Extremely underrated pianist - one of the greatest alive today, his volume of repertoire is unbelievable and his ability to interpret music is immaculate
I listened to him a few weeks ago in Antwerp. After the concert I couldn't listen anything else for about 2 days, because whenever I tried it felt so bland, so superficial, so much lacking depth. That might be called Sokolov effect, and I witnessed it firsthand.
I know nothing about how well a pianist performs a particular piece. All I know is that how Sokolov does it is my choice for saving a piece to my library. I keep wanting to hear this piece again and again.
that's a good choice Sr. You will discovering step by step that actually Sokolov is one of the best in playing Bach or baroque style. If not straightly is the best
Based on what I've heard from Sokolov I'd expected a slower, sort of grand fugue at the end, safe to say I was surprised - and blown away - by what he produced
_The BIG problem with YT is that almost everyday I find a new performer and many times they are better than the last! Mr. Sokolov's Bach is impeccable, perfect in every way! I see that he has the GoldBergs on YT, this way I can place him for sure! 😎

The parallels between the second movement and Rachmaninoff's Vocalise are fascinating. I wonder if Rachmaninioff was thinking of this piece when he composed it.
@@ADGO Listened to Partita' beginning and shortly to other performances on UA-cam. Sincerely, Adgo, felt a strange sensation of Nothing, of void, inconsistent (please, do forgive my basic English). On the other day, Yudina's tempi were fully lived, or, if I listen to anything from let's say Pletnev, even the most elongated tempo sounds true, inspired...lived, just created freely at exactly the right moment!
Hey, Micaela, I have seen your name quite a lot. Just want to make your acqaintance. This is horrible sound (in my headphones) but lovely music. Sokolov is the last one to fight conformatism. Still I am a conformist, liking bad things like Yuja Wang and so on....at least in her Brahms piano consert nr 2.
Yes, he has gotten it done!... Unfortunatelly bad recorded...Such a great performance had to be recorded very well...Americans would make out of this Recording, an Icon, we'd hear in Commercials etc...Russians don't think that far, allthough they've got better artists... At the end, Mr. Sokolov CAN play Bach...At the toppest Niveau!...A great pianist.
Вальс найден на дне Черного моря. Когда древние укры копали его Шопен проходил мимо и выронил ноты. Ноты упали в сало, забальзамировались, поэтому и сохранились до наших дней.

Sokolov is best known to Prokofiev fans (a fandom made up of about 100 people)
He isn´t underrated at all!
Underrated? By who?
Maybe "little known" because whoever hears him cannot help being amazed.

Thank you
Fuga ❤️
The fourth movement is the best version I have listened
Agreed
Плачу от восторга ! Душа проживает каждую нотку ....
❤

