Grigory Sokolov playing Bach's Partita 6, mvt 1, live around 2003. This is an audience recording and has some distortion, however the power and beauty of the performance make it necessary to share.

  • Beautifully said - if more people understood this, a lot of the childish bickering on youtube about who's the best artist would cease!

  • sokolov qui veramente è meglio di gould, tempo da clavicembalista, chiarezza del fraseggio, il passaggio a 3.30 poi, con un mezzo piano, è semplicemente sublime. e poi bisogna dire che è dal vivo! tutti in piedi! anzi, in ginocchio...

  • HahA! So show us your Version, guys! One of the most genious Interpretes alive und ever. No Comment.

  • you guys like it fast like that?

  • I normally love Sokolov's playing, but this performance doesn't work for me...it's just way too fast. As piano playing per se, it's very impressive, but as music, less so.

  • This magician can make a piano talk.

  • @jhc0907 Anche se è conosciuto come un grande pianista, non deve piacere a tutti, per forza. Ho notato che ha una visione molto personale e anche molto ostinata, su certe opere pianistiche. Ho sentito eseguire William Byrd, Rameau e Francois Couperin con troppo impeto percussivo. Inoltre è da molto tempo che non suona più con orchestre, e non ho mai sentito suonare assieme a quartetti d'archi, o con cantanti o altri solisti. Cosa ne pensi ?

  • Very interesting performance. For an student used to hear only Gould/Bach recordings, it is a new point of view. Very live and dinamic.

  • the best pianist in this planet

  • So fresh, so vital, so musical, so precise, so much virtuoso, ... so much everything.

  • For me Sokolov is a recent discovery. I didn't know that today there was such a big grandmaster of the piano. Respect.

  • he makes angels round...he found a melody, it s strange.
