A second chance to see the great Russian pianist in his much acclaimed television recital at Carnegie Hall in which he plays works by Chopin including the G minor Ballade Scarlatti, Schumann, Scriabin and Horowitz - his own technically astounding variations on a theme from Carmen.
In a career stretching over forty years Vladimir Horowitz has established himself as one of the finest pianists in the world-perhaps the finest. Yet his public appearances become increasingly rare with the years, and, when first broadcast, this recital marked his television debut. It is still the only such record of his playing.
