Scriabin Etude op 8 no 12 by Evgeny kissin

My favourite presentation of this is piece.

[@chopin5440]

Horowitz, Kissin, Gilels, Cziffra, Richter, even Yundi Li are my favorites. I like them all for different reasons. Kissin is not playing to be compared to Horowitz. He is playing for his audience, and for the greater good of music. There are very few people out there in the world that can do what Kissin does. We are lucky to have him!

[@blonda.bacoviana]

Add Dinu Lipatti.

[@erichkusterer6339]

Insane awesome

[@eberhard9039]

And he hits better than Horowitz

[@bekhruzniyazov6600]

Also Alexei Sultanov is absolutely genious

[@sagar1992]

Not horowitz

[@MegaQuestionaire]

Okay it's official, I'm going to start learning this piece right now.

[@pablobear4241]

@Aleksandre Khundzakishvili It should take about another year for this piece. xD

[@pablobear4241]

@Aleksandre Khundzakishvili you have great fundamentals and probably have been practicing long time. I was implying the dude was a beginner. I am a novice piano player, only been playing since April. I learn music theory starting in November, it should take me 5-10 more years to play this depending on how fast my improvement is. I have good technique but I’m braindead sadly lol

[@horatio.5899]

@Peter Rabbit :00

[@SCRIABINIST]

@Aleksandre Khundzakishvili It wasn't ridiculously hard but it is still very hard. The second page where the new theme comes in is very hard to get it to sound good. But none the less a great piece to play

[@itsanthonyhere]

@Aleksandre Khundzakishvili can you make a video?

[@cpanati]

Kissin can do no wrong in my book. He's currently my fave. Has been for years now. The clarity of his playing is beautiful. I can hear every note.

[@rosemarysearle7093]

Certainly one of the best interpretations. Lovely 'pull back' at 47 seconds in ! Such passion and inspiration in such a short piece. Wish I was a good enough pianist to play this. Pure joy.

[@kanekokazuko7034]

Yes indeed🎵He is miracle🎵🎶

[@nomdutilisateur5724]

The pull back, omg :) 💕

[@lorenzley1324]

Hear it with Horowitz, and you'll be amazed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6uWhaSQqaaem7Msi=jdBfFDcSYXuMvjZ5

[@norahdealmeida5847]

It's remarkable his ardour to interpret this piece. How difficult must be to reach that level of humanity! We get so moved because Evgeny humanizes whatever he plays.

[@pmarq32]

Incredible genius-- both the composer and performer.

[@lorenzley1324]

I think this is the best performance of this magical piece of music. Absolute perfection. Brilliant.

[@Victoria5.]

Listen to Alexey Sultanov. Also interesting and beautiful

[@rodericwalter2862]

As someone who has actually performed this in public, I totally agree. Thanks for your comment.

[@nairamuradyan3087]

I absolutely agree ! It’s phenomenal 👏👏👏👏

[@Kim_JeongEun]

[@itsanthonyhere]

The faces he makes when he’s waiting for them to stop clapping. Can you imagine being in that concert hall, in the direct center, and it’s you telling THEM to be quiet?

[@yungseoulkim3490]

Kissin's tone and touch as a pianist is stunning as always. Very few come close.

[@marirazmadze3127]

I agree

[@SuperLeonardo40]

I will study 24 hours 7 days.U will see im able to get close.lol.Like 7 km at least.

[@Itemtotem]

Cziffra is the man though

[@MarcAmengual]

He is great but Horowitz owns this piece in my opinion.

[@arieblock2337]

horowitz plays it better lol

[@jimc1466]

Played perfectly as usual from this genius

[@mstalcup]

Up to this moment I have never considered any performance of this piece as clear, under control, and full of both transcendental fury and pathos as I have heard here. Bravo.

[@jimmymy1407]

Kissin always have his own way to play pieces which i like it! who agrees?:)

[@theunknown617]

Me

[@jasonmaslowski7088]

I agree. He can be like Argerich in her own way as she herself describes as: "aiming always to play the same piece differently everytime." So; therefore, a performance by these eccentric types can never be expected again and any "typical" labels applied to them in terms of style can only be appropriately, and so, accurately...when their performances collectively over years is considered as a unit. (In my opinion) by the way I am a piano lover. No virtuoso however and I cannot stand all the virtuoso wannabes on KZbin that make judgments about pianists as though they are equals among the likes of any virtuoso famous or not. Stuff like: "Pollini should throw in the towel in his old age" or "Argerich's prokofiev tempos shouldn't be seen as anything but questionable

[@Tonysmithmusic]

makes you realize what an absolute genius scriabin was. how can someone write something like this, let alone play it.

[@pamelaromero8282]

I cannot stop listening to it. A perfect piece for Kissin.

Great played by maestro kissin. I'm gonna see him this month in the concertgebouw in Amsterdam while he plays a selection of the Scriabin etudes op 8. I can't wait!!

[@danybaychere5949]

J'adore cette étude passionnée et émouvante ! Très belle interprétation.

[@pomelojones8963]

I came here after listening to Horowitz's performance. Both interpretations are wonderful, but they deliver different sentiments. Kissin's version feels like an eerie ocean with hidden peril and air fueling up before the coming of a storm, while Horowitz's performance.. is the storm. Screaming, intense, passionate, turbulent, and unforgiving. Engulfs you right from the start and reverberates long after it's over. I don't know how to explain, but I find Horowitz's version to be much more captivating.

[@chorizoalegre]

this play simply outperforms any previous interpretation, at anytime.... the strenght, the feeling.... awesome kissin

[@KathySanderatMoodMusic]

This guy is phenominal - I can't think of a better recording of this intense piece!!

