In 1986, the legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz, who left his homeland 61 years ago, announced that he would return to the Soviet Union for the first time since 1925 to give recitals in Moscow and Leningrad. This sensational historic recital from Moscow includes works by Sergei Rachmaninoff and Alexander Scriabin, whom Horowitz knew both, Domenico Scarlatti, W.A. Mozart, Franz Liszt, Frederic Chopin, Robert Schumann and Moritz Moszkowski. The disc too contains additional documentary footage with Horowitz. 'Horowitz, playing with a clarity and dynamic range that friends said he had not matched in many years' (New York Times) made an outstanding performance of musical, as well as political, significance.
