Product description

Immerse yourself in the virtuosity of Evgeny Kissin with "The Essential Evgeny Kissin," a captivating collection of classical piano masterpieces released in 2008. Spanning over two hours, this double-disc album showcases Kissin's extraordinary technical prowess and artistic depth, making it an essential addition to any classical music enthusiast's library.

The album opens with a powerful rendition of Bach's "Toccata, Adagio & Fugue in C Major, BWV 564," setting the stage for a journey through some of the most beloved and challenging works in the piano repertoire. Kissin's interpretation of Chopin's Nocturnes and Mazurkas is particularly noteworthy, demonstrating his ability to infuse each piece with a unique sensitivity and expressiveness.

In addition to Chopin, the album features works by other renowned composers such as Schumann, Stravinsky, and Busoni. Highlights include the intricate "Études-tableaux" by Medtner, the dramatic "Three Movements from Petrouchka" by Stravinsky, and the transcendent "Chaconne" from Bach's Partita No. 2, transcribed by Busoni.

Evgeny Kissin's playing is characterized by its clarity, precision, and profound musical insight. Whether he is tackling the technical demands of the "Toccata" or the lyrical beauty of the "Nocturne," Kissin's performances are always compelling and deeply engaging. This album is a testament to his artistry and a celebration of the enduring power of classical music.

About Evgeny Kissin

Evgeny Kissin, the Russian-born concert pianist and composer, has captivated global audiences for over three decades with his virtuosity and profound musicality. Born in Moscow in 1971, Kissin began playing the piano by ear at the astonishing age of two, and by six, he had entered a specialized music school. His international breakthrough came in the 1980s, and since then, he has been hailed as a living legend in the classical music world.

Kissin's repertoire is vast, but he is particularly renowned for his interpretations of Romantic era composers such as Chopin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff. His playing is characterized by a rare technical mastery that serves his deeply poetic and lyrical interpretations, making him a worthy successor to the great Russian piano tradition. Beyond his concert performances, Kissin has also explored composition, adding another dimension to his artistic legacy. A British citizen since 2002 and an Israeli citizen since 2013, Kissin continues to inspire with his bold and imaginative performances, fearlessly sharing his unique musical vision with the world.
