Grigory Sokolov: A Conversation That Never Was

Although his career put him in the limelight since adolescence, Sokolov's individual identity remains hidden by the intensely private artist, who refuses most interviews or recordings and distrusts what others say about him. All the more reason to celebrate filmmaker Nadezhda Zhdanova's recent documentary, which features incredibly rare interviews with the great man himself, and takes a detailed look at his life story and career. From rehearsal and concert footage to little-known facts about his past, meet Sokolov on his own terms.
