Info for Beethoven Brahms

Starpianist Grigory Sokolov mit neuem Live-Album: Drei Jahre nach seiner letzten Aufnahme kehrt Grigory Sokolov mit einem Doppelalbum zurück. Es versammelt Live-Mitschnitte von seiner triumphalen Tour 2019 / 20. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Beethoven und Brahms. Grigory Sokolov kombiniert Beethovens fesselnde Klaviersonate Nr. 3 mit den geistreichen Bagatellen des Wiener Klassikers und den herbstlich anmutenden Klavierstücken von Johannes Brahms (opp. 118 und 119). Die Mitschnitte, die er zur Veröffentlichung freigegeben hat, stammen von gefeierten Auftritten des Pianisten in Saragossa, Wuppertal und Rabbi (nahe Trient) im Sommer 2019. Ergänzt wird das Live-Doppelalbum um eine unterhaltsame Melange aus Zugaben: träumerische und tänzerische Gefühle weckende Kompositionen von Rameau, Schubert, Brahms, Rachmaninoff und Debussy.

Grigory Sokolov, der am 18. April 2020 seinen 70. Geburtstag feierte, pflegt das Repertoire seiner Soloauftritte und Alben selbst zusammenzustellen. Er ist berühmt für seine geschickt arrangierten Programme, die stets eine eigene Dynamik entfalten. Das wird man nicht nur auf den beiden Tonträgern erleben können, sondern auch auf der dem neuen Album beigefügten DVD, die einen Konzertabend des Pianisten aus dem Jahre 2017 in Turin dokumentiert.

"Sie dokumentieren sein stupendes pianistisches Niveau. Sokolovs Magie aber entsteht im Augenblick, in seiner feinen Kunst, Musik über Epochengrenzen hinweg zu beleben, zum Schweben zu bringen, immer eingedenk, dass unsere Spiele enden müssen." (Tagesspiegel)

"... einer der größten lebenden Pianisten der Welt ... Das Spiel ist zum Teil atemberaubend in seiner Klarheit, Artikulation und Farbe ... Es ist ein Schatz" (Andrew Clements, The Guardian)

Grigory Sokolov
Born in St Petersburg, Grigory Sokolov began studying piano when he was five, attracting early attention from Russian musical circles due to his precocious and extraordinary talent. At seven, he was admitted to the St Petersburg Music Academy in Leah Zelikhman's class. In 1966, at the age of sixteen he rose to prominence in the musical world as one of the most interesting and promising talents of his generation by winning the First Prize of the Tchaikovsky Competition, an award granted unanimously by a jury presided by Emil Gilels.

The depth of his musical approach, the width of his repertoire (from Byrd to Schönberg), the seriousness and originality of his musical intentions, together with the precision of his performance are praised by the public and by world critics alike. He is regularly invited to perform in the most prominent venues in Europe, the United States and Japan. He has appeared in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Amsterdam, Munich, New York… and worked with the most prestigious orchestras such as the New York, London and Munich Philharmonic orchestras. Myung Whun Chung, Neeme Järvi, Herbert Blomstedt, Sakari Oramo, Valery Gergiev, Trevor Pinnock are among the 200 conductors under whose baton he has performed.

His discography with Melodya and now Opus 111 also includes live recordings acclaimed by the press, such as historical recordings of pieces by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Brahms, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev. About his recording of The Art of Fugue with Opus 111, critic Bill Newman describes Sokolov's performance as full of skill, clarity and rythmic panache. His version of the Diabelli Variations (Opus 111) is also hailed by the critics.

Grigory Sokolov's performances use the whole spectrum of colours allowed by the instrument and contrast the slightest nuances of the partition. His talent associates a volcanic personality with an unmatched musical stature.
