I will never forget this fragment of this documentary. He played a few bars of Rachmaninoff's second concerto, whereas he never played it in public or recorded it. But he did record the third concerto three times. Rachmaninoff said Horowitz played the third one better than he did himself.

This is from the movie the last Romantic in which she says that she only got her fathers profile and not his musical greatness. She may have been good but we can't really tell because she never played professionally or anything because she did not want the pressure of the high standard her father set.

Also he modulates from Minor to Phrygian (flamenco scale) in a couple of moments of the 1st and 2nd Symphonies which to the western ear may sound similar to the Double Harmonic. I truly love that touch.
