Vladimir Horowitz's standard-setting virtuosity and boundless imagination resonate throughout a remarkable collection of films gathered together for the first time on DVD. It includes the first London and Vienna recitals Horowitz gave in decades, along with his celebrated historic return to Moscow after more than sixty years' absence. The Last Romantic features Horowitz in his New York home, playing and speaking about Liszt, Chopin, Schumann, Scriabin and Rachmaninoff - all composers with whom he had a lifelong affinity.
