CD Reviews

Kissin's first triumphant recital at Carnegie Hall!

davidsrx | Chicago, IL | 05/20/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I was amazed again at how incredible the young Kissin performs under "live" conditions. This is a wonderful CD in which the listener is privileged to listen to amazing pianistic virtuosity at its best. Kissin's performance of Liszt's "Rhapsody Espagnole" is filled with such passion and beauty that makes one want to visit Spain immediately. The fiendishly difficult Liszt Transcendental Etude no.10 in F#-minor is wonderfully played with such raw power and emotion that forces the listener to hear it again and again. The playful Schumann "Abegg Variations" reminds us just how young Kissin was then. This was an amazing CD with one flaw...Kissin's haphazard interpretation of Liszt's beautifully melodic "Liebestraume." I must admit I was highly disappointed with this particular performance of Liebestraume;however, the CD as a whole is worth purchasing. Get it now!"

Superb Evgeny performances from his teen years

Brother John | The O.C. | 09/27/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I haven't heard the full concert which contains Prokofiev selections - though his earlier Sony recording, LIVE from Tokoyo, does contain the 6th sonata, which he plays amazingly well - being apparently unedited at that! If anything, all will agree that Kissin is masterful technician. But his teen recordings were his best by far. (As he approaches his mid-30's I find little "musical" enthusiam for his art. Technically perfect thoujgh largely undynamic. Pretty loud, in fact.

Happily, on this disc here, the Schumann, is amongst the best modern performances available. Some have criticized the Liebestraum, as he does not oversentimentalize the melodies as others do. But the Rhapsody and Schumann song transcription are matchless."
