Thank you for going to the trouble of recording this for us Anson. I really hope Yunchan Lim hears it , if he hasn't already. I can already see some parallels in his hand movements in the large sound areas in the Rach 3, and in his attention to detail as well. Solokov is incredible. The best Rach 2 I've ever heard.

As a pianist who has heard countless recordings of Rach 2 and regularly attends Sokolov's recitals (I consider him the greatest living pianist) I am astonished that it's taken me so long to discover this recording. Undoubtedly the best I have ever heard. Sokolov sounds like his own orchestra, the voice control, colours, and sheer force are truly superhuman.

I’ve never heard of any world renowned soloist, who would prefer playing with little known conductors, but Grigory Sokolov does it to guard his artistic style and give “unspooled” new talented conductors chances to develop their own ways, refreshing his views of many times played compositions. The winning combination!

[@armandoyague6819]

Jukka pekka is a well known conductor! At least in europe. Sokolov is not playing anymore with orchestras, he had troubles with many conducters

Rachmaninoffs second piano concerto is not just technically impressive, but certainly the most beautiful piece ever composed. Words cannot describe the sublime joy and tranquility of the flute passages, nor the utter dispair of the first theme. Rqchmaninoff takes us, the audience through the entire spectrum of human emotion and experience, and he does so constantly reminding us that no matter how terrible and unjust things may become they always have the possibility to get better. This is the piece i will never stop listining to and this is the piece that i will love until i die.

[@shanestuddard2606]

What a beautiful essay. Thank you.

[@sondrasmith2691]

I will accompany you on that journey. Rach. was my fav Composer by far. This Concerto is my very favorite. There is an old movie called, "Dangerous Moonlight." The producers or what have you tried to get Rach. to write the music for it, for which request he declined. So, a different artist was commissioned to write its music in as close a Rach. Style as possible. HE SURELY DID! It's called the "Warsaw Concerto," and the most beautiful thing I have heard outside of this Rach. Concerto. Look on KZbin for a girl at a baby grand piano beside a big window, wearing high heeled shoes, with long hair. I think her name is Olga. She clearly has the best rendition of that song. If you haven't heard the Concerto, I think you instantly fall in love with it, as did I. Happy listening! 😊
