Alexei Volodin

The recital by the Russian pianistAlexej Volodin will certainly be one of the highlights of our classical season. After introducing his legendary teacher Elisso Virsaladze to our country, we are now doing the same with this wonderful musician. He belongs to the generation of Andsnes and Berezovsky. He has almost the same technical facilities, is also modest and self-confident at the same time, but is distinguished by a phenomenal ear. According to some, this makes him the greatest keyboard promise of the coming decades. Volodin is currently developing a major career, which is reflected in his program, which, in addition to taste, also shows the necessary sense of mild exposition. The variations in f by Haydn to warm up. Beethoven's 'Appassionata' to add extra weight. After the break, Chopin's impromptus follow for their flair and the opportunities they offer for self-determination without selling out. Finally, we hear Prokofiev's seventh sonata, which he already released on Live Classics.
