May 22, 1982: Royal Festival Hall, London, England (Live) Horowitz returned to England after 31 years since 1951, at the invitation of Prince Charles. He presented his most famous repertoire, including Rachmaninoff Sonata and Chopin’s Ballade. Schumann’s Kinderszenen also was performed in honor of the impending birth of Prince William.
