Vadym Kholodenko, piano

Listen to Vadym Kholodenko

Van Cliburn Gold Medalist Vadym Kholodenko, praised for his “precipitous muscularity and high spirits” (New York Classical Review), comes to Washington Performing Arts with electrifying artistry and a program of epic scope at Sixth & I. The evening opens with Beethoven’s monumental “Hammerklavier” Sonata, followed by the dark lyricism of Ukrainian composer Borys Lyatoshinsky’s Three Preludes, Op. 38. Kholodenko concludes with a virtuosic flourish: Liszt’s original Six Paganini Études, a breathtaking showcase of pianistic brilliance that has long been a hallmark of Kholodenko’s playing. 

Program:
Beethoven – Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-flat Major, Op. 106 “Hammerklavier”
Lyatoshinsky – 3 Preludes, Op. 38
Liszt – Grandes études de Paganini, S. 141
