Thanks, not only for the upload, but also for being so thorough with the pieces' names and time marks.

Ungewöhnliche Interpretation der Polonaise No. 1, sehr gesetzt, durchgeistigt, habe ich nie so gehört, wirkt ein klein wenig zu kontrolliert auf mich. Ein fehlerhafter Akkord in dem Stück macht diesem jedoch keinen Abbruch... Der Rest des Programms - phänomenal! (Auch wenn in einigen Programmen diverser Veranstalter bei der letzten Zugabe Bach/ Busoni steht - meines Erachtens ist es die Kempff-Version.) Wundervoll! Sokolov ist mein favorisierter Pianisten, weil er Künstler, Zauberer ist, mit gereifter Intelligenz, menschlicher Wärme, Würde, Passion und Authentizität/ Ehrlichkeit. Alles andere als ein manieristischer Virtuose, wie es so viele gibt.... Danke für das Foto in W. :-) Ich denke noch tagelang daran. Und die Erinnerung wird bleiben, solange ich lebe.

[djmatz]

I've seen him once in Brussels where he played about 8 or 9 encores. Monumental concert (mostly Schubert)!

[katerinadimitrakaki]

The man is a genius!!! What a performance, I envy his perfection, thank you so much!

[skkdobb]

Сердечно благодарю, Вас,
за великолепный концерт!
Всего самого доброго и
не болейте.

[metteholm]

Whatever he touches - becomes monumental! In late October, he will be back in Denmark.... I can´t wait!

[anandsamuel]

I have seen Sokolov performing in Denmark and he was awesome! Cool and collected!
