THE ULTIMATE MASTERY OF GRIGORY SOKOLOV

Grigory Sokolov is undoubtedly one of the most impressive living pianists. The Russian grandmaster dominates his music with such conviction that it is taken for granted and yet sounds like new. Sokolov is superior, but never arrogant; he is the very top, but above everything else he puts himself at the service of the music.

NRC Handelsbladcalled Sokolov the high priest of individuality and balance: “You can seek happiness in travels, spiritual journeys, or books. Or you can attend a recital by the Russian master pianist. An evening with Sokolov is trip-replacing, as his music-making is itself an adventure for and of the mind. Sokolov is not to be missed; the sacred concentration that arises when a pianist lives for music as the sublime expression of human ability, suffering, and ecstasy.”
