You described Sokolov perfectly. That man commanded the piano like a general commands an army. Unrelenting technical force but with a rich, lush, warm, deeply textured sound!!! Truly sublime🤩

[Durer]

The ZEUS of pianists tossing bolts of lightning!!

[jeffsmith]

Sokolov is of course amazing. But what really impresses me in this little snippet is the orchestra’s response at the end of this snippet. You can feel how Sokolov’s performance here literally inspires the orchestra.

[charles.e.g.]

One of our greatest pianists, and so under appreciated.❤

[solemio]

Великое ВДОХновение. Слава великим Мастерам!!!

[prototropo]

So incredible as to literally defy credibility! How does he muscle through the entire 19th century in 12 progressions, six modulations and no steam-powered locomotive?

[Janna-megl]

какими Мощнейшими эмоциями должен обладать Соколов, чтобы излекать из глубины себя такую мощь !!!!

[franciscoespinozagamboa]

maestro Sokolov uno de los mas grandes

[isaiasramosgarcia]

al oirlo np parece tan dificil, pero ver las manos...

[porcinet]

wow that is amazing playing of one of those passages in Brahms I look at and think - how on earth does anyone actually play this craziness at the volume that Brahms asks for and with such sustained strength? he does

[marinakiritchenko]

Нет смысла слушать короткие отрывки этих великолепных произведений.

[nar]

Wow I don't understand much of this but it sure looks incredibly difficult

[AndroidSon]

И в конце встать и оторвать крышку рояля!

[matthewbergey]

He plays like his teacher, Emil Gilels

[nicolacalabrese]

Insopportabile questo Pianista.Meccanico, quadrato, 2+2 fa quattro, , senza un po' di pathos.Qualsiasi cosa che ascolto di lui mi innervosisce.Sara' che ero abituato ai Michelangeli, Richter, Gileles ecc ....Questo oggi passa il convento Pazienza

[meowswing]

Andsnes made this part sounds easy with his performance with Berlin Philharmoniker...

[silvio]

Sokolov Is huge, but Richter Is untouchable

[PunctusContraPunctum_]

Bravo!!! I still prefer Zimmerman/Bernstein version, but this is really amazing. So much fire🔥 !!!

[kesinsky]

This explains why we are so jealous of the Russians.

[michieldpiano]

I only like Sokolov in Brahms because it is the only composer he plays better than me.
