Franz Liszt: Sonata in B minor

Arcadi Volodos piano

This legendary Russian virtuoso makes a rare London appearance performing three essential masterpieces of the piano repertoire - Schubert's terse and powerful A minor Sonata D784, a set of Brahms's exquisitely reflective late piano intermezzi and Liszt's monumental Sonata in B minor.

Volodos's first CD, released in 1997, featured transcriptions by Vladimir Horowitz and Volodos himself, and caused an international sensation, scooping prizes including the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, a Gramophone Award and the Echo Klassik 1999. His Liszt recording on Sony Classical was likewise showered with accolades.

'He was indeed mesmerising to watch, with his hands going like humming-birds in the trills, and conjuring dazzling octave cascades as though nothing could be simpler, but this wasn't just showmanship - his sensitive reading of this work brought out all its heartfelt majesty' (The Independent).
