Sokolov

Description

The unique, unrepeatable nature of live performance is central to understanding the expressive beauty and irresistible honesty of Grigory Sokolov’s art.
The Russian pianist’s poetic interpretations stem from a profound knowledge of the works in his vast repertoire.
His recital programs span everything from transcriptions of medieval sacred polyphony and keyboard works by Byrd, Couperin, Rameau, Froberger, and Bach to the entire Classical and Romantic repertoire—with a particular focus on Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, and Brahms—as well as seminal 20th-century compositions by Prokofiev, Ravel, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Schoenberg, and Stravinsky.
He is widely regarded as one of today’s greatest pianists, an artist admired for his visionary introspection, hypnotic spontaneity, and uncompromising devotion to music.

Born in Leningrad, Sokolov began his musical studies at the age of five; two years later, he commenced his training with Liya Zelikhman at the Leningrad Conservatory.
He gave his first public recital at age twelve, and his prodigious talent was recognized in 1966 when, at just sixteen, he became the youngest musician ever to win the First Prize at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow.
While Sokolov undertook major concert tours in the United States and Japan during the 1970s, his talent evolved and matured away from the international media spotlight. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, he began to appear more frequently in major European concert halls and at leading festivals. Grigory Sokolov, piano
