"One of the high points of his recording activity” – Stereo Review

Horowitz's return to the recording studios for Deutsche Grammophon in the mid-1980s after years of self-imposed absence was the recording event of the decade. The octogenarian pianist's playing had gained in intimacy but was as technically miraculous as ever. Gramophone wrote: "His finger dexterity and ear for sonority are legendary still.”

"The two Liszt pieces confirm that his finger dexterity and ear for sonority are legendary still.” – Gramophone

"Marvellously recorded piano sound" – The Sunday Times

»Farbnuancierung und Anschlagskultur auf höchstem Niveau« – Frankfurter Rundschau (on Kreisleriana)

»Unerschöpflicher Sinn für dramatische und lyrische Situationsschilderung« – Fono Forum (on Scarlatti)
