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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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...
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...

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
This transcription is so different from Gryaznov's one. I really love them both. They both have different styles and themes.
THE BEST pianist of our time. Just listen to his Rach #3 with Levine and Berlin phil!!!

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
феноменально,просто фантастика!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Браво!
Every time I watch this it NEVER EVER Fails to amaze me!
Genius just begins to tell the story.
i come by every week
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.
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

He shakes the piano a lot at 2:00. Unbelieveble stronggg!!

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
he's great
BAD ASS!
Hats off gentlemen,a genius!
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
totally agree...mad!
/bow
He is amazing!
wooooow
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😮
Класс!🤩
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
george Cziffra and Horowitz plus mix up DNA piano !!!!!!!!!!! Amazing !
mega !
i love key-mashing! :D
Damn.
wow! at 1:58 its amazing! i mean that must have been like quintuple forte! wow! just amazing
God bless!
Holy~
Seriously... one guy playin two parts at once? His two hands doing the work of four... Amaazing human being.
o my gosh thats incredible. i can only hope to play like that. lol
WOW
szok
they set

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.
And I thought his Turkish March was astounding,This guy and Jarrod Radnich needs to collab someday.
Arcadi you had at Bb. No words. xox
Volodos number 1!!!!! my preferite pianist ... good good good
Arcadi is the best pianist of the century
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.
that's a weird analogy, but I can't stop thinking that once I've read it
Phenomenal. This is a guess, but is this outdoor performance in Amsterdam? Audience looks fired up, and no premature applause too!
i would too if i could play that well !!
yes, funny
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
=philharmonic orchestra
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.
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
he's..da...shizzle..
i just pooped my pants
they give thumbs down because they are entitled to their own opinion
NO. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!
Incredible. I love how the piano overtook the noise of the surrounding environs.
nah they have people on top of the buildings ready to throw umbrellas on the piano if it starts raining.
It's hard to listen to the original after brainwashing my mind with this paraphrase lol.
I think the Rach would be smiling now.
this piece is written as a duet.... he plays both parts easily.
wat dah faq happened at 2:00...
Resonance
2:00 Godzilla time
@531337 Change the settings to 240p, then it should work.
what are you referring to?
link?
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
Show-off. :P
In all seriousness, bravo!
@chang1865 You don´t really think that, do you?
@fisarmonicista it's just a metaphor. I'm a pianist myself.
Look at the poor piano trembling under all that force!
where is this??
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!
1:58 impossible!
liszt who?
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...
This would be right up Horowitz’ street.

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
Who's Phil??
WHY WONT IT WORK?
=[
Send me a message if you still want it
lang who????????
11 people are jealous on Volodos, beacause they can't manage to play this piece xD
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
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...
@chang1865 ok, sorry, lol, that's because you find every person in youtube....., sorry about that, it was a funny comment. =D
