Extractions: When I asked him about the role of spontaneity in his performances, for which he was well known, he replied, "The most important thing is to have a very clear intention. There is a German word Auffassung - it can only be inadequately translated as 'conception' - that is the most important thing. To have Auffassung is to have a conception of the spirit of the music. And when you have a large framework of conception, you can leave smaller details to the spur of the moment. Sometimes it is a question of color. I know the color of each section, but the exact shade is better left to the inspiration of the moment." In an age when musicians expressed their distinct and often instantly recognizable personalities in their performances, Horowitz deplored musical competitions. "I am strictly against comparison in art or music. They are not a boxing match. There can be no winner. I think there are many valid interpretations for a single piece of music. But the trouble today is a sameness, a lack of personality. This is the best way to tell you what I mean by personality." Quoting the words of Liszt he read the following: For the virtuoso, musical works are in fact nothing but tragic and moving materializations of his emotions: he is called upon to make them speak, weep, sing and sigh, to re-create them in accordance with his own consciousness. In this way he, like the composer, is a creator, for he must have within himself those passions that he wishes to bring so intensely to life. "You see, playing the piano is a combination of Brain, Heart and Means. And all three should be even. If one falls short of the others, the music suffers. Without Brains, you are a fiasco. Without Means, you are an amateur. Without Heart, you are a machine. It has its dangers, this occupation."
Extractions: I have heard the future of Rachmaninoff pianists. His name is Jean-Yves Thibaudet. I've been aware of him being lauded as a great interpreter of Rachmaninoff, but have shied away from even listening to one of his recordings for a few years, because I feared the letdown would be too great, should he not live up to expectations (my breaking point came a couple of years ago, when I started hearing about this "wonderful new pianist, David Helfgott." I bought his CD of Rachmaninoff's Third Psycho That spiel off my chest; now back to Thibaudet: His understanding of Rachmaninoff is totally intuitive Thibaudet's performance of the Fourth Concerto exemplifies this observation. A very difficult piece to perform properly, this is the most satisfying recording I've heard of it, aside from the composer's own. Although the Fourth is generally thought of as a "heavy" concerto (especially as performed by Rachmaninoff and Ormandy), Thibaudet's touch is the very essence of light. He does not play with as heavy a hand as his accompanist, Vladimir Ashkenazy, did in his excellent 1984 recording with Bernard Haitink and the Concertgebouw Orchestra. Even the chordal progressions towards the end of the first movement

Extractions: Domenico Scarlatti, Horowitz Plays Scarlatti [Vladimir Horowitz, piano] (Sony Music Entertainment, 2003) Vladimir Horowitz says in the booklet accompanying this CD that "many think of [Scarlatti's] music as mostly fast, light, and requiring only articulation and dexterity." Horowitz, of course, is one of the legendary pianists of the twentieth century, and is one who was investigating the music of Domenico Scarlatti before most musicians were aware of him. The present compilation, a reissue of works recorded by Horowitz in the 1960s, presents some twenty of the 555 harpsichord sonatas that Scarlatti wrote. I have to confess to a slight bias, partly due to a purist streak in my make-up, and partly due to the memory of a collection of the sonatas that I have on LP, recorded by the equally legendary Ralph Kirkpatrick: I much prefer them on the harpsichord. Part of this is simply technical; the sonatas were written for the harpsichord (although Scarlatti's approach was extraordinarily sophisticated), which, because it is plucked, has a much crisper, cleaner attack and, while articulation is not the only requirement in Scarlatti's sonatas, it is an important one. There is also what was perhaps an unconscious bias on Horowitz' part he was, after all, one of the great interpreters of the Romantic repertoire, and so tended to approach music with a fluid grace that is not always appropriate to earlier works. The piano also has a much wider range, both dynamically and in terms of "orchestral color" than the harpsichord, which necessarily affects interpretation.

Extractions: Horowitz competition winners tour eastern United States by Ika Koznarska Casanova PARSIPPANY, N.J. - Six outstanding young pianists from Ukraine and the U.S., winners of the second Vladimir Horowitz International Young Pianists' Competition held in Kyiv in April, appeared recently in a series of concerts. They were presented by the Morris International Festival of the Arts, whose founder and artistic director is Alexander Slobodyanik, in a concert hosted by the County College of Morris in Randolph, N.J., on October 19. They also performed in Philadelphia at the Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center on October 21; the Sumner School Museum in Washington on October 23 under the sponsorship of The Washington Group Cultural Fund, (Laryssa Lapychak Chopivsky, director); and at the New England Conservatory in Boston on October 25. The pianists will return to the U.S. on April 9, 1998, for a concert at Carnegie Hall. The Vladimir Horowitz International Young Pianists' Competition was founded in 1995 by the Gliere State College of Music in Kyiv on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of Horowitz's birth. The competition's founder and director is Yuri Zilberman, a native of Kharkiv and the school's assistant-director. Among the co-sponsors of the competition are the Kyiv Conservatory, the Ministry of Culture and Arts of Ukraine, and the Kyiv Municipal Administration. The competition bears the name of the legendary pianist who was born, studied and performed in Kyiv.
Greg Sandow -- Rachmaninoff 3d Comparisons You can hear six pianists play the same passage. Poor David Helfgott got anF; vladimir horowitz got an A, for his version with Fritz Reiner conducting. http://www.gregsandow.com/rach3.htm
Extractions: This all started with a "Consumer Guide" I wrote for the Village Voice, New York's big alternative weekly. I listened to 17 recordings of this suddenly popular concerto, and wrote 17 quick paragraphs, with a grade attached to each one. Poor David Helfgott got an F; Vladimir Horowitz got an A, for his version with Fritz Reiner conducting. (Though a later Horowitz release, a live performance with Eugene Ormandy, only got C+.) You can read this adventure, right here on this site. Much later and by a happy coincidence I was asked to write about the concerto once again, this time for the Los Angeles Times. In fact, I was asked to defend it against critical attacks, which I was happy to do. The more I listened to it, for my Voice consumer guide, the more I loved it. And I enlisted two very articulate pianists to help me defend it Alexander Toradze, and Byron Janis.

Volodyia is, in fact, a renowned Steinway concert grand piano which Shank, an artist teacher of piano, piano pedogogy and piano technology, considers to be an extraordinary musical instrument. Some of the world's greatest pianists would agree. When master pianists are taken with a piano after playing it, they may sign their name on its cast iron plate. Among the legends whose autographs appear on Volodyia are Vladimir Horowitz, Arthur Rubin-stein and Van Cliburn."Volodyia" is a Russian nickname for Vladimir, as in Horowitz. Shank finds it fitting that the piano would be named after the master pianist because it reminds him of Horowitz's sonority, in that it's "very brilliant and powerful with a very large dynamic range."
