Just attended an Arcadi Volodos concert...

...and it was amazing.

He played Schubert (Sonata in A minor D 784), Brahms (Intermezzi Op. 117) and Liszt (Sonata in B minor

). Not to mention, about 12 or 13 encores (maybe there were less, I lost count of them, some of them were Liszt's En reve, three Schubert's Minuets and Malagueña by Lecuona).

If he comes back next year I'll definitely be the first in line to see him again.
