    What do Purcell and Mozart have in common – the grounds, tunes, and dances of the English Baroque composer and the piano works from the Viennese Classical period? A lot, when played by Grigory Sokolov. His annual spring tours have become pilgrimages for his devoted followers. He dedicated the entire 2022/23 season to Purcell and Mozart (supplemented by five encores), and this live album reveals their shared streaks of charm and melancholy. The press was rapturous: “Sokolov treats every note as a precious jewel, transporting his listeners to another time while remaining timeless (Der Standard). “Unfailingly enthralling” (Süddeutsche Zeitung); “His touch: exquisite, concentrated, sparkling, luminous” (rbb online); “This colossal artist who never ceases to astonish” (Scherzo).
