For nearly six decades, Vladimir Horowitz’s career was intertwined with the history of Carnegie Hall. His 1928 debut with the New York Philharmonic was just the prelude to an astonishing recital career that included his triumphant 1965 comeback from a 12-year performing hiatus for which—in the pre-electronic ticketing age—all seats sold out in two hours.
Although his final recital at Carnegie Hall happened in 1985, his final appearance was during a gala concert to celebrate the Hall’s reopening after seven months of renovation in 1986.
Many are aware that Horowitz had his Carnegie Hall recitals recorded for his own purposes, and since his death, a small body of his performances has been made available here in "Vladimir Horowitz--The Private Collection".
Russian born, American classical pianist. Considered one of the greatest pianists of all time, he was known for his virtuoso technique, timbre, and the public excitement engendered by his playing. Vladimir Horowitz
