Evgeny Kissin is an ingenious pianist, a sublime musician, a virtuoso par excellence. It is the somnambulistic union of the musician with his instrument that creates the compelling effect the virtuoso has on the audience. More than just technically outstanding, he is a mastermind, an intellectually brilliant musician and a master of clarity. No one is left untouched by his creative might.

Evgeny Kissin is an ingenious pianist, a sublime musician, a virtuoso par excellence. It is the somnambulistic union of the musician with his instrument that creates the compelling effect the virtuoso has on the audience. More than just technically outstanding, he is a mastermind, an intellectually brilliant musician and a master of clarity. No one is left untouched by his creative might.

Having begun his career as a true child prodigy, he has lost none of the natural clarity and individuality that is the hallmark of only the most exceptionally gifted individuals.

“Evgeny Kissin has always been a phenomenon and now skilfully navigates between the written score and his own unique interpretative style. A huge round of applause for moments of piano brilliance.” (Süddeutsche Zeitung, 7/24)
