He is a regular guest at the Concertgebouw: pianist Grigory Sokolov, praised for the enchanting timbres he extracts from the grand piano and for his spiritual tranquility. He gives hardly any interviews and makes almost no recordings, yet the halls are all the fuller. The pianist is keeping what he is coming to play to himself for the time being.

Grigory Sokolov

The Russian-born pianist Grigory Sokolov is a unique case. He rarely gives interviews and makes almost no recordings, yet he invariably plays to full houses. Reviews often mention his 'intense concentration' and 'enchanting timbres,' and spiritual tranquility is also a frequently heard characteristic of Sokolov's performances. He is a regular guest at the Concertgebouw, where he enjoys sitting in the dim light with only a spotlight focused on him and the grand piano. That grand piano has its own personality, according to Sokolov. And he wants to fathom it; after all, they play together. What he plays, the pianist is keeping to himself for now.
