Title: This is one of the worst pianists of all time
Product review: Sokolov is a heavy handed pianist with no sense of musicianship. I saw a review of his Berlin recital in the NY Times and bought several of his recording based upon that and the amazon reviews. His interpretations are that of a student, not a developed artist. I can understand why one of the amazon reviewers said she did not like Brahms but liked Sokolov. Sokolov, obviously, does not like Brahms either. Banging on the piano is not playing. If you want to hear Brahms played properly, listen to Helene Grimaud. Do not buy the Bach recording either.
