I worked so hard to play this piece halfway decently in college. Now I probably couldn't get past the first line—but none of the time I spent practicing it all those years ago was wasted. Even now, listening to it brings tears to my eyes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIGjguSEmcg …

This is really extraordinary—thanks so much! I'd completely lost track of Volodos. But, then, Russian pianists are typically quite good with Brahms, aren't they?

Volodos is like Zimerman: he seldom records, and (partly for this reason) his every recording is essential listening. His virtuosity is comparable to Cziffra's, but it's the fine details, the delicate subtlety and sensuous grace of his interpretations, that make him so marvelous.

Agree. Volodos plays it best. Brought my wife to tears.
