I felt every note as he played it. What an astonishing performance

the raw energy is what really makes this performance

In order to get this right,u will have to flop ur head up and down to get it PERFECT

one of best baba yaga + kiev EVER!

that kiev is beautiful, the all the power of the orchestra in one instrument - amazing

you have to be very angry at sth to play baba yaga perfect

I love the sound of this recording - and this is just youtube, wow.

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

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?

I can see the power emanating from him at 5:45.

Such an incredibly powerful piece of music, and such a powerhouse performance!

Perfect...

eine phänomenale Einspielung!

Eccezionale esecuzione del giovane Kissin/ Exceptional performance of the young Kissin

力強く寂しく優しく華麗で圧倒的な才能がみえる

Genial !!!!!! Casi como tocar el cielo con las manos

"You can't tell a story with with instrumental only." Modest Mussorgsky: "Hold my kvass."

One of my favorite pieces 😍 and such an amazing performance... Bravo

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。

Wow!

Kissin plays Mussorgskis "Great Gate of Kiev" very impressiv!!!

Amazing!!!

Just did the Baba Yaga mission in Rise of the Tomb Raider the other day... and then this shows up in my sub feed.

Electrifying!

Courtesy of KZfaq 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.

Is anyone able to tell me the piano he is performing with? I love the sound!

I can't think of anything more slavic than this.

WOW

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 .

Marvelous. I don't think you missed a note.

Very much prefer this version from Kissin as a death metal lover.

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。

I was expecting baba yaga coming out his hair!

Феноминально

Pietro vuole suonare così come una strega

Soberbia interpretacion

I think kissin and lang lag is one of the best pianist

The Rapture!!!!!!! Bravo!!

Great performance. Hope he's not Russian. That would be sad.

I wonder if Kissin or Lisitsa at Czech rudolfinum played it better... I prefer Lisista's version
