In his new live recital Grigory Sokolov brings his unmatched musicianship and command of the piano to the music of Purcell and Mozart, followed by encores which are far more than celebratory extras. This is music-making to be treasured and another indispensable addition to the catalogue.

He uses the capabilities of the modern Steinway judiciously, maintaining some of the qualities of the spinet and harpsichord of Purcell’s time whilst using but not over-using the vast tonal and dynamic canvas of the piano to draw out a wealth of colours and inner detail...Mozart’s Piano Sonata No.13, K.333, is played with graceful elegance and a beautifully song-like approach to the melodies.
