Similar Interpretation

Rudolf Serkin's new recording
(Columbia M 30081) is one of the
few that will stand comparison with
Horszowski's. In fact, their
interpretations have much in
common. Serkin's version, like
Horszowski's, is one of those rare
recordings that can be called
perfect. The interpretation
represents the fruits of nearly half a
century of thought and study, and
Serkin has had more success than
any pianist since Petri and
Horszowski in resolving the
difficulties of this extremely
complex score.
