A Taste of Classical

I started listening to Vladimir Horowitz since High School when my friends were listening to New Wave music. Although I loved and continue to listen to New Wave even now, not one particular band has touched my soul as Horowitz did. I can truly say that he has shaped my life. He was the first one, with the exception of Rubenstein with his Chopin Nocturne, to open my eyes to the piano music and how beautiful it can be. I was literally taken away by his playing of Schumann’s Kreisleriana 1969 recording and his playing of Arabesque. Although he's not with us anymore, I can still feel the warmth and passion.
