  A dim light picks out the outlines of the hall. Suddenly a massive shadow appears who moves swiftly over to the keyboard the only brightly lit surface to stand out from the large coffin-like box in the centre of the stage. There follows the vaguest of unsmiling acknowledgements in the general direction of the audience and then the music begins. Throughout the next two hours this music will keep its listeners enthralled with its extraordinary intensity as the audience senses the formidable physical pianistic musical and emotional presence of this most private of present-day pianists Grigory Sokolov.Track Listing:Ludwig van Beethoven - Sonata in E Major Op. 14 No. 1 Sonata in G Major Op. 14 No. 2 Sonata in D Major Op. 28 'Pastoral'.Komitas - Six dances for PianoSergei Prokofiev - Sonata in B flat Major Op.83Frederic Chopin - in C sharp Minor Op. 63 No. 3 in F Minor Op. 68 No. 4Francois Couperin - or Les MaillotinsJohann Sebastian Bach - Prelude in B minor (after BWV 855a)
