Appendix VI  Horowitz Live Recordings

The table below is a summary of Horowitz live recordings. These were commercially released and available by CD, which are listed by the chronologic order. I strongly believe that the live recordings are the best way to approach Horowitz and learn his piano performance. In the live recordings, you hear some wrong notes. Nevertheless, it delivered great excitements away beyond the studio recordings, and you feel such emotional sensation. Wrong notes are the only secondary events. We could experience the best performance and artistic quality of Horowitz piano performance from the live recordings. As often the case, most of the live recordings released by Major Labels were partially edited. In such case, it was marked with “#” (for example, RCA #). For the repertory listing, please refer to “Concertography” within The HOROWITZ Website.
