DVD Reviews of Horowitz in Moscow
DVD Review: Nostalgic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of Horowitz's last puplic perfomances. His playing is sublime (except for the last Chopin piece - polonaise- which he wrestled with a bit) and the occasion is made more poignant by the audiences reaction. An old man playing his beloved music for his homeland friends. Very moving. A must buy for devotees of Horowitz.DVD Review: A Giant at the Steinway
Summary: 5 Stars
Horowitz In Moscow is a must see & hear DVD of Horowitz's return to Moscow at the age of 82 in 1986. This is after 61 years of self-imposed exile. He plays Mozart, Scriabin, et al on his truck-a-long Steinway grand piano.
He is marvelous. As the photographer pans the audience during Schuman's Traumerei, a gentleman of indistinct years is shown in a stoic pose, with the exception of a tear falling off his cheek. Very moving.
Horowitz at 82 played as if he were a young man. I am not easily impressed, but I bought an extra copy to give to a friend.
DVD Review: Peerless recital. the return of the lavish son!
Summary: 5 Stars
Horowitz in Moscow is by far, one of the most renowned musical documents of the past century. It constitutes the return of this artist to his birthplace after 61 years.
The drama and the excitement aroused by the legendary master is visibly captured by the camera with vigorous undeniable expressiveness.
Don't miss one of the most transcendental musical returns of a true musical legend.
DVD Review: Great Moments In the History of Music
Summary: 5 Stars
A touching and hypnotic performance by one of the great pianists of our time. The between him and his audience was very touching.DVD Review: a great performance
Summary: 4 Stars
The great part of this DVD is Horowitz in concert. His mastery and artistry are incredible. The interview stuff isn't that important to me. I was mostly looking for a recording of his playing.
Description of Horowitz in Moscow
"Horowitz In Moscow" not only captures the drama and excitement of Horowitz's superb performance, it also includes the highlights of his return to his native land. The demanding program of Scarlatti, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Schubert, Liszt and Chopin was lovingly chosen by Mr. Horowitz as much for its personal meaning as for the historic significance of the composers whose works he performed. Intimate close-ups of Mr. Horowitz's agile hands are interspersed with cutaway shots to the faces in the audience, showing their emotional response. "Horowitz In Moscow" - the world's leading romantic pianist in his most magnificent, historic performance. Includes a 5.1 audio track and additional documentary footage not seen in the original U.S. television broadcast.General DVDs
