September 2019: Alexei Volodin

| PL Pianist of the Month | September 2019Alexei Volodin plays Tchaikovsky – Pletnev Concert Suite from the ballet "The Nutcracker". This month's pianist comes from a suggestion from one of our top fans. Here is what was said about the nomination:"Thank you for great publications, Piano League! I have a suggestion for your next “Pianist of the Month”: Alexei Volodin. An outstanding musician, definitely one of the best living today. In 2003 Alexei has become the first Russian pianist to win the Geza Anda competition. His interpretations are always deep and breathtaking, bringing you to the new understanding and emotions. It also seems like he has the broadest repertoire in his hands. And even when he plays all Prokofiev concertos in one long evening, it is power, lyricism, incredible sound and convincingness at its best.
