Volodos performs from time to time in Europe- this year (like every summer) he plays a recital in Salzburg festival. His last disc I think was 4-5 years ago- late Brahms- Very fine!
His Brahms disc is reference worthy (especially the Op.118 set) although it's not his last! Volodos' last disc to date is dedicated to Schubert: the A major sonata (D.959) accompanied by a few minuets. It was released in 2019 and it's just as good as his first Schubert disc (the one with a the stunning G major sonata).
Hallo Dave, your prononciation of Voormolen is actually very good. I keep wondering why great things like the Kocsis, Rachmaninov and Cziffra boxes are in your overflow room. Maybe you can enlighten us on that in a next video?
I went to Volodos concert once in Hong Kong years ago. He didn't bring his A game that night, with wrong notes and un-clean passages. If I remembered correctly he played the Rachmaninoff Piano concerto #3. But I do like his CD's and I hope to have a chance to attend his concerts again. Compared to Volodos, I like another Russian pianist Denis Matsuev a lot more. I attended his concert in San Francisco and I was totally impressed. It was the best live piano concert I attended since Evgeny Kissin in the 90's

Because they are duplicates.
Will we get a review of the music of Matthijs Vermeulen?
Some year.
Speaking of musicians who have disappeared - where is the violinist Roman Kim?
I'm sure you didnt mean to give Vorisek's dates as 1891-1825.
(See, we do pay attention!)
Of course I did. He lived backwards in a different century.
@@DavesClassicalGuide Oh, like PDQ BACH! Hey, it happens. (My typo, 1925.)
