This has to be the best quality recording of Sokolov performing this masterpiece I've ever heard... literally on par with if not better than some of his official releases. I so hope he programmes Bach again soon. Thank you Anson!
Very original and radical interpretation. Less monumentality than Gould, but elegance and magnificence. Clarity, perfection of embellishments, beauty of touch…the level of Sokolov’s playing is incredible, not only in Bach
Загадка Соколова- это его туше, которое приближает звук рояля к клавесину, оставляя первенство роялю. Его стиль безупречен. Мастер звуковой палитры! Слушаешь и его Бах всегда очаровывает своим тонким вкусом! Не слов для восхищения. Гениально!❤🙏👌
ARGGG!!! I had such hopes of adding Sokolov to my very short list of pianists who understand how to play Bach’s keyboard music, as I listened to the Toccata, Allemande, and Corrente, which are glorious, but the volte face I experienced in subsequent movements was extreme! I was mildly annoyed with the use of staccato in the left hand on the Air, but his totally Romantic take on the Sarabande, complete with the tonal muddying achieved by the use of the darned sustain pedal-anethema!-is bad enough, but his interpretation of rhythm and tempo was much too free for my taste. Why does he use that pedal when he has the technique to play it without it?!? As for Sokolov’s Tempo di Gavotta, at times the words of my venerable organ teacher came back to me (“This is BACH for goodness’ sake, not ‘Get along old Paint!!’) bc he fell into the trap of the “tummty-tummty-tump” rhythm, for some reason, so unfortunate! I stopped listening there, but will come back to this at some point.
This is not written for an organ. It wasn’t his favourite instrument. He started off as organ player. Besides you can not compare an organ teacher to maestro Sokolov. Bach loved the Cristofori pianoforte and his favorite instruments was Lutewerk harpsichord and the more intimate clavichord. What Sokolov does here with the staccato is to articulate it in a historic manner. Get your historics right.

The sarabande is so profound... Sokolov gives all the ornaments meaning!
Listening for the umpteenth time….. makes everything almost right with my life when all seems lost…… deep appreciation for this. Miss Jenny.
Should have said, in the depth of my despair, Sokolov’s playing of this masterpiece privides courage to sally forth…… again, merci.
14:10 His touch is like Air!✨
Потрясающий пианист!Музыкант!Его палитра настолько уникальна,что каждый раз это открытие...!

Thank you Anson!
Very nice!!
Volume??
Боже, это чириканье- великий Бах?!
His trills were as precise as laser
Very original and radical interpretation. Less monumentality than Gould, but elegance and magnificence. Clarity, perfection of embellishments, beauty of touch…the level of Sokolov’s playing is incredible, not only in Bach
And also more “human” and down-to-earth than Gould!
@@youyipiano9223 I agree
I find Gould is less rushed. I can hear the notes and melody.
As monumental as Gould, each one with proper view
Sokolv on Rameau Is Crazy
Many thanks dear Anson Yeung for this magical recording
This is one of those performances that is simply cosmic in scope.
I was there

Although Sokolov is one of the greatest this recording is too fast in my humble opinion
How can he be so elegant in Rameau and so mechanical in Bach? The toccata is awful…
Han är bäst❤
Molto, molto bello.
Pessima interpretazione: una delle composizioni più profonde e belle della musica occidentale ridotta a musichetta da Café chantant
Thank you, Anson Yeung. Interesting, and I wish I could like Sokolov’s Bach interpretations. I do try to feel the merits, but am falling far short!
You may want to listen to his Bach Preludes & Fugues, Goldberg Variations and Italian Concerto

Вы правы: слышишь первое касание клавиш и оторваться невозможно!
Outstanding, Maestro Anson......BRAVO from Acapulco!

No problem using sustain pedal. Bach certainly would have been a master of it had he had access to such an instrument. It’s not a test. It’s music.
Григорий Соколов -это родник с чистой водой. ЧУДО!!! ИСТИНА!!!
При всем уважении, мелко. Отбарабанил.
