After Alban Berg’s incredibly expressive Piano sonata, the rhythmic vitality and light-footedness of Gershwin’s Three Preludes for Piano with their vibes of Charleston, blues and foxtrot are standing next to the meditative nature of three of Chopin’s Impromptus and a brooding Nocturne. Kissin combined them most intriguingly with pieces of Russian composer Tikhon Khrennikov, showing the surprisingly modernist nature of his early compositions.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA most memorable programme culminates in three encores containing Debussy’s “Clair de lun”, a composition of Kissin himself and one of Mendelssohn’s “Lieder ohne Worte”.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEvgeny Kissin is dedicating both the concert and the album to his beloved teacher\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnna Pavlovna Kantor, who passed away days before the concert: “She was my only piano teacher, and everything I am able to do on the piano I owe to her.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Evgeny Kissin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54671923642652,"sku":"4862990","price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0513\/4108\/files\/evgeny-kissin-the-salzburg-recital-2cd.jpg?v=1791440828","url":"https:\/\/shop.umusic.com.au\/products\/evgeny-kissin-the-salzburg-recital-2cd","provider":"uMusic Shop Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
