His discography reveals a particular interest in cello sonatas, with recordings dedicated to French composers like Farrenc, Alkan, Lalo, Koechlin, and Pierné, as well as major figures like Brahms, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, and Khachaturian.

Beyond his focus on sonatas, Sokolov has also released albums highlighting chamber works, suggesting a broader engagement with chamber music beyond the cello-piano duo setting.
