Shamefully, one of my favorite Ho recs is his perf of his own Danse Excentrique. I love that Golliwog ripoff.
Itās beautiful.
The early stuff had a unique light, elegant effortlessness
ahahahaha diz a klazzik religiouz queztion
fo worzhippin mofoz who hate to c deir godz die
tiz mo rizky to worzhip objectively meazurable mofoz lyk da DOC, becuz deir achievementz dun uzually hold up well againzt da harzh progrezz of hiztory
tiz much eaziah to worzhip a zubjectively wikid mofo lyk da HO becuz hiz gensui work in myzteriouz wayz. cant be meazhaed, cant be zurpazzed
howevah, dere iz one objectively meazhable n indizputable fact about da
He haff given da zingle worzt pro penizt rectal in recorded hiztory
Itz very cloze for me, da Ho lezz conziztent create zome incredible recz but alzo sometimez mizzez da mark by a lot
while Doc nevah produced anything super inzightful but nevah mazzacre anything like da Ho did
Which ones missed the mark by a lot?
Apart from da deprezzing 1982 recz, Iām not fond of Hoāz Beethoven and Chop
When I was first starting out, I had immense joy every time I found a Horowitz CD at the store, especially when the CD wasnāt something carried at the big retailers. Like the CD with the Liszt Paganini Etude. I have never, ever had that feeling when encountering a Hamelin recording on the store shelves.
Mind you, I like Hamelin. But they just arenāt comparable for this listener.
I guezz the bezt way to put it iz; Doc can make any wild piece zound pedeztrian, Ho can make any pedeztrian piece zound wild
Just compare them even in the first ten bars of something like Standchen. Quite possibly you might not agree with da interp, but doc sounds like a plodding student in comparison to an artist.
HAHAHAHA FUCKKKKKK
