Geniuses S03E02 · Vladimir Sofronitsky

Overview

The name of Vladimir Sofronitsky is on a par with the names of Anton Rubinstein and Sergei Rachmaninoff. Prokofiev and Shostakovich admired him, and the composer Glazunov shortly before his death called him one of the most remarkable Russian pianists... Vladimir Sofronitsky did not win international competitions, his titles are modest, and his biography is not rich in external notable events... But most importantly — a pianist of refined romantic style, Sofronitsky enjoyed a special favor of the public, which no official awards can win.
