After the overwhelming success of Vladimir Horowitz live at Carnegie Hall, Sony
Classical presents Vladimir Horowitz: The Unreleased Live Recordings. This
edition takes you on tour with the legendary pianist from his home town of New
York to the great halls of the USA, from New Haven to Chicago, Washington D.C.,
Philadelphia, Boston and beyond.

2015 marks a half-century since Vladimir Horowitz's return to the concert stage
on May 9, 1965 after a twelve-year absence, reaffirming his status as an iconic
pianist who mesmerized audiences and fellow musicians alike throughout his long
and turbulent career.

Every time Horowitz walked on stage, a palpable sense of anticipation and
excitement filled the air. His singular virtuosity, bottomless palette of colors
and nuances, and ability to gauge the acoustics of a hall for maximum impact
created a communicative bond between himself and his public that made every
performance unique from moment to moment, and he never played a piece the same
way twice. Whenever possible, Columbia and RCA taped Horowitz in concert. The
recordings provided the basis for commercial releases approved by the pianist
during his lifetime. These recitals have now been painstakingly restored to
their complete, unedited state from the best possible source material. Most of
the original tapes were stored, untouched in Sony's Iron Mountain archives, and
sound as vibrant and lifelike as they did to those lucky audience members
fortunate enough to be present.
