Great Russian pianist and conductor. Pure Russian. Today I suddenly realized why I like Russian musician's music: deep sorrow, a glory sorrow, deep smelly Vokka joy
That was last December. It was heavily snowing in London. The train couldn't move even because of snow.. I've got a ticket to go to his concert in Barbican. it was Exactely the same concerto but with Riccado Chailly/Leipzig Gewandhaus. This concert was one the highlight concerts in 2010 in London. Everyone wanted to go.
However the day was coming I should stay at home for some reason. I have to give my ticket to a friend. It was too late to return to the venue. In returning my tear was dropping. I think I missed this concerto so heavily as the heavy snow dancing in every corner in London.
And also I so earger to hearing this concerto and was so so ready in waiting and waiting for the beautiful moment come to me: the first note, the first drop of sound played by Volodos, as a begining of a fire work party before Christmas 2010.
And then nearly 1 year late I found his video to enjoy. Thak you God of music
Thank you for bearing my beautiful english!
