Brilliant but even he does not do the optional arpeggio at about 11:30. I have only seen Van Cliburn perform it.

Magnifique ! 😍

Восхитительно!

In my opinion, the best pianist of all time

Audience and orchestra alike - awestruck.

1:52 thanks for that cough

He’s evgeny kissin the audience with that song, the tempo and perfect pitch/intonation

Браво!

Βάλσαμο

Fire 🔥

And here we come to the point - it’s not about Just Technic. Incredible - out of earth performance - it moves me so much, so many feelings…unlike almost every other performances of Mephisto waltz and not only. Love You Kissin❤ Thanks God for Your Existance❤️🙏🏽✨

He nailed that shit

Ապրես

🎉🎉😅

Leuk🎉🎉

Merveilleux! Bravo Petros, the singing truckdriver!❤

Браво!!!!!! Ювелир!!!!!!!! Любим!!!!!

Does he pedal in the first 2 bars? and how does it make the first part so smooth? (other than lots of practice and talent lol)

Гений❤

Nobody better! No lang lang faces here!

This is so wonderful, and such a surprise to hear John Gielgud’s old and very tender voice as Rachmaninov’s….so fitting, it was! I’ve loved SR’s music since we first got a piano when I was 13….the first piece I taught myself (of my mom’s old music books) was the first movement of Beethoven’s “Moonlight” sonata (C# minor), then a few Chopin preludes, but then I tried SR’s Prelude in C# minor, since I’d already figured that horrible key out. I’ve really no idea why I chose it, because there were _SO many notes(!),_ but I learned a great deal of it, badly. When I went to college at the age of 17, I learned that I had a small musical gift and that I could look at music scores and feel the music in my head, so of course that’s why I liked the prelude, even if the Great Man himself tired of it. I guess what I’m trying to say is that singing Bach chorales as hymns and other music in church when I was little, and then Beethoven, Chopin, and Rachmaninov all helped me develop to a small degree an understanding of so many genres of music which has literally carried me through many really hard, hard times….the beauty and complexity always fed my soul, but nobody can teach love of music and art. You either can feel such beauty, or not. I’m sorry that SR was so depressed about Russia, but I hope he knows how many peoples’ lives he illuminated, as he has mine!

We missen al zoveel supermuzikanten van deze bezetting ..😢

0:18 - you realise you were sitting too close to the piano

Nice colors

Kissin is a very passionate pianist of pure straight forceful, straight Russian style playing. I love it, especially this piece.

why are you only uploading the 3rd sentence? Download all of them right away!

Such a simple yet delicate piece, never heard anyone played it like him

The best recording out there. Amazing

The absolute best interpretation of this piece that I've heard (comparison: Barenboim, Lisitsa, and many more..)

Thank you. My daughter is playing Prelude 10 opus 32. Now I understand why the music is so sad. Incredible man. I will look forward for your movies. You did really amasing job!

Every time I watch and listen to him it makes me think that he and Yuga Wang are like brother/ sister!!!

no one plays this better than him...🥰

Una obra maestra realmente pero vaya a saber que pasaría por la cabeza del autor para haberla suprimido del catálogo de su obras a esta obra tan perfectamente lograda..misterio

Fast forward video. People shake their heads unnaturally quickly. The tempo is too fast for this piece.

TOO FAST…

Wowwwww amazing 🤩🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🏽🔝

👍

J’aurais tant aimé être à ta place ! Sans les malaises évidemment 😅 Impressionnant quand même

His "piano" gives me goosebumps

I wrote this

Lovely interpretation!

Magistral

Kissin understood that the Devil doesn't hurry in doing its job 😊

Impressive. So imaginative, such control and precision, perfect dynamics. Hut ab!

This is how this piece should be played! After listening to a variety of younger 'greats' make a hash of it....what a pleasure. Thank you Mr Kissin.

Pianist Enrico Pace ?

I’m between this and khatia Buniatshisvili’s interpretation.
