Grigory Sokolov - Grigory Sokolov At Esterh zy Palace

180-gram triple LP

Grigory Sokolov, one of the most remarkable living pianists, plays Haydn and Schubert from the Esterházy Palace. Few locations for a concert could be more inspiring than the Haydnsaal of the Esterházy Palace in Eisenstadt. Here, midway between Vienna and the Hungarian border, Joseph Haydn spent more than three decades serving as Kapellmeister to the Esterházy Princes, during this time composing many of his symphonies, choral works and string quartets, and, not least, most of his 60-odd piano sonatas.
