Alexei Volodin piano

A great opportunity to hear a significant rising star of the piano - Alexei Volodin gives his debut recital in the International Piano Series. His programme includes piano versions of two great Russian ballet scores, and two characterful, contrasting sonatas by Beethoven, including the much-loved Pathétique.

'[He] runs up and down the keyboard with seamless fluidity, every note precisely places and released, yet his emphasis is solely on the music and not the performer.' (San Diego Arts).

Volodin's career was launched when he won first prize in the Géza Anda Competition in Zurich in 2003 and he now collaborates frequently with the conductor Valery Gergiev, who chose him as the first Artist of the Month at the new Mariinsky Concert Hall, St Petersburg.
