Grigory Sokolov plays Rameau's L'Egyptienne live

Grigory Sokolov playing Rameau's L'Egyptienne live in recital.

[@stevenoutram]

How privileged we are to have Sokolov alive during the age of digital technology. His recordings will live forever and I doubt many will match his talent, dedication and passion over the course of the next millennia.

[@M3sslah]

His thrills are just sick, they are so defined I can't even describe it, and it all fits so perfect with his tight rythm.

[@ce-uphoric]

Messiah rhythm

[@givemetime123]

Tout simplement magique, c'est très difficile pour un amateur d'aborder la musique baroque (pour clavier) , tellement les enregistrements de Sokolov pour ce répertoire sont fabuleux (sensibilité, touché, équilibre.. tout est parfait).... Merci Maestro

[@azertya123456]

Dire que je découvre Sokolov et Rameau. Honte sur moi. Ce type est un génie. Pourtant j'étais fan de Argerich...

[@dominikwrona159]

Fascinating, the ornamentation adds such a strong character

[@Chiara2110]

Grandissimo Sokolov!

[@chrrev1]

Giusto, magnificent.

[@matheom.5400]

Finalmente una clavicembalista "storicamente informata" senza prosciutto sugli occhi ;) Un caro saluto, Chiara, e grazie ancora per le emozioni di cui ci hai fatto partecipi in questo luogo.

[@philomelosalpha]

Une véritable perle musicale offerte en public par un très grand Maître, faite d'une authentique intelligence du style et d'une splendide technique dans le pur esprit Français:)

[@givemetime123]

Excellente version, parfaitement bien articulée et pleine de grâce.

[@sam0xin]

ONLY SOKOLOV makes me younger..kind of newborn...it seems I NEVER heard Rameau or Couperin before...UNPARRARELED MASTER...! GENIUS !

I have the classic Marcelle Meyer set, but Grigory surpasses even that. This is piano playing of sheer genius.

Marvellous stuff. It may not be apparent at first, but it's real difficult to play this music well, and make it interesting. Sokolov is great in it.

He had what Rosalyn Tureck also had in her early days -- the ability, by way of crisp delicate touch and absence of pedal, to make a piano sound as transparent as a harpsichord.

[@SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Ok, but I repeat: "excess" or "correct measure" or "weak measure" are subjective evaluations. For example, someone consider my playing good, with the correct dose of emotional life, someone else tell me I exagger in this. And the same thing happens also with great pianists. But definitively: music is what one play or sing, not what is written on the paper. It is comunication and life, it is the soul of the player that search for its way, the "text" being not more that a track, a starting point..

[@canyoungjoy]

Wow, hard, nice piece! Whats the name gotta mean, something related to egypt? ^_^

[@antoinekirmann2564]

Yong Jun Kim Nowadays it means female egyptian. But in the previous centuries, it was widely used as a synonym of Gipsy, too

[@enforcerusa6173]

Antoine Kirmann thx for the info. Now i can see why this sounds like a female egyptian lol

[@sam0xin]

@susumu07! Over all your comment about NOTHING !!! simply because Baroque , IS THE ONE OF THE GENRE / STYLE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC !!! And SOKOLOV MASTER PERFORMER of XXI century...& WE ARE his CONTEMPORARY ! See or borrow the CALENDAR .

[@canyoungjoy]

sam0xin yup

[@SarrasaniPianoCircus]

....and in fact Tureck's playing is for many ones (and for me) on another (superior) planet respect Landowska and her unuseful words. Tastes are tastes, and there are many good and sensitive Simpson's fans as there are many silly and arid Bach's fans. The relation (our unique and personal relation) with an object (a style, a kind of comunication) is the value, not the object. I'm not interested in defining superior/inferior, but in searching intensity and psychic resonance in what I study.

It's sad to tell, but it's so : during dictatorial situations often arts are more promoted and sustained than in democracy. Your historic analysis is IMHO correct at 100%.

[@SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Ok, perfect. Schnabel and Gieseking are more enjoying ( his Beethoven edition is hilarious) and important for the piano (well played, in the sense of expression and search of nuances and colour) history than the sum of Rachmaninov, Sofronitzky, Yudina, Horowitz, Gilels, Richter, Hofmann, Friedman, Ginzburg, Lhevinne, Feinberg. Interesting, very interesting, I thought the contrary. I thought that (before and after I and II war) slavonic pianists are 90% of the landscape, german less than 1%...

[@Oblomov18]

@darkblueangel1956 ci puoi contare, comunque non me la prendo. non sono sokolov

[@glottis5]

this shit is baller as fuck

[@canyoungjoy]

Agitating Skeleton YOU TRASH TALKER NO WAY JOSE

[@SarrasaniPianoCircus]

But to return to your example-comparation (Simpsons/Mozart) we can assign more attention to Mozart because his comunication continues to be appreciated by someone after more than 200 years (in other words, he is a classic), about the future of the Simpsons we don't know.... Poor argumentation, that doesn't resolve the problem, but better than nothing....

[@SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Before wwII: Schnabel , Backhaus (not so expressive, a little flat, as you tell), Gieseking. Ok. And Rachmaninov, Horowitz, Sofronitzky, Yudina, Goldenweiser, Neuhaus, Gilels, Richter, Feinberg, Scriabin, Hofmann, Friedman (these last 2 polish, but of russian school), Blumenfeld, Ginzburg. Ridicolous to consider this last group more "flat" than Giseking and Kempff. Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Sofronitzky, Yudina, Horowitz are "flat" pianists? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. hahahahahaha.

[@Oblomov18]

@darkblueangel1956 invidia o pura idiozia? Sfogati pure..

[@Perkeno]

Flat, the Russian school? I'd say it's the opposite, German-school pianists are so stiff and boring. There are exceptions of course.

[@uy-ge3dm]

Is he using pedal at the beginning?

[@Yhiith]

sure

[@lafont720]

lol

[@FoivosApostolou]

a lot of it, yup

[@ronwilliams4184]

still too much pedal. see alexandra dovgan's version. his ornaments are better though.

[@katt_matt]

Don't they have the same pedalising in this piece? Or Alexandra Dovgan even more

[@MrJonahWhaler]

I can't help it, but I can't listen to it. Fina, grasp, great technic and approach. A speach so fluent and natural, but to me like some foreighe reading a well known text to me without knowing the language. All the dots and comas, all the - say - idiomas and sentences to here4 contracdict the sence and meaning this music corresponds to me. And it's not the point of romatic or authentic approach (Gould is greatest with Byrd to Me, as Horowitz with Scarlatti).

[@SarrasaniPianoCircus]

In my opinion german school was unsurpassable in boring style, and represents about 1% of piano historic landscape in 20th century. But you are free to consider (that is for me comic, but there is freedom) Giseking and Backhaus playing more interesting and important by an artistic point of view repspect Horowitz, Sofronitzky, Yudina, Feinberg, Hofmann, Rachmaninov, Gilels, Richter..... But please, remember that "excessive" emotions for someone can be "adequate" for other ones. Tastes.....

[@beckerhanshermann8372]

It is not understandable that the game of A. Dovgan and Sokolov equated better. Sokolov's tempi are correct, they are balanced, the child Alexandra plays too fast.Sokolov has a very cultivated touch, the child rather not.
