Our Take

Vladimir Horowitz takes on the iconic Lisztsonata in B Minor in this electrifying and mind-bending performance that will leave you questioning the limits of human capability. Horowitz, known for his dazzling technical prowess and fiery passion, immerses himself in the complex emotions and technical demands of this monumental Liszt piece with unwavering intensity.

From the striking opening chords to the breathtakingly virtuosic passages, Horowitz navigates the tumultuous waters of the Sonata with masterful precision and unparalleled flair. His interpretation is both grandiose and intimate, drawing the listener into a world of musical sophistication and sheer brilliance.

The sheer power and dynamism of Horowitz's playing is truly a sight to behold, as he effortlessly tackles the dizzying runs and thunderous chords that define this monumental work. His fingers fly across the keys with a fluidity and agility that is truly awe-inspiring, leaving no doubt that he is a true master of his craft.

In the hands of a lesser pianist, Liszt's Sonata in B Minor could easily descend into chaos, but Horowitz's expert touch and profound understanding of the piece ensure that every note is delivered with the utmost clarity and intention. This is a performance that demands your attention and rewards it tenfold, making it a must-listen for any lover of classical music. Vladimir Horowitz may be gone, but his legacy lives on in performances like this one, reminding us all of the enduring power of music to move and inspire.
