Chopin 24 Preludes Op. 28 (Part 4) - Evgeny Kissin

[lllllllllllllll88]

Amazing! I never really listened to him in the past because he plays everything so ridiculously fast, but this is truly amazing playing from him...

Love it.

[Thecoolguy01]

if you're feeling dumbfounded, it means you're human

[chobeethaninov]

I love that bewildered look on his face as he stands up after he's finished. kind of like he just woke up out of a trance. Really, a true phenomenon!

[lllllllllllllll88]

@chobeethaninov - I agree with you. I love how he takes his bows: Very slow, with drowsy and dreamy eyes, yet very professional too. He's a real performer.

I love the 24 Preludes. I was first introduced to them through Classical Pianist Tzvi Erez' CD, and his are my favorites.

[humbher3]

great!!

[SalQrazy]

Solid

[anonymousQ45]

if you read about chopins playing described by authors, they described it as ' an energy without roughness/loudness.' you can hear that in no.24 in the a minor section at 7:30. that energy is incredible, how he could create that going from f to p, definitely an interpretation to study if you want to learn for yourself

[anonymousQ45]

at some point all 24 of these will become your favorite

[TspesVladD]

I like how he plays no. 18. Really fierce!

[kontrapunkti]

A bit Over Dramatic

[garfreed]

@kontrapunkti Dramatic -- not over dramatic.

[anonymousQ45]

chromatic thirds 8:35

i dont understand

[1984ekul]

@anonymousQ45 Go Go Gadget Fingers!!!

[anonymousQ45]

18 sounds russian a bit

[Jlan0151738]

@6:00... I didn't know a piano could make a sound like that...

[NuovoCurioso]

...bravissimo ...

[betumene]

The facial expressions are priceless!

Amazing playing.

[Gman6755]

Not much talent at work there, LOL!!  Kidding of course! A young master for sure!!!

[Naltino]

@Fledgehog...I'm with you! No words can describe it.

[y1g1tcn]

7:33 the piano..

[dussekfan]

Woow...look at him go.

[snappy452]

[fledgehog]

24. holy. shit.

[jbz7890]

@musicioso

Prelude 24 is much harder.

[pureaKero]

@musicioso Much, MUCH harder (but not as hard as prelude 16 and 19)!

[TwoWoods13]

magnifique !!!

[xiaonoobiexd]

What is the piece played at 2:10?

[flouz2]

@xiaonoobiexd prelude 20

[paraphil]

@xiaonoobiexd

It's No 20. Barry Manilow (of all people) used it for the opening and ending of his hit 'Could It Be Magic'

[mdoub]

good concert!

[gcaee]

I like kissin's performance.

but i can't understand is that many many critics said Kissin interpretation is shallow.

[bobomber]

Odd how he exaggerates his movements so much...

[turuladeburro]

Wow I love his version of the 24th, It´s powerful and , and, IT'S JUST PERFECT!!

[MadaraKalnina1]

24 - perfect!!! Brilliant! He is perfect!!

[contemporary1993]

no.18's beginning sounds similar to schumann's Aufschwung

[composerjoZ]

amazing as always!!

[gcaee]

i like his 24 !!

powerful hands !!

[flouz2]

and the 16th !!!!

[gymgymgymgym]

0:41 - scherzo no.2 ?

[addeex1]

Yee I´ve heard this prelude and the scherzos thousands of times, and when you say that it does really sound the same :P

[LittleArgerich]

yes^^ I agree you =)

[chutdigadut]

lol same notes for that lick haha never noticed that before until seeing your comment!

[szajbusek82]

[ZeroZenta]

I wish I could play like him!

[mehdi7687]

don't wish ! work !

[ZeroZenta]

I'm working as hard as I can! I'm practicing at least 4 hours every day!

[mehdi7687]

Good for you Fredrik ;) that's what i call the potential virtuoso.. Greetings from Algeria to Sweden.

[mdoub]

the joy of YouTube inspiration

[Poketrader18]

You can!

[rodrigo51702]

kissin is wonderful!that he was born to be a pianist

[Chopianist3]

I would love to meet someone who wouldn't give up their childhood to play that good...

[vizion24]

No. 21 and No. 24 are my favorites.

[ReyNixz]

waaah!!! he is not human!!!

[MaslAlek]

You're right! He is Martian!

[addeex1]

No 24 has a bit scriabin style:D

[lottoformulier]

indeed, beautiful! :O

[Hervinbalfour]

You mean Scriabin sounds like Chopin's style. ;-)

[addeex1]

Haha yeah what ever xD

[fr4545]

perfect

[alexlliszt]

bravo grand technique

[torontochopin]

Fantastic performance of these wonderful(and some difficult) preludes! Beautiful sound for Chopin as well.

Does he look like he's 'working' too much?

[ancatiberian]

he is supreme

[NyYangMinh]

He looks so tired after performance.

[LemonPie17]

well, I must say this is one of Kissin's better ones

[FreeShaun]

nice hair

[koobird]

is he just a showoff or a genuine artist?

[astronomo16]

Excepto el 24, todos son geniales. El 20 me pareció realmente bueno

[Javier08081995]

¿Por qué el 24? A mi me parece bastante bueno

[astronomo16]

el 24 es una de mis piezas favoritas de Chopin. Está bien tocado, pero las he oído mejores

[Javier08081995]

aaah.

yo pensaba que te referias a la forma de tocarlo, en velocidad y todo eso.

[astronomo16]

No, eso está bien. Evgeny es un pianista muy profesional, y con mucha experiencia. Además es bueno tocando Chopin. La ballade no.1 me encanta como la toca.

Es verdad que hay un momento que se equivoca en la pieza (aunque se le nota mucho), pero no es de las mejores interpretaciones que oí de esta obra ni mucho menos.

[callenishss]

dammit way too showy expression and movement. i think pollini sets the standard for number 24

[callenishss]

wow thsi guys pants are too short

amazing technique though

weird personality

[paopaomanalop]

I like the way you played no. 19! Excellent job!

[budzillab]

does anyone know how hard no. 22 is? i would like to attempt it... i'd like some advise first though thank you.

[Denesmanzo]

Amigo Kissin, lo hiciste una vez más....Increíble!

[KearneyPiano]

spectacular

[kirisuconductor]

Simplemente Genial, este tipo esta bendecido por el cielo, no solo es su maravillosa técnica sino la manera de comunicar el significado dramático de cada preludio. I love it!!! Gracias

[Darklord12356]

The thirds in 24...how....

[JListhename]

i know man, i know

[L33TOboist]

I think I'm just going to go practice my chromatic minor thirds for a few hours....... he makes me look really bad :(((

[drwerewolf217]

Thirded

(no pun intended)

[TheDougster93]

OMG I love that first one. Im learning it as we speak! (err type)

[pianojjab79]

great interpretation!

[noleno]

It's alive

[aderamus]

He is unbelieveable, crazy, different, genius, unique...... he isn't human!

[gcaee]

nap !! he of course is a human, a superb human !!

[Tone4Tony]

It would hve been very fun to listen to his own compositions that he have written. I think he would be a very good composer as well. But he maybe does´nt have time to write music nowadays. It must be very demanding to learn so many pieces.
