horowitz's rendition the nod over Van Cliburn's version (see my review of that title). Horowitz handles Debussy's three Preludes (from Book II) with all the majesty of Walter Gieseking's classic recordings. And Horowitz's reading of Beethoven's "Pathetique" Sonata is equal, if not superior, to the version by Daniel Barenboim that is coupled with Tchaikovsky's "Pathetique" Symphony. Finally, Horowitz captures three Scarlatti sonatas (not featured on Volume 2) in the brilliant manner that only he could. This two-disc set is an essential purchase for the new and veteran classical music fan alike.

Horowitz on Television.......2003-02-27

Volume Four of Sony's Horowitz reissue contains the audio portion of the pianist's first of many appearances on television. Horowitz had been approached numerous times since the 1940s by network executives looking to televise the pianist. But it was not until 1968, the 40th anniversary of his American debut, that Horowitz approved the idea.

Knowing that he would be performing for more people in one night than he could possibly reach after years of touring must have put the pianist under pressure. But Horowitz rose to the occasion and this is some of the tightest, most disciplined playing of his later career, helped by a program which suited his unique gifts perfectly.

The two contrasting Scarlatti Sonatas are played with Horowitz's usual uncanny control of pianissimo, fleet fingerwork, and perfect pedaling. However, L. 23 is a perhaps bit "precious" compared to his sprightly 1986 Moscow performance.

Horowitz made four (approved) recordings of the Chopin's Ballade in G-Minor. Truth be told, he was never entirely successful in the work, finding difficulty in balancing the episodic and structural elements. This version, along with the epic sounding performance from his 1965 return concert, is the most successful technically and musically.

Less successful is the Nocturne in F-Minor. Horowitz's playing here is too large dynamically, overly focused on detail at the expense of the whole, and the piece emerges as a collection of details.

The F-sharp minor Polonaise is given a performance which is downright diabolical, even nerve-wracking. Yet Horowitz holds the work under a rhythmic control that even Arthur Rubinstein never achieved. It is no exaggeration to say that this may be the greatest F-sharp Minor Polonaise ever recorded, certainly it is one of Horowitz's greatest achievements in Chopin.

It's interesting to compare Horowitz this version of Schumann's Arabeske with Horowitz's studio recording. The 1962 version features swifter tempos, more delicate colors, a more structural approach, which contrasts with the comparatively laid-back, yet somehow bolder performance given here. Both approaches are equally valid. Träumerai is performed with Horowitz's usual attention to detail.

Scriabin's ubiquitous Etude in D-Sharp Minor, a work open to many interpretations, is given a truly demonic performance here which threatens to run off the rails during its climax. Yet Horowitz manages somehow to hold the work together in this compelling recreation.

Horowitz was constantly revising his variations of the Gypsy Song from Carmen. Over the years this version seems to have become the most popular. Horowitz's revisions are less repetitive than in earlier versions, more inventive pianistically, and the overall approach is more relaxed.

This is one of three Horowitz videos which remain commercially unavailable (Horowitz's disastrous 1983 Tokyo concert has wisely been kept from distribution, the other is the 1978 White House recital, which CAN be obtained from the Jimmy Carter Library). Portions of the 1968 concert have been shown on various documentaries, and they offer a tantalizing glimpse of Horowitz in his late prime. Sony should aquire the video rights to this recital and release it on DVD immediately. No complaints about the sound.

My personal All Time Favorite.......1998-10-22

I first recorded this concert off our black and white TV in 1968, onto a reel to reel tape recorder, and have listened to copies of that tape probably 1000 times. Despite the poor fidelity and the intervening years, simply put, nothing else even comes close. Horowitz is the greatest pianist I have listened to, and this is one of his greatest, if not greatest concerts. It has an eternal quality found in very few other places in the world. Love it!

Excellent performance of rare treasures.......2002-01-19

Back before Scriabin went off into la-la-land and started composing the 'transcendant' music of the latter part of his too-short career, he composed a treasure-trove of fantastic miniatures for piano strongly influenced by Chopin. These early pieces are of the highest quality, and do not suffer from comparison to the works of his fellow-student Rachmaninoff, or for that matter those of Chopin himself. The music is melodic, fully developed, beautifully felt and elegantly structured. It is remarkable that these perfect gems of the romantic literature are not more widely known.

It is rare to find recordings of these pieces, and it is rarer still to find them performed with the combination of restraint and understanding presented here by Fergus-Thompson. The usual approach is lumpy, self-indulgent distortions of the music offered in some misguided attempt at 'romanticism'. Mr. Fergus-Thompson lets the music speak for itself. His phrasing and voicing are graceful and clear and they serve the music with respect and comprehension.

If you love the solo piano music of Chopin or Rachmaninoff and you are not yet familiar with early Scriabin, or indeed if you have recordings of these works which you find you cannot quite love, then this CD will open a window, or clear the view into an especially fine part of the Romantic literature.

Scriabin at His Best.......2007-03-02

Most pianists shy away from Scriabin - I feel not for technical difficulty but one has to make music from what might seem unmusical. The music seems fragmentary and unworkable often but other than a gifted few -Scriabin has few masters but now I can state in Gordon Fergus-Thompson hands Scriabin has found one who knows how to express all his music from the romantic to the exotic. Great technically ability is not only here but superlative music making that reveals the music's full glory. If you want to hear Scriabin's music - just listen to this album and it will become a great musical experience - there are very few pianists that can accomplish this feat in this music!
