Performer: Alexei Volodin

Multi-sensory music? Scriabin's Prometheus, Poem of Fire tickles the senses in an ecstatic performance under Stanislav Kochanovsky. 

Rarely-heard Stravinsky piano concertos are coupled with Mozart symphonies with Hans Graf, Alexei Volodin and the Singapore Symphony. 

Plenty to frighten the children and thrill the adults from Volodin in the latest International Piano Series recital at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. 

Curate's eggs are surprisingly common in the musical world: a disappointing concerto performance from an off-form Alexei Volodin but impressive results from Robert Trevino and the RPO in the main work.

No one who had ever doubted the stature of the Eleventh could do so after this.

An exciting rendition of Brahms Second Piano Concerto in the first half was offset by a less than engaging rendition of Hindemith's Symphony: Mathias der Maler in the second.
