Evgeny Kissin

Sun, Aug 25, 2024, 15:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Evgeny Kissin (Piano)
Evgeny Kissin has been part of the absolute elite among the world's concert pianists for several decades. His debut solo recital took place when he was merely seven years old, and at the age of twelve, he gained international attention as a soloist in Chopin's two piano concertos performed alongside the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra. It has been many years since he left Russia, and he has been vocal in his strong criticism of the invasion of Ukraine. He has graced the stage of Konserthuset Stockholm on multiple occasions, most recently in 2011.Kissin is a unique pianist and personality who harnesses the virtuosic possibilities of the piano without turning it into mere spectacle. Through what sometimes appears as purely intuitive ability, he conjures musical magic with his delicate touch, well-placed pauses, and ecstatic expression.In this eagerly awaited return visit, he performs a selection of renowned works by composers close to his heart. We hear Chopin's expressive Fantasie, Brahms’ emotionally charged Ballades Opus 10, and Prokofiev's Second Piano Sonata – a piece ranging from lyrical melodies to aggressive brutality. The concert commences with Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 27, where the searching sentiment of the first movement and the melodic beauty of the second movement reflect Beethoven's exploration of musical romanticism.

Krzysztof Urbański & Evgeny Kissin

Thu, Nov 2, 2023, 20:00
Isarphilharmonie (München)
Krzysztof Urbański (Conductor), Evgeny Kissin (Piano), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
The BRSO is looking forward to its first collaboration with the Polish conductor Krzysztof Urbański, who has been the Chief Conductor of the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana since 2022 and has served as guest conductor of renowned orchestras such as the Münchner and Berliner Philharmoniker, the Dresden Staatskapelle, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. Urbański will introduce himself to the BRSO audience with a work particularly close to his heart: Shostakovich’s existential Tenth Symphony. Immediately after Stalin’s death, Shostakovich created in this symphony a harrowing document of the suffering caused by dictatorship and terror, and at the same time a moving self-portrait. In addition, there is a reunion with Evgeny Kissin, who raised his voice against the Russian war of aggression from the very beginning. He will perform Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto, probably the most technically demanding of the composer’s four concertos.
