:dong:

“First-ever release in any format of this momentous musical event! In 1987, Vladimir Horowitz, the last of the keyboard titans of the 20th century, made a triumphant European tour, giving what turned out to be his final series of performances before an adoring public. The very last of these concerts, on June 21 in Hamburg, was recorded by the North German Radio. Apart from a single encore, no part of this valedictory concert has ever been issued before. This recording constitutes a unique souvenir of Horowitz’s final public appearance, where the sense of occasion and immediacy is palpable. Horowitz included three signature works on his final program: Schumann’s enchanting Scenes from Childhood (source of one of his favorite encores, the immortal Träumerei), Chopin’s monumental “Heroic” Polonaise, and one of his most glittering encores, Moszkowski’s Étincelles. Over a career lasting nearly seven decades, Horowitz’s recordings have sold over three million units and won 25 Grammy® Awards (six for his Deutsche Grammophon titles)”

25 grammys is ridiculous. But the grammy’s are a joke anyway. I bet he’s the only pianist any of them had heard of.

3 million copies for the entire career.

:open_mouth:

hahah LEGENDARY.

The world sucks, I’ve come to accept that. But still, think about the many pianists who were as good as him but didn’t have a tenth of the career.

25 GRAMMYS? WTF

Richter got 1.

Neither should have gotten any.

The grammies are as valid indicators of merit as a “World’s Greatest [Dad, Grandson…]” mugs.

True enough.
