- Evgeny Kissin playing 8 of Chopin's Etudes from op. 10 and op. 25, live in Moscow in 2009. This recital was in memory of Yevgeny Svetlanov, and at the end Kissin made a very graceful touch by laying all the flowers at the foot of the enlarged photo of Svetlanov. Timing below:
00:00 - etude op. 10 no. 1
02:03 - etude op. 10 no. 2
03:27 - etude op. 10 no. 3
07:45 - etude op. 10 no. 4
09:53 - etude op. 10 no. 12 'Revolutionary'
12:44 - etude op. 25 no. 5
16:22 - etude op. 25 no. 6
18:31 - etude op. 25 no. 11
Евгений Кисин - Фредерик Шопен - Этюды - เพลง
Playing Chopin's etudes is like catching flies with chopsticks - man who can do that can do anything!
Except maybe some of the Godowski transcriptions of them, which are even more terrifying. (Kissin would have no trouble of course)
Wow not even mr miagi could do that
I can play Chopin etudes, does it really mean that i can do anything ? xD
No, they can't have social life
And trust me, no one is even close to this performance today.
I'd hate to be the thief who breaks into his house. Kissin can probably kill a man with the strength of his left pinky alone.

ddd...........
Someone told me that the pinky of a pianist must be capable of drilling through wood. I never reached that level though. I have practiced until my nails bled, but it was probably because I cut my nails too short.
@@Jen-Yueh_Hu who the fuck told you that?
@@Jen-Yueh_Hu I've been called a blockhead. Does that count? ;-)
As another said, “Listz breaks my fingers; Chopin breaks my heart.” Mr. Kissin when playing Chopin totally destroys my insides. Absolutely no one living plays Chopin better than Kissin and no one quite probably ever will in the future. He is truly a master. I can listen to this performance over and over again. His performance of what we now call ‘Wrong Note’ is nothing but masterful yet beautiful. The middle movement is heart wrenching. I have never heard it played with so much depth before and I most likely will never hear it like Mr. Kissin plays it unless I live to hear him live most notably in Houston. I am so glad this concert was recorded and can forever be heard on TH-cam.

Dmitry Shishkin is a close second.
Edit: I like the way Dmitry plays better than I like the way Kissin plays.

Incredible. Chopin would be very happy to hear this.
THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when an absolute, era-defining genius practices with such passion, efforts, persistence, and an unimaginable amount of time.
And an unimaginable amount of TALENT !!!!
I was gonna go with Tiffanys advice and practice harder and harder,,,,then u Norah,,lol,,,,put the missing element.Talent.iTS hard for so many to practice like crazy and never get there.Probably they were born determined by nature to play like that some day.....
Tiffany, I have NEVER heard anything like Kissin.. He is not of this world. He is an angel from G-d.. There is no one else like him either before him or after him.. Listening to his interpretations are so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes every time. I am in awe
that's absolutely true!

Incredible camera work too! I love Russian audiences. They truly listen to appreciate music. The gifts of many flower bouquets to an artist is such a beautiful gesture.
Rare to find in Singapore 😢
What amazes me as a life long non classically trained musician is just how many great classical pianists there are, all of whom can perform these Chopin etudes with almost equal skill. There will always be variations in styles and musicality and the " creme de la creme " will always stand apart, but so many others can also play these great pieces with great virtuosity.
It is a great tribute to all the music schools piano teachers , training and coaching that is available all over the world.
It is so sad that so many people who do not understand the piano do not realize what a great accomplishment it is to play any of these compositions without a mistake...to them the pianist may as well be running his fingers across a FLAT table...they have no idea how hard this all is and the complex fingering and chord structures and key signatures.
Also, most people do not realize what an accomplishment it is physically to just play a series of these great piano busters one after the other at a concert. I am a life long multi sport athlete who was strong and in great shape and yet when I finally learned to feebly play some of Chopin's compositions I came to realize how hard it was just to have the finger strength and endurance to play any one of these Chopin etudes or his other compositions let alone play a concert for an hour an a half.
One of the things that amazed me most about HOROWITZ is that even towards the end of life when he looked like a feeble old man and could barley walk and who even had trouble breathing...he could still play a concert for almost two hours and looked like he was hardly under any physical distress at all...AMAZING
Leon Maliniak It doesn’t matter if you are a sport athlete. Endurance is not about muscle strength, it’s about how you use these muscles most efficiently. If you use the muscles correctly you can play any Chopin etude with ease as many times in a row as you want to without getting tired at all.
