Incredible attention to detail! For example, the section starting at 27:23 - where many rush and play everything monotone. Sokolov shows us the two characters in the melody - the determined quarter notes and the more complaintive legato passages. And in the accompaniment, complete freedom, not beating us over the head with the repeated chords, but varying the sound and bringing out the changing harmonies when needed. Also, he actually executes all the dynamics marked by Schubert - which don't look like much on the page, but make a world of a difference when done properly. Surely, one of the deepest understandings of this work.
