OLEG VOLKOV, PIANO

Our featured artist is Dr. Oleg Volkov, honors graduate of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, and prizewinner of several international competitions, including the William Kapell at the University of Maryland.

Dr. Volkov's international concert career has spanned the globe, taking him from Chile to Japan. He has performed in the most prestigious concert halls, including the Great Hall of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center in New York, South Bay Center for the Arts in California, as well as Tokyo Bunka Kaikan in Japan, Teatro Cervantes de Malaga in Spain, and many others.

Oleg Volkov’s performances have been enthusiastically received by audiences and critics alike. In a review of Volkov’s performance of Rachmaninoff Preludes and Sonata No. 2, Joseph McLellan of the Washington Post wrote: "Volkov's piano stormed and whispered... There was a crystalline purity of tone, a superb clarity of definition in harmonies and counterpoint, an evenness of voicing and a lightness of touch and pure dexterity that could leave an audience breathless."

His recording of the Rachmaninoff Second Piano Concerto received the following words of high praise: “Volkov, one might daringly observe, approaches artistic perfection in this performance. In sum, this is one of the finest Rachmaninov Seconds I’ve ever heard.”

“Put simply, you’re not likely to hear playing with this kind of individual approach in the concert hall or on recordings.”
