Hear Me Out - An Interview With Evgeny Kissin

Hear Me Out
Dr. Max Kohn, Psychoanalyst from Paris,
Talks with his Guests.
An Interview With Evgeny Kissin,
World famous classical pianist

[@oneginee]

His playing at the end of Liszt La Campanela is stupendous inhumanly virtuosic like only russian school can do. This is not possible, the way he played.

[@vanesaindij]

He didn't learn in formal music school

[@xlyal8908]

@@vanesaindij And what is Gnessin Music School suppose to be?

[@archerponty5289]

He speaks English, French Russian and Yiddish amd still finds time to play the piano!

[@andrewjmesser]

Didn't you watch the interview? He speaks piano... 😉

[@tashkent42]

Without ever having learned about Yiddish, as a german I can understand so insanely much of that

[@oneginee]

that interview sounded a lot like a great psychoanalyst session actually. lol.

[@garfreed]

I wish I had a Yiddish-speaking psychoanalyst.

[@vanesaindij]

It was the Freud's mamme tongue, too

[@TheCaithleen]

What a wonderful listener,the true makings of a good interview.....Bravo

[@CHEAPESTSoftware]

It Sounds Like Deutsch.. I can recognize some same pronunciations

[@danialbrown4417]

There he is!!! Idc what he says... I will always love kissin nerd

[@oneginee]

I think it's sweat. I think if you calculate the amount of energy required to physically move these keys the way he did, it is superhuman. Not surprising his body temperature must have shoot up.

[@quaver1239]

And that was at the Proms during one of the hottest August months on record! No cooling system in British concert halls! Poor guy. The back of his jacket was wet through.

[@mrearlygold]

I've got to see this fellow in person and by the looks of his schedule a short trip across the atlantic to the land of NON gmo's seems to be appropriate. Good food, great music, my wife by my side, who could ask for more?

[@slsherwoodwells]

Danke schon-Max Kohn!!-for bringing this so vital side of Evgeny Kissin to us-Thankyou, Thankyou!!!!!!!!

[@klauskeller7617]

The man has a beautiful voice. I would like to hear audio books read by Kissin in Yiddish. Maybe short stories or something with a lot of yiddish humor.

[@kgiven100]

Great talk, Evgeny is so authentic here indeed))))))))))))))

[@cartolaia5233]

he also speaks french...

[@Babsie4826]

what language is he speaking? I think he is the best at what he does.

[@SimonTime]

Wonderful that Kissin does not deny his cultural heritage and openly talks about his jewishness. Of course being so musical learning languages would come easy to him. Remember Arthur Rubinstein? Also spoke fluently many languages. What a remarkable person Kissin is. Touched and blessed by the gods. Elizabeth

[@jasmine543210]

It's fascinating listening to Yiddish, when you have a good grasp of German!

[@microsoftice6498]

hat was von deutsch finde ich

[@erpollock]

I had no idea Evgeny Kissin spoke Yiddish! Well done. He heard his grandparents speaking Yiddish as a secret language and picked it up. Very interesting. And he learned to read Yiddish. Notice the look of admiration of the Forwards interviewer. No one of 52 knows Yiddish nowadays. He is 52 now. Fascinating. Kissin is obviously brilliant at more than music.

[@Forverts]

Yiddish!!!!!!

[@worras2007]

If you know German, Yiddish is almost the same - like simplified German written in Hebrew letters (to put it roughly).

[@vanesaindij]

80% of German… and a mix of others… and a VERY different mind

[@haroldgoodman130]

Yiddish is not German. It is a separate language with separate grammar, many vocabulary differences and a Jewish soul/heart. And, also, it is older than current German.

[@snaaptaker]

Oy, gewalt!!! :-))

[@slsherwoodwells]

So sorry, Respectfully, Dr. Max Kohn-Danke!!

[@aptsys]

He has an advantage though...

or gentile girl. Based on his answer to the last question I think he has a open mind about that.

[@crowdmaker]

Sounds like he got a little unstuck around the end. But very refined take on the piece. Not my favorite, but I rather liked it.

