GRIGORY SOKOLOV AT ESTERHÁZY PALACE

A performance from another of today’s finest pianists, Grigory Sokolov, at a venue steeped in history, the Haydnsaal of Esterházy Palace, Eisenstadt, where Joseph Haydn lived and worked for some three decades. Sokolov, “the best the classical world has to offer” (Der Spiegel), plays three Haydn sonatas, the Schubert Impromptus D 935, and a generous selection of encores, all in the spectacular hall in which Haydn himself would have performed countless times. Recorded in August 2018, this exceptional recital is now available on vinyl.
