Wow. Did Eric Carmen steal that from Rachmaninoff?
Or was the bridge the Rachmaninoff?
Certain angle from behind make the keyboard look small... but you can see the delight in her face.
Wow. BEAUTIFUL phrasing. Most importantly....she looked as though she was having an absolute blast!
Horowitz is the master of Rachmaninoff.
Children cannot play soul music because they have not yet developedb deep soul. That comes from pain and suffering.
Romantic music is the original soul music.
Rachmaninoff got it right...and Horowitz did the best interpretation of it.
“All By Myself”
“Full Moon and Empty Arms”
“A Real Live Girl”
All lifted from this ONE magnificent piece of music. LOL
One of my all-time favorites.
(((She has nice phrasing)))
She reminds me of Barbara Dennerlein the way she smiles.

So a supposed “child prodigy” turns great music into soupy trash.
Though no great music lover as a math/science nerdy boy, I grew up on Rachmaninoff: My mother was classically trained, and played him, her favorite, every day. When she wasn’t playing him, she was playing Van Cliburn playning him.
Ironically, I am now a semi-professinal musician (choral, especially period a cappella. Life is strange.
Thanks for posting this. Beautiful.
I’m pleased that the underrated John Miles performed “All by Myself”. I became a fan of Miles from his work with The Alan Parsons Project.
It was my favorite classical piece as a child. I seem to remember that my mother said she saw Rachmaninoff play in San Francisco.
