    Don’t like this performance at all. The piece is a combination of virtuosity AND lyricism. Horowitz just uses it as a vehicle for his steely fast fingers. It actually has the effect of being irritating half way through. Alicia de Larrocha and many
    others play it far better.

    The 1932 version is better, imo.

    Of course -- same school. And his technique is
    better than Volodya's.
