About This Item
Horowitz: His Life and Music, Schonberg, Harold C. Published by Simon & Schuster, New York, U.S.A., 1992. First Edition. 8vo up to 9½" tall. 428 pages, blacl and white photo section, 4 appendixes of indexes to Horowitz 's recordings and a discography. Quarter grey cloth over brown boards; gilt spine titles. Volume in fine condition; clipped jacket is otherwise fine.
For former New York Times music critic Schonberg, romantic pianist Vladimir Horowitz (1904-1989) was this century's "most potent and electrifying virtuoso," and also a neurotic genius. This full portrait of Horowitz's life and music benefits particularly from hitherto unpublished anecdotes and information that derive from a series of taped interviews the author conducted with Horowitz toward the end of his life. Here is Horowitz the man, the musician, the icon, and even the raconteur.
