Spine tingling and inspiring performances of music by Dvorak, Ravel, Richard Strauss, Stravinsky and Brahms are complemented by the extraordinary talent of the multi-awarded Russian pianist Evgeny Kissin. Kissins musicality, the depth and poetic quality of his interpretations, and his extraordinary virtuosity have placed him at the forefront of todays pianists, and his passionate performance of the renowned Piano Concerto in A minor by Edvard Grieg is mesmerizing.
