Renowned as one of the world's top pianists, Grigory Sokolov is celebrated by critics and audiences alike. His sold-out concerts are legendary events, with Sokolov solely devoted to his art. In the release "Schubert & Beethoven," he features live recordings aiming to capture the essence of these masterpieces. This compilation combines performances from two separate occasions in 2013, showcasing Sokolov's interpretation of Schubert's op. 90 Impromptus and D946 Piano Pieces, alongside Beethoven's monumental "Hammerklavier" Sonata op. 106. The recording also includes six exquisite encores by Rameau and Brahms, making it a complete recital experience.
