Avery Fisher Hall, New York, 1978
Vladimir Horowitz - Piano
Zubin Mehta - Conductor
Horowitz was 75 years old in this recording and this was the last time he recorded Rachmaninoff's third piano concerto and maybe even the last time he performed it.

Horowitz is one of the all-time greats, and although I'm a pianist, there's no way I could ever play this concerto. Having said that, Vladimir makes a bunch of clams in this finale. I'm spoiled by hearing this piece played flawlessly by pianists like Yefim Bronfman, Emanuel Ax, Yuja Wang, etc. The bar is pretty high these days...

I remember being totally under the spell of this performance when I was a teenager, and I rediscovered it about a year or two ago, and was also surprised how many mistakes (or, more often, just lack of precision) I never seemed to notice all those years ago. Now, I also have never attempted to learn this piece, nor do I anticipate doing so in time to perform it at the age of 75; I don't know how much room for comment I warrant in that context.

@maximilianb.8789 7 ай бұрын

I don‘t really think, that this is what this performance is about. He plays it absolutely flawless in his younger recordings. The man is rocking this concerto at 75 here. I think its more about what it says about musik in general: „The last romantic“ plays one of the last large romantic piano concertos, where even the composer was impressed by Horowitz playing. I think thats more the emotional value of his playing. Listen to his younger recordings and you‘ll finde (IMO) the best Rach 3 performances, with alle the technical brilliance we‘re used to.

I saw Olga Kern perform Rach 3 in Nashville years ago, and that ending utterly overwhelmed me to the point of almost hyperventilating. I sat for the longest time with my hands over my face, trying to regain my composure, as others got up and calmly left the theater. I don't understand how anyone can hear something like this live and feel nothing special. Rachmaninoff was not of this earth. I don't know where he came from, but I want to live there, forever! I recently traveled through Knoxville and stopped to visit a statue of Rachmaninoff on the campus of the University of Tennessee, commemorating his last recital, just weeks before he died. The date was April 1st, 2023 - the 150th anniversary of his birth.

Great finale. But personally, I think the Rach 2 finale is more thrilling, more satisfying, and just more sublimely arranged. (And I thought the thumbnail music for this video was actually the Rach 2, which is why I clicked haha.) The callback to the opening glissando passage, and then glittering cascades that hang in the silence, right before the huge melody reprises with timpani and the entire orchestra swelling in unison, while the piano plays those majestic chords over it all... and then that final dazzling series of runs at the end? It's the best Rachmaninoff finale he ever wrote.

Of the two though, Rachmaninoff's is just more complex and next-level in terms of pianistic technical demand.

personally, i care more about the sound rather than the clipped mistakes and the thing that draws me to Horowitz is his large sound. Maybe it could just be the recording, but I still think it's the best interpretation of the dozens I've heard. Yes, Martha Argerich is old which is probably one of the reasons why she doesn't play this concerto anymore. So I do still believe it's impressive for him to play this work at his age, not to mention the same year his daughter died and his performances and mental health took a toll. Either way, thank you for your comment.
