When Germany surrendered and the second world war was over, it is said that soviet radios, not knowing what to play, played this piece, which was heard all over the silence of the soviet union. Many of these people were probably remembering this bittersweet moment, where a piece depicting “children’s scenes” was played over the destruction of the war. It is an irony that the soviets played a piece from a german composer, yet I believe that this proves that music doesn’t have borders.

Best ever. Nobody came close thus far, Thank you Vladimir. Rest in Peace.
-
This was his performance when he returned to Soviet after 60 years. This piece is written by Schumann in retrospect of his childhood. What a scene.
-
1:28 Such beautiful and moving moment when tears roll along his face!
-
A most respectful audience. Not one cough or sneeze, you could literally hear a pin drop. Horowitz cast a spell on the people and took them to who-knows-where in their imaginations. His gentle shrug as the last notes fade is so sweet. An exquisite and moving performance!

I'll always remember Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes talking about this Horowitz concert in Moscow. Rooney was commenting on the political differences of the Cold War era and all the tensions that were felt, and then contrasted that with the sharing of a sense of humanity around the globe. When the camera caught the vision of that Soviet man listening at 1:27, Rooney said that he recognized the tear that was rolling down the fellow's cheek - it was the same tear that was rolling down his.

Oh my god. I have heard numerous other pianists but there happens to be no match to this play. Touching!

-
Tears every time I listen to this performance. Astonishing.
-
Great you could hear a pin drop. No coughing. Amazing.

I used to play piano, träumerei was my favourite to play. When I lived in Paris the admission of horowitz in moscow was with me, it helped when I felt homesick.
-
One of my all time favorites, that I play almost on a daily basis myself. Wonderful piece.
-
This performance is one of my favorite and most treasured musical performances.
-
How can you speak with your hands so lyrically. Greatest pianist who ever lived.
-
Beautiful interpretation. The only piece that I know of which Horowitz plays and so can I. 🎼🎹
-
A very beautiful piece played perfectly. So lovely - from heaven! Thank you.

I sit with bated breath as the music starts the piano plays, there is a hush, a silence, no one is breathing it seems, not a sound the music is hauntingly beautiful, my soul is enraptured at its loveliness. The music stops. I haven’t moved. I play it again. I was less than ten years old the first time I heard my mother playing this on our piano.

He's as still as a windless day when he plays. That lets the music sing!

그리움속의 풍경들이 눈앞에 그려지는 호르비츠의 연주는 향수 눈물이 나네요

He breathes with each note, so logical, so perfect, so human.....and we also breath with each note ☺
