Book Evgeny Kissin
Evgeny Kissin is a Moscow-born concert pianist and composer with two Grammy Awards among twelve nominations, winning for a solo recital of Scriabin, Medtner and Stravinsky and for his recording of Prokofiev's Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3. Famous first as a child prodigy, he was sixteen when he first played in Western Europe, at the Berlin Festival, and his London debut with the London Symphony Orchestra under Valery Gergiev in 1988. That December he joined Herbert von Karajan for Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto at the Berlin Philharmonic's internationally broadcast New Year's Eve concert, repeating it at the Salzburg Easter Festival. In 1990 he made his North American debut performing both Chopin concertos with the New York Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta and opened Carnegie Hall's centennial season with its first piano recital. The Proms in London had never hosted a solo piano recital until his in 1997. He is celebrated for his interpretations of Schubert, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Mussorgsky and Beethoven. His honors include the Herbert von Karajan Music Prize, Echo Klassik Instrumentalist of the Year and a honorary doctorate from the University of Hong Kong, and he holds British and Israeli citizenship.
