@belialah hahahahha it was incredible!! he played schubert and schumann... i didn't know that a pianist would play all those pieces to the public... i don't know how can i say it in english... you know after playing the program thay play other pieces as a gift... well he played 6 or 7 pieces more! including la malagueña! ( you know he was in spain so) it was the best performance i've ever heard of this piece.... so beautiful and powerful.
@diamondsilvia83 jajaj oye eres de españa?.....eres un desgraciado jajajajaj no de verdad que dichoso poder verlo en vivo. el recital suena increible, no puedo ni imaginarme lo grandioso que pudo estar.....Volodos es absolutamente increible, si si yo se que el estudio en el Reina Sofia, jajajajajaja, seguro que estudio en cualquier lugar....bueno te envidio por todos lados!!viste a volodos y eres de España, un pais absolutamente hermoso, y cerca del Reina Sofia!! Saludos.
@belialah más bien desgraciada! jajaja si estudió en el Reina Sofía... aunque no sé, hay tantos buenos conservatorios por Rusia y bueno en general por Europa que se viene para España.... aunque bueno el Reina Sofia es un buen conservatorio, pero a nivel escuelas de musica y conservatorios de ciudades pequeñas el nivel no es gran cosa... y si el recital fue increible, verlo hacer esas octavas a toda leche y tan fuerte que parecian truenos es increible... verlo en directo... y vino aqui a Galicia!
@diamondsilvia83 Hola!Mira te voy a decir no de mis palabras sino de palabras de mi profesor, el es ruso, salio del Tchaikovsky, el piensa que depende de lo que uno quiera...por ejemplo tengo dos compañeras, una niña, otra de 18 años, ellas de fueron al Tchaikovsky mas que todo por la cultura inpecable de ese lugar, bueno y por que Rusia es la cuna del Pianismo....Otro compañero le ofrecieron Beca ahi mismo, tiene 16 años, pero el no quiere, el quiere entrar en Julliard....continuo
@diamondsilvia83 Yo le pregunte a mi profesor que cual es la diferencia??bueno el me lo puso asi, la mayoria de Rusos, que sacan una Maestria o un Bachillerato en el Tchaikovsky, ojo no todos, piensan de una vez, ok me voy para Julliard a sacar el Doctorado..por que? segun me dijo es por que es en Estados Unidos en donde se hace mas dinero, y un titulo de Julliard es suficiente para toda la vida...ahora
@diamondsilvia83 yo le pregunte por El Reina Sofia, y el me dijo que el Reina Sofia tiene exactamente el mismo nivel Pianistico que Julliard, solamente que es un poco diferente, segun le entendi el Reina Sofia es mas para especializarse en algo, o por un profesor en particular, como en el caso de Volodos, ademas de que la vida en Europa es super cara, bueno jajajajaja mas cara para mi que soy costarricense
@diamondsilvia83 Bueno en fin, si a mi me pusieran a escoger(lo cual no va a suceder jajajajajaja) de una vez escogeria el Reina Sofia, por que? bueno, por la calidad de la enseñanza, por los profesores, por la cultura Española, y por lo que significa tener un titulo de ese lugar....como dije antes yo pienso que es dependiendo de lo que uno desee(en caso de que el dinero no sea un problema)...En rusia la vida es bastante dura, en Estados es un poquito mas simple..
@belialah A ver claro que el Reina Sofia es un conservatorio importante... yo más bien me refiero a los pequeños conservatorios... realmente los profesores ( los españoles) no estimulan a los alumnos desde que son pequeños.. como te explico... te pongo como ejemplo el mio personal... yo cuando entré en el conservatorio con 8 años me ponian un libro de partituras con cancioncitas tontas... no me ponian estudios de inciacion a tecnica... jamás me corrigieron la posición de la mano...
@belialah Sigo: los profesores no se preocupan de desarrollar las capacidades de los alumnos(y no soy la unica que lo piensa).Hasta que llegó un profesor cubano(el mejor que he tenido nunca)que me ponia un monton de estudios de tecnica..y no paraba de decirme que los profesores de aqui y el nivel en general es muy bajo..y que él mismo se daba cuenta del pasotismo de los profesores españoles (por lo general).Menos mal que apareció ese hombre porque si no nunca habria aprendido a tocar el piano.
@diamondsilvia83 jajajajaja bueno por ese lado claro que la entiendo......bueno los pianistas cubanos son EXELENTES son creo que los mejores de latinoamerica, ellos se caracterisan por eso, por ser muy muy buenos.....aqui en Costa Rica es igual...Antes de que llegara ese Ruso aqui, pensar en un pianista de primer nivel Costarricense era una broma, Costa Rica no existia en ese ambito...es como otro mundo verdad?cuando uno encuentra una persona que uno sabe que es demasiado profesional!! jaja
@belialah si! es genial! el mio en concreto era muy estricto y perfeccionista.. con el aprendi un montón de cosas. La verdad es que si, saber que te da clase un autentico pianista como el... llegas a clase e intentas asimilar todo lo que te dice...era genial... de hecho poco despues de que se fuera de donde yo soy, me enteré de que habia sido 5º premio en el Concurso internacional Tchaikovsky. Pero lo peor es que nadie lo valoró nunca. Asique tu profesor es ruso? seguro que es genial!
@belialah jajajaja te entiendo, te entiendo. El mio tambien lo era, de hecho todo al que le daba clase le odiaba... jajaja pero esos son los mejores profesores porque son los que más saben, y los que más te van a enseñar... es que es el mejor profesor que he tenido... una pena que no lo supieran valorar...
Y si, de un pianista ruso que te vas a esperar... si es ruso, y además pianista! jajaja me gustaria que me diese clase uno la verdad!
@diamondsilvia83 jajaja bueno, si algun consejo te puedo dar(aunque yo no sea nadie) es que si tienes la oportunidad de estudiar con un Ruso, si, lo hagas...es que parecen personas de otro mundo, y, bueno en mi experiencia, tengo un profesor y una profesora, ellos son com dije antes militares, pero a la vez son personas absolutamente nobles, cariñosos, y ellos lo hacen sentir a uno como si uno fuera Kissin JAJAJAJAJAJAJA (pobrecillo)saludos
@belialah jajajjajaja kissin!! ya le llega! desde luego si tengo la oportunidad lo haré eso lo tengo claro, porque el profesor que tengo ahora pues...es buen profesor, pero muy blando para mi gusto, a mi me gusta que metan caña!! jajaja a ver cuando aparece otro profesor asi... o sino voy a tener que ir yo a buscarlo!
@violiniztapianizta I can but not nearly as good as this guy lol. His version took me so friggin long to learn. It's the reason I learned how to do thirds so well though.
@Astraios91 Liszt's 13th Hungarian Rhapsody, the ending bit, but the thing is he made quite a lot of modifications to the original, so it should be Liszt-Volodos Hungarian Rhapsody No.13. The original wouldn't be as glamorous and impressive as this. For the original I would suggest Hamelin's. He's a master
The perfect treat. Clear image, superb sound and the alien himself providing the chills. Life is good when one is able to witness such genius in action. His various transcriptions are something that people will remember for a long time and will inspire new generations of musicians. Talking about younger generations i am hopeful to hear Yuja Wang coming up with one of her own transcription in the future.She also has an incredible technique and the musical maturity to do so. Beautiful video thanx.
This was the first time I heard the complete performance of the thirteenth rhapsody. When I learned it, it turned out Volodos made a ton of changes. This is my favorite of his transcriptions, all the divergences make complete sense.
Volodos shouldn't hoard the scores to his transcriptions. :( I'd purchase them if he published them.
Come on ladies and gents. your comments are overly critical.
Whilst his transcriptions are often a huge departure from the original style of any given piece, give the man his due.
He's an incredible pianist, and even if his 'variations' lack much of the original content they represent outstanding musical awareness and understanding.
Arcadi Volodos > Yujia Wang, and did anyone else notice the girl in the life vest at 0:43? thats really random especially since people are watching to see him play the piano, not watch some awestruck girl in a life vest, lol

