Pondering with a heavy heart--maybe as heavy as Kissin's hands on those last chords--on what's happening in Ukraine right now, listening to this throws me into great depths of sorrow, a state of intractable existential anguish. Anybody feeling the same way?
Me too. Loved this piece for many years, since my music teacher introduced me to the Russian composers back in 1983. I can't believe we are back in similar circumstances (cold war atmosphere) as to when I first heard it.
Hats down, people, this is a genius. It's not just the unmatched almighty sound power. It's not just the huge dynamical amplitude. It's not just the creativity and absolute uniqueness in performing approach that makes him OWN this piece. This is The absolute ability, placed at absolute submission to a timeless team that sometimes author and perfomer make. A collaboration beyond the limits of both time and life and death. And now THIS is Art in its essence! And when I see videos of some lady-like performers crawling for survival under this Hell of a piece's demands, people hysterically applauding in comments proclaiming them for God himself, I think there should be some honesty in judging. Where judging means ability to discern good from bad, mediocre from exceptional. What Kissin accomplished here, is genious.
Been listening to alot of recordings but the momentary pause in 6:24 is what keeps me coming back! It makes so much difference in terms of anticipation and climax
His performance is overwhelming,,His ability gives me goose skin,, so it is terrible mighty piano play,,Are you who listen to this music a person of what country？please tell me it .
Courtesy of UA-cam I've watched a few performances of 'Kiev' of late. It's a most difficult piece, even for the most talented. But I see the same problems arising again and again. I looked at the last portrait of Mussorgsky; even in ill-health he strove to create music - only for us; we must respect what he left behind. Look at the middle sections - the ones that don't have audiences on their feet; they must be played with equal intensity. He wrote them to be played, so don't have a little rest when you come to them. Watch also the dynamic range; you can't go from so loud that the eardrums suffer to so quiet that you can't hear what is being played. Watch also the timing - sometimes it slips. I know it can't be easy - but then it wasn't for Mussorgsky either.
That pull-away shot near the very end is so good - if you look closely at the audience, you can see how many of them are on the edges of their seats. What a brilliant performance, just breathtaking. It's almost as if the piano itself is grateful.
Much too fast!!! Boogie-Woogie or Maestoso Con Grandezza??? YEAH!!! 2800 attacks per Minute! WOW!!! Nice Circus-Horse! Showtime! But he is missing a feather in his ass…
you have to be very angry at sth to play baba yaga perfect
🤣🤣
JAZZZ XD
Or just know what it's like to have two Mark III Cobras waiting for you outside the station.
Easy for me. I'd still be mad from botching the marketplace so badly.
@@weasel_in_a_tophat oh man the Marketplace is terrible, especially the ending makes me mad 😅
In order to get this right,u will have to flop ur head up and down to get it PERFECT
I felt every note as he played it. What an astonishing performance

It is emotionally challenging for me at this time.
Yes
Yes. But there is no such place as The Ukraine.
I can see the power emanating from him at 5:45.
one of best baba yaga + kiev EVER!
n10juan Evgenys performance is the best one
the raw energy is what really makes this performance
すばらしいです。
ウクライナとロシアの戦争が始まって以来、毎日この曲を聴いて泣いています。
爆撃・倒れた人々の悲しみ・きっと訪れるであろう平和・希望。
それらが表現しつくされた名曲です。
どちらの国民にとっても、大切な「キエフの大門」。
戦争が終わることをお祈りいたします。

Such an incredibly powerful piece of music, and such a powerhouse performance!
I played it with orchestra tonight, not easy for orchestra let alone for one player, indeed very good performance!
I love the sound of this recording - and this is just youtube, wow.
力強く寂しく優しく華麗で圧倒的な才能がみえる
Shin-i-chi Kozima ウミセチトマソホイ
It's crazy how it was 7 years ago in like 2017🙃
that kiev is beautiful, the all the power of the orchestra in one instrument - amazing
Not orchestra - tower bells!
Eccezionale esecuzione del giovane Kissin/ Exceptional performance of the young Kissin
Very much prefer this version from Kissin as a death metal lover.
I just love every time he plays a gigantic piece like this, he’s so freakin good!
Been listening to alot of recordings but the momentary pause in 6:24 is what keeps me coming back! It makes so much difference in terms of anticipation and climax
Genial !!!!!! Casi como tocar el cielo con las manos
Is anyone able to tell me the piano he is performing with? I love the sound!
That's a Steinway & Sons. Probably a Model D.
Just did the Baba Yaga mission in Rise of the Tomb Raider the other day... and then this shows up in my sub feed.
jonatan black no there's a mission all about Baba Yaga, I don't think this song is in it
"You can't tell a story with with instrumental only."

I can't think of anything more slavic than this.
Wow!
The Rapture!!!!!!! Bravo!!
eine phänomenale Einspielung!
3:17 Heroic gate of kyjev
M.Musorgskis - "Mājiņa uz vistas kājām" no klaviercikla "Izstādes gleznas"
One of my favorite pieces 😍 and such an amazing performance... Bravo
Bravo!
1:00 Chromatic aberration^1000
It literally sounds like it’s saying Uh! OHHHHH.. uh! uh! OHHHHH 🤣
Marvelous. I don't think you missed a note.
Pietro vuole suonare così come una strega
Perfect...

ピアノバージョンの展覧会の絵のCD持ってますよ。私も高校時代にクラブで管弦楽を３年プラス３年程経験しています。
確か、カラヤン指揮の。
最初から聞くと、管弦楽とは違うピアノバージョンの展覧会の絵の演奏は聴き応えアリです。
Much too fast!!!
Boogie-Woogie or Maestoso Con Grandezza???
YEAH!!! 2800 attacks per Minute! WOW!!!
Nice Circus-Horse! Showtime! But he is missing a feather in his ass…
¡De pie!
I was expecting baba yaga coming out his hair!
Kissin plays Mussorgskis "Great Gate of Kiev" very impressiv!!!
Formidable! Beyond magnificent!
Electrifying!
Amazing!!!
Soberbia interpretacion
WOW
Феноминально
Great performance. Hope he's not Russian. That would be sad.
I take that back. I see his a British as well as as an Israeli. Best wishes, and as much to Ukraine.
"I hope he's not Russian"
You think he has a choice?
He is and you should be embarrassed of yourself
Slawa Ukraine x
Mussorsky and Kissin are Russian and they killed it.
Why the fuck would you write that here? Imagine attempting a provocation in comment section of a classical live concert
I think kissin and lang lag is one of the best pianist
Please don’t insult Kissin by comparing him to Lang Lang.
@@kevinm6790 haha😅👍
I wonder if Kissin or Lisitsa at Czech rudolfinum played it better... I prefer Lisista's version
Lisitsa plays everything too fast for my taste - because she can, her skills are insane, but I sometimes feel that it hurts the piece a bit.
BIG CHUNGUS
this sucks
Imagine wasting energy to hate on people
It was so good even Animusic used it
Fuck you, asshole
fuck you bitch who the hell are you
fuck you kid
Слава Україні!
