An interview with Evgeny Kissin, who is described as one of the most outstanding pianists of our time.
Evgeny Igorevich Kissin was born in Moscow, Russia, in October 1971. He displayed a rare musical gift from an early age, reportedly playing by ear and improvising on the piano shortly after his second birthday. At the age of six, he enrolled at the Gnessin Music School in Moscow, where Anna Pavlovna Kantor became his sole piano teacher. Kissin’s public debut with an orchestra occurred at the age of ten, performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor K466 with the Ulyanovsk Symphony Orchestra. The following year, he gave his first recital in Moscow. His international career began to take shape after March 1984, when, at just twelve years old, he recorded both of Chopin’s piano concertos for Melodiya with Dmitri Kitayenko and the Moscow Philharmonic at the Moscow Conservatory.
Kissin’s career progressed rapidly with international appearances. In 1985, he performed in Eastern Europe, followed by his first tour of Japan in 1986. His West European debut took place at the Berlin Festival in 1987, the same year he debuted in the United Kingdom alongside conductor Valery Gergiev and violinists Maxim Vengerov and Vadim Repin at The Lichfield Festival. In 1988, he toured Europe with the Moscow Virtuosi and Vladimir Spivakov and made his London debut with the London Symphony Orchestra under Valery Gergiev. A significant milestone occurred in December 1988 when he played Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic at their New Year’s Eve Concert, which was broadcast internationally. His North American debut followed in September 1990, performing Chopin’s two piano concertos with the New York Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta and giving his first piano recital in Carnegie Hall’s centennial season.
Throughout his career, Kissin has maintained a demanding schedule of recitals and concerto appearances across Europe, America, and Asia, collaborating with many of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors. He was the first pianist to give a solo piano recital in the history of The Proms in London in 1997, and in 2000, he became the first concerto soloist invited to play in the Proms opening concert. Beyond his piano performances, Kissin has engaged with poetry, giving recitations of Russian and Yiddish poetry. He has also authored an autobiography, “Memoirs and Reflections,” published in 2018, and several books of poetry and short stories in Yiddish. His compositions include Four Piano Pieces, Op. 1, Violoncello Sonata, Op. 2, and String Quartet, Op. 3 (2016). Kissin has received numerous awards, including multiple Grammy Awards, the Triumph Award, and honorary doctorates from several institutions.
