the prologue of the first movement is sooo dramatic. I bet Schumann was on the edge when he composed this... the whole sonata,as well as Sokolov´s interpretation, is simply fantastic!!!
A very clean, well recorded exposition of the work; nice phrasing, a little slow, but OK. Then, I listened to Gilels 1959 London recording of the sonata. And I discovered that this music has something else, on top of the intelligent work that Sokolov has put in all the little parts of it. it's called soul! I find very little in this rendition.
This must be another of Sokolov´s benchmark interpretations. It captures the manic side of Schumann´s genius perfectly and makes the neglect of this sonata difficult to understand.
Gilels, Gilels, Gilels, In a completely different class. Sokolov's playing is too clever and intricate, neither romantic nor spontaneous. There have been many greater Russian pianists, he just happens to be maybe the best of the current crop, by their previously exalted standards.
I'm sorry, he bangs a lot and his playing is too " clever" and "intricate". Given all the very much greater pianists that have gone before him, your comment makes no sense.
je compare les recitals de sokolov avec des cathedrales. grandios. seulment un don de Dieu peut donner un tel resultat. Il y a la technique du piano et la technique de la composition mais cela n explique pas le miracle et la grandeur de cette interpretation.... C est un don que peu des pianistes ont recu. C est un des rares pianistes qui ouvrent leur coeur et leur innocence ouvre une breche dans le ciel et nous laisse entrevoir le paradis
@arabella1827 I checked and it seems to me that this is really from Paris. The Amsterdam concert in febraury has the same program of the Vicenza concert in January. In the second part of the year, as usually he do, sokolov changed some pieces, some chopin, with the Schumann sonata. This Paris concert in fact is from November.
This is actually mislabeled. This is from Amsterdam Feb 27. 2005. This is probably the most mislabeled bootleg out there. For some reason, every download I see of this says Paris 2005. Incorrect.
Really disappointing. I totally miss the Schumann soul in this version. Just listen to Gilels, Perahia, (even) Sofronitsky, and above all: Catherine Collard...

By far the most beautiful rendition of this sonata.

this is the best piano playing i ever heard and one of schumann greatest work
Gilels, Gilels, Gilels, In a completely different class.

Sokolov is the greatest of the great recorded pianists.

Haters gonna hate
@@jeremyd1021 gilels is great, love his archeduc trio
De toute beauté, vraiment. Merci.
great Sokolov!!
Carajo, cómo me hace feliz esta versión.
Wow -- what an amazing work, overall, and what a wild "manic" episode at 28:15 ff !!
❤❤❤
Again a very convincing and believable interpretation....I might not agree with everything Sokolov does but it's compelling to say the least ....
you are so right!!!
That opening theme...
There is something utterly disturbing in it.
GREAT!

Toujours s'encombrer avec ce soit disant Dieu...
Preciosa.
it seams to me that everything sokolov plays is a benckmark interperatation! :)
Amen
이 곡의 진짜 느낌 같네요!!

@arabella1827 Oh! After a check i will correct the infos. Thank you! ;-)

it makes no difference :) grisha is master, wherever he plays ...
I like everything of this interpretation but the last chord which i'd have preferred less rushed
Combien d années de travail...?
Cell phone at 13:22 ?
27:10 - 27:50 : la luz, el temblor.
Mit Gilels unvergleichbar...

Do you know Schumann ?
Lazar Berman is for me the top!!!!!!!
Sokolov semble avoir trouvé le son Schumanien au cours du dernier mouvement... peut-être gêné par l’acoustique ? La coda est fantastique !
