“So compelling is Kissin’s pianism, so fresh his response to even the most familiar phrases, that one hangs on every note… mesmerized by the poetry of his reading.” – The New York Times
It is safe to say that Evgeny Kissin’s performances with Washington Performing Arts are one of the highlights and most anticipated recitals of any given year in the Washington, D.C., classical scene. The simultaneous grandeur and intimacy of Evgeny Kissin’s solo performances give full voice to his expressive range and impressive skill. For this recital, Mr. Kissin brings repertoire that has brought him deserving renown: Beethoven’s charming and lesser-known Sonata. No. 27, Brahms’s intense yet beautiful Ballades, goosebump-inducing and finger-twisting Rachmaninoff, and one of Prokofiev’s tumultuous War Sonatas. Kissin’s Washington Performing Arts recital at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall will truly be an extraordinary experience for all who attend.
