Horowitz In Moscow is a must see & hear DVD of Horowitz's return to Moscow at the age of 82 in 1986. This is after 61 years of self-imposed exile. He plays Mozart, Scriabin, et al on his truck-a-long Steinway grand piano.
He is marvelous. As the photographer pans the audience during Schuman's Traumerei, a gentleman of indistinct years is shown in a stoic pose, with the exception of a tear falling off his cheek. Very moving.
Horowitz at 82 played as if he were a young man. I am not easily impressed, but I bought an extra copy to give to a friend.

Rating: - Peerless recital. the return of the lavish son!
Horowitz in Moscow is by far, one of the most renowned musical documents of the past century. It constitutes the return of this artist to his birthplace after 61 years.

The drama and the excitement aroused by the legendary master is visibly captured by the camera with vigorous undeniable expressiveness.

Don't miss one of the most transcendental musical returns of a true musical legend.

A touching and hypnotic performance by one of the great pianists of our time. The between him and his audience was very touching.

Rating: - a great performance
The great part of this DVD is Horowitz in concert. His mastery and artistry are incredible. The interview stuff isn't that important to me. I was mostly looking for a recording of his playing.

Rating: - Great for pianists as well as music appreciators
My only gripe was the unnecessary hushing and shushing from the crowd during the opening number. Even that was only for a few seconds and the sound is great for the rest of the disk.
