This is now approaching one million views and rightfully so, but it’s probably due to the fact that a much smaller number of listeners are, like myself, addicted to this performance and thus listen to it over and over again.

I have just gotten into listening a lot of piano music and this is a stunning level of skill. It is not that he is the fastest or didn't miss notes. His pace feels most natural. Some other pianists play this too fast and it has this uneasy, anxious feel to it. This feels so natural and smooth.

The video recording is directed by Bruno Monsaingeon, a giant figure in music films for producing documentaries/performances by Gould, Richter, Fischer-Dieskau and so on. For now he is virtually the only person allowed to work with Sokolov for video recording (which is amazing given that Sokolov is well known for his hatred towards any form of recording). Well, he does like dramatizing the performer's interpretation, but on proper context. If you check out Sokolov's Prokofiev 7th 3rd movement, again directed by Monsaingeon, the camera stays frozen throughout the music. He once said in an interview that he decided this was the most effective way to convey the tension.

Sokolov is like a fine wine. He gets better the more you hear him. I heard him play this in London but it washed over me. Now I appreciate it so much more. I believe Maestro to be a influenced by the great Marcelle Meyer, a peerless exponent of this music.