Times change, we don't live in a world where the piano is at the centre of musical culture.
There really aren't that many people that can play Chopin's etudes with equal skill. I don't consider Kissin to be the best, he's more or less someone with inhuman technical prowess but lacks the interpretive depth. Regardless, not many could even play these etudes on his level.
Oh shut up. Don’t be a music snob
Dear Leon, I know what you mean about Vladimir Horowitz, the way he seemed physically frail , but still played long concerts. Could it be that his life has been all for music-making, it was such a large part of his being, that , along with minimal gestures/ movements, he was simply sharing his world of music with us.....I love the way he plays, with such a sensitive touch, and he's so modest when huge applause comes from the audience.😊
I think it's wonderful to see : I love it, and keep seeking out the videos of his concerts, for which many, many thanks.
🎼😊❤🎼🇬🇧😊🎼
The end of the concert when there are all these people that present flowers to Kissin, it's a scene of immense humanity were the audience feel the need to thank the Artist for all the deepest emotions he provided throughout the entire performance. And he gave everything he had to the audience, you can clearly see him totally exhausted! What a great Man and Artist he is! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
He is known to do more than an hour of encores! He is amazing, the best!
The world today is full of splendid virtuosi, but this young man has to be considered King of Kings and Lord of Lords in that well populated realm. I've studied these pieces for over half a century off and on, and have given a good account of several in my time, but never have I -- or any of my colleagues -- produced a performance on this exalted plane. Frankly I doubt very much if Chopin, himself, ever heard his etudes played with such authority, such passion, such loving attention to detail, such beautiful phrasing, such marvelous control of dynamics, and such consummate ease. This is beyond mastery. Truly Kissin's playing verges on the Divine.
+Hyramess Hiram's yes Kissing is phenomenal! I once met him at a small bakery in Boston. It was one of the best days of my life! I remember when we shook hands, I couldn't believe how loose it was. But he is my favorite pianist in the world hands down.
+Hyramess Hiramess I remember hearing Ashkenazy's live performances of the Chopin studies back in the 1960s and 1970s; absolutely amazing, and maybe even better than Kissin......
+Brian Bernstein what a useless piece of drivel and completely irrelevant to Kissin's stunning performance. Critics are failed artists, if you are even one
marceck1 now there's a sensible response...
+Hyramess Hiramess - YES, I COMPLETELY AGREE, AND CONSIDERING ONE OF THE GREAT MASTERS MADE IT TO THE RECORDING AGE, AND IN PARTICULAR A PIANO MASTER, RACHMANINOFF, AND KISSIN OUTPLAYS HIM, WE MAY BE GIFTED TO BE IN THE AGE OF THE GREATEST PIANIST TO WALK THE FACE OF THE EARTH, CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE WONDERED IF HE COULD EVEN OUTPLAY LISZT HIMSELF !!!
IT SEEMS GOD MADE THE GREAT COMPOSERS IN THE 1700's & 1800's AN NOW HE HAS MADE THE GREAT "PLAYER" TO PLAY THEM ALL !!!
AND NO ONE WHO REALLY KNOWS PIANO CAN DENY HIM !!!
(THOUGH I FIND IT STRANGE HE HASN'T TACKLED ANY ALKAN YET.........)
This is a master pianist. I have seen him in his younger days..He is dazzling!!
On point!!! the Russian born Evengy Kissin is a poised rare gifted talent. His evening jacket, bowtie finger manifeso must've been a treat to observe. This guy flawlessly pulled off a mozart piece, ( mozart concerto in D minor) when he was a mere ten year old.
@@lawrenceofarabia8456 He was miracle angel😇❤️❤️❤️
Hats off to Chopin for such beautiful music. Kudos to Kissin’s unrivaled interpretations right here! This is what you get when a romantic period genius meets a modern day genius.
Kissin's performance of these etudes is surely a landmark. It takes such physical stamina to play the piano with such passion and exactitude, yet he seems to do it so effortlessly. Bravo!
Fantastic playing - he's a phenomenal pianist.
Same
Right
One of the most philosophical and technically astounding pianist of our life time. His dedication to his music remained a pursuit of his amazing life. He dwells not on flambouyance but deep meaning of the music he played. Listen to his interviews and they echo what he is saying musically. Each word he utters was carefully chosen and so is his music.
I don’t know why but for the most part I prefer Kissin’s interpretations of pieces. He just plays with such emotion yet with stunning precision.
