Arcadi Volodos, celebrated as "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 as well as profound and expressive musicality. Born in St. Petersburg in 1972, Arcadi Volodos only began a serious musical training at the city's conservatory in 1987, after which he continued to study the piano at the Moscow Conservatoire under Galina Egizarowa, and later at the Conservatoire de Paris with Jacques Rouvier and in Madrid at the Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofia, where his teacher was Dimitry Bashkirov. The idea of "contests" was entirely alien to his concept of music, so that he refused to enter competitions, and thus decided not to pursue a soloist's career initially. His meteoric career took off thanks to a fortunate coincidence: a manager of the Sony Classical label was on a business trip in 1996 when a French friend urged him to listen to a private performance of a few pieces by an extremely talented pianist. The "audition" took place in a small house in Antibes on the Côte d'Azur, and the Sony man was so impressed by Volodos´ exceptional ability that he immediately offered him an exclusive long-term contract. His explanation at the time: "You only come across someone as talented as Arcadi Volodos once in a lifetime".
The first album featuring spectacular transcriptions "Piano Transcriptions", some written by Volodos himself, was released in autumn 1997; accompanied as it was by the pianist's first live appearances, it caused an absolute sensation. The CD was awarded several prizes (i.e. Gramophone Editor's Choice, Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik) and received outstanding reviews: "A young sorcerer" (FonoForum); "Volodos certainly has what it takes to become a new Horowitz" (Der Spiegel).

QUOTE

"The year's best disc: Arcadi Volodos and Seiji Ozawa, Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto (Sony Classical). Ditto, plus the unsurpassable Berlin Philharmonic." -Boston Herald "Volodos is breathtakingly athletic, and plays with a range of touch and articulation that is nearly unequaled in the current generation of pianists. However, he uses his gifts with more emotional conservatism - an approach seconded by conductor Ozawa. If you dislike Lang Lang, you'll love Volodos." -The Philadelphia Inquirer (on Volodos' new recording of Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1) "...he's the next legend-to-be." -Los Angeles Times