First of all, he didn't use any "cuss" words. Second, fuck your fucking over-fucked sperm collecting face, your mouth is not worthy of the semen drying inside of it. Third, shut your pussy-ass mouth, if you saw my face you would be trembling and wouldn't dare to say anything.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hahaha
hey ink, what color are you huh? red? yellow? or brown as a piece of shit?! u said shut your pussy ass mouth, is that mean you know what pussy ass mouth is? is that mean u had a pussy ass mouth before?
i know if i see your face, i wouldn't say anything because i probably cannot stop laughing, u crap ass
It says right at the top Volodos. He is my favorite pianist! He has an amazing cd with a bunch of his transcriptions. Click on my profile to see his hungarian rhapsody no 2
im a touring mucitian and played with this guy rachmaninovs 3rd for piano i was 1st chair clarinet....he is fucking amazing not to mention he is the best pianist in the world
great the winners of the van cliburn competition were here and performed rachmaninoff no 2 tchaikovsky no 1 prokofiev no 2 was an incredible experience to see them yep you know at least 8 hours of practicing minimun
LOL. what kind of implication. and what kind of physical attributes are you talking about? and by the way, we don't look at music because it cannot be seen. we LISTEN to music, u got it faggot?
So, you still don't get the gist of my responses? Why start an argument if you can't face failure? Responding with provoking statements. Just like a kid would do.
no one is starting is argument. you're the one who responded to my comment in the beginning. and hey who's the kid here? u really do like like a mummy boy..lol.. plus, u dun argue very well. u cannot even justify your assumption that i was actually refering to lang lang instead of volodos. i have a feeling u can't think nor read.
Now, why did I respond to you? You telling me now that I started this? What don't you get? I like Volodos and Lang Lang.
The only reason why I responded back is because I had free time. I mean, someone wouldn't reply to an asshole when he/she has something to do. It just happened that I'm on spring break.
Also, if you're going to insult, at least consult your spelling and grammar.
you know..i think you're the one coming up with dumb responses. if you were actually listening to lang lang's playing, why would you get the idea that he was a comedian? i love both volodos and lang lang because they have different styles. you've gotta accept that people have different tastes for music and you need to respect their opinions, even if you don't agree with them. just because you dislike lang lang it doesn't mean other people has to dislike him too.
although it was wrong of fanguism to insult lang lang like that, you shouldn't have insulted him in that manner. if you properly persuaded him that he can't just make a careless comment like that, he might've actually listened to you.
o.O WTF? in two words: IM-PRESIONAT

