Grigory Sokolov
Theater und Philharmonie Essen, Alfried Krupp Saal (Essen)
Grigory Sokolov, a truly exceptional pianist of our time, is known for his perfectionism and uncompromising approach. His concerts, performed under dimmed lights with impeccable sound dramaturgy, captivate audiences. Sokolov, an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, shuns media attention and limits his performances. Tickets are highly sought after even before programs are announced, as his repertoire choices are driven solely by his desire to play. His mesmerizing performances showcase a simple setup: one man, one grand piano. With seemingly effortless execution, he plays even the most technically demanding passages with ease. Experiencing Sokolov live is a must.
