Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Evgeny Kissin never disappoints on record: no matter how high your expectations, he always finds a way of surpassing them. This disc features the piano transcription of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition as well as the Bach-Busoni Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C, BWV564, plus a charming Glinka song arranged by Balakirev, and is stunning in every way. Hitherto, one of the best recordings of Mussorgsky's masterpiece was that of Ivo Pogorelich, in which the sound is sculpted with rare authority and grace. But, after a notably unfussy start, Kissin finds a more extreme kind of magic: virtuosic of course, but by turns also comic and deeply expressive; his palette of colour is astonishingly rich. It's no surprise that Busoni's arrangement of Bach's short suite should be so seldom played--with its bare octaves and awkward angularities, it's the very opposite of ingratiating--but Kissin brings it unerringly through to its final blaze of glory. And as for The Lark, just let that bonne bouche work on you. This is a lovely record. --Michael Church

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!, 18 May 2002
By ianmalpass@hotmail.com (Tipton, England) - See all my reviews
I saw Evgeny Kissin playing stuff from the C.D live at symphony hall: the reason I purchased the C.D. The performance was extra-ordinary. Genius is an over used word today, seems every three chord wonder attracts the tag. But how the title fits Kissin! His mastery of the instrument kicks belief, and this man isn't just a technique, the musicality is profound, the understanding of the pieces absolute. Nothing, of course, can compare let alone beat the experience of genius live, but this C.D comes as close as it possible. In short, forget five stars, this is a perfect ten!

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterful playing, 8 Dec 2002
By A Customer
I heard some of these pieces live at the Royal Festival Hall, and it was a magnificent recital. This CD is also fist class. Evgeny Kissin plays with total conviction and mastery of the instrument, every 'picture' in the Mussorgsky for example, is brought out with such clarity that it is quite overwhelming. The Glinka/Balakirev is also played with musicality of a very high order. The Bach/Busoni is rather too esoteric for me as a piece, but as a performance Kissin plays with such a tremendous technique to the point that you just marvel at his command of the score, both intellectually and musically. This goes for all the works on the disc. You won't be able to put this CD down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget all the negatives, 4 Jan 2003
By SH_ (UK) - See all my reviews
  
Some people like to hint because Kissin is so technically brilliant that he lacks feeling or emotional maturity - this is the CD that will definitely prove otherwise to even the most sceptical listeners. It's not Brendel; it's not Mitsuko; it is Kissin, their different and equal, playing with a combination of precision and passion that can be light and very powerful where required. The Bach is astonishing and he has converted me to Pictures at an Exhbition in a way that no one ever did before.

This man makes boring music sound brilliant - what more can you ask.
