The unique and unrepeatable nature of live music is central to understanding the expressive beauty and irresistible honesty of Grigory Sokolov’s art. The interpretations of the great Russian pianist, which come to life during the performance with a mystical intensity, spring from a deep knowledge of the works that make up his vast repertoire. Following the success of last November, Sokolov returns to the Lingotto Auditorium with a highly anticipated new recital that pairs Chopin’s Mazurkas Op. 30 and Op. 50 with the magical sylvan world of Schumann’s Waldszenen, alongside some gems of early keyboard music by William Byrd, the greatest English composer of the Elizabethan period.
