I know nothing about how well a pianist performs a particular piece. All I know is that how Sokolov does it is my choice for saving a piece to my library. I keep wanting to hear this piece again and again.
that's a good choice Sr. You will discovering step by step that actually Sokolov is one of the best in playing Bach or baroque style. If not straightly is the best
Extremely underrated pianist - one of the greatest alive today, his volume of repertoire is unbelievable and his ability to interpret music is immaculate
I listened to him a few weeks ago in Antwerp. After the concert I couldn't listen anything else for about 2 days, because whenever I tried it felt so bland, so superficial, so much lacking depth. That might be called Sokolov effect, and I witnessed it firsthand.
Based on what I've heard from Sokolov I'd expected a slower, sort of grand fugue at the end, safe to say I was surprised - and blown away - by what he produced
The parallels between the second movement and Rachmaninoff's Vocalise are fascinating. I wonder if Rachmaninioff was thinking of this piece when he composed it.
_The BIG problem with YT is that almost everyday I find a new performer and many times they are better than the last! Mr. Sokolov's Bach is impeccable, perfect in every way! I see that he has the GoldBergs on YT, this way I can place him for sure! 😎
I'm sure your sense of the newest being the best is quite common for many. I posit that it has to do with the human tendency to give added value to new things-thus part of why kids are so happy, as everyday brings something new. Our latest "new" restaurant" will be the best until we tire of it and find something "newer, better." Good comment. Perhaps others will opine.
@@ADGO Listened to Partita' beginning and shortly to other performances on RUclips. Sincerely, Adgo, felt a strange sensation of Nothing, of void, inconsistent (please, do forgive my basic English). On the other day, Yudina's tempi were fully lived, or, if I listen to anything from let's say Pletnev, even the most elongated tempo sounds true, inspired...lived, just created freely at exactly the right moment!
Hey, Micaela, I have seen your name quite a lot. Just want to make your acqaintance. This is horrible sound (in my headphones) but lovely music. Sokolov is the last one to fight conformatism. Still I am a conformist, liking bad things like Yuja Wang and so on....at least in her Brahms piano consert nr 2.
Вальс найден на дне Черного моря. Когда древние укры копали его Шопен проходил мимо и выронил ноты. Ноты упали в сало, забальзамировались, поэтому и сохранились до наших дней.
Too sweat, sorry. And what's that pedal doing there, in the fast part (in the Toccata proper)? Bottomline: each pianist should stick to the pieces and composers they are good at.

The fourth movement is the best version I have listened
Agreed

Gould in my opinion
Extremely underrated pianist - one of the greatest alive today, his volume of repertoire is unbelievable and his ability to interpret music is immaculate
Sokolov is best known to Prokofiev fans (a fandom made up of about 100 people)
He isn´t underrated at all!
Underrated? By who?
Maybe "little known" because whoever hears him cannot help being amazed.

