This is Grigory Sokolov s debut recital on Deutsche Grammophon, an outstanding live recording from the Salzburg Festival 2008 of central repertoire: W.A. Mozart, F. Chopin & 6 encores.
Few pianists of recent years have become quite such a legend in their own lifetime as Grigory Sokolov. His artistry has attracted comparison with the great golden age Russian pianists of the earlier 20th century; yet the breadth of his repertoire, the epic scale of his interpretations and the apparently limitless range of his imagination are in a class of their own.
