The greatest pianist of our time. Sokolov is simply the wisest, the most intellectual musician of our time. He knows how to extract all the conclussions, all the hidden meanings, all the gestures, mimics, symbols of a composition.
@@yosserc Then you don't know what to listen for. This man is doing things you will probably not see any other great pianist be able to do. Look at his Tempest sonata mvt. 3 if you want to understand why he's special, especially the modulation to the 2nd theme in the recap.
Behind these super precise interpretations is a very humble person! Had the pleasure to meet him backstage in Portugal after a concert, he received us all with a big smile and a great vibe. Will never forget that moment
I attended a recital of his in Warsaw last November and he generously gave SIX encores! The girl next to me was falling asleep and wanted to go home but I was at the edge of my seat the entire time!
I attended this performance in Madrid. It was miraculous from beginning to end - and in my opinion absolutely no one plays this particular repertoire as well as Sokolov does.
His ornaments are so crunchy that is unbelievable that I'm really impressed from his firmness in his hands. Congrats to Sokolov and, again, you impressed me! ❤
Well, it's really unlikely that a lot of today's pianists will be forgotten considering it's all digital and widely accessible. Pianists going forward will have a wide library of interpretations and other pianists to look up to.
@@mahanmotaghiraad1790 Anyone is free to give their opinion on TH-cam - including you - that's the beauty of it! If you don't like or can't bear that you need to go play somewhere else.
Überirdisch! So rein und klar, pure Musik und purer Geist, aus meditativer Konzentration heraus, ohne jede Show, Eitelkeit, Alllüren. Sokolov ist der wahre Meister und ein Geschenk für die Menschheit.
Among the five greatest - if not THE greatest-pianists alive. It's a shame that the American music lovers don't know more about him! He almost never comes to USA...
Christopher Bieniarz He cant be bothered taking all that ESTA ans immigration bullshit procedures. your loss 😃 He does t travel to the UK for the versame reasons neither. I alwaxs see a lot of London concert goers in Sokolov concerts in Frankfurt
Now I want to play this as an encore, and I'd turn to the audience beforehand and literally only say "The Chicken", and then I'd start. Everyone would be so confused 😂
Grigory Sokolov=THE TITAN OF THE PIANO!! THE GIANT OF THE PIANO!! Emil Gilels=ONLY THE KING OF ALL PIANISTS!! Artur Rubinstein=THE GOD!! Who is The Greatest? The GOD? The KING? The GIANT? The TITAN?.. ..
Just new listening to Sokolov and I never knew I would suddenly fell in love with how impressive he plays, can't wait to listen to other of his existing renditions.
He makes the piano an evocation of a harpsichord even with differen dynamics. I wonder if there are other pianist who have tis color ability at the piano! I fell in love with his mind when I first heard his hammerklavier over 30 years ago !
Perfect recordings. I found him decades ago when I picked up his Hammerklavier . I have always held him up there at the top . Unforgettable and intelligent . Delves into repertoire so rare from russian performers ! Would love to hear him in Ravel and Bartok ? Maybe earlier he programmed the Webern Variazonen ? He also creates magic in live performance as so many videos attest here ! What a master .Now with Argerich ,Schiff ,Kocsis just died maybe Pires .One of the true greats of the ww2 generation!
Sokolov est vraiment bien pour la musique de Rameau, peut-être fait-il un bon pont du clavecin au piano, il est domage qu'aucun éditeur nous propose l'intégrale. Sokolov is really good for Rameau's music, maybe he makes a good bridge from the harpsichord to the piano, it's a shame that no publisher offers us the complete version.
He is incomparable, he is just a magician of musical ornament, if else (with another performance), you have heard a more complete and accurate musical ornament than this ... Write: I believe that Maestro Sokolov is the god of musical melodies, Bravo Maestro
I’d never heard of Rameau (or Sokolov) until Vikingur Olafsson’s Rameau/Debussy album. His approach is totally different, but I’m so glad it led me to videos like this one.
Not being able to come up with a comment deserving of this miracle, I have searched in vain for one among what's already written. I suspect it might be impossible to add anything to this verbally.
His precision with trills and rhythm just scares me
His precision with the chords it's even worse to me
Insanely calculated trills. TRILL MASTER! What a perfect rhythm with such large amount of trills.
comme Josef Hofmann....
@@antoinezygfryd Hofmann was another insane pianist, in the best meaning of the word, that had one brain on each finger.
And technical adjust of the piano
Yes, Sokolov is phenomemal and, above all, he masters the trills like no one else. Except Hamelin, of course.
The greatest pianist of our time.
Sokolov is simply the wisest, the most intellectual musician of our time.
He knows how to extract all the conclussions, all the hidden meanings, all the gestures, mimics, symbols of a composition.

