  • Kissin is Liszt of our time! 

  • 1. Watch kissin's version

    2. Watch bang bang's version

    3. laugh to death

  • Divino .. Meraviglioso .. Isabella

  • 240p but should be the best one

  • He plays it like an exercise. It will grow on him.

  • I'd be gay for this guy.

  • @Dan474834 gtfo

  • @FourthSpell Wouldn't you?

  • @Dan474834 too skinny

  • @FourthSpell And that matters more than this amazing talent? Wow, that's about as superficial as you can get...

  • Kissin is playing on a YAMAHA (likely CFIII.) Good example of that good pianists have his/her own tone.

  • @MukudaiYoshiyuki hes playing on a Steinway. . .

  • i wish he could be my neighbour so i can lie in my hammock on the balcony all day listening to him play

  • Please check out my Glinka performance - Kissin has inspired me to learn a lot of pieces, including Liebestraum. Thanks for posting this beautiful recording.

  • beautiful

  • This video has been added to your Favorites.

  • Aou da vinch ah las dou mah mia tochin da las vin!!!

  • LOOK! I's a cuuuuutttee puppy, it's totally adorable, AAAaaaawwwww!!!!!!! Can I keep it, mommy? pleeeaaase!!!!! And it can play the piano!

  • This is exactly how the piece should be performed.

  • Articulating the right hand is so challenging in this piece. It's amazing to see how well some of the pros do it.

  • やるな!このキノコ、感動した。

  • lovelovelove kissin. love his hair and how he introduces peices with his little accent. so cool.

  • I've just witnessed perfection. Wow.

  • Merveilleux! Génial! Vrai!!!

  • ちょっとくどくどしいかなーあまりタイプではない。

  • Who even dislikes this?

  • He looks like 6 in this! Haha

    But he's an incredible pianist... wow.

  • This dude is a sav. I bet he got some ass after this.

  • Ann Maria?

  • I like his hairstyle!

  • Comment removed

  • After hearing Kissin, I can't listen to anyone else's Liebestraum. :) Saw him in an all-Liszt recital in Boston this week and I am still dazed! I couldn't believe it when he played this piece for his last encore - I've been listening to it for years and to hear it live at last was incredible! <3

  • @SquimpyLove your really lucky you know

  • He looks like Mozart

  • @Fibiger17 my buttox mozart was short and ugly....he looks like more like Von Beethoven!

  • 流石です。すばらしい!!

  • I cannot stop coming back to this video. I hum the tune at work, i think of the elegance of his style as i play my piano, i am intoxicated by the beautiful sound ...

  • Wow!!! An awesome piece, a beautiful Steinway, an amazing talented young man....Bravo Mr. Kissin!

  • きいてみたいですね!生演奏・・・すばらしい!

  • virtuosious

  • 鬼神

  • 素敵!

  • 1:25 through 1:34 is like something from heaven.

  • his cadenza was SO crisp

  • What is this piece called? The Japanesse Etude?

  • @TheAaronPetit

    Liebestraum

  • @melagads Thanx!

  • @TheAaronPetit Liebestraum No. 3 - Franz Liszt

  • beautiful wonderful great

  • I just like his style in playing piano

  • HAAAAAAaaaaaa....

  • @Berfonito23 I know... isn't genuine emotion great? :3

  • Lang Lang is a Litsz, Kissin a Chopin; the first playing for effect, the other for emotion and it´s aesthetic relationship with the intellect.

  • この曲大好きです

  • Beautiful hands!

  • I went to his concert at Yokohama in Japan last year.

    it was sooooo great!

  • 素晴らしい!

    日本ではリストはフジコ・ヘミングさんの演奏が有名ですが、

    これを聴いたら、全部吹っ飛びます。

    多分、10代の頃の思いますが、すでに演奏が黄昏ちゃってます。

    最高!!!!

  • I'm growing out my virtuofro, while practicing this piece... I predict by the time I have it completely mastered, my poofy hair will rival his.

  • What a GREAT gift God gave this young man!!!

  • So beautiful...

  • Black boy can play.

  • @bleucheese14 that comment made no sense what so ever...

  • @bleucheese14

    You are kidding .. right!

    He is Russian!

