Evgeny Kissin | Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Overview

Evgeny Kissin’s recitals “evoke an earlier era of great Romantic pianism” (Boston Globe) with their “formidable blend of technical prowess and exploratory fervor” (San Francisco Chronicle). Mixing grandeur and intimacy, Kissin presents signature repertoire by Beethoven and Chopin, plus a set of Shostakovich selections, each strikingly vivid in character and mood.
