Volodos is probably the greatest living pianist. Once again he proves that he is a superb musician as well as a great virtuoso.

He takes the time to let the important notes sing, very beautiful. Great tone, velvet, grand and clear as a bell, a unique combination. A very romantic Brahms indeed, one clearly hears the voice of Schumann too. Just discovered this composition because of your upload, thank you very much❤️!

Der Pianist gibt gleichsam den einzelnen Tönen ihre Zeit und damit die Muße, sich aus sich selbst in der intendierten Komposition zu entfalten, so dass ein selten harmonisches Klangbild der Stille und Ruhe entsteht...

Dans mon expérience, on peut mal jouer Brahms et, du fait de la complexité de la composition, cela reste tolérable (contrairement à Beethoven ou Mozart). Mais Volodos le transcende vraiment!
@adelesteff3902

Je vous comprends, mais à quoi cela sert-il de tolérer que quelqu'un joue mal, alors que ce dont on a besoin c'est que ce soit transcendant justement, fulgurant, mystérieux et pourtant limpide… Volodos donne peu de concerts, j'ai tendance à penser qu'il a raison et que c'est une des conditions de la hauteur de son jeu. La musique classique que j'écoute depuis si longtemps me semble de plus en plus indispensable mais si étrange…

Horowitz did not even come close to the likes of Ashkenazy, Gilels, Richter, or Volodos; not to speak of the great Rachmaninoff.

@@EmptyVee00000 To each their own, but Rachmaninoff regarded Horowitz very highly. Richter said once at lunch, "Soon, the greatest pianist in the world will come to give a recital," and people started telling him, "How is that possible? Surely, you are the best pianist in the world!" To which Richter replied with a smile, "Let's see what you think after we listen to Horowitz's concert."

@@shawnmand5607 The Rachmaninoff story is either apocryphal, or he was just being "nice' to his colleague. Richter, on the other hand, and I know someone who knew him very well, replied with a sarcastic smile, having actually just said, "Soon, the 'greatest' pianist in the world will come to give a recital."

What an incredibly detailed performance. This piece must be hell to play and to play it flawlessly like Volodos here defies belief. However, I am surprised at the tempo he takes on variation No. 9. I'm still grappling with it. I don't quite grasp the emotional meaning of the break of pace.

Wrting as if out from the Golden Eternity; the Noble And Good one soul composer... I recommend this very much for Rezefede adherents, Celtic Redemption. The composer undoubtedly understands very well, clearly, the doctrine of Redemption. At that time, many thought they should believe this was Christ- this was permissible up until Aquarius, even though both Christ and Barbhelon or Marah had been Removed, before 500 A.D. With Aquarius it was not well for any of those, nor any of the zealot purveyors; the Religion Path was removed, making 12 become 11, of a Primordial projection. In Celtic Redemption, the Redeemer god is best though of as Omketcecwyeq, the son of Draik; a Redeemer Avatar, similar to Jeoasos, Adonis, Attis and others; as in that former religion, his mother Branwen, the Saviour, correctly. It could not really be Marah, or Mary, after 500 or so; Catholics could attract a blessing from Juno, for praying to Mary. As I noticed that much of Brahms work is very Branwen, Salvific, I found out that his true Patriarchal Attribution, or Rezefede was Celtic Saxon. He had Leverty ancestors, as also certain other excellent musicians of the aeon. Such Celts made a very good decision to go out of a Celtic land; conditions there were afflicted, perhaps Luck generally; change their last names. This insight came especially from the First piano concerto...
