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.'