Imagine what Chopin must be feeling, in musical heaven, when he hears his compositions played with such perfection. He must be in total Bliss Bliss !!
I love his playing so much. So musical and passionate. Thank you Kissin! 💐
The extremely difficult fourth Etude (C sharp minor)- not even in my wildest dreams could I imagine it being played so passionately and yet so cleanly and perfectly ! Chopin was writing a letter to his mother when Liszt walked in an started playing one Etude after another - Chopin wrote to his mother : "I don't know what my pen is scribbling because Liszt is playing my etudes. I wish that I could steal from him the way to play my own Etudes." What greater tribute can there away be to Liszt's playing? Chopin would have said the same had he heard Kissin!
that piece is a damn hell
I totally agree. But play it slowly, at least. It is also Heaven :)
It's not too bad that one. It's maybe a medium level one out of all 24 Chopin etudes. And you don't need to play it Kissin speed ;) Regular speed is also very good and you have more space for musicality at a slower tempo.
The second is the hardest tbh
Exactly
Even Liszt would appreciate Kissin playing
That hand kiss tough 22:26
Yeah wtf happened there? 😂
Someone share it to pewds for cringe tuesday
FeelsWeirdMan
Bang Bang would have given that man his whole arm... 😉
hahahahahah I didn’t notice, it is so funny how kissin rejects that guy xD
He is truly a master of the piano
The speed and sustained power with which he despatches Op10 no 4 is just staggering. This is Kissin firing on all cylinders and it is a joy to watch.

I think 10-4 is so underrated. I love that Etude so much. 😍😍😍😍
@@henrydenner5448 actually, it’s quite overrated
Yes indeed🎵👏He is miracle‼️🎶🎵🎶

Don't doubt that that hair can play the piano better than most of us can.
:) Well actually...I'd rather see a natural guy like Kissin's hair, than all these creepy ones with lots of wax and gel. They think, they look smart. And what about these top knots. It looks ridiculous!
Que pena que los comentarios sean sobre pelo. Es un maravilloso pianista con enorme técnica y expresividad
Well said.
Not sure if its a complement or an insult 😂😂
I don't know, I thought he made it on purpose as a hairstyle!
It's 2 a.m but I'm going to practice piano, that all I want to do after see this, thanks kissin :)
all I can think of after watching him :)
No. 4 - OMG! I´ve NEVER heard it played like that! He´s giving it a new meaning!
sometimes, while watching or listening to kissin play, i start crying. not because i'm jealous of his ability (although, who wouldn't be?), but because i am in so much awe of his ability and the emotion and passion he puts into his playing that my own emotions can no longer be contained. he is a truly magnificent artist.
OpalFur щ
While I agree his playing is magnificent, I would bet money it's the Chopin/Rach/Liszt pieces themselves that turn on the face faucet.
I have such a hard time with this that I almost cannot listen to this music in public. I am not an attractive cry-baby.
Happens to me as well, I wonder what would happen if I saw him ?
@@selimkopuz2029 he would tell you "Pools closed"
caitgems1 LOL i mean nowadays i think he’s got a bit of a haircut
How nice to hear all the notes in the double thirds. I feel inspired by this performance of these etudes.
Awesome! I have several recordings of all Chopins Etudes, but none surpass these transcendental performances, where Kissin combines brilliant virtuosity with impeccable musicianship, that gives every note meaning.
That revolutionary etude is amazing
My beloved pianist...Evgeny perfect plays...the best on the world!
I agree👍He is miracle🎶
Revolutionary etude.
I am surprised the grand
didn't catch fire
Mark Rymanowski yep
Yes...it is not the Clown Lang
Yo why are those lang haters just everywhere??? He didnt even mentioned him!! Fuck off snobs
volyum ismyname Ikr
What he amazes me is the purity in his spirit which shines through his playing. So gifted!!
wow, I search info about him, today is his birthday.
Happy birthday Evgeny Kissin
12:31 Paranormal Activity.
Seriously tough, Kissin is one of the few Pianists that care of the integrity and beauty of the pieces they play, trying to make the Composer shine, not theirself (in this case succeding like no other).
That also.
terryss95 Beautifully said ! I totally agree !!
Salt JESUS CHRIST, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
terryss95 Lang Lang with his ridiculous facial expressions, you can tell he cares about his reputation more than the music
Salt Ah.... you meant in that sense, i see....
