Rachmaninoff

Vsevolod Zavidov (born in 2005 in Moscow) is nowadays considered one of the most promising young pianists of the great Russian tradition. As a student of Nelson Goerner, he made his name on the international stage after winning the inaugural Radu Lupu Prize in 2024 and the UBS Young Soloists Prize in 2025. Now he dedicates 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: "An almost impenetrable music. Not just a composition, but an entire mythology. Interwoven with countless references to his works from all creative periods, it is like a cipher - full of veils, transformations, ironies, reminiscences ... and yet one and the same story," says Zavidov, who concludes this colorful programme with a beautiful transcription of the famous Vocalise from 1912.
