Bro ,he(kissin) is literally the most talented and famous pianist of the century. And for me also the most lege artis musician

[@sacrilegiousboi978]

RIP Kissin’s afro :(

I was 15 when I felt the need to learn piano. But it felt like it was too late and was about to forego learning it. I heard and watched this piece being played. Decision was made. Ive been playing the piano for 7 years now and am so glad for it. Its never too late to learn an instrument. Time will still pass. But you can have a beautiful skill to practice on for life. Just starting is the critical decision.

[@adelamr04]

That's pretty much exactly me right now.

Actually thank you very much, that was pretty inspiring.

Prokofiev himself couldn’t play it a better way

[@Ianthe22]

Prokofiev's music is so incredible. It's is so current that one could put it directly into a FF game or a movie. I dont think one could listen to this performance wihout feeling anything.

[@herobrine1847]

I just love this piano version of the orchestral score. and evgeny kissin is fabulous

Perfect dotted rhythms!! Such an orchestral sound, too.

No matter why , he's my favorite pianist + idol , loved it.

[@НатальяДорохова-з5б]

What an incredible interpretation - it's depth, brightness of sound and technical perfection. . .

[@kaikei1013]

I never liked this piece on the piano until I saw Kissin's interpretation. He makes it sound like it should: very powerful.

[@kasiyaya]

OMG it's absolutely stunning perfomance!

[@cl1974i34]

Kissin is the absolutely best pianist alive, and the best who ever has been at home on this blue planet. So clear is his superiority that even other top pianists sure must be more than just impressed to listen to him, if they have that inner power to admit he is the one.

[@mliujoyfulpiano]

I think I m more n more falling in love with Kissin! A TRUE artist!!! Love you

[@dilay3422]

Love the way he feels amazed at every touch of his fingers as if he is not a virtuoso.

[@Clementine_xvii]

I aspire to be in his level of mastery one day , so powerful

[@kenyareed897]

this will always be in my top 3 favorites! It’s so gorgeous wow i’m just awestruck every time I hear this beautiful piece ugh

[@SequoiaJohn]

Kissin's ability, agility and confidence along with his execution and intuitiveness are admirable. He is admirable in front of a camera.

[@mercuryila87]

Listening to Kissin without watching him is a sin 😂❤

[@InvestingForTomorrow24]

Simply Fabulous. The only labor intensive piece from Romeo and Juliet there is time left to enjoy learning how to play.

[@SyonNathanAaronAstinHewson]

I learn piano from five years old to 11 years old I loved 🥰 it was my relaxation but I liked playing my music and not what my tutor wanted me to play so my mum and dad felt I had gone about as far as I could go with the lessons so then I was very happy with my own music 🎼

[@Assassunn]

I don't understand, shouldn't the title of the piece be "Dance of the knights" ?

[@rtf46]

I think you are right. Romeo and Juliet is the ballet, Dance of the Knights is this single piece!

[@universalbriefkasten6819]

The complete title of this piece would correctly be: Prokoviev: Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64, Act 1: No. 13, Dance of the Knights You're welcome.

[@klarisdavis5486]

Wait wait wait... I play this and I thought the arrangement for piano by Prokofiev is called "The Montagues and Capulets"

[@Assassunn]

Klaris Davis it's the second title haha, maybe Montague and capulets is the title for the piece within the ballet, and dance of the knights a more general title for the piece

[@kenyareed897]

wow definitely thought it was Montagues and the Capulets

[@miac7858]

Stunning performance!! Played with such preciseness and passion! Wow!🎉

It's so touching. Perfect rhythmic precision and ostinato!

[@paulwhetstone0473]

Bravissimo! Best solo performance I’ve heard yet of this piece.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

No performance is as interesting ANA intriguing and captivating as his performance

[@bulatus]

I watched probably 10+ versions on piano for this piece, and I must say no one is even close to Kissin in precision and clarity of the sound. I am not a musician myself and might be wrong, but my intuition says he is the best in the business right now.

[@leonidas4998]

The crispness of the left hand from 1:56 gives me chills

[@cocococotube]

What a contrast between a perfect glory and sentient sound! Well done.

[@andrewlowther9819]

What a remarkable piece of art. I have never heard that before.

[@RobBBB]

Amazing. Totally the best living pianist

[@iGavinProductions]

IMAGINE HIS HAIR ON FIRE, AS WELL AS HIM WEARING A FLAMBOYANT CRIMSON TUXEDO WHILST PLAYING THIS. IS THERE ANYTHING MORE POSSIBLY EUPHORIC!!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

[@josimaraires]

Great performance! I had the pleasure to watch the Royal Scottish Orchestra playing Prokofiev in Edinburgh end watching this video I could see the same intensity.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

There are so many critics out there; how could you not watch this and think, Evgeny is genius. I do.

[@edwardkoo0911]

Great interpretation and the best execution on the piano for this incredibly difficult piece!👍

[@krashd]

Most classical folk like to harp on about all of the German 'greats' but they all just made fluffy, lovey-dovey melodies compared to the likes of Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky and my boy Prokofiev here. Russian classical music was raw and alive, it was like the heavy metal of the time. I thank David Braben and Elite for introducing me to Night on Bald Mountain and a host of Russian greats.

[@kaylanis679]

What about Brahms?

[@everavila6832]

Best pianist of the last 50 years.

[@Ariadne7710]

The complete piece is an orchestral suite called "Romeo and Juliet" which is normally performed as a ballet. Here Kissin is playing an adaptation for piano of the movement called Montagues and Capulets.

[@Luisekko]

every time i hear this song its like listening to a really good story.

[@Equilibriumization]

В его исполнении всё звучит потрясающе.

[@Hephasto]

Reading reactions on this…. Im obsessed with this song. I think his performance is one of the best that i ve heard. Only the audio quality on YT is poor. Who can tell me how i can get hold of the best combination of performance en audio quality? Not expecting it for free. Just a name of piano player, and where to get it

He has an unusual technique where he curls unused fingers up towards his palm.

[@yuehan6711]

Jim1971a yep noticed that

[@Moucheron1990]

Not very conventional but my god does it ever work for him. He's played like that since he was a toddler.

[@Simon-fy6jn]

Prob just to remove tension in the fingers, I mean he’s one of if not the best pianist alive right now, so I would say his technique works fine for him

This is called "Dance of the Knights". The Romeo and Juliet theme was written by Tchaikovsky.

[@conorhughes1]

It's also from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet suit

[@marilou2939]

Eu admiro uma boa musica....e esta á fantastico, muito eletrizante.

[@alicekirby5305]

OMG, how can he be so incredible?

[@mdf96]

Perfect execution. Kissin makes me hear an actual orchestra playing.

[@bery237]

It´s so visible that he really enjoys this playing, especially this piece is very powerful and I feel a lot of different feelings during playing... It´s my favourite now. I was just a little bit surprised that he wasn´t using pedal very much in the central part (the quiet and calm one). :) It´s a pity that the video isn´t till the end of it.

[@beatrusa]

sublime playing!!
