Horowitz: A Digital Legacy5
This set includes all of the recordings Vladimir Horowitz did for Deutsche Grammophon in the 1980s, including his historical concert in Moscow.

While the context of his return in Moscow is moving, the studio recordings are simply wonderful. The sound quality is impeccable. The Steinway piano sounds warm but yet crisp and sharp. Horowitz still has plenty of power, and if you don't have a good sound system, you will notice that your speakers will literally fail, due to the overwhelming wall of sound that Horowitz creates in the intense parts.

The tender moments are just as exciting, as they are enhanced by the very quiet and clear digital recording process. Liszt's Standchen and Mozart's Piano Concerto No 23 are only two of a myriad of highlights contained on this boxed set. Having these high quality digital recordings of this piano legend is a blessing that you can't afford to miss. And at this price, it's simply irresistible.

For those of you with a larger budget, don't forget the complete masterworks recordings (1962-73) of Vladimir Horowitz on Sony Classical.

Horowitz - The Last Romantic5
I was fortunate enough to find this collection used for only 20 bucks, and I would easily pay more for it. This set contains the albums Horowitz at Home, Horowitz in Moscow, Horowitz plays Mozart, The Last Romantic, Horowitz the Poet, and the 1985 studio recordings. All of the music is superb and you will see it frequently released in Horowitz compilation cds. I highly recommend this collection for any Horowitz lover or as a collection to get into Horowitz.

HOROWITZ, celui à qui Dieu peut dire merci !5
Ce merveilleux coffret édité à prix doux chez D.G comble de bonheur ; Horowitz est habité par l'aisanece et la facilité ; tout semble simple en l'acoutant jouer ce répertoire qu'il maitrise à fond pour l'avoir interprété mendant tant d'années ; il est incomparable dans Mozart, Schumann, et dans ces sonates de Sacarlatti si difficiles à jouer en dépit de leur simplicité apparente. Son Chopin est bouleversant d'émotion, Liszt ne hurle pas ! Quelques pièces de Rachmaninov et Scriabin qu'il joue avec un tempérament si russe, si slave. Enfin le bonheur est total avec l'enregistrement du concert de Moscou : quelle émotion que d'entendre les silences de la salle contenue par autant de génie, pour des retrouvailles historiques.
Rien à dire sur les qualités techniques d'enregistrement ; c'est tout simplement parfait, mais les ingénieurs du son de chez D.G. devaient savoir à quoi s'attendre ! Enfin, pour l'anecdote, les audiophiles noteront une similarité indéniable sur le "son" proprement dit du piano du Maitre : celui de son propre Steinway qui le suivait, partout où il jouait. Une exigence de star bien comprise, dans notre intérêt et notre bénéfice exclusif.
