Description:Volodos Plays Brahms by Arcadi Volodos, released 6 April 2017. This version of Volodos Plays Brahms comes as a 1xCD. - AKL 2018
Four years after his last album, outstanding pianist Arcadi Volodos explores Brahms's late works for the piano. In terms of their personally coloured intimacy and compactness the three collections of piano pieces op. 76, op. 117 and op. 118 are in Volodos's view among the greatest works ever written. An unequivocal conclusion: "These are manifestly masterpieces," finds Arcadi Volodos. For him Brahms's late piano pieces are among the greatest works in the history of music. "By this stage of his career Brahms had already demonstrated his complete mastery of every large-scale form: he had written symphonies, concertos and sonatas. But now he turned to a miniature format and poured all of his experience into it. His style was now uncommonly compact and at the same time supremely personal. I find that very moving." Brahms had published no piano music for a number of years when he returned to the medium in 1878 and composed a set of miniature character-pieces. For Arcadi Volodos this op. 76 collection represents "an introduction, a foretaste of the late, even more intimate works". By this date Brahms was in his mid-fifties and had spent many years studying the works of a much older generation of composers, his interest motivated by a mixture of veneration and delight in experimentation. It was on this basis that he began to refine his own musical language. The filigree textures of these character-pieces and - to quote Volodos - the "inexpressible depths" that Brahms explored in his final works turn these compositions into arguably the most personal that the composer bequeathed to posterity. As such, they are wholly innocent of any outside influence. Arcadi Volodos's principal concern when recording these late works by Brahms was to reproduce the music's many subtly nuanced colours. "For this intimate music in particular a wide range of colours and nuances is a basic precondition." The present recording was made in the Teldex Studios in Berlin between June 2015 and January 2017.
"Volodos Plays Brahms" is a remarkable CD featuring the celebrated pianist Arcadi Volodos, released by Sony Classical. On this album, Volodos brings his extraordinary virtuosity and deep musical insight to the works of Johannes Brahms, interpreting both well-known masterpieces and lesser-performed gems with sensitivity and passion. The recording showcases Volodos?s unique ability to blend technical brilliance with emotional depth, making each piece resonate profoundly with listeners. Arcadi Volodos has established himself as one of the most distinguished pianists of his generation, acclaimed for his breathtaking performances and award-winning recordings such as "Volodos on Piano" and "Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 3." Sony Classical, renowned for its commitment to excellence in classical music production since 1927, continues its tradition of presenting world-class artists through high-quality recordings that capture every nuance of performance.