A beautifullly clear and precise interpretation of Scriabin's notes. I hear Scriabin's screams throughout and yes: they are loud. and so much more.

[@hsmith1932]

What a vibrant performance of this magnificent etude for piano by Scriabin. Certainly one of my favourites. A truly virtuosic performance by Kissin of an incredibly difficult piano study! Harry E W Smith, E.D., A.D.M. Dip Health Couns

[@griseldaghilarducci9102]

[@griseldaghilarducci9102]

Kissins is one of my favourite pianist, and this Etude is marvellous I cant stoplistening THANKS A LOT!!!

[@zinniamilburn2980]

This interpretation of this piece is my favorite th e great dynamic of crescendo and decrescendo is just beautiful his playing is so so expressive it just blows me away. I did also listen to Van CLiburn.

[@user-김승우]

and again, that's just "your opinion"; who the hell are you to tell Zinnia this is right that is wrong? all these ignorants proclaim that what etude has to be like what, no. Etude is just an etude; a practice song. For interpretation? no, for skill improvements. Chopin etude, Scriabin, Liszt transcendental, Rachmaninoff's etude whatever. Etude is just a skill practicing series. No difference to Hanon. And it's all about showing off techniques. There are all these comments : "Hey I'm right you're wrong", or "this guy is the best" but oh, Concerto has to be performed like a concerto, etude has to be done like an etude and the last, etude is just a practice song. There is no "interpretation".

[@flouz2]

Zinnia Milburn

[@daviddebest3264]

stanford choi wow I never heard so much bullshit in one message. Every great etude is an amazing opportunity for musical interpretation. The name "etude" only says there's a certain technical difficulty to the piece. every Chopin etude, Skrjabin etude, Rachmaninoff etude, etc is way more than just technical development.... of course there's no right en wrong to an interpretation as long as one reads the score carefully. Kissin does it his way, Horowitz plays it differently. Which interpretation you like is up to you. For me Horowitz is THE king of this etude

[@vladimirgurin6163]

ty2 The funnies thing I’ve ever heard about performing concert etudes!

[@TheWynlyn]

Wow! This is exhilarating, full of passion he touches my heart when kissin plays this piece. He makes music. There is only one and only one Kissin who can turn on the world of his music.THANK YOU MR. KISSIN. toronto

[@TheWynlyn]

What a perfect play and expression that moves you. It make you feel every bone is affected.Just absolutely out of words to describe Kissin.

[@pianoman1857]

I'm always amazed by his sound, each note so clear

[@swanningaround]

No. I am not lieing. Let me explain. Each year the Vienna Boys' Choir used to visist. Local families put them up in their own houses. This was during the 1950s. It was different then. Horowitz came along at the same time, I think as a supporting act, if you can believe. Anyway he did play on our family piano at our house. I think that Kissin is blessed with greatness also. Isn't it wonderful to have someone like this playing now. I can hardly believe it.

[@luciannastase]

Best interpretation ever for this piece. It is like it should, molto viguroso and captures perfectly the dramatic moment.

[@monicadepaulabomfim6052]

My God, so expressive, magnificent interpretation. I found out about this study in Bertolucci's film and, since then, I haven't been able to stop listening to it. This pianist is extraordinary.

Probably the closest to how Scriabin played it. No hesitation. Not holding back.

Whenever pianists like Kissin play, I completely blank out and become lost in the music, until the audience starts clapping and bring me back to my senses.

[@philipkelly4628]

Still horowitz for me he is incomparable, but kissin certainly the best modern performance I've heard.

[@rexdxiv]

Unsurpassed! The best interpretation. Kissin understand this music deeply, feels it and makes us feel it, understand it, and experience the meaning of the music. This performance is superior to Rachmaninoff, Scriabin himself, Horowitz, and any one who is on KZbin. Kissin understands this music better than anyone else! This music requires amazing honesty that very few pianist have. I would love to hear Benjamin Grosvenor play this piece. We have begun a new golden age... How exciting!!!

[@AngeloDeAngelis748]

[@contravoice]

Totally agree. Horowitz does not present to much overwhelmed drama in sound, and his pedal use is much tender.

[@LiztheLark]

I play this piece myself and I've listened through those 3 timepoints for any discernable errors. It actually sounds just as the music sheets print it to be. Unless you consider a minor error to be tempo, more or less legato, crescendos and diminuendos, and various tonal inflections, subjective though they may be, I couldn't hear it. A perfectly shaped and performed piece beyond any shade of doubt.

Powerful and well executed. I prefer the lack of extreme dynamic contrasts in this interpretation, unlike that of Horowitz' interpretation.

[@jembartlett]

Out of all the composers, I find myself wishing Scriabin could have lived longer.

[@trevjr]

oh please, this is one of the best performances of this piece. very few can give the fire and dash it demands. scriabin plays it much different, but so does every pianist, that is what music is, not to repeat your teacher, but to give it your stamp. so many pianists attempt this, very few capture what is necessary. kissin is one of the few that gets it. i like horowitz too, so what, its not a contest. but dont say a great pianist like kissin is just notes, thats just crazy talk.

[@AdamCzarnowski]

Listen to Scriabin playing this (on KZbin) and see what is missing from both the Kissin and Horowitz performances. The composer's account transcends mere pianism.

[@swanningaround]

Kissin gives me hope for the future. He is the genuine article. Nearly everything is gimmickry and celebrity now. Here today and gone tomorrow. Kissin is like a musician from the golden age of the 1940s and 1950s. I hope he is the start of a new trend.
