Hi. For the first time EVER I have drooled. I was watching the volodos vid:

And when i finished watching, i looked down to see that my Greek revision papers were soggy and the ink ad run!
Ill upload the rest of teh concert when i can....
Have you ever *honestly* drooled over piano stuff?

It had a similar effect on me the first time I saw it.

Outrageous display.

As good as anything Horowitz did??

I think he outplays Horowitz in terms of technicality, and his transcriptions are about as hard and impressive as they come, but not magical.
Volodos = perfection (almost mechanical)
Horowitz = magician (almost godly)

Pretty good! Crazed me out though when I first played it and heard trumpets etc, rare!! Must have pissed him off slightly, all that trumpeting before he even began

I drool all the time when I play piano!

I dont know why people think that he is just amazing technically.
he has some of the most moving interpretations of whatever he has played. his rach3 is my favourite, and its not just technically amazing... there is much more to it.

This is definately drooling material.

Well he does use the piano more like what it is than other players: a percussive instrument. Lots of bash bash bang bang.

  WHooooooooaaaaa!!!!! Nerver seen someone play like that EVER!!! That was incredible.

ive got the end to his own 13th hungarian rhapsody and it is even more amazing than that... ill upload it soon but i have to cut each piece out of the whole concert... keep looking at this thread, cos his end to the rhapsody is godly!
You know when they said Liszt and Paganini were posessed? Volodos is posessed by the same beast! lol
only joking... but it is amazing,
