Moszkowski. About it
On October 26, 1986, an extraordinary event took place at Orchestra Hall in Chicago: Vladimir Horowitz, the renowned pianist, performed a previously unreleased concert, now available for the first time as a double album. The program included works by Scarlatti, Mozart, and Scriabin, complemented by compositions by Chopin and Schumann, appearing for the first time in the Horowitz discography on Deutsche Grammophon. As encores, Horowitz presented Schumann's Träumerei and Moszkowski's Etincelles. The album also includes two previously unreleased radio interviews with the artist. John von Rhein praised the 1986 concert as an evening full of lyrical nuances, clear pianism, and flawless legato, unmatched by any other pianist.