First of all, he didn't use any "cuss" words. Second, fuck your fucking over-fucked sperm collecting face, your mouth is not worthy of the semen drying inside of it. Third, shut your pussy-ass mouth, if you saw my face you would be trembling and wouldn't dare to say anything.

Arcadi Volodos Transcription of Liszt

technically - Liszt drew inspiration from Hungarian Gypsy 'Songs' whilst staying in his homeland - thus creating masterpieces!

Wrong. One is a comedian and another is a musician. Guess which one is which.

If Lang Lang distracts you, you need to grow some attention span.
TheIshter 3 years ago
since when did i say lang lang is distracting me? learn how to read you moron.
fanguism 3 years ago
Implication. By observing the physical attributes, "One is a comedian and another is a musician", you imply that you don't look at the music.
how does i shot web, newfag
TheIshter 3 years ago
LOL. what kind of implication. and what kind of physical attributes are you talking about? and by the way, we don't look at music because it cannot be seen. we LISTEN to music, u got it faggot?

So, you still don't get the gist of my responses? Why start an argument if you can't face failure? Responding with provoking statements. Just like a kid would do.
Give it up, asshole.
TheIshter 3 years ago
no one is starting is argument. you're the one who responded to my comment in the beginning. and hey who's the kid here? u really do like like a mummy boy..lol.. plus, u dun argue very well. u cannot even justify your assumption that i was actually refering to lang lang instead of volodos. i have a feeling u can't think nor read.
fanguism 3 years ago
Now, why did I respond to you? You telling me now that I started this? What don't you get? I like Volodos and Lang Lang.
The only reason why I responded back is because I had free time. I mean, someone wouldn't reply to an asshole when he/she has something to do. It just happened that I'm on spring break.
Also, if you're going to insult, at least consult your spelling and grammar.
TheIshter 3 years ago
oh yeah.. so what if i mistype a few words, mistakes do happen. at least i can read and reason.
fanguism 3 years ago
you know..i think you're the one coming up with dumb responses. if you were actually listening to lang lang's playing, why would you get the idea that he was a comedian? i love both volodos and lang lang because they have different styles. you've gotta accept that people have different tastes for music and you need to respect their opinions, even if you don't agree with them. just because you dislike lang lang it doesn't mean other people has to dislike him too.

anyone who uses these retarded memes in actual arguments is a complete idiot as is anyone who finds them funny.
Thelshter, you disgust me.
VikingBerserker 3 years ago
I'm sorry. You call this an argument? Besides, I only apply that to real life. Granted I looked stupid, but this is the internet.
I'm actually thankful that you replied. Good to see someone on my level that also listens to classical music.
TheIshter 3 years ago
I must admit I was rather shocked to see another one of us watching Volodos play.
VikingBerserker 3 years ago
although it was wrong of fanguism to insult lang lang like that, you shouldn't have insulted him in that manner. if you properly persuaded him that he can't just make a careless comment like that, he might've actually listened to you.
