The Sunday Musical Offering ~ Vladimir Horowitz Plays Rachmaninoff

A friend of mine played some Rachmaninoff for a social gathering the other night and it made me realize how much I truly enjoy this awesome musical master. The Sunday Musical Offering presents Vladimir Horowitz playing the Rachmaninoff Third Piano Concerto. This was the last recording Horowitz ever made of this concerto and maybe the last time he played it. The great virtuoso was 75 years old when this performance was given at Avery Fisher Hall in New York City. A young Zubin Mehta leads the forces of the New York Philharmonic. The year was 1978 and I was a junior in High School. That was a long time ago, but you never forget greatness.
