	classical music - andante - vladimir horowitz: piano
		For much of his career, Vladimir Horowitz was perhaps the most influential pianist in the world.
		He was an idol to several generations of musicians (among them William Kapell, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Murray Perahia), as well as to a huge general audience, which he fascinated with dazzling pyrotechnics and an impeccably calibrated command of dynamics that ranged from the most ethereal of pianissimos to a veritable Niagara of sound.
		Horowitz was generally more direct in the music of Mendelssohn, and the 1946 recording of the Variations sérieuses is among his best — tightly structured yet never wanting for poetry.

	Review: Vladimir Horowitz Performs Rachmaninoff, Concerto No. 3. Ormandy/NYPO
		Horowitz has been holding back this concerto for twenty-five years, and doesn't want to let it go; each note is imbued with urgency and passion - flowing from Horowitz' fingers like so many precious gems and gold pieces.
		Two examples of this are the simple, eloquent flute solo coming off the heels of Horowitz' cadenza in the first movement, and the undercurrent of the lower strings in the second (Intermezzo: Adagio) over which Horowitz conjures from his famed Steinway the entire range of his vast pianistic emotion.
		Yet, when Horowitz explodes into flurries of chordal progression and crescendi, the Philharmonic brings in the air support he needs to pull off this concerto of massive and heroic proportions.
