Original post
Most of his discussion of other pianists is in part 6. Here is the link. He also demonstrates a little bit of Mozart on the piano and parodies heavy six eight rhythms.
He calls Michelangeli a "fantastic pianist" and this is the only time I ever heard him praise Gould. In the Harold Schonberg biography he says after listening to Gould's recording of a Wagner transcription that Gould played like a stupid ass but here he calls him "very talented." It is funny to hear Horowitz of all people call these pianists crazy.

What a wonderful interview with a relaxed and friendly Mr&Mrs Horowitz.And some new anectodes too. Nice to hear H trying to describe how he does a pianissimo.
I found another one in french it's obvious that Horowitz was more himself and at ease speaking french which was almost his native language (after russian):
Bon écoute!

thanks for this, Eric! Although he seems slightly impatient with her far too standard questions...
And there are some recordings from his Paris recitals! nice...
