Free Music Review: An Important Memento Hit: 4 Stars
Vladimir Horowitz is one of the greatest pianists to ever live. For pianists who embrace things pianistic in the repertoire, he is immortal. For those whose credo is different, he often is still a huge force to be reckoned with. Therefore, listening to his last public performance is an act practically required of a musician who finds it important to follow this fascinating career and life completely to the end. Horowitz's musical ideas, his inspirations, and the tone he brings from the piano are present, full-force, in this recital, and much of his playing is less mannered and more to-the-point than his other renditions of these same works. In addition to that, he is more tired, weaker, stiffer, and less accurate than other late performances I have heard. Whether you are new to Horowitz, or have eagerly sought out every note he has played for many years, buy this disc as an hommage to an immortal, and become acquainted with his other recordings of the same repertoire. This great pianist has had an effect on virtually every artist who has heard him.
