You have pianists, and you have Grigory Sokolov. The Russian maestro is a living legend and a frequent guest at Bozar. With a crystal-clear articulation and refined, gentle touch he lends lyrical passages a power of expression that does not leave a single listener unmoved. What’s more, he skims effortlessly through an extensive repertoire: Byrd, Bach, Chopin, Rameau, Stravinsky... At Bozar, it is Beethoven and Brahms that hold no secrets for Grigory Sokolov. Each time, a youthful work looks up to a more mature composition. From Beethoven's early Fourth Piano Sonata to his well-built but still playful 6 Bagatelles. From Brahms' youthful infatuation in 4 Ballades to the 2 Rhapsodies, both bursting with passion.
Piano Sonata no. 4, op. 7
6 Bagatelles, op. 126
4 Ballades, op. 10
2 Rhapsodies, op. 79
