Over the last consecutive twelve years, audiences at the Gulbenkian Música have had the privilege to hear Grigory Sokolov perform his magic live. This Russian doyen of pianists is undoubtedly one of the greatest artistic talents of our times, with each return to the Grand Auditorium awaited with the natural expectation that precedes a major event. In each recital, time stops, creating a deeply intimate space, a stunning and introspective moment inundated by immense beauty that reveals the very ephemerality of life. To be heard and stored away in the memory.
