Vladimir Horowitz: The Studio Recordings - New York 1985
At age 82, Vladimir Horowitz felt he had a few more things to say--like a new interpretation of Schumann'sKreislerianaand first recordings of works like Schubert'sMarche militaire. Technically, age rarely showed in Horowitz's playing; interpretively, his age brought marvelous insights, as we hear on this fine program. The virtuoso is definitely at work here, but so is the "grand old master, in sovereign command of his resources."--David Vernier
