Vsevolod Zavidov Plays Rachmaninoff

Description

Vsevolod Zavidov (born in 2005 in Moscow) is today considered one of the most promising young pianists to emerge from the great Russian tradition. This disciple of Nelson Goerner made a name for himself on the international stage by winning the very first Radu Lupu Prize in 2024 and the UBS Young Soloists Prize in 2025. He has chosen to devote his first solo recording to Rachmaninoff with three transcriptions of violin pieces by Bach, the Études-Tableaux op. 33 and the Variations on a Theme of Corelli: "a music almost unfathomable. Not a simple composition, but an entire mythology. Interwoven with countless links to his works from every period, it is like a cipher - filled with disguises, metamorphoses, irony, reminiscences... And yet, it is one and the same story," says Zavidov, who signs a magnificent transcription of the famous Vocalise from 1912 to conclude this colorful program.
