Anyone come across Arcadia Volodos before. He's a famous classical pianist.

I picked up his album, Piano Transcriptions (shown below), a few years ago after hearing a review on BBC Radio3 (UK classic radio station). Reason I got it is because Radio3 ( )were sl*gging it off saying it was flashy, improvised, transcribed, classic tunes played at 1,000 miles an hour, smoke coming out of the top of the piano, showy...and I immediately thought Keith Emerson, so I went out and bought it.

Of course nothing like Keith Emerson, but a really fabulous work out of classic pieces, crancked up a few notches, played by a classical virtuoso.

    Track Listing:
  1. Carmen Variations
  2. Utro
  3. Melodiya (Melody)
  4. Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
  5. Litanei (Litany)
  6. Aufenthalt (Resting Place)
  7. Liebesbotschaft (Love Message)
  8. Flight Of The Bumblebee
  9. Cinderella: Gavotte, Op. 95 No. 2
  10. Orientale, Op. 97 No. 6
  11. Valse, Op. 102 No. 1
  12. Scherzo (Symphony No. 6)
  13. Largo (Trio Sonata No. 5 BWV 529)
  14. Turkish March