@@palad3030shouldn’t be forgotten Sviatoslav Richter
@@davidschestenger3366agreed
Gould in my opinion
The history of the Universe in 8 minutes 👌
I can sympathize with this. Is there any deeper theory to this as well?
He is wonderful. Has always been.
NOBODY plays this Toccata beetter than Mr. Sokolov, nobody! It brings tears to my eyes.
Glenn Gould played much better - every Bach piece.
@@mikematics LOOOOL
I got to admit, that was a banger.
Please...
@@mikematics I prefer Gould's version as well, but do not underestimate Sokolov :)
Beautiful Bach playing.. artistic and full of emotion.. fugue was amazing
OMG his interpretation of the fugue! he is totally invested
6.40 - от этой части я всегда плачу. Гений Соколов творит чудо, не обращая ни на кого внимания Каждый звук алмаз. Спасибо.
Точнее с 5.33 моя душа волнуется и плачет.
таймкоды лучше ставить так -- 6:40 , 5:33 .Тогда они фурычат. По иному же -- нет.
Finally...!!!The entire video this piece by Sokolov!
Thanks God, (and ADGO)!
it seems also of better quality than the other shorter versions
I still remember his impeccable touch in Bergamo.
Adorable genius.
What a fabulous interpretation of such a great work.
Слушала этого мастера в свои 16...на всю жизнь ощущение волшебства...
Es nota tant la formació en l'orgue...(també)quin goig. Thanks a lot for this audio-video👏👏👏👏
я когда попадаю в ютубе на Соколова, нарочно сопротивляюсь, но в конце концов совершенно офигеваю от его исполнения как правило.
This Toccata is one of Bach's absolute best - and Sokolov gets it right! A moody and contemplative work that must subtly hint at nuances.
Moody - yes! It totally knocked me over first time, I heard Sokolov playing it.
Ce Sokolov est incroyable, cette interprétation est incroyable, merci de partager la version complète!
His interpretation of the 4th movement is one of the single greatest of any piece I’ve ever seen
An extraordinary performance! Such pathos and brilliance.
Thank you, Adgo, for the precious often hidden pearls you offer us all.
Make me feel less desperate of meeting true profound musicians...
One of the most absurdly well well interpreted pieces of work I ever heard
Ohne Worte...
Bravo sokolov! genio
He is exceptionally excellent! Thank yu
Thank you so so much for sharing, Masterpiece transcended by a Master 🙏
I never tire of watching and watching again. This video is simply amazing.
AMAZING, INCREDIBLE...! Thank you veeeeryyy much.
Thank you so much for providing the complete version. The momentum in the fugue and overall command throughout is simply breathtaking.
Based on what I've heard from Sokolov I'd expected a slower, sort of grand fugue at the end, safe to say I was surprised - and blown away - by what he produced
Splendid historic document.
The whole thing, finally! Thanks a million!
Sokolov is a precise machine with the deepest soul...
Потрясает ❤❤❤
Such intensity!
Fabulous performance!
Masterful performance of one of my favorite pieces. You can hear the hammers almost plucking at the strings
Bach is out of this Universe.
The fugue portion is a masterpiece.
Strong stuff! Thank you, ADGO - and Sokolov.
Beautiful playing and great energy. The last movement is played great, with gentle sound, quick and nice staccatos....and a nice brisk tempo!
So so so beautiful. Sokolov touches, no, pierces my heart every single time.
Wow ‼️❤️❤️❤️🔝💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Mesmerizing and moving performance!
Equally excellent with Glenn Gould. Amazingly Superb!
Que sonido tan maravilloso saca este señor del piano!
Wonderful!
Bravo. Few Toccatas can evoke this kind of emotion. Overwhelming at times…
The best!
Great playing, thanks Tony
Thanks a lot!
Exquisite!
4:32 is out of this world
Bach always amazing from Inmortal
He makes clear that undercurrent of pain and longing, you find so often in Bachs music.
Fantastic
Чудо звука!
Grande obra e belíssima interpretação.😍
Гениально!
Excepcional...
Superb as always
Maravilloso, único e inimitable. ¡¡Bravo!!
Loved it, what’s more to say
Bravo! Closest to organs and harpsichord sound I ve heard so far❤️
I cannot think of any Bach composition that does not adapt to both the organ and piano.
Гениально, Браво маэстро!!!
Слушаю и плачу. Отчего, мастер????? Какое-то наслаждение и очищение души.
Same here! It knocked me over the first time - for a week!
Gracias!!
Greatest Bach pianist in history! A tad too early for me here though. But still... jesus christ.
Шедеврально
00:02 1st movement

Wait till you find out about Gould
Nice rendition!!
esecuzione travolgente, grazie Maestro (peccato per il pubblico rumoroso)
The parallels between the second movement and Rachmaninoff's Vocalise are fascinating. I wonder if Rachmaninioff was thinking of this piece when he composed it.
Il più grande

Once upon a time when pianists felt free of taking all necessary time for phrasing, colouring...
Have you seen the video of Anton Batagov playing Bach's Partita 6?
@@ADGO No, will be another of discoveries through your suggestion!
Well you might not like it :) Years ago I loved it. It's a little more distant from me now but I'd love to hear him in recital one day.

Great
❤❤❤❤
Что он гениален это все знают!!! ( недооцененный, плохое слово)
God
Уаууу! Как у Гульда. но лучше...
❤
That's how Bach used to play it.
JUST when he is about to launch the Saturn V in the left hand,the camera moves to the BALCONY!? I hope somebody went to the Gulag for this.
Хочется через Ютуб апплодировать
The last minutes, and the simple theme under and over lot of variations. Damn
the only one who could "discuss" with Gould
What else did he play at this recital?
This, the Beethoven Sonata 4 I've just uploaded, and Chopin's op. 28 (I don't have this).

You can see that the most popular part is the fugue lol
