Thank you, Mr. Nelson, for continuing your mini-podcasts about classical music. They are a welcome spot of joy in these troubled times.

Really, Horowitz was mentioned on Animaniacs? Damn. Fucking loved that show in high school!

If you were to recommend one Horowitz album, what would it be?

I was kind of giddy, I guessed Horowitz, because I heard of him from Animaniacs.

Art Tatum was amazing, as was Oscar Peterson. Incredible technique.

Hmm, no one in pop comes to mind but I believe it's told in story and song that Horowitz himself was obsessed with Art Tatum, and that in terms of technique and those "string of pearls" runs that Horowitz was famous for Tatum certainly matches him. Here's Tatum's "Tea for Two", the arrangement which allegedly haunted Horowitz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kACt0FM0Kf8

Are there any pop music pianists that you think could have been great classical pianists had they chosen that path?
