Album insights

Grigory Sokolov's exceptional live performance at the 2008 Salzburg Festival is now captured in "The Salzburg Recital." The recital featured two Mozart sonatas and F. Chopin's 24 Préludes op. 28. Sokolov is renowned for his encores, including 6 pieces ranging from Rameau to Scriabin. After nearly two decades, Maestro Sokolov agreed to release a new album and is now an exclusive artist with Deutsche Grammophon. Hailing from Leningrad, the internationally acclaimed Russian pianist, born in 1950, is celebrated for his profound musical talent, the infinite richness and delicacy of his tone, and the spiritual depth of his performances. Sold-out concert halls have resonated with applause for this enigmatic and visionary artist. Critics proclaim him as a musical icon, with performances characterized as ceremonies or pilgrimages. Admirers recognize Sokolov as one of the greatest living pianists, his piano playing transcending boundaries into a cosmic sphere uniquely his own.
