Fifty-five years after being awarded the 1st Prize in the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow at the age of 16, the musical world continues to be dazzled and amazed by Grigory Sokolov’s artistry, considered by many to be the greatest living pianist. Over the last decade, his recitals and his annual presence at Gulbenkian Music have granted us the special privilege of experiencing the superior interpretive qualities of a pianist who believes that “the stage is the focus of musical life”.