[@garfreed]

An alte geschichte. Isn't it always an old story?

[@jay241942]

If you play this backwards, it says the devil made me do it, among other things

[@beatlessteve1010]

I have the same nostalgia hearing my Buby and Zeida speaking yiddish

[@maestros17]

german, but he speak with heavy russian accent

[@piano0b]

lol i speak german and understand most of it. what an irony

[@sergeygodun2173]

Warum klingt diese Sprache genauso wie Deutsch????????

[@Mr1329932]

how the hell did you get evgeny kissin in your house?

[@skybart]

It's obviously just a dialect of German. And much easier to understand than, for instance, Swiss German. Only word I'd never heard before was "khatoshem" for "months," but maybe that wasn't the proper Yiddish word.

[@andrewlenihan6548]

“Khoydesh” is a month. ‘Khadoshim” is “months”

[@worras2007]

Its vocabulary is some 95 per cent German. With simplified German language grammar rules. And written in Jewish alphabet which is also 95 per cent similar to Hebrew (also simplified). And no wonder why Polish accent is here - Yddish was mostly used in the territory of Poland, West Ukraine, Lithuania. It is like "Esperanto" for the East European Jews..

[@manolete340]

why he makes that pause when he is speaking ? it seems to be because he can't find the words to say what he is thinking or it't because of his try to remember ?

[@mosichat]

He's a "pauser" even in his mother tongue.

[@oneginee]

If this is Yiddish then it sounds 95% german. That explains a lot about many things

[@renedupont1953]

What you say is completely wrong.

[@rosemarie2841]

🙏🎶😊🇩🇪

[@Dan474834]

Speaks rather loud doesn't he?

[@Crosswindhater]

Das ist gut wenn man deutsch kann kann man auch das verstehn was die sagen.

He is genius in everything

[@fortepianowalter]

Excuse me but what language is this???

[@vanesaindij]

Yiddish

[@TheCaithleen]

Genius

[@knallfroosch]

God it is really confused because this is not German but it basically it is all German Dialects, Swiss, Dutch and Swedish combined. I am from Austria but I understand everything xD

[@Sandra_dV]

I agree with you. I speak German and can understand nearly everything!

[@vanjavanja3905]

KNALLFROOSCH WELCHE SPRACHE SPRICHT ER???

[@vanesaindij]

Yiddish isn't a Dialect, is a Language

[@golosistiny8639]

To skybart:Not "khatoshem", but "khadoshim"; it IS a proper Yiddish word of Hebrew origin (singular is "khoydesh").And what about all the other words of non-German origin used in this interview: "sholem-aleykhem - aleykhem-sholem" (how do you do), "avade" (of course), "lemoshl" (for example), "mishpokhe" (family), "bobe" (grandmother), "zeyde" (grandfather), "zikhroynom livrokhe" (blessed be their memory), "dorem" (south), "tsad" (side), "beshas" (during), "dache" (country house), "a sakh" (a lot), "dor" (generation), "tsi" (or), "afile" (even), "yarid" (fair), "oysyes" (letters), "oyfn" (manner), "alef-beys" (alphabet), "sof-kol-sof" (finally), "matone" (gift), "shayekh" (concerning), "take" (precisely)?Yiddish is not "just a dialect of German", but a separate language. 70% of its words are of German origin, 20% - of Hebrew origin and 10% - of Slavic origin. And it's written in the Hebrew alphabet.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT

[@unterdemweiden]

don't exaggerate... almost each German speaks German, English and a kind of German dialect like this Yiddish, some German also speak French... so that is nothing for people from the old continent...

I thought the thumbnail was Borat

[@stefanbernhard2710]

lmao. The grey jacket. He let his hair grow.

[@MrAndieMusik]

There's far too much uninteresting talk about Yiddish language. I would have much preferred speaking about music, piano pieces and composers.

[@vanesaindij]

But it is published by Forverts

[@SevenUpHub]

This is german

[@boobtuber06]

my my, It is... gentile with 4 years of German here. In fact it sounds like German with a Polish accent.
