Volodos did not start late.Friend of mine studied with him at the same class and everybody knew from the early age that he was a genius at the piano. he did study to be a conductor but was terrible at it.However he was forgiven because of his piano playing!
I am so grateful to Arcadi for creating this very inspiring for my little piano students transcription. Most of his fans know him as a piano virtuoso. But very few are fortunate to know about his virtuous heart. And, that is why his playing is so soulful and deeply toughing, in addition to being entertaining and technically virtually unlimited.
Great transcription. His finger work is incredible, especially given the giant sausages he has for fingers. These are circus acts, but musicians know that not everybody can put them together this way, and frankly, Volodos transcriptions are just plain fun, with wonderful combination of various themes. The variation at 1:40 is just amazing. It's kind of interesting to note that the two super-duper technicians (Volodos and Marc-Andre Hamelin) both have unusually thick fingers.
Rachmaninov era il più grande compositore del 900. Arcadi Volodos diventerà il più grande pianista del nuovo millennio? Fino ad ora ha strabiliato il mondo con il suo talento innato. Italian Polka è uno dei pezzi trascritti da Volodos che preferisco.
What was that crashing sound I heard just now? Wait a minute...ummm...it was only the sound of my jaw hitting the floor after watching this incredible performance! BRAVO!
I was at his performance in my home town last week. Was kind of hoping this to be an additional piece, but sadly he didn't play it. :) Needless to say, he was awe-inspiring otherwise.
He's just incredible at the climax. He didn't hit a single wrong note and there were a LOT of notes XD. Like the last guy, I'd love to see the score too...
From 0:36 it shows the flowers Volodos has killed! Then at 0:40 it shows us Volodos has moved to the piano to try kill that instead! lol haha :D Beautiful playing :P
Mr Volodos est un artiste très fin. Peut - etre pas dans cette transcription de cette polka italienne qui franchit la limite du ridicule vers la 2ème minute . Il se situe dans la continuité d'un certain Horowitz dans ses prouesses d'estrade. C'est quand meme époustouflant !!
MAN. That was amazing!! O_____O lol. I wish I could play like that, but it'd probably take me two years just to learn that piece! XD lol. I give this guy a standing ovation! XD lol.
There has never been a performance that can rival this arrangement. The depth, the pressure on each key. It is in my opinion a perfect performance. An Asian pianist would just try to play as quickly as possible, a shallow somewhat rushed performance, choosing speed over feeling and understanding, it sounds cheap and tacky as if a robot was programmed to perform this piece. This is the greatest performance of Turkish March you'll ever hear.
he has like 2 versinos of that its like he switched the begining and the end.. but over all i like this one over my volodos sound track that i got in i tunes
From what I read recently the 10% brain usage thing is a myth. They said it was about 60% and that the other 40 were not exactly not being used, they were just in a "default mode" while in which they sort memories and stuff like that.
Where is that recorded? It's the spanish TV (I'm from Spain...) That public is so stupid!! What's the point of those horns at start? Look at the genious face... Anyway, Volodos always perfect technique!
Now can somebody tell me why this guy isn't teaching at Moscow Conservatory? Why isn't he in the Tchaikovsky competition jury? Where the fuck is him?? Why did this talent got buried!?? Man such a fucking unfair insane terrible world we live in...
And by the way, this Phenomenal guy wasn't a prodigy, he started playing seriuosly when he was 15!!! So all of you budding pianists out there have no excuse for mediocrity now!
Fun fact: Volodos could barely take the tenths in the beginning of Rach 2, Cziffra had to roll the tenths in Schumann's toccata and Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody 6, Argerich could only take ninths, and Lazar Berman had to roll the tenths in Chopin's polonaises. But Horowitz could take an eleventh, and Earl Wild and Richter twelfths...
As far as i Know, i read that Horowitz said he could take tenths, but it wasn't really that confortable cziffra did had good hands and could take tenths too, but not all tenths, for example not a major tenth with a black and a white key, also fast tenths are too un confortable to do without rolling unless you got Big hands like Pogorelich (theres a video with 2 passages with fast tenths of him) Richter or Hamelin And that fun fact is the original post from a thread from on a piano forum, the thread it's from 2009

