He makes Scarlatti sing, and even in these old recordings he makes the pedal sound as if it is breathing.

Vladimir Horowitz is one of the few pianists whose performances of Scarlatti truly honor the marvelous spirit of the music. Horowitz approaches these sonatas with the same heartfelt respect that he would give to Beethoven, Schumann, or Chopin. I have long believed that Scarlatti's sonatas possess real majesty that far too many pianists and harpsichordists fail to convey. The Scarlatti recordings by Horowitz are imbued with vitality and emotion that always moves me. Thank you for providing us with this wonderful recital.

I didn't think there were any recordings by Horowitz left I didn't know. How wonderful to hear his unique delicacy. (I have heard mention that there may in fact be x2 more Medtner fairytails in university archive somewhere. Very exciting thought.)

Phenomenal! The beauty, the natural simplicity, his smooth and seamless dynamics, the bell-like clarity of his sound, the singing legato, the transcendental virtuosity... Somehow I still can not imagine these sonatas being played by someone else, although I know that's probably unfair. Valid still after more than seventy yerrs.

Very unfair comment indeed given the fact t Volodja played on a heavily prepared piano. Pletnev, Pogorelich, Haskil and recently a few younger pianists can easily reach the same heights as Horowitz..on pianos unprepared by Franz Mohr.

Delightful. So much naturalness in his playing. A recording of Scarlatti sonatas by Maria Tipo from the '50s is another delight. The recording she made for EMI many years later is not at the same level.

@@Pogouldangeliwitz I am ashamed about never having paid any attention to Tipo’s Goldbergs until today. I am truly mesmerized by her understanding, immersion and virtuosity here. It’s the aural equivalent of looking at a restored old master painting. Or something similar. This is really a revelation to me and it goes to the very tippy top. And the beauty is just indescribable. Sorry if I am sounding over the top but THANK YOU for making me aware of this unique musical gift.

His interpretations in his 1960s studio recorded Scarlatti LP are an improvement on these performances. Crisper, more elegant and classically restrained yet with equal color and virtuosity. Too much of the Romantic/daemonic here.
