Grigory Sokolov

He is a truly exceptional figure on the international concert scene: Grigory Sokolov is undoubtedly one of the greatest pianists of our time. His playing is imbued with a special aura.

He does not announce his programmes years in advance, but only a few months beforehand. This is because, for many years now, Grigory Sokolov has performed exclusively as a soloist, no longer with an orchestra. He plays only those works that are particularly close to his heart and with which he maintains a close artistic connection. His concerts are regarded as legendary, not least because he is always generous with encores. Each of his performances is an event that leaves a lasting impression.
