Chopin - Sonata No.3 Op.58 - 1. Allegro Maestoso (Evgeny Kissin)

[fredericfranc]

...this sonata much ignored by "commentators" even under LL's job, presumably because it is less of "kid stuff "...Mr.K., at least, sounds like a believable Chopinist, but he is letting himself go a bit much with the wayward rubato and so on...but disciplined, strategic playing is not this guy's kick...the great afro is sort of wasted under the increasingly jowly puss...nothing much can be done...the pianist dining at McDonald's too much, like the good American he is...

@fredericfranc Kissin's not American.

@chobeethaninov ...if you make a habit of eating at McDonalds you end up looking american (i.e. you are what you eat...)...

C'est magnifique, je le pense vraiment du fond de mon coeur!!!

Oh my! Absolutely the best! Was this recorded at a live performance? I did catch a few errors (but those are trivial and don't matter at all). Kissin the best!!!
