His understanding of agogic time, that if you slow the tempo somewhere you have to move the tempo faster before or after to make up for it, is AMAZING. In every motive you can feel him weighing out the balance between the two to keep the balance true. Perfection.
...und es gibt sie doch noch: wirklich gute Musik, einfühlsam und tief gespielt und doch schon über 300 Jahre alt. Meisterhaft und fast unerreicht gut gespielte Verzierungen, wie sie typisch für diese Zeit waren. Danke, Herr Sokolov und Herr Rameau.
@@classicfan4683 Ah...? it's the same partition , and on more thing : in any case it wasn't written for piano but two versions 1) for harpsichord solo 2) for soloists, choir & orchestra. The comparison is perfectly valid, as example the very huge and principal reason : the original partition didn't indicate "pedal" as discretly does Sokolov. I just hope you don't have in mind that silly idea spreaded during decades that piano is the technical improvement of harpsichord !
A true genius! I ordinarily prefer the harpsichord or clavichord for Barque keyboard music, but the incredible sensitivity and warmth with which Mr. Solokov plays makes hearing this music on the piano a sheer delight. His expressiveness is astounding. I never grow tired of listening to his interpretations of Rameau!
I feel great emotion to hear this concert again. I personally attended this concert in Berlin, and part of the cheers and applause that you hear is mine. We did repeat five encores at Sokolov.
+Eduardo Young An experience to never forget. A very serious and sensitive artist he is - like Jascha Heifetz, Ivry Gitlis, Carlos Kleiber, and very few others.
+Eduardo Young How lucky! I was at a Sokolov performance 10 years ago, in one of the five-euro seats in Paris where you can't actually see the stage at all. I didn't know Sokolov but was happy to have a cheap concert. By the end of the first movement of the first piece he played (a Schubert sonata), I knew with absolute certainty that he was the greatest pianist alive. I've never been able to see him since, though I'm hoping to someday...
I'm hard pressed to name a better dead pianist tbh. Michelangeli? Horowitz? Richter maybe? I dunno, I my opinion Sokolov is the best of the recording era

+Philippe Yared And lots of notes! People drive me nuts when they, like Glen Gould, play all ornaments the same way (as a turn) using 3 notes! Sokolov is absolutely delightful and a very respectable artist.
Sublime music, gorgeously performed. To those who say Sokolov is "too Romantic," how do you know? Look at the art, architecture, and literature of Rameau's time: grandiose, over the top, expressionistic, larger than life! Bloodless "purists" make me sick.

My now 25 year old daughter stumble in at Konserthuset Stockholm a few years ago to listen to Mr Sokolov! I myself listened to Tatiana Nikolayeva in Berwaldhallen (Bach) in the eighties..
Fabulous dimension given to a composer who was Bach's senior by two years and seems so modern. Also listen to Vikingur Olaffsen in Rameau. A great new pianist!
@@carmenaballi Estando las decenas de obras fantásticas e introspectivas de los Couperin, los libros de Rameau, la pirotecnia de P. Royer, etc. yo no entiendo como los pianistas no se aburren de solo tocar Bach cuando quieren tocar barroco, es mas, ni Handel quieren tocar 😩😩
@@ruperttmls7985 hola, a ver Bach nunca aburre, y por supuesto es la culminación del barroco, eso no implica que no se puedan interpretar a estos compositores que mencionas, sus obras son preciosas, pero Bach está por encima de todos ellos tanto en profundidad como en dificultad por ello se le interpreta mas, por otro lado estoy de acuerdo en que no hay que dejar de lado a otros grandes compositores, pasa lo mismo por ejemplo con Scarlatti, siempre interpretan las mismas sonatas ¡y tiene 500! Y ahí tenemos también las sonatas maravillosas del Padre Antonio Soler, ¿cuántos pianistas las interpretan?, ¿y las obras de Manuel de Falla? ¿Y Granados?… en fin, suerte que algunos se toman su tiempo, como el gran Sokolov en compartirlas.
@@carmenaballi Si, pero por mas grandioso que sea Bach, al igual que Scarlatti siempre son las mismas suites, los mismos preludios del clave BT, etc. Yo no estoy diciendo que dejen de tocar Bach, pero el barroco fue mas de un siglo de música como para limitarlo a una sola persona.
@@ruperttmls7985 exacto, totalmente de acuerdo, es lo que te digo siempre las mismas sonatas y las mismas suites… yo estoy grabando en mi canal incluso las pequeñas obras de grandes compositores que han dedicado a la infancia, y muchas son joyas que merecen ser conocidas, incluso estudios.