This transcription is so different from Gryaznov's one. I really love them both. They both have different styles and themes.
Volodos reminds me of George Cziffra.. Their amazing technique and extremely virtuoso transcriptions blow you off your socks every time. I LOVE IT
I do think exactly the same
He could've been. Wish he didn't spend the last 15 years boring us with Schubert and Brahms.
THE BEST pianist of our time. Just listen to his Rach #3 with Levine and Berlin phil!!!
Or Schubert Sonatas.

He is truly amazing and I love how crisp his attack is, his interpretations are always tasteful, even when slightly over the top... amazing

There is another super virtuoso Pianist - Kristina Miller - has played cziffra Transcriptions for TH-cam

Every time I watch this it NEVER EVER Fails to amaze me!
What was that crashing sound I heard just now? Wait a minute...ummm...it was only the sound of my jaw hitting the floor after watching this incredible performance! BRAVO!
lol he goes spastic at 2:00 lol awesome
That’s the testosterone kicking in. G-d bless him!
heeeyy you there 12 years ago

@@lucasvannieuwenhuijzen5646 He first joined TH-cam 16 years ago and made is first video almost 16 years ago
1:58
i come by every week
Genius just begins to tell the story.
He shakes the piano a lot at 2:00. Unbelieveble stronggg!!
2:00
Totally awesome! The sound of genius.
spotted
Cziffra and Horowitz are both good too! All of these guys are wizards (Don't forget Hamelin!)
@@charlesthomas5956 You might want to check out young Alexei Sultanov who could have walked in their footsteps had he lived longer.
I was at his performance in my home town last week. Was kind of hoping this to be an additional piece, but sadly he didn't play it. :) Needless to say, he was awe-inspiring otherwise.
From 1:50 to 2:00 Volodos looks like a bit bored, so he gets crazy and almost destroys the piano. :)
Really great.
1:50 to 2:00
it's almost scary how much Volodos and myself look like each other...i'll post a picture of myself on my profile soon...it's weird seriously lol
Omg that is so weird😮
always amazing...sometimes i dream that i can play like him...hahahahahah
😂😂😂
Es un genio sin parangón.
He's just incredible at the climax. He didn't hit a single wrong note and there were a LOT of notes XD. Like the last guy, I'd love to see the score too...
DylanCobb 2:13 wrong note
Absolutely incredible!!
From 0:36 it shows the flowers Volodos has killed! Then at 0:40 it shows us Volodos has moved to the piano to try kill that instead! lol haha :D
Beautiful playing :P
Absolutely Incredible!!! Speechless !!!
this is awesome... so cool.
Like this comment if this video was one of the first virtuoso piano videos you ever watched
Hahahahahaha from 1:58 on this actually made me laugh out hard! Hahahahahaha, only Volodos (or Cziffra in his time) could pull this off like this!
Dont forget denis matsuev
@@ryushev2000 Or Marc-Andre Hamelin
he's great
феноменально,просто фантастика!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Браво!
pure technical. Its perfect
wow! at 1:58 its amazing! i mean that must have been like quintuple forte! wow! just amazing
Awesome!!!!!
george Cziffra and Horowitz plus mix up DNA piano !!!!!!!!!!! Amazing !
Look at the poor piano trembling under all that force!
F.....G AWESOME!
Hats off gentlemen,a genius!

