What does falling in love sound like...

November, [or] December 1962: CBS 30th Street Studio, New York City, New York (Studio) During his longest retirement from 1953 to 1965, he din't give any public concerts, but left quite a few recordings. Lastly for the two Beethoven sonatas in 1959, he briefly stopped recording. Three years later, in 1962, he visited the recording studio of CBS with very unique repertoire, including the last Hungarian Rhapsody, Consolation No. 2 by Liszt, Schumann's Arabesque, some Scarlatti sonatas and Scriabin. Scriabin's 2 Poèmes, Op. 32, is already a work where his unique harmony and style is starting to emerge. It was somewhat far from the popular favourite, unlike Études Op. 8 or Preludes Op. 11. Of personal interest, Horowitz performed some of the later Scriabin during the 1948-49 concert season, but he never recorded or performed them again in general recitals. Having found a new record label, Horowitz seemed to have gained more confidence. Some of them are not that very famous though, he picked and recorded some of his favorite pieces for his new album.
