...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 !
"Among the world's top pianists today, Sokolov stands out for his extraordinary sensitivity... his mastery of trills is unmatched, and his interpretations are remarkably clear and nuanced... Sokolov's playing is genuinely mesmerizing."
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

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...
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!
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..

@@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.

Vikingur Olafsson needs to be heard first for comparison, as he plays Rameau elegantly and simply, but this Sokolov version is so outstanding, with all the baroque ornamentation performed perfectly, that it is almost super-human.
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
YES

The sensitivity, emotional level, technique, etc. I could go on, there is just no one in the world who plays Rameau like Sokolov!

Magnifique toucher et rendu extraordinaire des fioritures d'ornementation

Thanks to YT and recordings...He never will.
What a beauty! I love his performance.
one great moment, Rameau et Grigory are amazing....Peace and love on our Earth !

la finesse , la précision et la subtilité du toucher sont confondantes de maîtrise : Sokolov est un artiste unique et un pianiste de génie
"Mago del Sonido y Poeta del Teclado" bien merecidos los calificativos. Gracias. Hermosa selección.
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.
To be honest, I am not a Francophile, but this and certain other performances demonstrate to me what an outstanding culture existed there.
Wonderful, alive, super-sensitive poetry
the best interpretation ever, i ve listened to it over 20x
by the way it completely redefines an otherwise average piece
Кажется, Рамо писал для Соколова! Хотя, Соколов исполняет великолепно всё, к чему прикасается...
В любом случае, слава Богу за то, что я это слышу!

Absolutly Great interpret... Bravo.... Don't stop....
Thank you for this lovliness. In many ways Sokolov's musicality reminds me of Antoine Dechaume's.
One word: Perfection!
Escuché a Sokolov en el Auditorio de Galicia, en el "Ciclo de Piano A.Brage",.Inolvidables conciertos, inolvidable artistazo¡
This is just pure soul. ❤
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".

What a "trill" to hear this performance...
to chyba nie to czego miałem posłuchać
ale i tak mi sie podoba
I think its fair to use the over-used term stunning in this case.
Eso debe ser para un clavecín! No obstante Grigory hace ....belleza en fin!

Sencillamente hermoso.
Is there not a complete recording of the entire concert together instead of all these clips?
A little sample of the great genius J P Rameau
There was a woman in the (sitting near the middle) initial audience shot who looked a lot like Marta Argerich.
Perfect cantabile
