Closing of the 9th Winter Festival

The 75-year-old Russian pianist Grigory Sokolov occupies one of the highest places in the pantheon of piano masters, with several critics proclaiming him the world’s greatest living pianist.

His performances are renowned for their rich tonal palette, astonishing polyphonic clarity and mysterious intensity, revealing to listeners the deeper dimensions of piano music. Sokolov is also known for the very high demands he makes of his instrument, spending long hours with piano technicians exploring the characteristics of the concert piano he is to play and adapting it to his own strict standards.
