Founder Len Mullenger: Len@musicweb.uk.net MusicWeb Internet powered by FreeFind Haydn, Komitas, Prokofiev: Grigory Sokolov (piano). Queen Elizabeth Hall, Sunday, February 10th, 2002 (CC). Grigory Sokolov is a remarkable musician. His sheer force of personality and the integrity of his interpretations go hand-in-hand with playing of tremendous ardour to leave one breathless with admiration. The programme reflected Sokolov’s wide repertoire. He plays with the lights firmly down so that attention is focussed purely on the musical expression: no reading of the programme notes while the concert is in progress here. This certainly served to lend an intimacy to his Haydn. The long first half was taken up by three sonatas by this composer: F, HobXVI:23; D, HobXVI:27; E minor, HobXVI:34. It was an arrangement that worked well, the restrained F major working its way to the grander, almost Romantic E minor via the quirky (and sometimes quasi-orchestral) D major. Sokolov was able to bring the audience in to Haydn’s world immediately. If one was in awe at his superbly even touch in the first sonata, it was wit that was to the fore in the second. The presto first movement of the E minor was determined in approach. Throughout these Sonatas, Sokolov did not let the momentum of concentration slip for a moment, an impression enhanced by his tendency to hunch over the keyboard; in fact, the only threat to this concentration came from that scourge of modern society, the unmuted mobile telephone.

Summer Series 2005, Concert 5 Friday June 17th at 7.45 pm This concert has only a few tickets left Grigory Sokolov A Piano Recital by the Russian Master "Sokolov’s fingers can do anything required of them: the clarity of articulation is total; the power of a crescendo seemingly infinite; the sheer strength at the forging point of mental observation and physical realisation breathtaking." The London Times, 2004 In the 40 years since the 16-year-old Grigory Sokolov was awarded first prize at the International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow in 1966, the world has been blessed with what one American critic recently called "a kind of pianism, musicianship and artistry one thought had vanished forever". Championed at a young age by Emil Gilels and a prominent figure on the Russian music scene since his early teens, Sokolov has gained an almost mythical status amongst music-lovers and pianophiles throughout the world. It is not at all surprising that Russia’s best-kept musical secret of the ‘60s and ‘70s has since earned an almost religious following in the West. He is considered by many today to be the world’s greatest living pianist. Schubert Sonata in A major, D.959

The Paris recital of 2002 is filmed sensitively and undistractingly by Bruno Monsaingeon, who provides a useful note about the project, and the sound quality is superb. Sokolov prepares and perfects a single programme each season, repeating and honing it to perfection throughout his long annual touring schedule. He is clearly at his best in a large auditorium and there were reservations about his recent appearance in London's Wigmore Hall, with critics seriously at odds with one another (q.v. reviews in The Times and ).

He did not seem to have anything special or coherent to say in this music. It was romantic, with build-ups of crescendi, as if an organist was using (anachronistically) a swell box; the audience seemed to have loved it, which must be the main thing. I should have been more sympathetic and interested if Sokolov had opted for historic Bach arrangements, perhaps some of Busoni's or Siloti's; an area explored so fruitfully explored by Angela Hewitt.

Art of Fugue Main Performer or Conductor: Griegory Sokolov Instrumentation: Piano Individual Works: Art of Fugue, BWV 1080 2nd Partita, BWV 826 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Opus III Catalog Number: OPS 2025/26 Year Released/Recorded: 2000 (reissue of 1982 recording) Total Playing Time: cd 1: 54'39 cd 2: 55'33 Comments: Omri Tal said: Very mature and contemplative performance! Jan Hanford said: This recording gave me a headache. Sokolov is an excellent pianist but he plays too loudly, or perhaps it was the piano which clanged a lot. He also does not play legato, he plays almost staccato with space between each note. This kind of choppy playing is no doubt extremely difficult, but I found it unpleasant to listen to. In some respects it was much like Glenn Gould (who I cannot tolerate), although Sokolov's performance did have somewhat of an emotional side. Overall, the performance was harsh to my ears, rather than energetic. There were some slower and quieter passages but they seemed to drag and, even then, the sound of the piano was not particularly pleasant. The booklet does not indicate what kind of piano was used. I've read several very positive reviews of this cd so perhaps it just isn't my style. The inclusion of only one Partita is pointless. I'm not one of those people who thinks it's important to fill up every cd. Rather, I think it's important to present an appropriate program, regardless of the length. Not just fill up a cd because they can.
