The best musical interpretation and artist performance ever. The cameraman's performance is also top quality.
@tobiolopainto3 жыл бұрын
I can't agree about the cameraman's "performance." It's bothersome, cut-aways synced with various bits of music. At one point when the camera has been focused on Kissin's left ear for a while, Kissin glares at the camera for a few seconds, as if to say, "Grow up!" When the Catacombs starts, the camera pulls all the way out into the auditorium as if to make a comparison between catacombs (claustrophobic) and the spaciousness of a large auditorium (lots of room...?) This is pretty stupid camera-work. Kissin's performance is good, but not as rhythmically incisive as Richter's famous performances of this piece. Less camera-moves, more pianist shots without all that in and out.

He's a little too timid when compared to the older generation of pianists. Kissin is one of the best pianists around. And he has some real stiff competition.

When Mr. Kissin first gained recognition, I was doubtful that he would last because his playing looked labored and musically he was one dimensional but I could not have been more wrong as I watched and heard him go from the talented pianist without much distinction to one of the finest pianist today musically, technically, interpretion, commitment. His performance of this work shows that an orchestra isn't required to create a broad range of color - a pianist of this caliber can color so beautifully and beautifully nuanced as Mr. Kissin demonstrates. Modeste Mussorgsky's inspired composition in the hands of a Master of the Piano. Hats off to both. I do love Ravel's Orchestration as it illuminates the work, is edifying and anyone playing this work at the Piano should know Ravel's orchestration then go to the piano and forget everything except the notes and musical directions of Mussorgsky.

To me, he's the best pianist on earth in his generation. He's technically flawless - I never heard even a single wrong note. And, he's able to make beautiful music even from the most difficult pieces: they just sound like he wants them to sound. That doesn't mean that I adore every of his interpretations. For example, the "great gate of kiev" I find a tiny, tiny bit too fast. Could be a tiny bit more relaxed and enjoyable. Also, I don't know many pieces from the vienna classics period played by him, I more focussed on his interpretations of romantic and post-romantic music.
