Music reviews of Horowitz in Hamburg: The Last Concert
Music Review: An Important Memento
Rating: 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.
Description of Horowitz in Hamburg: The Last Concert
First-ever release in any format of this momentous musical event! In 1987, Vladimir Horowitz, the last of the keyboard titans of the 20th century, made a triumphant European tour, giving what turned out to be his final series of performances before an adoring public. The very last of these concerts, on June 21 in Hamburg, was recorded by the North German Radio. Apart from a single encore, no part of this valedictory concert has ever been issued before. This recording constitutes a unique souvenir of Horowitz's final public appearance, where the sense of occasion and immediacy is palpable. Horowitz included three signature works on his final program: Schumann's enchanting Scenes from Childhood (source of one of his favorite encores, the immortal Tr?umerei), Chopin's monumental "Heroic" Polonaise, and one of his most glittering encores, Moszkowski's ?tincelles. Over a career lasting nearly seven decades, Horowitz's recordings have sold over three million units and won 25 Grammy? Awards (six for his Deutsche Grammophon titles)Mazurkas CDs
