(Grigory Sokolov | 2023 | Live) Purcell: Suite No.4 in A minor,

It’s odd how these things work. The Sarabande here, on its own it loses its magic, and as Sokolov plays it you only perceive it as a piece of marked particularity. But when you hear it as part of the Suite, with the other movements fresh in mind, as he reaches the Sarabande, it’s as if the most important thing in the world is being said.
