Piano Transcriptions / Arcadi Volodos
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-05-08 Summary: Impressive ... The performances are brilliant; Volodos's genius shines through (especially in the Turkish March); and it sets the standard for any other performances of those Horowitz pieces outside of the fabled master playing them himself. My only disappointment came as a result of having acquired most of the Volodos Sony Classical CDs in backwards order, this being the last of five I have now bought.
