Sixty years ago on May 9th 1965, Vladimir Horowitz returned to the Carnegie Hall stage for his first public concert in twelve years. The legendary pianist's historic return made headlines all over the world, and revealed that his unique mastery and galvanic virtuosity were as potent and formidable as ever.
For this episode of Between the Keys, Jed Distler explores Horowitz's long association with Carnegie Hall and the events that led up to his return to concertizing, featuring archival recordings from private rehearsals and interviews, plus commercially released live and unedited performances.
Tune in to Between the Keys this Friday at 3:00 PM, with the rebroadcast Saturday at 6:00 PM, exclusively on The Classical Network and WWFM.org.