chipncharge94 I think he plays it as a mordent so the e but its up for your own interpretation you can even vary during the piece if you would like to create some contrast. Music is fun :)
Oh don't have those but interesting, he plays it f-e-f-e-f I think of or even one more. I like to vary where to use a trill and where a mordant, yet keep it consequent
WalyB01 - Rameau has a very meticulous system of embelishments with special signs. In case of the first note of the piece he writes f) ) = mordent - If he wants a longer trill he uses the usual trill sign. The french composers of this time were very meticulous in this regard (in comparison to the italians who improvised a lot). f) = f-e-f (f) = e-f-e-f e (c = e-d-c
For nearly my whole life I tried to play meaningful, true, plain. This video leaves me devastated, of admiration, of humbleness, of envy.
when Sokolov plays Rameau, he is the greatest artist on Earth

On peut ne pas être un "fan" de Sokolov et admirer ce qu'il fait là. Ses interprétations de Rameau sont éblouissantes.
Jamais Rameau n'a pas été aussi bien servi! Bravo et merci!

So delicate,sensitive .Amazing.Beautiful gentle singing tone.
The sensitivity, emotional level, technique, etc. I could go on, there is just no one in the world who plays Rameau like Sokolov!
Si uno al Mondo c'è :
Alexandra Dovgan....

And Scott Ross, of course
But he plays harpsichord. It's a big difference! @@Cybele-gq4ik

musica divina e performance divina!!! bacia le tue mani, maestro.
Magnifique toucher et rendu extraordinaire des fioritures d'ornementation
Sokolov è un pianista di grande raffinatezza.
Il suo tocco é incantevole
Normalmente no me gustan las versiones de piezas de clavecín en piano, pero esto es simplemente hermoso, muy hermoso.
excellent. Thank you Maestro
one great moment, Rameau et Grigory are amazing....Peace and love on our Earth !
Es una maravilla. Llega al alma. Gracias maestro.
Неповторимо, чувственно!

Wonderful, alive, super-sensitive poetry
I bet the audience got a trill out of that performance
I laughed a little louder than I'm proud to admit.
Hahahaaaa! 👍🏻
the best interpretation ever, i ve listened to it over 20x
by the way it completely redefines an otherwise average piece
la finesse , la précision et la subtilité du toucher sont confondantes de maîtrise : Sokolov est un artiste unique et un pianiste de génie
-- Merveilleuse légèreté. --
To be honest, I am not a Francophile, but this and certain other performances demonstrate to me what an outstanding culture existed there.
This is just pure soul. ❤

une manifestation de la grace, et de l'amour à travers un pianiste extraordinaire, Grigory Sokolov et un compositeur divin, Rameau.
Bravo, cuanto aprendo escuchándole ❤️👏👏👏
Thank you for this lovliness. In many ways Sokolov's musicality reminds me of Antoine Dechaume's.
Délicatesse et sens de la nuance surnaturels !
Sublime . .
Это прекрасно!
Кажется, Рамо писал для Соколова! Хотя, Соколов исполняет великолепно всё, к чему прикасается...
В любом случае, слава Богу за то, что я это слышу!

Escuché a Sokolov en el Auditorio de Galicia, en el "Ciclo de Piano A.Brage",.Inolvidables conciertos, inolvidable artistazo¡
Это можно слушать бесконечно ,да и весь Рамо лучший у Соколова. Представляю ,как звучит рояль в зале. Завидую .
Издевательство над Рамо.Послушайте как Жан Рондо эту же композицию исполняет.Просто На порядок лучше чем у Соколова
@@nigilist966 Рондо хорошо играет, но на клавесине. На ф-но это звучит гораздо приятнее, особенно в исполнении Соколова. Плюс у него шикарное тремоло.
Я не спал две ночи после этого исполнения.
Чудесно! А какой потрясающий звук у рояля!
Не только рояль. Этот зал Берлинской филармонии имеет великолепную акустику.

What a "trill" to hear this performance...
Bravo super brilliance music

He is in love with french culture and he is right
Siempre me he preguntado por lo que le ocurrirá a quienes, ante interpretaciones tan magníficas como esta, marcan "no me gusta".
Great artistry, full of refinement and high culture.....
great 😍
sublime
Sokolov is a great artist and he knows it.
Amazing
I think its fair to use the over-used term stunning in this case.
outstanding
I wish the audience could hold their applause for a few seconds.
I wish applause was cut out of the video most of the time with classical.
