A pianist who regularly takes the audience to the limits of audibility - intense, uncompromising, full of presence.
Evgeny Kissin is one of those artists for whom a piano recital is more than just a concert. When he performs again at the Isarphilharmonie, he builds on an evening that generated an extraordinary response last time: a hall that was filled to the last seat and an audience that rose almost unanimously after weighty encores. Kissin's playing comes across as a unity of concentration and eruptive power - fine in detail, great in expression, with a clarity that is immediately moving.
The reviews spoke of "towering expressive power" and an evening that was divided into several dramaturgical arcs. It is precisely this mixture of depth, creative will and technical precision that makes Kissin's performance so impressive. His concerts are moments in which music is not interpreted, but lived - hauntingly, directly and with the presence that has made him one of the most important pianists of our time for decades.
