Simply the best pianist.

Evgeny Kissin is my man-crush

[liszt85]

That Prokofiev Sonata blew my mind away! What a pianist!! I didn't enjoy the Op.10/2 very much, I have a feeling that he started that slightly faster than he wanted to, but that is a quibble really.. there is nothing to complain about here, this is a top notch performance!!

Merci ♥♥♥))

[llllloolllll]

Acctually the best pianist... Genius

[gustavoantoniops]

This concert is one of the best I have ever seen! The program is incredible: In one side, not so well known musics (for most people), sec. XX music; in another side, romantic ones, "classical hits".. it has etudes, sonata, mazurkas... And so well played! I started to like Prokofiev with Kissin, and his interpretation here of the 8th sonata is brilliant and the best i know.

@gustavoantoniops not as good as frederic chiu. chiu's prokofiev has a certain thrill to it. It shows a lot more study devoted to the piece.

This is lovely...Kissin in top form again! What an absolute gem of a recital...

Thank you so much - i am enjoying your uploads! :) greetings from austria

Thank you very much for this whole recital that was split in bits in other videos. Where do you find all these whole recitals and sometimes very rare?

[XPKpianist]

Actually he played Chopin etudes op.10 no.1,2,3,4,12 Op.25 no.5,6,11 (not the whole 12 etudes op.12 as written on the details)

[capitantotti]

@XPKpianist Yes you are right, and actually he plays Op.10 No.3 after, not before, No.4. Thank you.

[XPKpianist]

@capitantotti No, I thank you. For posting all great complete recitals videos!

[Leogddubois]

@capitantotti No he doesn't, he plays No. 3 before No. 4

[guarrho]

cheers!

Beautiful concert, brilliant program. That's a point worth noting, because not all great performers are good at building a program that both challenges and entertains an audience. Kissin's just entered his mature phase (I'll get my first look at him next spring when he plays the Chopin b minor sonata at Carnegie), and it already seem like a safe prediction that he will be eventually remembered as one of the giants of 21st c. piano. BTW: another marvelous upload, Capitan!

[guarrho]

perhaps you could post a program?

[capitantotti]

@guarrho of course
