Presto Recording of the Week8th May 2020
8th May 2020
The early Beethoven sonata on offer here (Op. 2/3) possesses true grace and elegance, with the slow movement engendering the tenderest of timbres from Sokolov. His way of shaping a phrase is remarkable, not least in the eighth of the Bagatelles, Op. 119, which, with a free tempo and liberal use of rubato, takes on a pleasingly rhapsodic quality...It's not all refined sensitivity, though: Sokolov produces such a monumentally enormous weight to the Rhapsody, Op. 119/4 that I'm surprised the instrument survived the onslaught!
