Pianist Grigory Sokolov is a regular guest at Bozar. Each recital by this master of the Russian school promises to be an instant of rare intensity, like this new timeless moment in the company of Beethoven and Brahms. The Variations and Fugue, Op. 35 from 1802, also known as the "Eroica Variations," inspired Beethoven to write the finale of his Eroica Symphony the following year. The theme, very popular with the composer, who had already used it in other works, led to a series of 15 variations and a highly inventive final fugue. Grigory Sokolov reveals its full originality before embracing three Brahms intermezzi that are at once profound, melancholic and of a rarely equalled beauty.
