I don't know how to explain this, but this interpretation feels to me like the sound of the first fresh rain of the season. Something about the way he plays it makes it feel that way.
That's classical music, it reflects on nature, this is a thing that isn't being recognized enough, but we can all agree that it can give a specific feeling of nature and weather
Dear Lord, please do not let me leave this earth without seeing and hearing Grigory Sokolov play in person.

Just come to Europe. His tours have given dates, and almost never change. For example - he always performs around 5th of May in Amsterdam. Every year the same.
1:45 - he is not only producing sounds via the keys but also with his hands. I don't know whether he clapped intentionally but it sounds incredibly like pizzicato.
Masquer l'art par l'art lui même, la légèreté et la gentillesse de cette pièce n'égalent que sa difficulté. Merci M. Sokolov de faire vivre et vibrer l'art des vieux maîtres français
Just a pure beauty - virtuosity , melody , technique. Watch for the first time in October 2019 and became hooked to that masterpiece. Watch it probably 100 times, then stopped. Reason -don’t want to get used to it. When in bad mood, or in need for brightening the day just pops in my mind unconsciously
Vielleicht ist er der beste lebende Pianist. Dieses Stück ist noch viel schwieriger als es klingt. Meisterhaft wie er die einzelnen Töne der Melodie akzentuiert, auch durch das Predal. Die Begleitung verteilt sich ja auf beide Hände und hier nur einzelne Töne der rechten Hand als Melodie zu spielen, das muss man erst mal so Souverän schaffen. Sein Lehrer war übrigens Emil Gilels.
Strictly speaking it is impossible to play this piece on the piano like that. How does he manage that? He he the most perfect pianist of our time. Just let‘s be thankful.
Is Sokolov the best, or what? Can't some impresario find a way to convince this humble genius to come to the U.S.? I would camp out in the snow for days to get a ticket.

It is said that Sokolov hates all those "paper-works", visa procedures etc. So, he avoids travelling to USA.
Lots of hassle for the visa with impolite bureaucrats, lots of immigration cops stupid questions, your luggages are opened and often stolen by some cop so a lot of people prefer now to stay in Europe or travel to Asia. And St Petersburg is so beautiful...Come in Europe.
@@yosserc Yes items of my luggages stolen at the Miami airport without any effraction ie by someone having the good keys. That was made probably during the revision by the cops of the customs, the lone guys to have the pass keys for opening the luggages. Several persons, including me, arriving for a naval engineers and architects congress at Miami from all Europe, several USA towns and Canada by different flights discovered that their luggages were "revised" without effraction and that items were stolen surely in the Miami airport.
Sabía que estaban muy juntas ambas manos por la partitura, pero vaya que esto es otro nivel xd, espero poder llegar a tocar aunque sea un poco así algún día.
Remarkable, life-affirming performance. Never tire of listening and watching this astonishing rendition of Tic-Tok-Choc. Particularly the section around 1.38 to 1.42
Как завораживает!Скажите,профессионалы,а это трудно исполнить?Просто крестник мой,будет играть на конкурсе Щелкунчик, 2023 год,"Молоточки"Куперена.Что то,я переживаю🙄Это,надо сыграть или очень хорошо или никак не играть.Уровень Григория Соколова,заоблачный конечно🤦♀️Браво!👏👏👏
Piano Playa, I totally agree. Grades do not matter at all. You should only play what you feel like you want to play. You should not play a piece only because you are forced to do it.
Ничего, что я к вам спиной сижу? - спросил таксист у пассажиров... Мне, далёкому человеку от ПОДОБНОГО, объясните пожалуйста: а вот сам Куперен (или Рамо) мог исполнять свои, произведения? Он что, только для трёх пианистов во всей Вселенной это написал, а?
... я споткнулся случайно, благодаря роману "Благоволительницы", о "les trois mains" - это стало моим безумием. Тут и трёх рук мало! Волшебство, других слов у меня нет...
There are no recordings of Couperin playing himself, so we will never know. During that time the Composer and the Musicians played only live-concerts where they had to entertain the people. So the did not play the same piece in the same way. Bach and Händel, for example, played rather jam-session than "classical" concerts.
Luckily it isn’t cause no one is actually stupid enough to literally legislate for art apart from a minority of irrelevant nerds toiling under the delusion music is a museum exhibit.
