[@sharegreats]

Absolutely smashing; Kissin played this publicly already when he was 12!! Now even better.

[@XDCrown]

Wow by far the best recording in my opinion! Well done.

[@user-xg4ot7yl4q]

agree. Def one of the best. i love both this version and Martha’s

[@ljiljanastanic9076]

Magnificent!I love so much Evgeny Kissin!

[@kusukusu9381]

現在一番好きなピアニスト。 相変わらずの素晴らしいピアノタッチで心の奥底に響く音色。何の不安もなく心地よく聴くことが出来て本当に大好きです。 この曲の演奏は神憑り的なアルゲリッチの演奏が群を抜いているとは思いますが、ソレに並んでいる気がしますし、アルゲリッチとはまた別のものを魅せてくれて本当に感動します。

[@jassonsw]

I love this performance. The finale is absolutely glittering.

[@EmptyVee00000]

Too slow.

[@aaaaa0104]

The best version I have ever heard.

[@organboi]

I know of no other piano concerto that is literally all over the keyboard for much of the duration. The amount of leaps are astounding. And the entire keyboard is utilized much of the time.

[@yasminagaouzi5084]

try listening to Prokofiev 2nd piano concerto

[@kanekokazuko7034]

まるで闘っているみたいに、凄すぎるとしか言えない自分が情けないけど、圧倒されてしまいました。素晴らしい演奏ご紹介有り難うございます。

[@jenniferthomas]

Love, love, love.

[@asdfsecond]

Definitely the best recording out there.

[@j.e.8442]

No cabe duda que Prokofiev fue un innovador. La imaginación, figurismo y destreza son evidentes en cada obra suya. Respecto a Kissin, hombre serio, enfocado y virtuoso en sus interpretaciones.

[@yowzephyr]

0:00 is a good place to start.

[@Palermo.340]

Beatiful piece and performance!

[@fatmadridibenaissa3513]

Beautiful !!! I really enjoyed this music.

[@zinniamilburn2980]

HERE IS THE AUTHENTIC KISSIN PLAYING THE BEST OF PROKOFIEV MUSIC. I SALUTE IN THE GENIUS OF THIS UNIQUE HUMAN BEING YET JUST AN ORDINARY HUMAN BEING AS WELL AS SPIRITUAL. THANK YOU FOR SHARING PROKOVIEV MUSIC TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. WITH GOD'S IN WHAT YOU DO FOR HIS PEOPLE THROUGH MUSIC.

[@jimmychoo1857]

Prokofiev is one of the absolute genius in music. Top 10

[@DannaYun]

Love love love!!! ❤

[@katspf8379]

amazing！！Kissin＆Ashkenazy are very very splendid!!!

[@djmotise]

What about the orchestral musicians?? They are the ones playing the music, not Ashkenazy.

[@alainnicolas9869]

Sous les doigts d’Evgeny Kissin, cette musique étincelle puis émeut, tour à tour, en révèlant toutes les facettes du génie de Prokofiev.

[@edoardo8365]

Incredible

[@matthewwaln1631]

superb!!!

[@Rachelkwy]

Stunning!

[@snowcarriagechengcheng-hun3454]

Thanks for uploading!

[@alessandro69bxl]

Don't know if it is the best recording ever but at least it equals the recording made by Marta Argherich...definetely one of the most balanced interpretations

[@Giovanni.Ricardi]

sublime

[@MegaCirse]

The expressive power of the sound architecture breaks with any form of transcription of the real to attach itself to the expression of an explosive universe. Colors and rhythm of these compositions are a language that gives life to exaltation

[@hsiyunwupiano]

Cool !

[@fredericchopin2453]

Much better than my piano concerto.

[@aaaaa0104]

Frédéric Chopin bahahaha.....

[@djmotise]

Dumb.

[@specialperson335]

@@djmotise very true, better than both chopin piano concertos even though i like the first one

[@josephlevine3045]

😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@fabriciovalvasori1121]

Genios absolutos!!!

[@exol.multistan8637]

KIssin is the best pianist i have ever heard play this concerto (on the first place Abduraimov)

[@775987mb]

+just a lover Yuja Wang / Abbado

[@exol.multistan8637]

yes omg

[@LuisMedina040199]

Martha Argerich / Previn.

