Vladimir Horowitz's Chopin mazurkas stand out for their tonal opulence and intriguing neuroticism. His coiled ferocity in the live 1953 First Scherzo contrasts with the ruminative F Major and C Sharp Minor Nocturnes and intense but relaxed Scherzo #2. A live 1951 Polonaise-fantaisie lacks the flexibility and introspection of the 1966 CBS recording, but Horowitz's 1952 Fourth Ballade best exemplifies what Schumann meant when he described Chopin's music as "cannons buried in flowers." One caveat: the pitch sags near the end of Ballade, due to a faulty tape splice. --Dan Davis
