I got a chance to meet him right after a concert - I told him I thought his playing was out of this world, and he kept bowing his head and saying thank you and please when I asked to take a picture :) - and what struck me above all was how humble he was. It was a true experience, almost as amazing as hearing him play.

2:16 - 2:24 that energy, those octaves. my god. Like a machine gun... it sounds so good.

[@EricLeePiano]

just like vladimir horowitz

[@cyanide1233]

Machine gunning that part is hard, but the bigger challenge is doing the next part fast and correctly :)

[@medviation]

Actually the hardest part of this piece.

[@tianrunxu337]

Cyanide123 ikr. I just learnt the octaves bit, and it’s honestly a piece of cake compared to the next part. The next part you literally need 2 pairs of eyes as your hands jump around so much

[@geuros]

@@tianrunxu337 or like Volodos such a movement memory that you don't need to observe a hand of your choice.

[@TotalGamers101]

man . . . I've seen a lot of people play this piece, and man . . . Volodos himself is like the only one who can play it right!

[@Tarantula33222]

I don't know. I prefer Yuja Wang's because she just plays it faster which makes it sound more cheerful you know, like it's supposed to sound?

[@TotalGamers101]

Tarantula33222 Maybe, but in my opinion this one is more accurate so I prefer it...if you like the fast cheerful version, you should check out Charlie Albright's interpretation - I like that one too

[@ramonvanvalderen4244]

Kyle Landry??

[@Fillster]

Tarantula33222 I think the man who wrote it knows how it shall sound :p

[@SecretCailev]

Tarantula33222 Well yes, she plays it faster, but I'm really sure that Volodos could do the same. I love this version, the bass is so intense, so powerful. Yuja Wang's version isnt that powerful... But still good tho

No one plays the Turkish March better than Volodos--not Yuja Wang and not anyone else. He has the exact right amount of precision, speed and musicality that I would expect out of anyone who takes on a piece like this. I was also here for this performance in person as well.

[@alaskanjohnsmithson]

Fucking Arcadi Volodos 🔥🔥🔥🔥. The greatest piano player who's ever lived in my opinion. He's plays piano the way Barry sanders would run a football. With grace and tuning and articulation and wit and build up and tension and meticulousness and dynamic and range, and on the turn of a dime he's twisting your audible senses farther than anyone has ever taken a piano. This man is an underrated genius and he came out before he could have gone viral. I hope he can put out one monsterous well recorded video of the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto no.3 before he dies because his 2000 release is the pinnacle of classical music to me since its release and I'm dying for a video of him pulling off that feat of master craftsmanship 🙏

To all those who despise transcriptions: many great composers and performers have made transcriptions - it is quite normal practice. In fact, Liszt himself, who made many transcriptions of works by composers such as Verdi and Bellini, would have been proud of this wonderful transcription. If you don't like it, DON'T LISTEN!

[@smileyfrown4784]

One of the most powerful displays on a piano I've found even after watching and listening to well over 10,000 pieces in my life. Very few people REALLY make use of the full dynamic range of a piano. Volodos and Hofmann are the most notable for me. I'd love to hear anyone else's recommendation for some performances as powerful as the two guys I mentioned

[@eddyhslee]

Prime horowitz recordings from the 30/40s

[@eddyhslee]

His recording of the danse macabre - how he strikes down some of the notes with minimal pedal at full speed & dynamism - is honestly such a physical feat.

[@user-qr3rt7ty7s]

I love that he doesn't try to play faster than he can comfortably. I feel safe in his hands, unlike with Yuja's renditions of this.

[@patrizialauraf]

spettacolare,,,incredibile,,,trascrizione formidabile!

[@PatrickRiddleKEYs]

I’ve played piano for 34 years professionally for 15 years started playing at 7 and sir you are absolutely an amazing player. You have mastered the skill of the keys. Such a joy to hear you play. Your technique is flawless. Wow love it all

[@Hyramess]

One of the greatest virtuosi who has ever lived without a doubt. He equals or outshines what Busoni, Hofman, Cziffra, and Horowitz did in this realm and is certainly the equal of Stephen Hough, Evgeny Kissin, Denis Matuev, and Marc André Hamelin. More important, however, is that Volodos plays deceptively simple material like Schumann's Waldscenen with such tender understanding and subtlety he can break your heart. In that regard he and Stephen Hough are on an equal plane. Besides all that Volodos is a lovable Teddy Bear of a man -- a rare quality in coincert artists.

[@HermanIngram]

Horowitz, Hofmann and Busoni were far superior to those others that you mention.
