Grigory Sokolov’s annual spring tours have become pilgrimages for his devoted followers and have become the stuff of legend. In 2022/2023, he dedicated 70 recitals to Purcell and Mozart, revealing their shared streaks of charm and melancholy. The world-renowned pianist performed an uninterrupted selection of keyboard works by Purcell, together with Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 13 in B flat major and Adagio in B minor. His live programme ends with a generous set of encores by J.S. Bach, Chopin and Rameau.
