Rachmaninov Piano Concerto 2 Arcadi Volodos BBC Proms 1998 part 2
Tweet
Arcadi Volodos is soloist with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Chailly (London Proms)
Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943)
Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor, op.18
Piano: Arcadi Volodos
Riccardo Chailly
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
Royal Albert Hall, London
Volodos is one of the world's top piano virtuosos. The spontaneity of his playing and his ability to pull off impossibly difficult passages with seeming ease contribute to the popularity of his dazzling live performances. Arcadi Volodos, celebrated as a "keyboard genius", is without a doubt one of today's most outstanding and internationally interesting pianists. Whether in concert or on CD, his playing is always marked by a combination of breathtaking technical virtuosity and profound and expressive musicality.
'Arcadi Volodos, like Chailly and his orchestra, played to traditional strengths. Muscular and heroic, his account also found room for the poetic and wistful.'
Marvelous fireworks, great poetry!

Yundi Li - Chopin "Fantasie" Impromptu, Op. 66
Tweet
Li Yundi (simplified Chinese: 李云迪; traditional Chinese: 李雲迪; pinyin: Lǐ Yúndí) (born October 7, 1982) is a Chinese classical pianist. He is also popularly known as Yundi and formerly Yundi Li. Born in Chongqing, Li is most well known for being the youngest pianist to win the International Frédéric Chopin Piano Competition, in 2000, at the age of 18. He currently resides in Hong Kong.
Of course no video collection would be complete without the cliche Yundi Li video of him playing Chopin's "Fantasie" Impromptu in C-sharp minor, Op. 66 No. 4.
This is one of my favorite pieces.
Did you know: Chopin hated this piece? He composed it when he was just 24 and regretted it ever after.
