Vladimir Horowitz idézet

Vladimir Horowitz orosz zongoraművész.

A 20. század egyik legkiemelkedőbb zongoraművésze; az ő színre lépésével nagyban átalakult a zongorázás egésze; elképesztő virtuozitásával, játékának tónusával sokat formált a zenei gondolkodáson is. Wikipedia

Vladimir Horowitz: Idézetek angolul

“I liked him [Arthur Rubinstein] as a pianist. He was a good musician and had a fantastic repertoire. He never had a great technique, but certain things he played well. I heard him play some of the Chopin etudes, the easier ones with great panache and I told him I had never heard them played better. He said, "Do you mean it?"”

and I said, "Yes, I do mean it."
quoted in Harold C. Schonberg, Horowitz: his life and music

“I was impressed mostly by Gieseking [Horowitz said in 1987]. He had a finished style, played with elegance, and had a fine musical mind.”

quoted in Harold C. Schonberg, Horowitz: his life and music

“I heard Edwin Fischer, who did not mean much to me. I heard another pianist in Berlin who had a big success and I thought he was awful — Mischa Levitzki. Just fingers, and you cannot listen only to fingers. There is a difference between artist and artisan. Levitzki was an artisan. But Ignaz Friedman, who I admired, was a great artist. He had wonderful fingers and a very personal, individual way of playing, even if some of his ideas were very strange to me. He had no hesitation touching up the music. I got annoyed with him at one concert when he changed the basses in Chopin's F minor Ballade. I didn't like that. For some reason he was happier making records than he was on the stage.”

quoted in Harold C. Schonberg, Horowitz: his life and music

“Of the Russian pianists I like only one, Richter. Gilels did some things well, but I did not like his mannerisms, the way he moved around while he was playing.”
