Liszt-Horowitz Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 Horowitz Rec 1953

Liszt-Horowitz Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 Vladimir Horowitz Recorded in concert February 25,1953. During the 1930's and 40's Horowitz was considered to be one of the most "modern" pianists before the public. He performed, as did pianists such as Arthur Rubinstein, and conductors such as Arturo Toscanini, the classics literally and supposedly erased what some critics considered to be an accumulation of misinformed performance practice. However, when he was released from the box of academia, which Liszt hated, his pianistic soul was revealed as rooted in the preceding century.
