Horowitz plays Scriabin

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did when I first heard this. This is an iconic piece for Horowitz and the best recording of it I've heard. For those of you who don't know, Horowitz was one of the greatest pianists that has ever lived and spent a tremendous amount of time performing throughout the world. His performing career spanned nearly seventy years. Scriabin is a Russian composer who wrote a great deal for the piano, including many sonatas and etudes.
