@@RaineriHakkarainen i agree with what you have said about sokolov, but i still love brendel, horowitz, barenboim zimerman etc etc. also of the younger generation valentina lisitsa. plus many others, including some unknowns, sometimes young asian students, that i come across on youtube. there's a lot of great playing out there -- i wish i could play like these artists -- but sokolov stands apart; as stated above he makes MAGIC with his hands, heart and soul!

I feel the same as you. I just started listening to him a few months ago. He plays pieces I know very well and makes them sound new. I think he is extraordinary.

well bach is a genius, though

Realmente es un pianista extraordinario que siempre aporta una interpretación fiel pero muy personal....Sorprende su fuerza en sus dedos y su alma aporta algo diferente a otros.

Yes and if it hadn't been for You Tube, I might never have come across this astonishing human being!!

Not only demanding, but achieving!

@@mgioennings.pianist His mind demanding from his figers, arms and feet to produce this intricate, concentrated action we marvel at

Paul Harvey Jr. wrote an episode of "The Rest of Story' many years ago depicting just that...It was about a person who was about to perform a very demanding job requiring thousands of intricate steps which must be done precisely or else he would face extreme ridicule (or something like that-I cant remember all the details as the prelude was presented). The story, typical of the Harvey program, kept the listener in suspense as to exactly what the subject's job was, the Rest of the story revealed at the end that it was a classical pianist, of course. Nothing else would have fit the scene. I have tried to write to the Harveys to find the transcript, but never received a response. Has anyone else heard or seen this production?

Me too. And I keep adding to that number! I just marvel at him.

And there’s no composer like JS Bach!

his interpretation is innovative,imaginary,persuasive,profound.This is the style only belongs to Sokolov .It does deserves tasting forever

I Listen every time it pops up on the feed. Cannot resist.

Yes.

It is you own opinion. But you cannot put the standards in this world, fortunately.

I fully agree with you: this interpretation of Bach's French Overture is magnificent and strong.

No, Sokolov is a pianist, Bach was the genius who created 'works of genius'. Pianists - however good - don't do that! In another 300 years Bach will still be being played but Sokolov will have long been forgotten.

@@adrianwright8685 And you, Adrian Wright, explain to me why Glenn Gould's interpretation of the Goldberg Variationen BWV988 are still a beacon for those who want to deal with this work by Bach; I remind you that Glenn Gould died back in 1982.

@@ilpelideachillemanlio7965 If pianists all thought that Gould's recording were the ultimate versions then they wouldn't bother to make their own - so obviously that's not what they think! Bach died in 1750 - 270 years ago - and there's no sign of his music being forgotten - you really think Gould's recordings will last as long?! And not all pianists do think Gould's version that wonderful - some think it rather overtly 'quirky'.

@@adrianwright8685 Quirky? This is a repeated cliché that is always heard about Glenn Gould. I don't want to dwell on this pianist here - at least for me not at all eccentric, but simply with his personal opinions on making music and, above all, on the recording of a record - I just tell you that his recordings have been sent, with the Voyager spacecraft, in infinite space, in case the spacecraft encounters some planet with other life forms. More than that, I don't know what to answer you. I modestly think that my Glenn Gould CDs will last up to my nephews and nephews of my nephews (with the repeated copies that can be made). So in over 500 years I assume that Gould's recordings will still be heard; and of course the music composed by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Gigaenza -- True...but....Look at how MUCH it took. Greetings from San Agustinillo!

it is. amazing acoustic. cannot stop smiling.

Your describe is accurate!

Imagine the past times, where you could only listen to it once or never.

I meant Maestro, right?

that is italian ,right

@@togeka6295 so how lucky are modern people like us

Yes there are-----try ---SUBLIME

He truly is the greatest living pianist. Flawless technique

It feels for me like God is playing trough him himself/herself! Makes me speechless and it only takes some seconds and I am totally combined with my higher self! Only joy& pleasure, peace, freedom, love... indescribable!

Scott ross

I'm not a fan of many of his trills, while they're basically flawless, they're often too much emphasized and get in the way of the music

Madness? Where on earth did you get the idea Bach was mad!?

He was madly in love with music! haha...sorry I just love that adjective :P

I like the term for Bach. Especially since when I was in Grad school - with a music major - Bach was kind of respected - but sort of as a fuddy-duddy. Doing what everyone else did - but much better. He was never given credit for being an original. And I think the idea of madness is ok in this instance - because what Bach conceived is born out of pure inspiration and fantasy. I know the work and knowledge that went into his music - but the manner in which he put it together is so amazing - it is the work of a madman. Or, if you, prefer, a genius. But "madness" makes him more human - more accessible. And I believe he wanted his music to be accessible to all. Pure beauty.

Pablo Valademan Well- that adverb, anyway.

@@mencken8 You're right, my bad :S

Absolutely amazing!

Еще Татьяну Николаеву послушайте) Тоже великий интерпретатор Баха.

Магия! -в осмысленной технике

"....В чём магия???? Мне не понять." И мне тоже!!!🤔 25

absolutely correct

By very far

Yep!

I like him and Aimard...

@bill Bloggs nobody cares about technique if it's isolated from the rest!...

haha, BangBang the clown! I adore this guy but have to say I am not a fan of his Schubert playing!

Cant stomach those Lang Lang types

Amen

"The russian procreated expostulating Sokolov," I don't emprise comparing him with the sagaciously indefatiuagable Giliels, Horowitz, or multiitudinal of others. Grigori preemiently clamours his coarse trained fingers to a point where the floor underneath him might just cave in. Mr. Sokolov is rather an impeccable mad Stanley Kubric ecydiastiac of his own compotation.

Same here. I just discovered him a month ago. Now I'm obsessed.

Согласен!)

Спаси Бог! хорошо сказано!

Красиво пишите......если бы ещё он так же играл, как вы пишите!!🤣🤣

Pathy1 We can argue Marc Andre Hamelin being there

Kissin has got “it” too.

they are all russian jews

Really? And how the real ONLY GENIUS Mikhail Pletnév?!?😇

Kissin is not in the same league as Volodos, Sokolov, Pletnev. Now with the appearance of the demonic Yunchan Lim we have a new Titan of the keyboard.

Andrey Legkiy what did you say? I can’t read. My sight is blurry

Just bawling. And it’s embarrassing, because I’m on a flight. I think my seat neighbor thinks I’m a lunatic

공감합니다

Ashykenazy , pletnev

Guys... people should stop talking about who is better or worse.... when it comes to music is a matter of who you like or prefer. Who do you like Whitney Houston or Beyoncé or Sinatra or julio Iglesias... stop comparing, you like one or the other, is like painting ... who do you like van goh or Dali?

who are thay?

Indeed, whatever people might think, it is obvious that this man is actually the greatest pianist on earth with Krystian Zimerman. He can only be compared to the very great of history (Richter, Michelangeli, Lipatti, Gilels...). He's the only one who's truly in the same level, even if he's not one of my favourite pianists I just can't deny it.

@e causey ...ah, those KZfaq experts...

You are perfectly right

He's a friggin genius. What do you expect?

I never herad Tudine but I hadf de inmense pleasure to meet Rosaklyn TurecK and her Bach playing was exactly perfect. Much of Gould also, specailly in his younger recordings. Sokolov do not reach such levels and I prefere him playiong Beethoven
