Overview

Well-known and loved by the Greek public for many years now, Evgeny Kissin is one of those happy cases where an extremely talented child prodigy evolves into a mature artist of high prestige and undeniable value. His performances are always distinguished for their sweeping power and brilliance, but also for their contemplative inwardness, and have rightly made Kissin one of the most sought-after pianists of our time. He is equally at ease in the classic and the romantic repertoire, a fact amply demonstrated by the programme of his recital, which is dominated by Beethoven’s imposing penultimate Piano Sonata, together with Chopin’s demanding Grande Polonaise.
