Technically, Grigory Sokolov is impeccable, he is a master of agogics and phrasing, dynamics and colours. But all of this is hardly noticeable, so simple and unpretentious is his playing. No antics, no ostentation, no wilful fashion-dependent interpretations.
Allain Steffen

Grigory Sokolov’s beautifully expressive tone and emotional force never fail to astonish the legendary pianist’s loyal audiences across the globe. The critics are at a loss for words with which to describe the musical genius of this mysterious artist. With a seemingly effortless ease, Sokolov plays an extensive and stylistically variegated repertoire, investing it with deeply felt sensitivity and unparalleled insight, rendering ever new interpretations of a piece.

The approach to music-making of this relentlessly dedicated artist is radical: focusing exclusively on solo recitals, Sokolov selects a seasonal programme, which he then performs wherever he appears. He never falls into a routine – each concert is a unique experience co-shaped by the inspiration of the pianist, the atmosphere of the venue and the energy of the listeners.
