Bro decided after an entire concerto and an encore to come back and drop the greatest ever recording of the Ocean Étude.

I had the privilege to watch this master at work, on the stage. I took a photo with him and everything, focused on stage but the nicest person on earth backstage. Such an experience

In my opinion Sokolov is the best pianist in the world I'm so glad he's still performing in 2022 and it's such an inspiration to listen to how he brings out the beauty of the piano like no other!

37 💀🤯🤯? He pretty much looks the same now

This performance is god like. He owns this piece

Every time I listen to Sokolov play this great Brahms creation, I am feeling and sensing Ludvig Van Beethoven playing it himself. Astounding! IS sokolov channeling Beethoven, or is Beethovens spirit right next to Sokolov and inspiring Sokolov with his ( Beethovens ) divine musical mind ? Sokolov is a musical PHENOMENON. Artists of his caliber come into physical manifestation only every 130 -200 years and leave humanity a legacy that ennobles ALL humans tenfold.

Wenn man nur nach dieser unglaublich perfekten Brahms-Aufführung geht, ist Sokolow schon der bei weitem beste Pianist der heutigen Zeit! Es ist nicht zu glauben, wie wunderbar dieser Mann spielt - ein echtes Geschenk Gottes!

Enorme Sokolov! Tan apasionado es el primer allegro como el segundo! Destaca su fuerza expresiva, su lirismo inigualable... Pero, además, y esto es muy difícil, orquesta y director están a su altura! En resumen, sin duda, una de las mejores interpretaciones de este concierto sin par

Few pianists REALLY do the right hand solo thirds from the last movement convincingly. MAH, Zimmerman, Pollini arguably, and that's probably it, with Hamelin with the cleanest runs, as far as I can tell. But with Sokolov we get all the thirds with art. Nothing mechanical.

I had enjoyed wonderful versions of this Concerto, but really think the Sokolov’s one is unbeatable!…

Pocos son capaces de tanto fuego y tanta dulzura en una interpretacion. Maravilloso Sokolov.

In 1977 I started attending the University of Alberta in Edmonton. That fall I attended the first of many performances of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. The first performance featured Misha Dichter playing this concerto. The performance in this video is absolutely splendid and brings back many good memories.

Dommage que quelques minimes accrocs se soient glissés dans ce remarquable enregistrement, qui nous permet de voir la maturité qu'avait déjà "notre" Sokolov de l'époque, qui nous montre combien il a encore muri dans ces dernières années ! A ne surtout pas manquer s'il passe dans nos régions...

Mr Sokolov is a marvellous pianist. Perhaps it’s my hearing, but the large orchestral forces sometimes obscure the piano’s sound. I prefer the Brahms concertos with a smaller orchestra and more transparency. Just a thought. And probably my ears.
