Ships on: January 1, 2025

Grigory Sokolov presents live recordings of Beethoven, Brahms and Mozart from his acclaimed 2019/20 season tour. Among them are early (No. 3) and late (Nos. 27 & 32) piano sonatas by Beethoven and Brahms’ intoxicating Op. 118 & 119.

“They document his stupendous pianistic level. But Sokolov’s magic arises in the moment, in his fine art of animating music across epochs, making it float, always mindful that our games must end.” (Tagesspiegel, Germany, April 11, 2019)

“. . . one of the greatest living pianists in the world . . . The playing is stunning in its clarity, articulation and color . . .” (Andrew Clements, The Guardian, UK, January 29, 2015)
