Paganini-Liszt Etude No. 2 - Evgeny Kissin

i have a friend who is 17 and plays this piece too...he loves kissin as much as i do

not human?

there are so much more virtousic pieces then this

try grand galop chromatique or a lot more feux follett

I see it but I don't believe what I see...this man is brilliant

not human

I like this piece and play it sometime for myself

Do you any music in that ? Like heart-taking music

I think the most notable thing about Kissin is how he's among the greats in an age where most of them are gone. Listen to Horowitz's famed recording of this etude that Arthur Rubinstein marveled at and made him admit Horowitz was the superior instrumentalist. Then listen to Kissin playing it here, and see how his recording is JUST AS GOOD.

Really? Isn't Duchable the douchebag that's planning on burning his pianos? Your preferred pianist is someone who obsessively hates piano?

What do you define as "Kissin's luck"? I guess being able to deliver a serious interpretation of the Chopin Concertos at the age of twelve counts as luck?

And you have no idea how ironic your words are, given your username. Lang Lang himself is extraordinarily fortunate.

that's exacly what i mean...i'm not saying that lang lang wasen't lucky...evry famouse pianist is lucky and with lucky i mean the luck to be famouse...you are right...the power to play chopin at 12 is not luck but talent...but the power to play it in front of an audience that is luck...
