(AP Photo) NEW YORK (AP) Evgeny Kissin sang his first tune before he spoke his first word, started tinkering on the piano at age 2 and became a sensation at 13 with a Chopin concert in his native Moscow. Today, at 31, the gentleman with the lionlike mane is arguably the world's greatest pianist. This month, he released an all-Brahms album, including the five-movement "F Minor Sonata," a huge work that composer Robert Schumann considered symphonic in scope. In performances, he demonstrates a masterful insight into the compositions, remaining in complete command of the music with thoughtful phrasing and thunderous outbursts. "To understand music, we use both intellect and intuition. You must be intelligent enough, but you also need to have an actual feeling from music to be able to understand it," Kissin said in crisply enunciated, Russian-accented English during a recent interview.

Extractions: Through his extraordinary virtuosity and powerful interpretations, Evgeny Kissin stands at the forefront of the young generation of pianists. He is now in demand the world over, appearing regularly with such conductors as Seiji Ozawa Claudio Abbado , Vladimir Ashkenazy, James Levine Carlo Maria Giulini , Kurt Masur and Daniel Barenboim, as well as with all the major orchestras. He makes regular recital tours to the United States, Japan and Europe, and his recordings have received numerous awards and accolades. Kissin's latest recording for Sony Classical, featuring the Beethoven Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 5 with the Philharmonia Orchestra and conductor James Levine, has won international critical acclaim since its release in 1997. Evgeny Kissin was born in Moscow in 1971 and began to play and improvise on the piano at the age of two. He entered the Moscow Gnessin School of Music for Gifted Children at the age of six, where he studied with Anna Pavlovna Kantor. At the age of ten he made his performing debut playing Mozart's Piano Concerto K. 466 with the Orchestra of Ulyanovska, and he gave his first solo recital in Moscow at age eleven. He first came to international attention in March 1984, when he performed the two Chopin concertos in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory with the Moscow State Philharmonic under Dmitri Kitaenko. Kissin made his West European debut in 1987 at the Berlin Festival, and in 1988 he toured Europe with the Moscow Virtuosi and Vladimir Spivakov. He made his BBC Promenade debut under David Atherton in 1988 and took part in the Berlin Philharmonic's New Year's Eve concert under the late Herbert von Karajan. In September 1990 he made an acclaimed North American debut playing both Chopin piano concertos with the New York Philharmonic and

Extractions: A s 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.
Verbier Festival And Academy Verbier Festival Academy, July 30, 2000 evgeny kissin is one sense a lot of doubtsin kissin s play, the The pianist task was difficult because the tent was http://www.cosmopolis.ch/english/cosmo9/verbiermusic.htm
Extractions: For its seventh edition in the year 2000, Verbier invited outstanding pianists like Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Martha Argerich, Zoltán Kocsis and Evgeny Kissin, violinists Nigel Kennedy and Gil Shaham, and cellist Mischa Maisky. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the organizers were forced to enlarge the festival's tent by 300 to 1500 seats in order to cope with the widening audience. Unfortunately, the tent as a place for musicians to perform can only be a temporary solution. The acoustics, especially far away from the scene and especially when it rains is pitiful, a shame and an unbearable situation for every art lover. There are discussions going on for the construction of a concert hall. The cost of about CHF10 million is of course a problem for the community of only 2000 people. But together with the help of such potent sponsors as UBS, a solution should be possible. The concert hall could also serve for purposes other than the summer festival, e.g. congresses. It would be an intelligent investment for the future, especially if one considers that the tent costs CHF500,000 every year. In recent years, about three quarters of the yearly one million visitors of Verbier came (and come) in winter. In summer, there is still room for a moderate expansion. The region with its "four valleys" is one of the world's largest skiing areas with 400 km of ski runs and 95 lifts to enjoy. Situated at an altitude of 1,500 meters or 4,920 feet, Verbier lies in the heart of the Swiss Alps, near the Italian border and the famous Grand-St-Bernard "hospice", well-known for its rescue dogs ("Barry").
