Beethoven:Complete Piano Concertos
Continuing with its series of major concerto recordings
with Evgeny Kissin, EMI Classics will release the pianist's
first ever complete cycle of Beethoven Piano Concertos in September
this year. Kissin is partnered in these recordings by one of the master
Beethovenians of our time, Sir Colin Davis, leading the London Symphony Orchestra.
Recording the Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle is a momentous
experience for any pianist. For generations the concertos have
been the touchstone of an artist's maturity for their stylistic
bridge from the classicism of Haydn and Mozart to the first
flowering of Romanticism. Although Evgeny Kissin has performed
these works numerous times over the years - and even recorded
some of them previously - he waited until now to find the best
possible musical environment in which to make this very personal statement.
Recording Producer Jay Saks, who has worked closely with
Kissin since his 1990 Carnegie Hall's debut, said of the project:

"Recording the five Beethovens with Genya [Kissin] and Sir Colin was
just wonderful. [It was] such beautiful playing, so musical and
entirely in the character of Beethoven. It's not strange, not quirky,
it's just astonishingly beautiful, technically proficient,
musically extremely thoughtful - and profound. As a producer,
I have to remember that I am present at recording sessions [...]
for professional reasons. It is so easy to just sit and listen
and get swept away with what he's doing. These Beethovens are remarkable."
