Grigory Sokolov / Piano Recital

Date & Time
Mon, Jun 10, 2024, 19:30
With the stage lights dimmed, pianist Grigory Sokolov manages at every appearance at the Laeiszhalle to fascinate the audience with his unpretentious virtuosity. He never fails to show his unerring sense for the quiet and tender notes in the music. It doesn’t matter so much which works he chooses to play: another Solokov tradition is that the programme is just as unknown at the time of writing as the number of encores he will give.

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)

He was originally set to perform on 27 October, but the concert has been postponed by two weeks, to this evening.The annual concerts with pianist Grigory Sokolov celebrate their 20th anniversary this year! With few exceptions, since 2004, he has graced the main stage at Konserthuset with a concert every autumn. And he always surprises the audience with his extraordinary technical brilliance and exceptional ability to elevate the music to unprecedented heights.The latest Sokolov concert revolved around two giants of classical music: Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Afterwards, he treated the ecstatic audience to six (!) encores – several pieces by Chopin and Jean-Philippe Rameau, as well as virtuosic music by Rachmaninov and Scriabin.He often finalises his repertoire late, and at last we know what he will play at this year’s concert: music by the English composer William Byrd (a contemporary of Shakespeare), as well as works by Chopin and Schumann. We can be sure that he will once again astonish us all with his rare gift for uncovering new secrets within the music.

Piano Recital

Sun, Dec 1, 2024, 19:00
Filharmonia Narodowa, Concert Hall (Warszawa)
Grigory Sokolov (Piano)
Grigory Sokolov, photo: Mary Slepkova / DG Grigory Sokolov has worked hard to secure privileges that few contemporary musicians can boast. He gives practically no interviews, rarely visits the recording studio, has performed solo for a number of years and compiles his own recital programmes, without particularly hurrying to announce them. He first sat at a piano at the age of five, almost 70 years ago. Ever since he has been reluctant to part with his beloved instrument, especially during his lengthy performances, giving endless encores (at times as long as a separate recital). Paradoxically, he is a rare example of an artist who communicates with the outside world almost exclusively through his performances, which force reviewers into extraordinary, at times quite humorous, verbal gymnastics in search of the right concepts to describe the artistry of his playing and the aura he creates around him. A voluminous anthology of surprising metaphors might be compiled from the texts on Sokolov’s playing, which may suggest that it is impossible to capture the personality of this remarkable pianist, let alone his interpretations, in words.

Lang Lang / Piano Recital

Wed, Mar 6, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Lang Lang (Piano)
An interviewer recently asked Lang Lang what his thoughts were about the word genius. The pianist answered that he thought nothing of it, adding that he was happy first and foremost to be a musician and to perform masterpieces from past and present for concert audiences. Lang Lang’s greatest aim in any concert, he went on, was to make a connection with the audience through music – to elicit emotions and to give something that people would remember. It’s nearly three years since Lang Lang gave his last solo recital in Hamburg. With a well-balanced programme of Gabriel Fauré, Robert Schumann and Frédéric Chopin, he will once again do the honours in the Grand Hall of the Elbphilharmonie.

Bruce Liu / Piano Recital

Wed, Mar 13, 2024, 19:30
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Bruce Liu (Piano)
Every season, the »Master Pianists« concert series presents a promising young talent who has the potential to become a star. The choice was not difficult this time round: since his explosive success at the 2021 Chopin Competition in Warsaw, 25-year-old Bruce Liu has been literally swamped with concert offers. An exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon in spring 2022 was followed in the summer by an unprecedented triumphal procession from one European festival to the next. Liu’s recital programmes last year always included compositions by Rameau, Ravel, Liszt and Chopin – music that Bruce Liu connects with his native Paris, and that will also be on his first album. »Music has a power that helps me put my emotional house in order« – this is how the Canadian pianist with Chinese roots describes the importance of piano playing in his life.