Brrraaaavvooooo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
BAD ASS!
MAN. That was amazing!! O_____O lol. I wish I could play like that, but it'd probably take me two years just to learn that piece! XD lol. I give this guy a standing ovation! XD lol.
Great!!
Just because he started late doesn't mean he's not a prodigy. Whether he's a prodigy or not depends on how fast he progressed.
o my gosh thats incredible. i can only hope to play like that. lol
totally agree...mad!
Rachmaninoff's music always makes me smile a huge toothy grin.
Volodos' arrangements always make me laugh.
I must look like a madman right now.
Класс!🤩
Seriously... one guy playin two parts at once? His two hands doing the work of four... Amaazing human being.
/bow
He is amazing!
Arcadi is the best pianist of the century
There has never been a performance that can rival this arrangement.
The depth, the pressure on each key. It is in my opinion a perfect performance.
An Asian pianist would just try to play as quickly as possible, a shallow somewhat rushed performance, choosing speed over feeling and understanding, it sounds cheap and tacky as if a robot was programmed to perform this piece.
This is the greatest performance of Turkish March you'll ever hear.
And I thought his Turkish March was astounding,This guy and Jarrod Radnich needs to collab someday.
It's hard to listen to the original after brainwashing my mind with this paraphrase lol.
Damn.
Arcadi you had at Bb. No words. xox
i love key-mashing! :D
i just pooped my pants
he has like 2 versinos of that its like he switched the begining and the end.. but over all i like this one over my volodos sound track that i got in i tunes
i.
want.
sheets.
this is INSAAAAAANE
th-cam.com/video/iivCxQq6WSw/w-d-xo.html
I put a video where you can see the sheet music as the piece goes, idk whether the guy has a copy of just the sheets
wooooow
mega !
wat dah faq happened at 2:00...
Resonance
2:00 Godzilla time
Show-off. :P
In all seriousness, bravo!
Phenomenal. This is a guess, but is this outdoor performance in Amsterdam? Audience looks fired up, and no premature applause too!
WOW
that's a weird analogy, but I can't stop thinking that once I've read it
Volodos number 1!!!!! my preferite pianist ... good good good
God bless!
Holy~
i would too if i could play that well !!
yes, funny
they set
=philharmonic orchestra
this piece is written as a duet.... he plays both parts easily.
they give thumbs down because they are entitled to their own opinion
NO. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!
he's..da...shizzle..
nah they have people on top of the buildings ready to throw umbrellas on the piano if it starts raining.
szok
I think the Rach would be smiling now.
But bear in a mind he's only a Virtuoso because of the big found full tone he creates, and not because he can play a miilion notes a second!
@fisarmonicista it's just a metaphor. I'm a pianist myself.
1:58 impossible!
From what I read recently the 10% brain usage thing is a myth. They said it was about 60% and that the other 40 were not exactly not being used, they were just in a "default mode" while in which they sort memories and stuff like that.
I disagree. Someone who insists on publishing comments which hail from the place as their farts, needs reminding of that fact from time to time.
Where is that recorded? It's the spanish TV (I'm from Spain...)
That public is so stupid!! What's the point of those horns at start? Look at the genious face...
Anyway, Volodos always perfect technique!
11 people voted this video thumb down: I can't understand them, or they can't understand art.
Maybe it's because they thought he used too much pedel or they were just his trolls
Now can somebody tell me why this guy isn't teaching at Moscow Conservatory? Why isn't he in the Tchaikovsky competition jury?
Where the fuck is him?? Why did this talent got buried!?? Man such a fucking unfair insane terrible world we live in...
Incredible. I love how the piano overtook the noise of the surrounding environs.
And by the way, this Phenomenal guy wasn't a prodigy, he started playing seriuosly when he was 15!!! So all of you budding pianists out there have no excuse for mediocrity now!
Good for him,True,To be a virtuousuo,You gotta put in the work.
@531337 Change the settings to 240p, then it should work.

wtf?...godzila SOUND!!!...
Freaking RUSSIAN Tank
Godzilla sound at 2:00
at 2:00 he's like randomly mashing the keys lol! But great skill indeed..
Chang's Stuff
It’s not random, if you hear clearly. However, it makes a huge effect.
2:00
@chang1865 You don´t really think that, do you?
what are you referring to?
link?
11 people are jealous on Volodos, beacause they can't manage to play this piece xD
They think that some random certain section 2:00 is just because of their own hearing impaired.
@chang1865 ok, sorry, lol, that's because you find every person in youtube....., sorry about that, it was a funny comment. =D
where is this??
