Always astounded by his clarity. Even in the most dense or technically difficult passages he creates beautiful music and perfectly prioritizes voices imo
This performance makes Lang Lang's seem amatorial and ridiculous!!! I'm just speechless! Sense of humor, real "waltz beat", incredible clarity, accuracy, breathtaking technique...This is by far THE performance of this peace among the ones I know.
He's got such a heavy sound yet it doesn't sound abrupt...I mean it doesn't come from nowhere. Instead, you can feel that passion and think that's the way it should go.
but don'tlisten to his Chopin's Etude inE minor Op25 No5 it's stylistic impertration is so bad I listended to 80 different world class pianists play it and he is on the bottom 30 of them
I agree, I heard Kissin live twice, the first time I was shocked, enamored and enchanted by his playing (he played the b flat minor intermezzo by Brahms and also a transcription of the g minor Hungarian dance no.1), the other time I was very disappointed, he played Chopin three nocturnes - f minor, g major and e major, then he played Schumann sonata f minor, then Debussy preludes and lastly Scriabin sonata no.4, it was not impressive, but rather dry and academic this time
He has the greatest piano hands and the most impeccable finger movement - precision action every instant. Every note is considered, addressed and tossed off.
Such délicatesse, and such beauty transmitted in each note and phrasing. It's beyond my comprehension why anyone would even put a thumbs down for this live recording. Those who put a thumbs down clearly do not play piano, and wouldn't even be able to perform like this.
Breathtakingly beautiful and joyous. Kissin's clarity of playing is unmatched, every one of the million notes is heard in its own special way. He misses nothing.
This particular piece by Strauss played by Kissin did not interest me before until I just heard him play. I must conclude that after hearing the entire performance I love his way of playing Strauss music. He really captured the character and style of Strauss waltzes.Thank you for sharing this I really appreciate it. Toronto
TRUE ARTISTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an AWESOME performance!!!!!! Such rich, beautiful music - what a command of so many touches! He brings out every line with such clarity!!!! Evgeny is such a bright shining star!!!!!! -- Diane
have recorded this in November on my digital TV. the oldest recordings still saved on the hard drive :) just amazing. a shame i can not 5 star this anymore.
Kissin, this is a very interesting music, isn't it? It is so playful and innovative. So much fun to listen to. Such a little high pitched notes are tickling at my heart.
I hate modern society in terms of music. I just wish that there could be some way that I could just transform the world back to loving classical music. This man is an absolute genious.
although I like a few parts in Lang Lang's own arr., I do have to admit Kissin's performance here has much more clarity, also very accurate and more staccatoy
Absolutely. Kissin is a true musician that understands the music and brings that natural beauty to us while at the same time being remarkably expressive.
Emphaticltalic. He did at least seven encores. People were amazed at his Stravinsky. they went mad and he then played some lovely quiet pieces like Metner, also amazingly hard ones.
Utterly perfect technique. Almost inhumanly perfect. He's truly amazing.
Doesn't get any better. Kissin's clarity is mindboggling, every note heard. Fledermaus would be proud.
Always astounded by his clarity. Even in the most dense or technically difficult passages he creates beautiful music and perfectly prioritizes voices imo
Yeah his clarity is just be young human level. This version is just purely mind blowing 😢

You try to seem so highbrow but you can't even use the proper punctuation or spellings. Try again. Bro.
@@kevinkraft5480 lol nor can you.
So true 😂
i have to come back and watch this perfomance at least once a month to remember that it is absolutely BREATHTAKING
The pause at 4:28 encapsulates everything. EK just gets it more than anyone else. Saw him last week, the man's a genius
I liked that encapsulation saying.
When I heard him in Dublin some years ago he was truly amazing. The audience wouldn't let him go. He did an enormous amount of encores.
He's got such a heavy sound yet it doesn't sound abrupt...I mean it doesn't come from nowhere. Instead, you can feel that passion and think that's the way it should go.
He fills the gap between humanity and perfection.
That's it, Kissin! Great!!
I haven't heard this in a while. Kissin still impresses me.
but don'tlisten to his Chopin's Etude inE minor Op25 No5 it's stylistic impertration is so bad I listended to 80 different world class pianists play it and he is on the bottom 30 of them

His clarity of playing is, as always, unmatched. When it comes to the Cult of Kissin, I'm brainwashed. Truly one-of-a-kind.
Oh, what a blessing this young man!!!!!
I love how before he starts, he's like, if you want me to play an encore piece you have to shut up.
Seriously exceptional in every way
He has the greatest piano hands and the most impeccable finger movement - precision action every instant. Every note is considered, addressed and tossed off.
Yes indeed🎶He is miracle and great👍😀👏❤️
Staccatooooos :D !
Just enough strength to just do them perfectly... That guy is so powerful
he is the greatest
Beautiful playing.
Virtuoso ! I love his Steinway by the way...
OH WOW, I have never seen anything like this before. He is Awesome!!!
Such délicatesse, and such beauty transmitted in each note and phrasing. It's beyond my comprehension why anyone would even put a thumbs down for this live recording. Those who put a thumbs down clearly do not play piano, and wouldn't even be able to perform like this.
As I already stated, I first saw this on television and had quite the same impression as I have now.
I can't think of any living instrumentalist who moves my soul like Kissin does. #completeboss
I think he plays it perfectly, and then some, truly exciting and memorable, like a great trip to the fair or a theme park as a kid, or even adult
oh what a masterpiece my heartbeat always change when i listen it.
he is really talented and blessed!!!
You can be talented. He is one of the greatest genius in history.
just incredible, love kissin without a doubt one of the best
this is so addictive to my ears, what beautiful interpretation, kissin is one the greatest, so perfect--he never messes up 99.9% of the time!!!

Fantastico maestro Kissin .....