  • @ladybaikal He's not black? Should be.

  • Well in those he was very busy, never time for a haircut you know. Just imagine a barber trying to keep up with him during rehearsal. First a barber had to memorize the score also, as Kissin is always moving. And who could predict that sudden head jerk, at 1:58? Extremely dangerous. This is why Mozart and Rossini wrote about barbers. Something for hair critics to think about.

  • i luv the hair. i think it enhances how he looks as a virtuoso if you get what i mean. anyway he IS a genius!

  • I like Kissin's style, he plays emotionally.

  • 15 people missed the "like" button

  • I think the hair is a metaphor.

  • Piano virtuosity, and all people can say is "lolz, he needs a haircut." Perhaps those people would be better off watching pop videos where the fashion tips are actually appreciated - they are not here.

  • @meaning1 thank you for that comment!!!

  • @lovewatermelon1

    No worries. I like to think some people have their priorities straight. Piano > hair

  • Ah... Liebestraum... :)

  • cut your hair dude

  • It's not a SONG you idiot. Song is when someone SINGING. This is a musical piece.

  • such a pianist comes once in every hundred years

  • a pianist as this one, comes once in every hundred years!

  • VERY GOOD IF I WERE YOU I AM BE VERY HAPPY

  • He should have a hair straightener :O

  • Kissin is always brilliant ......

  • So sweet~ I love this song!! :D

  • BEAUTIFUL! PERFECT!

  • Lol 0:57 - 1:22 it looks like he's falling asleep then shaking his head to stay awake. Or was he just structing his hair.

  • So what ahuachapan??? Does his hair plays the music???

    Concentrate yourself on is technique, on the music... Otherwise it's just a simple ... gossip!

  • come on guys it's just an Afro

  • 5/5!!

    greatest ever!

  • can hear him playing always and ever - don't get tired - every composition becames a special note - he brings me to hear the purity an clearness of music - like of another world

  • He looks like a puppy, but plays like a tiger.

  • @inazuma3gou

    You know, your opinion is great!!!

  • Aqui llego Bala (Bala, Bala)

    El show va a comenzar (ya llego, ya llego)

    Les traigo lo mejor (Bala, Bala)

    De mi repertorio...

  • he has some tics!

  • how is this piece called?

  • Liebestrame no. 3

  • @Magnank

    This piece is called "Liebestraum" and was composed by a man named Franz Liszt. =) "Liestraume" is German for "dreams of love".

  • :))

  • After the 1st cadenza he keeps the melodic line, but also brings out the accompaniment, something that others just hush up.

  • wow he played better than all the big names on Youtube.

  • he is a big name himself!

  • 神 爱 世 人 , 甚 至 将 他 的 独 生 子 赐 给 他 们 , 叫 一 切 信 他 的 , 不 至 灭 亡 , 反 得 永 生 。

    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

  • no to mention his apparent tics he has going for himself there

  • I LOLed at @frenzyfast's comment x]

    Kissin plays so perfectly

  • and when u are cute people say u aren't good enough and uve made it only because u are so cute

  • i think he was 19 here...

  • BRAVO!!!!!

  • WRONG

  • ignorance is bliss...

  • haha guinesstrail tell me you are kidding.

  • I am also a big fan of Evgeny Kissin. Please get his recordings of Chopin's mazurkas at Carnegie Hall. CD was released under RCA Victor Red Label. They are so good that you will not be able to listen to anyone else play them. Please check it out.

  • he's so cute!!

  • And he plays so beautifully!

  • yup he is...):

  • Kissin displays here what has always set him apart - an uncanny sense of line in the melody - very strong. A favorite album of his for me, for that reason, is the one with his Liszt trnscrpts of Schubert songs. One downside though is that the melody has a certain obligatory intensity to it - it must always sing, intensely, for Kissin. There is not much mystery to this performance. Still - very, very strong. Kissin is like no other.

  • 私は今この曲を練習しています。弾き方、音がとても素敵なのでお­手本にします。

  • if that was true than there would be no idols popstar or any other tallent show on tv anymore

    u get famous couse people happen to see u at the right moment.

  • everyone thinks they are so tough but if they were why don't we see them on stage worldwide like we see evgeny...

