Born in 1972 in Leningrad, Arcadi Volodos began his musical training studying voice, following his parents who were singers, and later shifted his emphasis to conducting while he was a student at the Capilla M. Glinka School and the St. Petersburg Conservatory.
His formal piano training took place at the Moscow Conservatory. Volodos also studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with Jacques Rouvier.
The first album named “Piano Transcriptions”, some of the selections of which were written by Arcadi Volodos himself, was released in autumn 1997.
