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