Of Note for Monday, Nov. 23, 2015: Horowitz's Forgotten Broadcast

Vladimir Horowitz was a legendary pianist near and dear to Chicago’s heart, selling out repeat concerts for fans who just couldn’t get enough. That’s why, in 1986, he decided to plan a performance that would be broadcast locally on a Chicago radio station, as a gift to his admirers across the city. That broadcast was played only twice until it was rediscovered in the radio station’s vaults in 2013. On Monday’s program, experience this broadcast for yourself as we play highlights from Deutsche Grammophon’s recording of this beloved performance.
