Moscow, 1984: in the great hall of the conservatory, all ears are trained on Evgeny Kissin, who flawlessly navigates his way through Chopin’s two piano concerti. The fact that this event is attracting huge international attention is most likely due to one striking detail: at the time Kissin is just 12 years old. As a result, the whole world wants a piece of the Russian child prodigy, who is soon inundated with accolades and awards, but who fortunately manages to keep himself afloat amidst all the madness. Today, forty years on, Kissin’s formula shows absolutely no signs of wear and tear. During this exceptional concert at DE SINGEL, he unleashes his tried-and-tested combo of a truly meticulous technique and an exceptional talent for interpretation on a series of undisputed highlights from musical history. Allow yourself to be overwhelmed by an absolute legend!
