Ernesto Lecuona: Malagueña Arcadi Volodos piano

[@cowboytim98]

My goodness! He is an elemental force. Great camera angle -- one can really see how he uses his shoulders, back and abdomen to achieve "his" special sound quality. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@pianosenzanima1]

Yes!! An elemental force indeed! Reminds me of Cziffra...THE elemental force of nature.

[@herobrine1847]

His fingers are steel in order to bear all the weight and soul he pours into the keys

[@789armstrong]

fantastic.Volodos is pure genius.There should be DVDs of all his concerts.

[@pianosenzanima1]

I second that with all my heart.

[@zoink5484]

spotted

[@rozalinapiano]

brilliant, as usual... what a bold and unique talent of virtuosity and soulful expression!

[@Swybryd-Nation]

Maestro Volodos, please record ALBENIZ’S Iberia Suite!

[@THAMSPX1]

Thank you so much. I have all of his recordings but thus live performance is special, almost sacred!

[@yeetzus8282]

3:01 is an absolute NUKE!

[@bedenerexhepaj293]

Magnificent!! He's a genius!! Thank you!!

[@davidstabile700]

masterful - personally , inspired to learn this composition just because was the first , as a student, i found was conducive to so much individual interpretation.

[@gantchikova]

Афигительно!

[@Steinwaygrande]

Absolutely spectacular.

[@shubus]

I'm still gasping for air!

[@1389Chopin]

So awesome

[@nevskixx]

A giant.

[@michelepiteo7179]

there is physically powerful aspect to his playing

[@pianosenzanima1]

A giant? Thats all you have to say after this improvisation? Oh man...he is a fuking genius beyond comprehension...almost Cziffra like, but..different.

[@arnemyggen]

@@pianosenzanima1 zzzzz

[@masterofsynapsis]

het is een show nummer, de andere 10 bis nummers staan trouwens ook op you tube...maar in de virtuoze steil is dit wel een leuke bewerking, al is het originele werk toch nog wel een echt pareltje!

[@arturozeballos1]

uno de los 11 bises que VOLODOS ofreció en el Teatro Colón de Buenos Aires. Ahí estuvimos deleitandonos con su personal y maravilloso arte.

[@TheUnknownWords]

Ох ты ж блин... мощно как! Никто не знает, у него хоть какие-нибудь мастер-классы есть? Может записи какие? Хоть что-нибудь...

[@geertdehoux]

Tja, muziek zegt mij haast niets meer... De Verlichte Meester Bhagwan beschrijft de evolutie die ik doormaak en ook mijn goede vriend Vincent verkeert al meerdere jaren in deze fase. Desalniettemin hoor ik uiteraard wél het verschil tussen een groot musicus en notenmachines zoals de oudere Michelangeli, Richter en Pollini. Blijkbaar zijn er vele lieden die dit onderscheid niet eens kunnen maken! En zeggen dat er zo'n zijn die ook nog 'muziek' onderrichten aan kinderen! Hartelijk, Geert.

[@rigel48]

The new Horowitz !

[@christopherczajasager9030]

Better more versatile

[@josephhapp9]

Horowitz would agree,,,,,🥰🥰

[@herobrine1847]

He’s Volodos.

[@federicofielitz7673]

Si esa es la Malagueña yo soy el papa Francisco. Fuerte y rápido es el lema de Volodos.

[@praisegaw7605]

Hello, may I ask where can I buy the piano score for this piece, I am currently preparing for my FTCL exam. Thank you so much for your help😀

[@josephhapp9]

Ernesto Lecuona, “Malagueña” original is fun,,,,this virtuoso version is arranged by Arcadi Volodos.

[@herobrine1847]

As far as I know, Volodos doesn’t release scores of his own arrangements. (Maybe he never wrote them down.) You’ll have to find other people’s transcriptions of his works.

[@praisegaw7605]

Thank you=]

[@Ben-ik2bb]

Is it just me or does Volodos seem almost sad at the end? He stands up and stares at the audience without a smile, and his eyes seem tired and cold. :(

[@hansdekorver7365]

Maybe it was his 5th or 7th encore ? By the way an upload by Nick Bottom ( without video ) has much better sound quality !

[@herobrine1847]

That’s just him. He’s not a bubbly happy type of person. He’s complex. He loves piano and loves producing music. I heard he struggles to feel satisfied with his performances, and wasn’t happy about PR stuff forcing him to gain fame through virtuosity alone. He embodies the dichotomy of indulgence and restraint. Though I didn’t get a “I’m tired and cold” impression from the bow as much of a “yeah everybody, that’s me, a fucking machine, but I’ll stay humble.”

[@geertdehoux]

:-)

[@geertdehoux]

Ik vind dat, eerlijk gezegd, geen interessante muziek. Maar welke is dat, uiteindelijk, wél ? Chavela Vargas, d'at was grote klasse en met 'sentido', iets wat ge bij Pollini, Michelangeli, Pletnev, Richter en Argerich zelden erbij krijgt!

[@masterofsynapsis]

wel ge zei toch dat Arcadi vaak depressief was....

[@mahmoudfarajpour78]

100k$ for repairing the piano is asked from the pianist

[@LazlosPlane]

Fun. Once.

[@SuperLeonardo40]

Si, un monstruo, el major del mundo.Aun asi,,,no me gusto.No es la Malaguena que conozco.

[@jorgefranco3609]

Eso pensé. El virtuosismo está por encima del espíritu de la obra. Pero es sólo mi opinión.

[@josephhapp9]

I play the original,,, I like this arrangement❤😊

[@masterofsynapsis]

heb je dat niet een beetje bij iedereen. Ik denk dat hij technisch geen uitdagingen heeft, vandaar misschien dat "repetitieve"...
