St Petersburg-born Volodin, has been much praised for what The Guardian described as his 'staggering technique and furious accuracy'. He has chosen to begin with Schubert's last piano sonata (B flat major, D960), an autumnal and reflective work full of songlike melody. After the interval he performs Chopin's enchanting Ballade No.3 in A flat and Schumann's Carnaval, a series of whimsical musical portraits in which the composer imagines an array of his friends and acquaintances - including Chopin himself - as characters at a masked ball.
