V. Horowitz - Impromptu No. 1, Op. 142 (F. Schubert) [1973] 

Oh, BOY was that good. The other Impromptus in the same '73 set, too. Horowitz seemingly always had to let you know just who is playing any piece. He always got HIS hands all over it (pun intended). But NOT in this case! It's just a spanking-good performance of Schubert's heavenly piece, perfect balance in the hands, bringing out the voices in the perfect proportions (something at which VH was always marvelous).

horowitz is the best.

After listening to Schubert specialists like Fisher, Kempf, Gieseking and couple of others I have to give my preference to the great Horowitz. Bravo!!

Este impromptu en fa menor es tan desgarradoramente bello....Os recomiendo oírselo a la Pires............

Siempre lo mismo

Admirable d'équilibre et de clarté! Merci.

the best.

Adoro ouvir Horowitz, " Tem pessoas que deveriam ser eternas " quando eu ouço este Improviso eu viajo, na segunda parte quando os acordes mais agudos começam a conversar com os acordes mais graves, parece Deus conversando com o homem, Deus com sua voz mais grave e mais imponente, e o ser humano, suplicando com sua voz mais fina e aguda, acredito que Schubert teve um momento divino de inspiração ao compor esta peça, e diga-se de passagem, Muito bem executada por Horowitz.

I think; Kempff.Brendel>Arrau,Sokolov,Horowitz

Wonderful! I also love the way Andras Schiff plays this beautiful piece!

maybe you also want to listen to Mr Brendel´s interpretations. They´re nice as well.
