I think Julius Katchen's interpretations are even better especially in the opus 118 #2. Sokolov's tempo is a tad slow for my taste.... ruclips.net/video/GZLxOdlW9Vo/видео.html
I believe I've never heard these pieces interpreted so freely yet so unerringly, with such exacting forcefulness, with such abysmal poetry. Sokolov frees the human spirit in them, beyond Brahms, beyond himself. Conquests in the annals of art, beyond belief.
Fantastique !
Unparalleled, revealing voices never heard before in the opus 118.

Eloquently formulated, true every word.
abysmal as in deep or appalling?
@@David-mq5sl No as in bottomless, NOT surfacy, but rather profound, multi-layered, depth of feeling.
Good...
Good?! Wtf.
Revelatory
