Concertography
A
listing of Horowitz's concerts as a professional pianist
Prepared and Compiled by Christian Johansson
This section is intended to serve as an index to the interested of Horowitz's recital programs and concert appearances during the years. The list is of course not complete, but it contains all Horowitz concerts I am aware of between his Graduation Concerts at the Kiev Consertvatory in 1920 and his last public appearance in June 1987.
It should be noted that Horowitz took no less than four retirements from the concert stage during his life. These were between the years 1936-1938, 1953-1965, 1969-1974 and 1983-1985. This is not the place to explain the reason for his sabbaticals, but the explanation why there are no concerts listed for 1937, 1954-1964, 1970-1973 or 1984 is simply that Horowitz didn't give any.
The programs have been gathered from reliable sources unless
otherwise is stated, and most of them first hand even from photocopies of the
actual concert programs. All programs are given as complete as possible,
including orchestral works whenever available from the concerts Horowitz gave
together with an orchestra. In a few of the recitals the order of the program
or the exact location of the intermission has not been preserved and I have
then made an (I hope) educated guess of my own and written the works in the
order which I think Horowitz performed them in and placed the intermission
where I would have placed it if I was Horowitz. In 95% of the programs,
however, full info has been preserved and is reproduced here exactly as given
in my sources.
Information about encores has usually been taken from
reviews in the concerts up to 1953 and it is thus possible that Horowitz
played more encores than those I list. In the concerts after 1965 (no concerts
1954-1964) information about encores usually comes from pirate recordings
(almost every concert Horowitz gave from 1966 and onwards was illegaly
recorded by members in the audience), verified by reviews & professional
and thus guaranteed complete recordings whenever possible.

- There is some conflicting information regarding the program for this recital. This above is according to Glenn Plaskin and an interview with Horowitz by Harold C. Schonberg in the 1980s. However, a quote from a review of a recital in Philadelphia held on January 15, 1942 runs:
"... on May 30, 1920, he made a trial debut in his native city. He still remembers the program - Bach/Busoni Chaconne, a group of Chopin, six Etudes by Rachmaninoff, six Etudes by his teacher [Felix von Blumenfeld]. His formal debut however, took place in Kharkov a year and a half later..........."

* I think that is the year, it's difficult to read from the program.
- An excerpt from a review of this concert is worth quoting:
"Horowitz, playing yesterday at Orchesta Hall, set standards for the piano and its litterature which no virtuoso of the present has equaled. Not only is his command of the resources of the instrument more extended than any the world has heard since Busoni was at the zenith of his powers, but the qualities of pianistic imagination which have developed this amazing control are such that he has advanced frontiers and boundaries for the whole art.
This imparts to his playing an impression of adventure, of new worlds conquered, of still other realms of beauty, more remote, that are about to be discovered. It matters little with what type of music he may concern himself." ("Unequalled Today", Glenn Dillard Gunn)