Well, indeed and we all know the results.
what isn't what makes this so amazing isn't the speed or the precision but the vision.
Величайший пианист! Техника исполнения филигранная!
That revolutionary is so good
What a performance - passion, talent and music height! Thank you Evgeny Kissin!
What a brilliant musician.
Wonderful performance in so many ways. This guy is also tremendously professional. I've heard him live. He did at least six encores. It was a thrilling night that no one wanted to end.
The point of his playing is never to make himself look impressive but to communicate the music. He also doesn't give half-assed performances like a diva.
Just listened to the first etude for the first time. Absolutely blown away by the composer. Kissin is also fantastic!
Me too this video is my first etude to hear it
I agree👍He is miracle and great👍😀
I love the first one as well.
Wow. Thank you. Wonderful.
Yes indeed He is miracle🎶😀
Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości. Dziękuję.
"Chopin is the greatest of them all, for with the piano alone he discovered everything." - Claude Debussy
The chromatic etude before Winter Wind sounds incredible. A true study indeed.
Е.Кисин -это музыкант с душой поэта !Именно поэтому,на мой взгляд,,его любят во всем мире.
Полностью согласна с Вами: именн музыкант с душой поэта, если бы еще и с умом философа- то это был бы уже Рихтер.Но и так сойдет!!!
09:53 Love it. Worked on this, but didn't finish after half way through. Love Kissn's crescendos. Better than everyone's. This gives the piece more excitement, and makes it more dramatic. Kissin is a genus to me. This is encouraging to FINISH it. This is my fav etude.
A prodigy for sure. Someone whom all the pianist, both upcoming and existing, look up to for inspiration. Thanks for sharing this with us. Beyond Bravo...
Потрясающе глубокое исполнение, каждый этюд крупное драматическое повествование. Много хороших исполнений, но так играет только один Е. Кисин. Спасибо за служение искусству!
Bravo.
Electrifying perfection. Marvellous. True, deep musicianship, and all about the music; never about himself.
Его исполнение всегда атмосферно, наполнено дыханием. Озвучено всё, до капли. Уникальный музыкант!
一瞬、早送りしているのかと思うほどのスピード、まさしく神の手🖐️‼️世界一のピアニストだと思います👍👍👍🎶🎶
確かに
Nothing can really be said other than this is absolutely epochal in every way. (!)
At 12:45 min, he plays the first part of that étude in such an expressive way I have never heard. And the middle part? So cantabile and tender!
Гуашей виы
Блестящее выступление! 👏🏻
Я под впечатлением! ❤️
Very moving performance, those etudes were spot on.
We are so blessed to have him in our generation! He is the master !! We all pale into insignificance when listening to this outrageous talent. Truly God was generous when he made him.
You can always tell when Kissin is playing. That's the beautiful thing about his music.
I see all these comments... he's the best/so-and-so is better etc; I'm a musician (not in this league I might add!).... can we not just celebrate that there are so many extraordinary virtuosi, rather than turn music into some kind of sport? I love them all, and am grateful to be able to listen (for free) to so many incredible players
Agreed
Well said, I agree completely
its not a sport. this particular guy plays all these etudes and doesnt attend competitions, rather h gives concerts because his interpretations are cleaner than of any human on this planet.
The difference between all these virtuoso masters is in the minor details. All of them can play Chopin or Rachmaninoff or others, but not all of them can deliver the masterful rendition.
Anyone have your own singularities, its in the minor details, anyone do it in you own style
Evgeny comme dans son prenom est un genie jamais entendu des interpretations aussi magnifiques j aime sa sensibilite sa douceur delicatesse sa force sa puissance musicale tout fabuleux talent incroyable
What a phenomenally gifted artist!
Great performance of Chopin´s etudes. I´m speechless, there is nothing to add. This music never gets old.
He's so amazing
i believe in the pantheon of great pianists of the present day, there is no one who deserves the moniker of genius more so than this man.
Oh my God 😳! I am speechless
Well ladies and gentlemen this man has just collected more flowers than I’ll ever have in a lifetime
Pure Genius! Greetings from Poland 🙂
i adore him,and his hair lol...he's one of the few maestros whose hands and body movements actually add to my enjoyment.
I love to watch Gould play. I could turn off the sound and enjoy him playing.
Reno Raider Gould is a legend, he was not only great pianist, he was a gorgeous speaker too
How can there be 210 people who apparently do not like Kissin's performance ! Unbelievable! Wonderful playing.v
All jealous losers in life...
