This album was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for "Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without Orchestra)." Recorded live, this debut with a collection of transcriptions, some of them Volodos' own, shows a real individuality & daring. In presenting popular pieces in virtuosic transcriptions, with Volodos’ own audacious, but masterful playing, this album will find as much an appreciative audience with the seasoned listener as it will act as a good introduction for people who just enjoy piano music.
