Evgeny Kissin – The Salzburg Recital

As a regular guest of the Salzburg Festival, Evgeny Kissin impressing once more with the maturity and brilliance of his playing in his solo recital.

Evgeny Kissin appeared in Salzburg with compositions of the late Romantic and classical modern periods in the Großes Festspielhaus. Since his debut in 1987, the pianist has been a welcome guest at this festival, impressing with the maturity and brilliance of his playing. Kissin loves the dialogue with the audience and the direct power of the concert moment. With his solo recital, Evgeny Kissin presents the audience with a truly remarkable programme, a musical offering which inspires throughout, until the very last note fades away: “In a selection of encores, Kissin delivers the B-flat minor scherzo like a momentous pronouncement, alongside works by Debussy and Mendelssohn, as well as an original composition - he pulls them out of his sleeve, as impulsive and refined as if the concert had just begun.” (Salzburger Nachrichten)
