　人們也許預期一個三十出頭的鋼琴家年少氣盛火花四濺而不是像Kissin在這裏表現的老練、心思細密語重心長。無法，Kissin是早慧天才。

　Kissin將四首即興曲巧妙地安插在四首波蘭舞曲中間，氣氛上的對比與緩衝很理想。俄國鋼琴家演繹蕭邦向來有一手，Kissin對節奏感的掌握使得樂曲的架構脈絡分明。比起空有超級技巧而沒腦的同輩，Kissin的技巧完全為音樂服務。聽第一、第二波蘭舞曲的悲傷音色，第二號的烏雲密佈場面，我們知道一位對音樂有特別體會的成熟音樂家在演奏。如果某些段落不像你聽慣的版本的流暢，音色又是不尋常地渾厚，造句的呼吸比你習慣了的寬廣一些，佈局比較交響化一點，因為，這是Kissin。要快速要均勻，要躍動彈跳，本碟亦不缺乏例子，重要的是Kissin的構思是整體性的，方向感明晰。這張是現場音樂會實況CD

1971年生於莫斯科的Kissin，6歲便入讀音樂學校接受正統訓練，11歲便作個人演奏。這張大碟便是Kissin於13歲時在莫斯科大會堂表演時的錄音大碟。

Biography

Evgeny Kissin was born in Moscow in 1971. His mother was a pianist, his father an engineer who abandoned his career when the family moved to the West in 1992. He has an elder sister. Kissin began playing the piano by ear at the age of two(!). At six, he entered Moscow Gnessin School of Music for Gifted Children where he studied with Anna Pavlovna Kantor. He came to international attention in 1984 when, at the age of 12, he performed the two Chopin piano concertos in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory with the Moscow State Philharmonic under the direction of Dmitri Kitaenko. In 1987, he made his West European debut at the Berlin Festival. His performance of Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic was a triumph. His subsequent European tour with the Moscow Virtuosi and Vladimir Spivakov was sold out. In 1990, he gave his debut in the USA, with a the two Chopin concertos with the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Zubin Metha. Ten days later, he shone in the debut recital to open Carnegie Hall's centenary season. In 1995, he became the youngest-ever Musical America Instrumentalist of the Year. In 1997, he received the prestigious Triumph Award for Excellence for his contribution to Russia's Culture. In 1997, he was the first pianist to give a solo recital at the BBC Proms. Kissin only plays 60 concerts a year. Therefore, each concert is an event for him - and for the public, since all are sold out. In an interview, Kissin said that he feels closest to pianist Yakov Flier (1912-1978): He may not be one of the greatest musicians, but Kissin listens to his recordings and feels close to him. Kissin is not only an outstanding performer and improviser, but also a composer.

Several years ago, Anna Kantor moved in to live with Evgeny, his sister and parents.

Chopin CD

As Harris Goldsmith explains in the CDs booklet, the Twenty-Four Preludes op. 28 were composed between 1836 and 1839, the B-Flat Minor Sonata op. 35 in 1839 and the A-Flat Polonaise op. 53 in 1842. The three works represent Chopin's genius at its zenith. The Preludes pay tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Chopin was an admirer of the German composer and deeply immersed in the music of Bach when he composed the Preludes. He considered Bach "the best school; no one will ever create a better... Without Bach, you cannot have freedom in your fingers nor a clear or beautiful tone." Chopin's preludes are "rather a collection of tone poems" than preludes, wrote the noted English musicologist Arthur Hedley. They were written as a cycle but the individual components are hugely diverse and bear no motivic connections to one another.

The Sonata no. 2 op. 35 has a first dramatic movement, a demonic scherzo, the famous "funeral march" and a presto finale. Goldsmith calls the melodic, harmonic and motivic edifice "almost Beethovenian in their stringent mastery". Chopin's mazurkas and polonaises are the expression of his "fierce pride and nationalism". Although he had a French father and lived in Paris from 1831, he never stopped loving his native Poland. The Polonaise op. 53 is one of the most popular denizens in all classical music. Technical brilliance is needed to perform it.

Evgeny Kissin is at ease with the early master of Romantic music inspired by national idioms. Chopin's compositions have, despite heroic moments, an introspective quality and offer space for improvisation, which Kissin knows to use best. The Russian pianist shines in the quieter parts as well as in the virtuoso and heroic ones. A must.
