It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Orchestral Players -- 2 Questions

Thanks, Andy.

I heard Volodos play 2 things years ago, over fm which used to be worth something up here in the frozen north. One was the "Rach 3" and the other was the Schubert G+ (op. 78?). I thought those performances were very musical. I've heard nothing of his (over internet radio now) since then except for stuff on youtube where he appeared maybe a bit unhinged. Still, a great technique. I've wondered if it was just me, or whether he really was a very promising young talent.

That sort of thing has happened to be before: in 1962, I heard a very young Richard Goode perform the Schubert D+ (op. 52?). That performance was unforgettable, yet afterwards, at least in my neck of the woods, Goode sank from sight, not to be heard of again for almost 20 years. Retrospectively, I find his playing since I rediscovered him in about 1980 to amply confirm my initial assessment. Will Volodos likely do the same in years to come, or was he just a "flash in the pan"?
