Horowitz is still the world's most exciting pianist...
...pianist is luckier than a singer. He can go on performing as long as his fingers maintain their strength and coordination. At 73, Vladimir Horowitz seems to be just as brilliant as when he first played the U.S. exactly 50 years ago. Last week in New York, the famed Ukrainian-born virtuoso celebrated the anniversary of that debut with some of the most electrifying music-making ever heard in Carnegie Hall, a hall that has had its share of excitement over the years...
...Sonata in C sharp minor Op. 27, no. 2. In a more modern vein, the New England Woodwind Quintet performs works of Villa-Lobos, Barber and Janacek, as well as Haydn, on Wednesday, January 25, at Longy.

Liszt: Annees de Pelerinage (Pianist Lazar Berman, Deutsche Grammophon; 3 LPs). More product, to borrow the record-company jargon, from the pianist who burst out of Russia two years ago and has been a one-man industry ever since. The less said about Berman's Schumann the better: he simply does not feel the music. No problems with the Rachmaninoff. Here is the fabled Berman technique operating with all its power, speed and subtlety...
