I can't find any words to describe why Sokolovs highly sensitive and intelligent storytelling hits me so much over and over again. Thank you posting this, I never heard it of Sokolov before.

Yo descubrí a Sokolov hace 18 años viendo un vídeo del Concierto N. 3 de Rachmaninov tocado por él y supe en aquél momento que estaba ante quizás el más grande pianista del momento. Mi profesora fue alumna suya en un máster en Moscú. Siempre comentaba de que en su caso, la música sobrepasaba al simple arte para convertirse en una religión.
The recording is execrable, the performances exceptional. Sokolov makes music of these fiendishly difficult studies, which few even attempt to do. The (in)famous no. 12, for example, is properly 'patetico', as marked. At the same time, his pianism per se is, as ever, astonishing (the occasional mishit notwithstanding; it is a concert performance). Fabulous. Thanks for posting.
These Etudes are n apex among the first period of Scriabin. They are unique by the double fact that the influence of Chopin is both immense and transcended by a nascent but very strong musical personality, which gives them their uniques bland. Scriabin has always nurtured high virtuosity, but he controlled it by nesting it into a firm structure. Solokov is absolutely awesome in that literature.
He plays them almost like he wrote them. His No. 7 and his No. 11 are superlative, and his No. 12 is absolutely sublime, bettered only by Horowitz for passion. You can hear him get carried away a little bit, he hits one or two too many low D#'s in the run up to the climax. I don't think there's a better recording of these 12 pieces together out there.
Sokolov's interpretation of these Etudes is incomparable. Although he doesn't always play exactly what is written (c.f. the octaves at 4:10, the return of the first subject of No.7 being ff rather than pp at 13:07), his interpretation actually improves the pieces, in my opinion. A massive technique certainly helps as well. No.9 is my favourite etude, but the others are also extraordinary.
Finché vive c'è solo lui. L'ho ascoltato al San Carlo col mio amico Andrei, era da un secolo che quel teatro non accoglieva tale artista. E Scriabin... non dovremmo affrettarci troppo a bandire i russi, che ne è della nostra cultura senza la Russia?
elwisw It is indeed a great integral, maybe one of the greatest but I think the greatest is the one made by Garrick Ohlsson : the playing is beautiful, clear, precise and lyrical and the recording quality is perfect. However, I think Sokolov has the best version of no 11, he is such a great pianist !
I still find Sofronitsky more extreme phrasing in these etudes are more enjoyable . But , the etudes 10 and 12 Sokolov really hit the nail in the head .

I’ve been learning no. 2. I’ve been learning new things about it almost every day. It’s almost polished. I have to put the pieces together.

29:40 - 29:45 listen to how he gracefully ends the phrase. Sokolov's chops are second to none but he is a poet.

I discovered Scriabin thanks to Sokolov
I discovered you thanks to sokolov.

nothing wrong with the recording, the piano is 'execrable'.

I find Sokolov strikes a beautiful balance between Scriabin's fire and Horowitz's delicacy with Op 8 No 12.
He plays them almost like he wrote them. His No. 7 and his No. 11 are superlative, and his No. 12 is absolutely sublime, bettered only by Horowitz for passion. You can hear him get carried away a little bit, he hits one or two too many low D#'s in the run up to the climax. I don't think there's a better recording of these 12 pieces together out there.
Hard to admit, but this n.12 is better than any Horowitz I have ever listened. Absolutely stunning.
listen to Alexei Sultanov’s No. 12 it’s also very good
Excellent performance!
amazing performance

At last a superb performance of these neglected masterpieces.
Fantastic!
Wow. Probably the best I've ever heard the B minor etude
the king
Wow....
No 7!!!!! Shiiiettt. That's what I'm talking about.
perfect!
Finché vive c'è solo lui. L'ho ascoltato al San Carlo col mio amico Andrei, era da un secolo che quel teatro non accoglieva tale artista. E Scriabin...
non dovremmo affrettarci troppo a bandire i russi, che ne è della nostra cultura senza la Russia?
I thinks this is the best ever integral of the studies, better than Sofronitsky`s
elwisw It is indeed a great integral, maybe one of the greatest but I think the greatest is the one made by Garrick Ohlsson : the playing is beautiful, clear, precise and lyrical and the recording quality is perfect. However, I think Sokolov has the best version of no 11, he is such a great pianist !
Awesome interpretations!
Che bravo...
The people coughing behind... can't they just hold it for a short period of 30 minutes????
many thanks :)
Here's the best interpretation of Etude No.9, in some way even better, than Sofronitsky'
Is there anywhere where I could find a CD, hopefully with better audio quality, recording of this ? Can't find it :(
Straight to the point! Pure meaning!
grigory
I still find Sofronitsky more extreme phrasing in these etudes are more enjoyable . But , the etudes 10 and 12 Sokolov really hit the nail in the head .
#10 is absolutely amazing! I haven't heard anyone play that etude better than Sokolov.
I don't know why but this reminds my of Sweden
nice river
What is the date of the recording?
hi I was chadmaster now am chad414
Hello does anyone know the year of recording?
1974 in Moscow seems most likely based on internet research
@lenechka836 Sorry, i don't. I think the 70s
2,5,11
The sound is so bad...
I can’t listen more ...but Sokolov is however a genius of the piano 👍
extraordinary! but is it grigory or ivan sokolov?
Tonino Sokolov
Richter is the best.
