When does the legendary pianist Grigori Sokolov begin his concert? Not with the first note the audience hears. He spends hours, sometimes together with a piano technician, researching the characteristics and qualities of the instrument he will play. Because, as he says: “We both have a personality, and we play together.” Only then, when he knows the piano down to the finest details, can the first note sound. And it is immediately golden. Expressive beauty, captivating honesty, mystical intensity. His charismatic artistry manages to place even the most familiar repertoire in a new perspective.
At the age of sixteen, the Russian Sokolov became the youngest musician ever to win the Gold Medal at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. That was in 1966. Even before the fall of the Iron Curtain, Sokolov had already achieved a nearly mythical status in the West through his recordings. Today, he is considered one of the greatest among piano enthusiasts. For many years, he refrained from making recordings because he swore by live performances, and to this day, his CDs consist of live recordings. His repertoire? Everything… From Byrd to Stravinsky, from Rameau to Schönberg. And of course, the great composers who lie in between those extremes. Tonight, he will spontaneously choose from this vast repertoire.
The program will be announced later.
