Kissin plays Franz Liszt's famous Liebestraum No. 3 (Love Dream) on Liszt's own personal C. Bechstein piano in the salon at the Liszt House in Weimar where he resided during the summer months and gave master classes to students as well as private concerts from 1869 until his death in 1886.
Video originally uploaded to Kissin's instagram.

@needtoknowbasis3499 Жыл бұрын

I'm surprised no one has commented about these being the very sounds Liszt had heard. Perhaps Liszt paused and lingered as Evgeny did and allowed the instrument its own time to speak and breathe in its own peculiar manner. I feel he has succeeded in giving us a sense of what Liszt dreamed up in the privacy of this very room. Thank you for this.

Yeah, Evgeny is so humble and down to earth. He has absolutely zero arrogance or ego. Met him backstage after a concert once, he was visibly tired and slightly awkward but was extremely nice to everyone, and made sure everyone who wanted an autograph got one before thanking us all and waving goodbye. After he finished the first solo recital in the history of the BBC Proms in 1997, he rode off in a tiny red car with his teacher and mother and smilingly waved goodbye to his fans.

The amazing thing was, It was a charity concert in December and there was newspaper article about @Kissin mentioning he was doing this concert but not to have hopes for a ticket as the concert was sold out. Well I was and I still am a good fan, I prayed called the Wigmore Hall and was told I was a lucky man as someone had just cancelled. I was truly blessed as it was 5th row pianist side. Kissin had us all at his feet when he played the Polonaise in Ab opus 53. I will never forget that experience.

This piece has a special place in my heart. I played it as a child and as part of the repertoire I used to get into music school. Though I received a scholarship, I found that I wasn't well suited for a career in music -and the likelihood of becoming a music teacher, as most music students become. I have always believed that most recordings of this were far too fast so it's great to hear this more deliberate pace. I always look to Kissin for inspiration.

But it can no longer sustain like a modern concert grand. Therefore playing on it must have been a huge challenge! Kissin adjusted his playing to the piano and its by now limited capabilities.
