Music reviews of Horowitz in Moscow

Music Review: No One Rocked Chopin like Horowitz
Rating: 5 Stars

I was driving some snowbird's Cadillac from Miami to NYC via driveaway-truckaway back in the late 80's. I drove up A1A past the Kennedy mansion(s) and the PGA golf course West Palm... I dipped in St. Augustine, gave a quick shout out to my folks in the Bible Belt, got lost at a turn off in DC... Took a quick nap off the NJ Turnpike. All the while I had no idea of where this latest trek of my annual pilgrimage would end.

I arrived at the parking garage of an apartment building on the upper east side; parked the vehicle where instructed, and took the elevator up to the residence so that the car could be inspected for damage and I could get my deposit back. A butler answered the door and invited me into the foyer... "Whoa".

Before me stood two beautiful shiny black Baby Grand Pianos back to back and opened. On the wall was a photo of the man himself. A moment later an elderly couple came into the room. The gentleman held a check out to me. I totally freaked. "MR. HOROWITZ!" "NO WAY!" I grabbed his delicate hands into mine and held them. "I can't believe this... I love you!" Mr. Horowitz and his wife (and the butler's) facial expression went from terror to delight, thankfully.

I had a million things to tell him, and little time. I explained how I watched him playing Chopin on PBS when I was a little girl, with my older cousin Carol, who went from gospel piano to classical and a scholarship to Julliard's because of the way Horowitz inspired her playing Chopin's nocturnes with such soul; just like gospel has so much soul. I told him that my oldest grandfather made his sole living as a jazz pianist and even in the last stages of Alzheimer's when he knew no one around him, and could no longer head the senior band in his Poconos community, several times a day in the senior home he always went straight to the piano and played like a pro. I told him that my grandfather always said music was his first and only true love.

I told Mr. Horowitz that as a student in my day, NYC Public schools had the money and committment to take us to Carnegie, the Met-Ops, Guggenheim, Broadway shows, etc. which continued my interest in the arts, and that I've seen people play classical live in many halls around the world since, but no one did Chopin justice like Mr. Horowitz, in my opinion.

Mr. Horowitz and his wife indulged me, perhaps because I wasn't from the usual gallery of admirers and visitors. I hugged them both before leaving and shook the wonderful butler's hand. Mr. Horowitz, a fragile elderly man, poised between those two big beautiful Baby Grand's struck me as David conquering Goliath. I wasn't bold enough to ask if he would play a quick sonata, (but it did cross my mind).

Elated, I jumped on the subway to my lower east side NY residence; had some kasha varnishkas with mushroom gravy at Odessa's where I told my friends all about my big adventure. I should have never cashed that deposit check, but I was too young and broke after my slow ride up the east coast. A few months later, I listened to Horowitz tapes on my walkman and reminisced while in Warsaw at the memorial park with the monument dedicated to Chopin (Lazienki Park, I believe) and I thought how cool life is when you just live it.
