Evgeny Kissin

[Peter]

Watched the Christopher Nupen film on Kissin yesterday - certainly a remarkable talent and wondered if any members have some thoughts on this pianist?

I love his playing. I also love his willingness to play encores, and to stay after concerts to sign autographs, LATE into the night.

Yes he seems a genuinely decent chap - at his UK proms debut in 1997 he performed no fewer than 7 encores including Beethoven's "Turkish" march arranged by Anton Rubinstein - I didn't know it had been arranged and wonder if anyone knows this version?

I didn't know if you had seen this Peter so I thought I would post it.

Thanks Preston - enjoyed that and also his playing of La Campanella.
