Music reviews of Complete Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon [Box Set]

Music Review: Simply ravishing - but a better version has become available
Rating: 5 Stars

The Vladimir Horowitz who emerged from retirement in 1985 was a very different pianist and musician than the one who had disappeared in 1983. Long gone were the leonine fortissimos and hysteria of the 1940s; also purged was the eccentricity that became a dominating factor in the 1970s; Horowitz had replaced these with a new balance and simplicity. He was never a puritan thank goodness, but "controlled freedom" (as Harold Schonberg phrased it) became the hallmark of the playing of Horowitz's last few years.

The highlights of this set are too numerous to list in toto, but a few standouts are 1985's Kreisleriana, much of the Moscow recital, Mozart's Sonatas K. 281 and 333, and the Schubert-Liszt works - especially Standchen, which may well be Horowitz's best post-1980 recording. Other recordings fall into a middle ground: Mozart's K. 330 Sonata (the live 1986 slightly preferable to the dryish 1985 version), and the K. 488 Concerto with Giulini (demoted from a top recommendation due to the non-descript, tonally un-alluring orchestra). Schubert's D. 960 Sonata, rejected by Horowitz and issued posthumously, is a fussy, contrived performance that should have remained in the vault as the pianist wished.

Unavoidably, in view of the varying locations, the quality of recorded sound varies - from the constricted, dry sonority of The Last Romantic to the atmospheric quality of the 1985 Studio Recordings. Most occupy a middle ground - clearly focused, but far from the "microphone in the piano" sound of RCA's late 1970s recordings.

Potential buyers should be aware that, for relatively little extra cost, a newer version of this compilation is available that includes the 1987 Hamburg recital (Horowitz's last) and a few bonus tracks.
