Grigory Sokolov: Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart CD

Grigory Sokolov presents live recordings of Beethoven, Brahms and Mozart from his acclaimed 2019/20 season tour. Among them are early (No. 3) and late (Nos. 27 & 32) piano sonatas by Beethoven and Brahms’ intoxicating Op. 118 & 119. “They document his stupendous pianistic level.
