MUSIC
Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov Concertos
$15.62

About this product:
The concerto recordings that Horowitz made with his tyrannical father-in-law, Arturo Toscanini, are depressingly rigid, and others are disappointing in their currently available versions. APR's well-transferred pairing of these two concertos closely associated with Horowitz is, however, highly desirable. They're live recordings from 1940 and 1941, capturing him in full flight, playing with spontaneity, feverish energy, and stunning brio. --Dan Davis

Vladimir Horowitz: The complete solo European recordings, 1930-1936
$13.41

About this product:
Vladimir Horowitz's earliest recordings, believed by some to be his finest, have been reissued numerous times since their initial appearance over 70 years ago.

This latest reissue contains some classics. The Liszt Sonata has never been equaled and is a must for any serious collector, as is the Funerailles. It's hard to imagine in this day and age that Horowitz's version of Haydn's E-flat sonata was a world premiere recording, but indeed it was. Its relaxed elegance continues to charm, and it remains more musicologically "correct" than Horowitz's 1951 live version. Horowitz was also an early champion of Scarlatti, and the two sonatas here are among the first of "pure" Scarlatti. The pianist preferred his Bach "un-pure", and the Choral Prelude as transcribed by Busoni is a miracle of line separation and clarity. Horowitz's early foray into Beethoven, the 32 Variations in C minor, is more straightforward and successful than many of his later attempts with this composer

Horowitz's early Schumann, though technically impeccable, did not quite plumb the depths as in his later recordings. So much the better then, that the pianist limited himself to recording shorter works, including an Arabeske with unmatched legato, an effortless Toccata, and whimsical Traumeswirren. Originally intended as the finale for Schumann's G minor sonata, the Presto Passionato was rejected by the composer's wife as unplayable. Horowitz makes it sound like child's play. (The piece is marred, however, by a clumsily handled 78RPM side change. Of all the reissues I've heard of this recording, only Pearl's gets the side change right.)

Horowitz once referred to Chopin and "the only truly great composer for the piano" and he invariably included a selection of the Polish master's music in his recitals. The sampling here includes four technically impeccable Etudes, three Mazurkas, and a remarkably up-tempo Scherzo in E major. Also included is a structurally solid first movement from Chopin's b-flat Sonata, which was never completed due to Horowitz's first retirement. Had fate not intervened, this would have been one of the great recordings of the piece.

Horowitz also championed "modern" composers like Rachmaninoff, Poulenc and Prokofiev. It says much about the changing mores of performing that Horowitz (often condemned these days for violating composers' intentions) received nothing but praise from the many composers he knew personally. Prokofiev's Toccata, intended as a filler for Rachmaninoff's Third Piano concerto, was replaced at the last moment in favor of Rachmaninoff's G minor Prelude (a rather sloppy performance). The irony of the two Russian composers sharing an album could not have been lost on Horowitz, given how they disliked each other.

Though advertised as all new transfers from optimum sources, the remastering here sounds suspiciously like EMI's 1990s Horowitz issue (which would explain the bad side change in the Presto Passionato). The sound heavily favors the midrange, the highs are a bit capped, and the bass has very little depth. Unless you have your heart set on the Chopin Sonata movement and Prokofiev Toccata, go with the Pearl.

About this product:
From the DK's-like rumble riffage that drives "Don't Bother Me," to the raising-hell anthem "What Will the Neighbors Think?" Murphy's Law maintain a heady, adolescent rage--though quite frankly they look a bit long-in-the-tooth for that--topped-off with way-loud, stream-of-punk guitars guided spiritually by Fear and Black Flag. By now, we all know the know the drill. My family is screwed up ("Dysfunctional Family"), my future is screwed up ("The Plan") and my friends are screwed up ("Shut Up," "Don't Bother Me"). What to do when life is seemingly a never-ending kick in the groin? The Murphy's Law solution for tough times is lurking in songs like "Greenbud" and "Still Smokin'." Not exactly blazingly original, but it'll put the stopper in the bottle. --John Chandler