@@josephhapp9 because you actually the stupidest instead of wisest like solokov
@@Xemptuouswho is the pianist you all were referring to? The original comment was deleted and now I'm curious
Rameau was one of the underappreciated geniuses of classical music.... And Sokolov, a man that appreciated and perfected the interpretations for piano
Baroque music*
@@CodeNameParis actually Rameau is part Baroque and part Rococo style
he said classical music, not period
And not underappreciated at all in his time either
@@PedroPoupado So ‘pop music’ can refer to jazz too?
Impressive. This genious pianist has a brain in each finger.
God blesses his hands, feet, brain and .., soul!!!
Ah yessss, the Ten Core Brain
And this isn’t even his best performance of this work.

Exactly. Love him🥰

I wanted to play this piece at my recital when I was younger, but I chickened out at the last minute
You poule!

It doesn't matter that you are no spring chicken anymore, you can start playing at any age, you just need to be more cocky 😉

This is the level needed to make sense of Rameau’s ornaments.
I've never heard such finely-balanced and precise ornaments. Beautiful!!
The ornamentation is up the creek. Solokov needs a copy of Rameau's own table of ornaments!
@@paulcaswell2813 Ah, a member of the early music Taliban I see.

Jealous people probably who can't thrill
@@flouz2 sinners :))
Well… dislikes have now been removed from TH-cam
Maybe because they don’t like the way he plays? Jesus, people, chill the fuck out. He’s great; but everybody is not required by law to like it.
@@johnsrabe am trying to chill but I can't!
The king of trills!
REALLY Grigory Sokolov=THE TITAN OF THE PIANO!! THE GIANT OF THE PIANO!!!
The greatest harpsichord exponents could not equal the fleet and clear billiance of this playing. He is in a class of his own.
Having lived on a farm I can assure you that Sokolov renders the activity of the henhouse very well
Géniales cocottes qui caquètent!
Génial compositeur!!!
Intelligent,délicat, si sensible génial interprête !!!!!!!!
Merci de nous régaler ainsi ...
His crystal clear way of playing is from another planet!
A lot of today's so called famous pianists will be forgotten. Sir Sokolov will not.
Well, it's really unlikely that a lot of today's pianists will be forgotten considering it's all digital and widely accessible. Pianists going forward will have a wide library of interpretations and other pianists to look up to.

First time hearing both him and a Rameau composition . Will be delving into both now.
Splendid performance! The clucking hens come through loud and clear! BrVO!
This is brilliant. I love listening to this. He really is the master of ornaments.
Stunning. The best La Poule ever!
best version i ever heard
+Hsu Fox There won't be anyone disagreeing with you! Superb skill.
What a magnificent, beautiful chicken must she be, to have such a beautiful piece be written about her.

a rooster perhaps? This can't be a chicken
a cock
a hen! thanks google translate
Now I want to play this as an encore, and I'd turn to the audience beforehand and literally only say "The Chicken", and then I'd start. Everyone would be so confused 😂
Amazing that he gets this sound out of a piano. I’m guessing Rameau wrote this for the harpsichord?
Yes, it was written for Harpsichord in France. Hence the name of the collection it’s a part of.
No, accordian and vocoder.
@@katebloggs8243 Be kind, children.
So many different voices from the same note and his unbelievable discipline and power make it a real joy to listen to this virtuoso.
I think that was the first time Sokolov played in Madrid: the whole auditorium was amazed: I was there!!
You lucky bastard!
Виртуозная игра!!! ❤
Великолепно!!! ❤
Incontestablement, un très grand interprète de la musique française
de cette époque de Louis XIV !
Rameau ce serait plutôt Louis XV.
C'est inégalable ! Les notes sont aussi détachées et légères que sur le clavecin, mais avec les nuances du piano en plus.
Aucune poule ne saurait béquetter aussi aussi précipitamment !
the appoggiaturas are so fast and evenly executed, sheer virtuosity! Amazing.
Невероятное мастерство! Как Григорию удаётся исполнить самую сложноую, изысканную орнаментику на современном рояле?!?

Sokolov is great pianist. period.
Это ПРЕКРАСНО!
master says it all
¡¡Un fandango nada menos y, además, interpretado por el gran Sokolov en Madrid!!
no one else can do it so
This is so satisfying
Trills hard upon the elastic limits of the instrument. Played with heart and gizzard!
Epic performance
Rameau is great .
freaking amazing
If my trills were 10 times slower than his, they'd still be 10 times faster than they are now.
I was gonna say 11 and a half as for me