  • I wish there was an Evgeny Kissin youtube channel.

  • His hair is like after sonic boom...

  • @ahuachapan2 i wonder what kind of people voted +22 for your comment! He is so incredible and the only thing you are saying is about his hair??? lol

  • @iostasia normal people. I wonder how it is to have your hair mistook for a bird's nest.

  • @ahuachapan2 Or chemical accident xD!

  • @ahuachapan2 i agree

  • Not good execution, IMHO. I heard before a lot of amazing things from this young man, I think maybe that evening he was not at 100%. A lot of mistakes, but I indeed consider Kissin a very very interesting pianist.

  • I think the sound is not good. Maybe the instrument is methalic. Or accusthic problems.

  • too "much" mistakes in your grammar mr. perfect.

  • is it only me or is the piano sound really strange?

    but well played

  • Awesome hair.

  • he looks innocent here, but his playing is

    adult-liked!! Very awsome performance athough he is young.

  • 4:40-4:46

  • i think that you should do what he does:pay attention to what's important,and dont make fun of someone's hair...

  • haha nice answer,you re clearly as smart as i thought,thanks for showing it to everyone :)

  • oh,sad u eventually DID :) haha.and im sorry to tell you that what u said is not a joke,but it's actually simple,just like you,darling...

  • Are you actually 18? Darling is a word I'd expect to hear from a 70 year old.

    Is English your second language or are you just too lazy to write a coherent sentence?

  • so are u gonna talk about music or keep saying rubbish?? well...now i think about it and u havent said anything about kissin's music yet,u just talk about...hair and d*cks...u're boring me,go and practise a bit and only after u play as kissin does come and say stupid things about a genious's hair.

  • I said he was a piano genius didn't I?

    Yes his hair is unorthodox, but that doesn't take away from his talent.

    u r a d*ck, s*ck my c*ck, f*ck u,

  • u re soooooooo boring.u really need to respect people,hhhhhhhhoney.now stop,imbécil (and yes,that's a word from my FIRST LANGUAGE)

  • Kissin

  • ***ooooooh, voy a llorar!!! *****

  • I have always loved Liszt's "Liebestraum" and have multiple recordings of it but this video has given me goose pimples. This boy is magical. This is, without a doubt, my favorite interpretation. Is it because it's faster, as some write, I don't know- I just find it spellbinding.

  • hay Kissin how wonderful you are!

    every time I hear him play I fly so far away.

  • to me it the best version!!

  • 降りてきてますね。

    Bravo!

  • と立ち上がる

  • sure

  • *adores*

  • This play is so much emotional. Two days ago finally I could go to his recital in Yokohama, Japan. How I was happy!!

  • I did too, it was great!

  • he needs to cut his hair

    hed be wayy cooller

  • His hair is much shorter now. I like him either way.

  • his hair give him his style, and i like that way better. Just watch his hair when he is playing (la campanella for example) , just love it :)

  • I love Liszt. And admire very much Kissin, altough this particular performance is a little too fast for me.

    He will become one the greatest pianists of all time... But here he still hadn´t reach the greatness of Arrau or Rubinstein with this magnificent piece.

  • try this one

    /watch?v=-kKoHqdImYE&feature=r­elated

    (youtube) same piece performed by him at London in year of 07. 16 years added more layers of emotions and depth in his performance...

  • wow........what more can I say...

    Thank you for the performance. I'm glad I live at the same time of era with you.

  • a bit slow on the beginning,but in the other recording he plays it faster.........very good voicing of the melody,I found that to be hard at first

  • this is the right tempo

  • If you look at the only other video of kissin playing this,he speeds it up to the tempo most take it at(rubinstein,me,most players)

  • i've seen it,i play this a little slower.....for me,this tempo is just perfect!

  • whatever works for you :)

  • lol......just saying..:)

  • wow

  • ↓ (≧ワ≦)ノ

  • His playing is probably one of the best thing that happened to this world. (and his hair too)

  • how old is he here?

  • 19 almost 20 I think.

  • liebestraum!

    very good!!!

    he is my favorite...

  • VERY GOOD ,THANKS ,RELAX THE SPIRIT

  • WoW.......................he's the BEST!!!!

  • Es un angel

  • he has the most beautiful hands
