Born in St Petersburg in 1972, Arcadi Volodos is a towering figure of the musical world and amongst the most sought-after pianists of our day. His concerts are renowned as much for their seemingly infinite palette of tonal colour as for the truly staggering virtuosity on which he can call when required.

Since making his New York debut at Carnegie Hall in 1996, Volodos has performed throughout the world in recital and with the most eminent orchestras and conductors. This debut recital was released by Sony Classical in 1999 and immediately received a Gramophone Award. Since then, Volodos has recorded a series of critically acclaimed albums. These include revelatory interpretations of Schubert sonatas and Rachmaninov solo pieces, and live performances with the Berlin Philharmonic of Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto, conducted by James Levine, and Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto, conducted by Seiji Ozawa. His Vienna Musikverein recital from 2010 was released on CD and DVD to rapturous international critical acclaim.

The orchestras with whom he has worked are a roll-call of the world’s finest ensembles: they include the Berlin Philharmonic, the Israel Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic and Munich Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Dresden Staatskapelle, Orchestre de Paris, Leipzig Gewandhausorchester, Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, and the Boston and Chicago Symphony Orchestras.

Piano recitals have played a central role in Volodos’s artistic life since he began his career. His repertoire includes major works by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Beethoven, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Prokofiev and Ravel together with less often performed pieces by Mompou and de Falla. Volodos is a regular guest of the most prestigious concert halls of Europe and appears regularly in Berlin, Vienna, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Zurich, Brussels, Munich as well as at the Salzburg Festival.
