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.

[guarrho]

perhaps you could post a program?

[capitantotti]

@guarrho of course

[XPKpianist]

@kinkokonko It does.

[kinkokonko]

@XPKpianist does it matter?

[ChrisKogos]

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!!

[sunamiassault]

@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.

[Elfaih]

Merci ♥♥♥))

[llllloolllll]

Acctually the best pianist... Genius

[Leogddubois]

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

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.