[@budit4461]

Agreed. Kissin’s playing is infinitely richer and imaginative than Argerich’s or Yuja’s. Kissin brings so much context to the music, and didn’t play it like it’s just another finger exercise or a marathon olympics.

[@nicolasantony310]

Listen to Prokofiev own recording

[@K8Lilly]

Excellent!! ❤❤❤

[@canman5060]

Ashkenazy was the pianist in a recording of all the 5 concertos by Prokofiev.

[@SuperMusicizmylife]

Shostakovich piano concerto 2, same tonality although thematic construction is "military". Worth a listen.

[@JoaoSilva-dj6jy]

Amazing

[@jimmychoo1857]

How can Prokofiev be that great?

[@specialperson335]

really is remarkable!

[@mindakahn9964]

The Van Cliburn/ Kyrill Kondrachin album , Mercury 60s is excellent. It the first recording made in soviet Russia with an American artist.

[@zamyrabyrd]

Remarkable clarity, exciting but with depth, a frightfully difficult piece to play!

[@zamyrabyrd]

+Jonathan Comer is the sick stalker pervert Bjorling Singt and has been reported to youtube!

[@jonathancomer7069]

zamyrabyrd Zamy is really the only known deranged sick stalker on the net.

[@zamyrabyrd]

Jonathan Comer I don't take to slander very kindly. I sued a wealthy and powerful organization and won. Keep it up and you will be the squashed cockroach. It's lunchtime where you're living?

[@jonathancomer7069]

zamyrabyrd Truth isn't slander old lady. Please try to bring a lawsuit you old troll. there are yrs of evidence against you or more to the point proof that what I have to say regarding you is the absolute truth.

[@eduardorio23deabril]

maravilha de música

[@ggeonghe4371]

Don't know why but I love this 10:38

[@2009grifin1]

This is brilliant!

[@jasonpark2215]

So underrated

[@MakeUDawn]

Underrated? This performance even received the grammy award fyi.

[@djmotise]

Huh?

[@MuseDuCafe]

Off night? Especially in the last movement... IMO, one of the very best recorded performances of this in print is with Gary Graffman, Cleveland Symphony, George Szell.

[@onglinwei2418]

MuseDuCafe best recording is Prokofiev himself

[@cantkeepitin]

I also like the old Grafman and Prokofievs own record, even more Gilels- Kondrashin.

[@dan94884]

16:58 Casi la misma velocidad de Matsuev.......

[@oursititi]

Why the sound is so piano when it's classical music?

[@user-tx5mf6me8z]

2:30

[@wavelength9776]

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good ! Too bad he didn't record the 5 concertos !

[@halion9]

Nice, but my favorite version of Prokoviev piano 3 was at the London proms some years back, I think with Gergiev conducting the Kirov on a double bill with Shostskovich 4. A great concert, trawled radio 3 and youtube but looks like the recording has disappeared into thin air.

[@RobertOrgRobert]

There is definitely no spark between these two & just a little bit on the slow side !

[@prokaznik6871]

кисин отвратен

[@TheDfarhie]

Although I could never in my life play like this man, I still think I have heard better performances of 3rd Prokofiev Piano Concerto 3rd Movement... don't flame me, just an opinion.. too slow, too sonorous, not enough pedal, and a bit militaristic..

[@WilliamSlaght]

+David Farhie Versions you prefer, and that's fine. I too, but that is why taste exists; however, it can be considered a bit more complex. Anyway cheers.

[@VanoArts]

maybe you prefere these versions because they were the first versions you listend to and therefore you think it has to sound like this and not faster or slower... or you just became so used to the old versions that the new versions sounds weird to you

[@WilliamSlaght]

VanoArts I think the first one was played by Argerich actually.

[@VanoArts]

LinkBulletBill yeah also a great version, both are great versions! I saw Argerich last summer in Berlin and I am also a "fan" of her playing. I couldn't decide which version I prefer...

[@WilliamSlaght]

VanoArts I know a friend's friend who went to a masterclass with her. She asked one question about how to remember all this music, and Argerich basically replied saying that you have to see a piece as a story whether purely emotional, romantic, impressionistic, about beauty, a mix of some or all, and etc. other than just music, notes on a sheet, one needs to understand the story.

[@rpatricknabors]

way too much damper pedal
