His fans know it: Grigory Sokolov reveals his programme only in the course of the concert season. And in truth, it hardly matters what he plays. Whether Franz Schubert or Alexander Scriabin, Johann Sebastian Bach or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Frédéric Chopin or Jean-Philippe Rameau –when Sokolov sits at the keyboard, something extraordinary is to be expected. It is no surprise that his concerts are usually sold out to the last seat. With his supreme artistry, always placed entirely at the service of the music, Sokolov has held audiences spellbound for decades – ever since, to be precise, his spectacular victory at the famous Tchaikovsky Competition in 1966. Encores, as always, are guaranteed…
