I think it is an excellent performance. However, according to my personal taste, I sometimes find it too percussive; towards the concluding part, in my opinion, they overdo the pedaling, and I struggle to distinguish the phrases and perceive the culminating peaks because the volume no longer drops (a bit redundant, if you know what I mean, as if one were speaking an entire speech in a medium-high or very high voice, but perhaps the audio quality is not the best). But I think that is their volume; it is difficult to hear them play below mezzo-piano.
However, it is a difficult piece, chapeau.

It seems to me there is a miking problem, difficult to judge as a performance.
If we were to hypothetically compare this other Horowitz performance with that of Sergio fiorentino, there would be no contest.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJHo2J-2rAM