The history of the Universe in 8 minutes 👌
I can sympathize with this. Is there any deeper theory to this as well?
NOBODY plays this Toccata beetter than Mr. Sokolov, nobody! It brings tears to my eyes.
Glenn Gould played much better - every Bach piece.
@@mikematics LOOOOL
I got to admit, that was a banger.
Please...
@@mikematics I prefer Gould's version as well, but do not underestimate Sokolov :)
Beautiful Bach playing.. artistic and full of emotion.. fugue was amazing
Finally...!!!The entire video this piece by Sokolov!
Thanks God, (and ADGO)!
it seems also of better quality than the other shorter versions
6.40 - от этой части я всегда плачу. Гений Соколов творит чудо, не обращая ни на кого внимания Каждый звук алмаз. Спасибо.
Точнее с 5.33 моя душа волнуется и плачет.
таймкоды лучше ставить так -- 6:40 , 5:33 .Тогда они фурычат. По иному же -- нет.
OMG his interpretation of the fugue! he is totally invested
He is wonderful. Has always been.
Слушала этого мастера в свои 16...на всю жизнь ощущение волшебства...
Es nota tant la formació en l'orgue...(també)quin goig. Thanks a lot for this audio-video👏👏👏👏
я когда попадаю в ютубе на Соколова, нарочно сопротивляюсь, но в конце концов совершенно офигеваю от его исполнения как правило.
I still remember his impeccable touch in Bergamo.
Adorable genius.
This Toccata is one of Bach's absolute best - and Sokolov gets it right! A moody and contemplative work that must subtly hint at nuances.
Moody - yes! It totally knocked me over first time, I heard Sokolov playing it.
Ce Sokolov est incroyable, cette interprétation est incroyable, merci de partager la version complète!
What a fabulous interpretation of such a great work.
His interpretation of the 4th movement is one of the single greatest of any piece I’ve ever seen
Bach’s works are so sublimely, philosophically sound profound. PWG
Thank you, Adgo, for the precious often hidden pearls you offer us all.
Make me feel less desperate of meeting true profound musicians...
An extraordinary performance! Such pathos and brilliance.
Thank you so much for providing the complete version. The momentum in the fugue and overall command throughout is simply breathtaking.
Based on what I've heard from Sokolov I'd expected a slower, sort of grand fugue at the end, safe to say I was surprised - and blown away - by what he produced
AMAZING, INCREDIBLE...! Thank you veeeeryyy much.
Ohne Worte...
Masterful performance of one of my favorite pieces. You can hear the hammers almost plucking at the strings
Bach is out of this Universe.
Thank you so so much for sharing, Masterpiece transcended by a Master 🙏
Beautiful playing and great energy. The last movement is played great, with gentle sound, quick and nice staccatos....and a nice brisk tempo!
He is exceptionally excellent! Thank yu
One of the most absurdly well well interpreted pieces of work I ever heard
The whole thing, finally! Thanks a million!
Such intensity!
Fabulous performance!
I never tire of watching and watching again. This video is simply amazing.
The fugue portion is a masterpiece.
He makes clear that undercurrent of pain and longing, you find so often in Bachs music.
Splendid historic document.
Strong stuff! Thank you, ADGO - and Sokolov.
Sokolov is a precise machine with the deepest soul...
Чудо звука!
Great playing, thanks Tony
Que sonido tan maravilloso saca este señor del piano!
Bravo sokolov! genio
Equally excellent with Glenn Gould. Amazingly Superb!
So so so beautiful. Sokolov touches, no, pierces my heart every single time.
Thanks a lot!
Bravo. Few Toccatas can evoke this kind of emotion. Overwhelming at times…
00:02 1st movement
00:39 Un poco allegro
02:35 2nd movement (Adagio)
05:35 3rd movement (Fuga)
Mesmerizing and moving performance!
Потрясает ❤❤❤
Гениально!
Bach always amazing from Inmortal
Wonderful!
Grande obra e belíssima interpretação.😍
Exquisite!
Loved it, what’s more to say
Maravilloso, único e inimitable. ¡¡Bravo!!
4:32 is out of this world
Слушаю и плачу. Отчего, мастер????? Какое-то наслаждение и очищение души.
Same here! It knocked me over the first time - for a week!
Superb as always
Гениально, Браво маэстро!!!
Bravo! Closest to organs and harpsichord sound I ve heard so far❤️
I cannot think of any Bach composition that does not adapt to both the organ and piano.
Wow ‼️❤️❤️❤️🔝💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Excepcional...
Fantastic
È talmente bello che mi fa piangere.
The best!
esecuzione travolgente, grazie Maestro (peccato per il pubblico rumoroso)
Greatest Bach pianist in history! A tad too early for me here though. But still... jesus christ.
Шедеврально
Gracias!!
Nice rendition!!
The parallels between the second movement and Rachmaninoff's Vocalise are fascinating. I wonder if Rachmaninioff was thinking of this piece when he composed it.

Once upon a time when pianists felt free of taking all necessary time for phrasing, colouring...
Have you seen the video of Anton Batagov playing Bach's Partita 6?
@@ADGO No, will be another of discoveries through your suggestion!
Well you might not like it :) Years ago I loved it. It's a little more distant from me now but I'd love to hear him in recital one day.

Уаууу! Как у Гульда. но лучше...
That's how Bach used to play it.
Что он гениален это все знают!!! ( недооцененный, плохое слово)
❤❤❤❤
God
Хочется через Ютуб апплодировать
JUST when he is about to launch the Saturn V in the left hand,the camera moves to the BALCONY!? I hope somebody went to the Gulag for this.
the only one who could "discuss" with Gould

The MESSENGER was very young when composed THIS....Can we understand??
The last minutes, and the simple theme under and over lot of variations. Damn
What else did he play at this recital?
This, the Beethoven Sonata 4 I've just uploaded, and Chopin's op. 28 (I don't have this).
