About

In 1986, Vladimir Horowitz was asked if his 1926 recordings made for the Welte-Mignon piano could be released. Having no faith in the technique, he refused, but some personal friends persuaded the great man to listen to the remarkable sound quality of the recordings and when he had done so, he immediately gave his consent.

This release is of Horowitz playing in those 1926 recordings.
