He also creates magic in live performance as so many videos attest here ! What a master .Now with Argerich ,Schiff ,Kocsis just died maybe Pires .One of the true greats of the ww2 generation!

Sokolov est vraiment bien pour la musique de Rameau, peut-être fait-il un bon pont du clavecin au piano, il est domage qu'aucun éditeur nous propose l'intégrale. Sokolov is really good for Rameau's music, maybe he makes a good bridge from the harpsichord to the piano, it's a shame that no publisher offers us the complete version.

Just new listening to Sokolov and I never knew I would suddenly fell in love with how impressive he plays, can't wait to listen to other of his existing renditions.
