It's a nice performance but for some reason, whenever someone plays a horowitz transcription they hold back on the bass notes and don't create the huge crashing sound he was so famous for. I feel like that's half the fun of a horowitz piece

well wouldn't that depend on the piano itself? And also the player but all these performers are more than capable of a booming sound

Aidan - In fairness, the piano that Li is playing on is probably more than capable of a booming sound. I think Alan is criticizing pianists who neglect these details that Horowitz included in his performances, which are gold standards in regards to his arrangements. This is not to say that everyone should try to play like Horowitz, but it is a little strange that no one seems to accentuate this detail that was characteristic of Horowitz. I’ve had similar thoughts about some people who play Cziffra’s arrangements.

Many pianists tried to make the Horowitz sound even on the same piano he used to play at a dealership, they all failed - I heard something like this from Ohlssohn

@@geuros I've seen musicians play on Horowitz's piano in my lifetime, and they all sound like Horowitz. (It sounds like a thump and a bomb falling in the bass..) Of course, there was a difference in tone from Horowitz, but..

This actually sounds a lot like the style of late Rachmaninoff

Not really. Rachmaninoff's mature style isn't as thick or virtuosic. Horowitz's harmonies are somewhat similar, but his writing and pianism is completely different. I argue that Horowitz's Variations aren't as sophisticated. Both are great though

@@SCRIABINIST You are right, but they were both contemporaries (for much of their lives), friends, and brought-up in the Russian school. There are similarities, even though all your points hold, and as you elude to: Rachmaninoff's earlier style was different, and perhaps has a little similarity to this.
