Heavy and surprisingly fast step

Here is a musician who presents his view of this work. Radical, uncompromising, he gives meaning to every chord and every note, and above all, he takes the composer's instructions to “express” literally. In the second movement he uses a rapid and astonishing delivery. He interprets the “sweetness” with captivating tenderness and always brings to mind Schubert.

With Frédéric Chopin he changed his musical language. This is clearly where he is at home. In the Nocturne in F sharp minor, Op. 48/2, he carefully emphasizes every note. Then there is the exciting Fantasy in F minor, Op. 49, where he emphasizes the darkness of this composition, which he walks through as if with heavy steps. With a kind of unearthly intensity, he repeatedly makes the sounds rise, then returns to a strange fragility.

In Johannes Brahms's “Four Poems”, Op. 10, based on a horror story, Kissin emphasizes the ghostly drama with intensity. In Sergei Prokofiev's Second Piano Sonata in D Minor, Op. 14, he displays his virtuosity with astonishing fury and sends the audience into ecstasy. The audience applauds his three encores, Chopin, Prokofiev and Brahms's waltz, which invites you to immerse yourself.
