@@TheNinindi The fact that you even mention Glenn Gould in the same sentence as Horowitz is a disgrace. One was a master and the other was a narcissistic score-ignoring music butcher that never shut up when he played and was an intentionally antagonistic blowhard who tried as hard as he could to have shockingly extreme opinions so people would listen to him drivel on about music written by people who were 100x better than him at both performing and composing. As the great Seymour Bernstein once said: "I have never heard Glenn Gould play a single beautiful phrase." and "his Mozart is a travesty." People get all emotional over this madman humming and singing and ruining each and every performance he ever gave in his entire life--whether he had 10 microphones in front of him or 10,000 people, you still got the same erratic piano performance accompanied by what sounded like a drunk guy singing karaoke. Don't even get me started on his gloves or his stool or his posture or his technique or his adultery or his preposterous undefendable opinions.

Some of Horowitz's recorings are so accurate and pure! The recording of the Ballade in F Minor I mentioned? There is another recording that is just pure gold!

@JohnnyStricklett yes, you're right, i generalized too much. chopin has a great range of compositions, and there are many great pianists that play his works wonderfully but polonaises and mazurkas are especially hard to interpret correctly for non-polish pianists. pollini is so good at them (imo of course) because he plays polonaises very neutrally, straight from the notes, he doesn't try to force his personal interpretation over notation and chopin's intentions.

@mx19idlewilder Ok, I admit that Horowitz doesn't capture the heroicism of this polonaise, but I seriously don't think you can make such a generalization of Horowitz's interpretation of chopins works overall. I've heard every single recording he has made of Chopin. I've noticed many of the youtube videos of him are full of self indulgences---have too much "Horowitz"---and chopin's intentions are overpowered, such as the video of him playing the 4th Ballade in F Minor. However, there are...

Why do pianists allow their hands to float or to fly off the keyboard? Is that style, playing with a flourish? Is it showing off, like I can hold my hand a foot from the keyboard and then resume this difficult piece without breaking a sweat, like riding a bike with no hands? At :25, for example, look how high his left hand is. It's not just incidental, and I don't think he needs to hold it so high to move it around the keyboard or to strike the next note(s) with force.

@JohnnyStricklett you know, horowitz is playing chopin a'la horowitz, not like chopin wanted his works to sound. he's very good pianist of course, but i don't like him as interpretor of chopin's works. the best interpretation of this polonaise is jan ekier's in my opinion. harasiewicz's, malcuzynski's, paleczny's and blechacz's are also very good ones. also czerny stefanska plays it very well (ekiers job...) but personally i dont like her. i also adore pollini's polonaises (for DG).

this is just my opinion, everybody interprets music, especially classical their way, but to me it just sounds emotionless, sort of played just for fun (as if he was just brushing up his chops). chopin was a technical genius and you have to be one to play his pieces but at the same time there has to be an emotional load put in by pianist, attitude which i personally did not feel listening to this version.

People who feel that interpretation boring should really spend +500 bucks for a nice headphone or powerful bass speaker and listen to a bunch of other interpretations first. Horowitz's interpretation is the best available so far. His tempo, dynamic range, musicality is almost perfect. His bass is super strong and warm. No other pianist has had the ability to produce such a super wide range of dynamic and rich tone color like him.
