the best. Sokolov is never afraid to play it his way, to interpret it personally. Thats the way it should be, otherwise the performer would simply be a robot.
Schubert didn’t time his music, sorry about that. Sokolov with slower tempi gives us full spectrum of emotions, more intense, that we usually miss with faster interpretations, including Richter’s, who I love otherwise. But it’s your choice, what you prefer.
The last theme that Sokolov plays was erased on the original edition, but Sokolov plays that last theme. (Claudio Arrau plays this piece with this theme too).
@@stonefireice6058 You are wrong in this special case, Richter and Sokolov do play the piece in a similiar tempo and both also play it the original score, of which the composer Schubert later cancelled a part - ignored by these pianists. Anyway, that(!) makes the real difference compared with other interpretations.
The reason being most pianists that perform this piece only play it through the A, B, A structure (the A section being Eb minor and the B section being B minor). However, a handful of performers, including Sokolov, play it with the ABACA structure (the C section being mainly a Ab major trio that Schubert crossed out from his first edition). It's hard to find a score or recording with the ABACA structure nowadays.
