Biography
As a pianist who revels in challenges, Szokolay performs pieces that allow him to explore different aspects of the instrument. Many works from the Romantic period -- by Chopin, Schumann, Grieg, among others -- sit comfortably next to the delightful pieces of Baroque composer Domenico Scarlatti and the rhythmically and melodically challenging works of Bartok. Pure joy radiates from Szokolay's virtuosic performances.
