About

One of today’s great pianists performs in a venue steeped in history: Grigory Sokolov, whose every recital is storied, at the Haydnsaal of Schloss Esterházy, Eisenstadt, where Joseph Haydn lived and worked for some three decades. Sokolov, “The best the classical world has to offer” (Der Spiegel), plays three Haydn sonatas, the Schubert Impromptus D 935, and a generous selection of encores, all in the spectacular hall in which Haydn himself would have performed countless times. His concert from September 2018 is now available as a combined pack with 2 CDs and a BluRay Video.

Sep/Oct 2022

Sokolov’s manner in Haydn is pointed and detaché, which recalls a harpsichord, but his use of rubato is Romantic, and his dynamic shading takes advantage of the piano’s capacities. This amalgam of stylistic gestures is pleasing, and the sensitivity of Sokolov’s phrasing sustains interest.