Wow what talent, what absolute mastery of Chopin. !! I found myself clapping so loud at the end that my staff came to see if I was alright. His playing is heart-stoppingly beautiful. Bravo Kissin !!!!!

Evgeny Kissin is genius‼︎ Gentle and strong,sensitive and powerful…🌸
Brilliant.
10/4 is pure perfection, really can't recall a better rendition of it

I love 10-4 so much 😍😍😍
Me too✋ He is miracle🎶😍
Its glorious !! Magnificient !! The hairs are standing up on my arms with the absolute brilliance of his playing. What a genius !!!
This performance is on a completely different level, and I doubt if Chopin himself was able to bring out the expressions and intricacies of these Etudes as well as Kissin. This is a powerful, majestic and miraculous performance!
i don't normally comment, but this is one of the stupidest things i've ever read on youtube. kissin isn't even top 5 for performing chopin, and you think chopin HIMSELF is outclassed by kissin? christ dude
Crazy how he can play Op. 10 No. 1 and No. 2 back to back like that with barely any pause. I can play No. 1 at this tempo or slightly faster, but after that, going into the cramped No. 2 without any rest is just unthinkable to me. My hand just doesn't have the dexterity after 2 minutes of continuous stretching. This guy is insane.
Magnificent performance!
He lays waste to Opus 10 number 4. The audience applauds and he smiles. "Yeah, that was pretty decent."
Doubt that piano has ever had a workout like that before
Женя, одни становятся пианистами,а ты уже родился таковым.Понятно,что без труда и головной боли не становятся талантливыми и знаменитыми.Надо быть влюбленным в то дело,которому ты посвятил себя и у тебя это получилось!!!Браво!Брависсимо!!!
Ya, tremendous concert! Gorgeous music!! I especially love to see Mr. Kissin shake his head! All those “COOTIES” head for the hills! It’s always amazing to hear a pianist memorize all those notes! My only “claim-to-fame” when I was young (I’m 82 now) was playing & memorizing George Gershwin’s Rhapsody In Blue, all 32 pages! No problem then!!! “Ach du lieber, mein schatz” Evgeny!!!!!
A virtuoso is too small a word...Thank you, Evgeny!
He is my absolute favorite. I met him once at the airport in Fort Worth. I recognized him immediately and I got his autograph and he was so young. He was very polite. His senior male escort you did not appreciate my attention to him. Lol but I did appreciate his protective nature toward him as was his job.
Bravo!
Wonderful.
Only those of us who have tried to perform some of these know how difficult the task is and how rare people like Kissin are. What is Evgeny like in life? Have you met him?
Awesome Kissin. There is nobody quite like this today, folks, He has a leading edge with his finger work.
Undoubtedly skilful and abundant in emotion, really love this performance, hats off
Спасибо большое за Шопена в исполнении Кисина!это одно целое- интерпретация и звук!
Perfect!!!!!! Magic!!!!!!!!
Etude op.25 no.5 is underrated. The piece is just so perfect. It makes me tear up almost every time.
i totally agree with the comment of Hyramess HIRAMESS it is absolutely an accurate description of Evgeny Kissin performance of his favorite composer Chopin he is just incredible genius and virtuoso of a pianist.
The second etude is one of the most demanding workouts for the fourth and fith fingers. I am NOT dazzled by the fact that he is Eggeny Kissin, but I must say once again that his performance was limpid and flawless. He has an awesome teachnique couple with the genuine and deep musicianship. An enviable combination!
would "crisp" be a better description than "limpid"?
I love Kissin's thought provoking interpretations. He has a gorgeous touch on the piano.. He just wafts me away, every time I hear him !
Me too ‼️😉👍🎶❤️He is
miracle and great👍😀
OMG! FANTASTIC!
It always makes me smile the level of criticism these great men receive. Can we not just embrace it and enjoy the music? This music is alive so what if you hear the odd mistake these performers absolutely love this music and I think we're all blessed to be able to witness such greatness...just my ten pence worth
God bless you for this comment
What an artist. I am so grateful humanity has been able to record his music basically from childbirth throughout his entire life.
Thank you so much for uploading this awesome performance! He is absolutely brilliant, an impeccable thecnique and deep emotional understanding of the great genius of Chopin! Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Comme ce sont des études, on voit que sa technique est superlative. Mais son expression, ça c'est magnifique. Souple, intense, profonde, vigoureuse.
one of the great play i ever seen....!!!
