Performer: Grigory Sokolov

Purcell, Mozart... then a half hour of encores. Grigory Sokolov holds the Concertgebouw spellbound. 

Colours poured in through a metaphorical stained glass window in Verbier's church.

Musical pilgrims gathered in Verbier's church to listen to the cult Russian pianist in a programme of Schumann and Chopin. 

Grigory Sokolov’s annual visit to the Konzerthaus – always in December, always half-lit, always a lengthy affair – is an object of cultish appreciation for the Viennese, who are drawn to mystique like moths to a flame.

Grigory Sokolov bringt – erfolgreich – Werke des englischen Renaissance-Komponisten William Byrd in die Gegenwart.

Si le pianiste a l’art de concocter des programmes originaux, il se montre aussi curieusement imprévisible, capable de sublimes fulgurances comme d’inexplicables lourdeurs.

Barcelona’s dazzling modernista concert venue sees guest soloists and orchestras from across the world appear in this year’s season, with highlights almost too many to mention.

The 2023–24 season at Lugano’s LAC boasts a wide range of orchestral and chamber offerings, including visits from Martha Argerich, Ton Koopman, Riccardo Chailly and Grigory Sokolov.

Argerich, Sokolov, Capuçon, the Gewandhaus and Nelsons, the Filarmonica della Scala and Chailly, the CBSO and Gražinytė-Tyla: there's plenty to tempt you to Lugano.
