Intense, Poetic performances

It is a mystery to me why a pianist of the stature of Grigory Sokolov is receveing ​​so little support and exposure by the record industry. The performances in this cd are Those of a great artist who, not only poss esses a transcendental technique (iesound Control), thus but a supreme musical mind, Which is Not Easily satisfied by the simple beauty of the sound it can generate, and is looking Hanes deepest meaning behind the notes. In other cd's Sokolov has shown us did he poss esses so a virtuosity (finger dexterity Which does not coincide with technique) of the greatest order, but in this cd he shows a fusion a technical and inetrpretative skills Which put him among the greatest of Contemporary Pianists and, as far thesis Compositions are Concerned, almost on a level with judges, Schnabel and Erdman, though his poetic view is closer to the first of These Three Giants.
