Description:

This is the first release in the "Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000". This recording has long been popular as a recordings of Vladimir Horowitz at the height of his powers in the 1940s and 1950s. It includes the Tchaikovsky Concerto, in which he literally dazzles with his virtuosity at Arturo Toscanini's fast tempo, and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, a live recording with a unique arrangement that is truly convincing.
