Chopin records with Sokolov.
on: January 02, 2008, 01:21:46 AM
This fall I watched Sokolov in Stockholm when he played Chopin. One of the extra numbers was the A minor Mazurka opus 68 no 2. Im curious if anyone knows if this piece is included in any of his recordings. Also what records you would recommend by him overall, since I´m fairly new to his work.
/Thanks

Can't help you with that Mazurka, but I can recommend his CD of Bach's The Art of the Fugue and his Brahms 3rd Sonata. Actually, this box set might be the best way to go:
