Grigory Sokolov

The talent of Grigory Sokolov, always evident, was for a long time a well-kept secret: heard in Russia, but almost unknown in the West, only from the 1980s onwards did his fame begin to cross borders, establishing his name among the greatest piano geniuses of our time. Little interested in cultivating constant media presence and public exposure, Sokolov dedicates himself almost exclusively to a new programme each season.
