专辑介绍
by Bernard Michael O'Hanlon
Russians might be mad, bad and dangerous to know but there are not a few saints and geniuses among their ranks: Switzerland in its blandness they ain't. Put a latter-day Rasputin in charge of Nestle or UBS and it might redress matters.
Other than his sterling work in the Art of the Fugue, Grigory Sokolov was but a name to me. What a dolt I was: here is another prodigy from Scythia. This Schubert came my way from a friend. It unhorsed me on the spot. Sokolov has fingers of steel. While it is the least of concerns, blemishes are stupendously rare in this live concert. His technique is not divorced from poetry - far from it. As another reviewer commented, Sokolov knows what he wants to say and stupendously says it. He is thoroughly attuned to Schubert the Ever-Wanderer with no family or abode.
This is easily the best D 894 I have ever heard. Schumann steadfastly maintained that it was Schubert's greatest sonata. I am almost persuaded so by this performance. Every bar pulsates with life and purpose and does so in light of the overarching structure. Then there is the tempi: for 'slow' read 'dreamlike'. I always judge D 894s by the self-contained episode in the finale some three minutes in when Schubert muses wistfully on the passing spectacle of material things. Sokolov is equal to the challenge: oh, what poetry he evokes. How did Schubert ever find the courage to write such things? Walt Whitman was hardly being original when he declaimed `O past! O happy life! O songs of joy!'
Far more than its Sibelian counterpart, Schubert's last sonata could serve as the incidental music to the Tempest.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
And yet in this mighty work, Schubert affirms life and memory over the nothingness. My lodestar in D 960 is Kempff's performance from January 1967 where he eviscerates Time itself. There's nothing like it in discography and it is the best thing Kempff ever did. Solokov runs him damn close: every note and phrase is illuminated by stillness, renunciation and valediction. The Russian is preferable in the Scherzo where his German counterpart is too portly.
Gun stuff. The recording is lifelike. Good night Maurizio and don't bother me again.

热门评论
- @66风儿： 也许很多国内的乐迷对Grigory Sokolov并不熟知,为了大家更多的知道他， 虽然20世纪钢琴家100cd并未收录Sokolov，Sokolov当之无愧是前10名之一的钢琴大师。 听sokolov演奏的舒伯特奏鸣曲，你什么都不需要去想。因为你将完全融进这个音乐里面。不会在意以前听cd苛求的与众不同。所有往事都将回忆，那不是悲伤的感觉， 是一种沧桑感，但仍带着一份童真。能够从乐曲中体会到:舒伯特已经意识自己临近死亡，却有仍然渴望着什么…
- @Tasia：曾经不能接受舒伯特，嫌他太冗长。渐渐明白，这样微妙的感情起伏，只有用一颗沉静的心去领悟。或者说，你目前的心境如何呢，听听舒伯特就知道。

- @Quecksilber( )：早就是被这个960圈粉，扒过几乎市面上所有版本，还是只有索神的schubert最能打动我心！（还有一个无与伦比的演绎是锤子）！
- @9chie(你想好了嗎)：春夏日散步的歌單選好啦
- @野田(这家伙很聪明什么也没留下...)：索神得手大概是神来之手吧 每个音符都能抓住我的心
- @莫肖貝(悠然心会，妙处难与君说)：越發迷戀舒伯特了，他的歡樂與苦楚都離我們那麼近，那麼真實。
