Please listen also Sokolow's cd version on youtube, maybe you will enjoy more.
As far as Im concerned it seems not fair blaming a life record being too pathetic, - finally it depends on the atmosphere created by Sokolow in the concert which interpretation is right at that moment. And there were thrilling moments in Sokolows life performances that I will never forget: he is the best pianist I ve heard in my entire life.

Too much pathos... sound unacceptable
