Horowitz and Don Juan Fantasy
on: December 18, 2006, 12:26:43 PM
Does Horowitz ever record Liszt's Reminiscences de Don Juan? I was looking at a P2P client and I found this title with the name Horowitz. According to a Horowitz website, no recording of him exists.

The running time is 17:07. I downloaded it and it's quite nice. If it's not Horowitz, who do you think is the pianist?

I believe he never recorded it. I think he played it for his graduation recital and that was it.
Chuck Norris didn't lose his virginity- he systematically tracked it down and destroyed it.

A lot of times peer-2-peer stuff is mislabelled. I know I got excited when I thought I had found a recording of Horowitz playing Chopin op.25#12 because he said that it was a piece he could never get the way he wanted. Alas, it was definitely not Horowitz, though it wasn't bad. I would trust the website that lists all his recorded material.

I once downloaded a video which was supposed to be Volodos Liszt Sonata, but it was 90 minutes of Turkish porn instead :') .

Sigh... I downloaded Op. 25 No. 12 and it said it was Horowitz. Maybe it was mislabelled too. Thx anyway.

Is this a hack, or is the famously macho opus12 actually writing this?

He played all those works at just ONE concert??!! ???
It's about 2 hours and 30 minutes of pure music! Maybe he just applied all those works and then jury probably picked up several things...
