  • Man, all i can think about when i hear this particular version of this piece is in early WWII when the Polish fought the Nazi tanks with just horses and cavalry, and when the Russians held off the Germans at Stalingrad with ROCKS...I just think of nothing but triumph and death when I hear this piece, sometimes it just makes me cry.

  • In contrast to other performers of Pictures, Kissin illuminates every note, chord, trill, and scale. Voicings and balance are always under control. In other performances, the Gates of Kiev often sound like a blur or blizzard of notes. Kissin makes sure you hear everything. We can reflect on the genius of the composition without the perfomer's interpretive ticks or deficiencies getting in the way. Bravo!

  • @csportalcomua yes its far easier

  • @CaseyRocky

    Arguing who the best pianist ever was is like arguing who the richest millionaire is: it doesn't matter, they're all rich, or in this case, really goddamn good piano players.

  • Every time I listen to this, I want to go all the way to my own piano and play it myself. It's one of the most powerful pieces I've ever heard.

  • @3Gsquared

    Psh.

  • @3Gsquared You clearly know nothing about music, then, for it is his hair that gives him his great power.

  • I find it incredibly difficult to take him seriously because of his outrageous hairdoo...

  • i hate to say this but "shit-ty applause", just my opinion:)

  • Many people are saying the Promenade was too fast, but I like his tempo. Maybe the slow tempo would fit for the orchestrated version, however, I think the fast tempo fit greatly with the own sound of piano. Probably he had this kind of thought when he was understanding the song.
