Recently obtained these two.
Horowitz: Live and Unedited
The Private Collection: Mussorgsky and Liszt
The first one is a very profound experience. Even though Volodya's nerves clearly show through in some places, I find this record to be incredibly spontaneous and enjoyable.
As for the second, this is Horowitz at the peak of his technical powers, live at Carnegie Hall. Nothing more can be said except that the Pictures is near perfect. The Great Gate of Kiev brings the house down.
The Liszt Bm is equally good, and considerably more energetic than the '32 recording.
