Saw him live in London a few years back. I've heard most of the great pianists alive today in concert Argerich, Hough, Wang, Trifonov, Uchida, Kissin etc. but imo none of them even come close to Volodos' pianissimos and tone/colour control.

So far Arcadi has the best interpretation of this amazing sonata; he does the repeat of the first movement's exposition and he keeps both tempo and dynamics in balance. He also understands the interplay of right and left hand parts. Congratulations to all who found this recording. Best

Have you listened to Richter? Try his 1978 Moscow performance; the pathos and yearning of the first movement are unparalleled, in my opinion, and the delicacy of the Allegretto is much greater than Volodos'.

@@jamesnickoloff6692 Very sorry to tell you, but although I also think Richter is an extraordinary pianist and musician, his Schubert is too slow. I can see the point of interpreting the music how you like it the most, but you have to be coherent with what the composer intended. Such tempo was not possible on Schubert's fortepiano and the sound would not last that long even with pedal.

@@stepaushi Historical information. It's not about the pedal itself, even if you hold the notes with your fingers, the sound would still die on the fortepiano. The piano is a mechanical instrument and our grand today can hold notes much longer than the ones from the 18th and 19th century. Besides that, slowness is not a synonym for expressiveness. And there's absolutely no marking nor evidence that talks about a slow tempo.

Oh my gosh! This was the most enlightened performance. That moment at 24:45 - 25:00 and 37:20 were hints that we are "dreaming" this piece. Volodos is always searching for beauty and grit for us. I am so used to enjoying exaggerated virtuosity of some pianists but this performance did not need to prove itself. Its sheer beauty invited me in and truly understood the deep desire of Schubert. I am forever grateful for the wisdom I've gained just hearing him play!

Volodos is following Schuberts emotions. There is a reason why Heinrich Neuhaus (Moscow professor and teacher of Gilels) mentioned Stanislavski (the father of method-acting) in his book: "The art of piano playing". What happens in the actor should more or less happen in the musician as well. When I read Stanislavskis books about acting, I thought: "Man! Never before have I learned this much about music!".
