[@TheWynlyn]

nothing more to comment but just enjoy and take advantage that this is posted in the you tube.Thank you for all EVGENY KISSIN PERFORMANCE it is a real gift to the world to hear this unique musician and artist like him. THANK YOU.

The music already has so much energy written in it, but Kissin injects and blows energy in every phrase, every musical statement, and what you get is the sensation that the music glows and never really flattens out at any point. The accents are sharp, emphatic, and incisive. There is always a round, orotund quality to the way he strikes notes and an urgency in bringing musical contrasts together, which requires a physical and mental stamina that makes his piano playing so distinctive and colorful to listen to.

Great description of Kissin's playing!

[@Caroline1261]

He is my favorite pianist right now. His interpretation of Beethoven, Rachmaninov and Chopin are beautiful!

[@carlosgonzalezalatorre8132]

Kissin sin duda el mejor pianista de su generación e incluso ya, de los mejores de la historia !!!

[@Caroline1261]

@@carlosgonzalezalatorre8132 Estoy de acuerdo contigo. Amo a Kissin, ¡qué pianista tan increíble!

[@abigailsnarr3994]

Thank you for putting all these up! This is real music.

[@platform84]

Great! Everytime! Beethoven kicks ass all the time Ilisten to it!

[@Caroline1261]

I have the CD of this. I've always LOVE Kissin. What a master!

[@myAutoGen]

This concerto sounds like a better version of Mozart. And on top of that it has the injections of venom and passion that only Beethoven is capable of. Brilliant.

[@carlosbashuertas]

ferocel Displaying arrogance seems to be another trend in yt! I see your point and I also see Autogen's. Be tolerant.

[@myAutoGen]

ferocel You made 2 points. 1) 'entirely different composer'. This does not in any way contradict this piece being similar in style to Mozart but better. 2) 'no Mozart -> no this piece'. Probably correct. I never suggested otherwise. Also, I'm not suggesting that this piece was more important to the overall evolution of classical music. If you want to be condemning and self-righteous, make sure you are really clear on what the truth is.

[@carlosbashuertas]

My point doesn't need any further explanation nor defense.

[@carlosbashuertas]

You did ask for it, music such as Beethoven's doesn't need arrogant trolls like you.

[@mvaurelio]

myAutoGen, thanks for the comments! I just wanted to say that the only idea in your comment I don't agree with is the "better" (version of Mozart). I don't think we can make ranks, it would be useless dealing with these two geniuses. Just think about the slow movement of K595 and you won't be able to say who is better than who... :)

[@connorsung2975]

So beautiful how kissin plays!

[@古哥國志]

Excellent

[@yowzephyr]

0:00 is a good place to start.

[@mwong987]

Thanks alot, I didn't know that. I almost always start at 5:00. I just realized that the video is actually longer, there is more video, if I start earlier, like 2:00 or 1:00. But starting at 0:00 blew my mind because that's 5 more minutes of music that I never knew about.

[@mlbpigaming886]

Like every beethoven piece ever

[@carlosbashuertas]

Every fan of Beethoven knows that in his early (first of three) period he was influenced by Haydn and Mozart. This concerto belongs to that period. Jump to the 3rd Concerto and you'll see the difference.

[@mlbpigaming886]

The 3rd and 5th are my favorite

[@Caroline1261]

You mean first of five? Beethoven wrote 5 concertos for piano and orchestra, no?

[@hjo4104]

The third is still very classical..., the first concerto that shows noticeable romantic qualities is the fourth.

[@sniprsprimordium5625]

I do not usually like third movements, but this one is just wow.

[@Caroline1261]

You don't like the 3rd movement of Beethoven's moonlight sonata? kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYTXnapvZ82Ki8k

[@VRichardsn]

Sounds so... Beethoven!

[@lucianasalles7272]

Oiii tudo bem com voce?

[@MrKurtcko]

Epic

Those 7 people missed the liked button

[@mwong987]

Why is it that you can't tolerate if somebody doesn't like what you like?

[@nicholasfox966]

With all of the magisterial, buoyant, effervescent, characteristic recordings of this work already available, why on Earth was this bland, faceless run-through released?

[@nottinghillad]

Sounds more like Haydn. Mozart was in a class of his own

[@hansschonfelder735]

In the last movement, a speed record that only Kathia Buniatishvili can keep up with.

[@camillachiga2893]

Third movement isn’t a running race and in this music it’s not speed that matters
