The Story
Vladimir Horowitz brings on this LP together some of the most powerful and poetic piano works from the Romantic era, all performed in New York City during the spring of 1962. Side A dives into "Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2". Horowitz brings out all the drama, beauty, and intensity you'd expect-and more. Side B brings you two of Rachmaninov's "Études-Tableaux" and Schumann's delicate and dreamy "Arabesque" and Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 19", played with flair and fire. It's a perfect snapshot of Horowitz in his prime.
