A piano mestre that captivates
Evgeny Kissin, one of the most recognized pianists in the world, offered a memorable performance on March 6 at the Palau de la Música as part of the BCN Classics season. Its presence on the stage transforms each concert into a unique event, full of emotion and intensity.
Interpretations that left imprint
His interpretation encompassed works by Bach, Chopin and Shostakovich, each presented with a distinctive approach and an extraordinary depth. Kissin is known for his ability to make each note resonate with an unmatched force, turning his repertoire into a captivating sound journey.
Bach: A journey to the depths of the counterpoint

Chopin: A balance between passion and containment
Despite being considered one of Chopin’s great performers, Kissin may fall into the temptation to overload the sound. This was noticeable at the night in a minor sustained do, op. 27 no. 1, where the density of sound limited musical freedom. However, he recovered spectacularly with the night in the Bemoll Major, op. 32 Num. 2, bringing a new life and expansion to its interpretation.
Shostakovich: a hypnotic experience
The second part of the concert was dominated by Shostakovich, with the interpretation of Sonata no. 2 in Si minor, op. 61, and some preludes and leaks op. 87. Kissin achieved a perfect symbiosis between hardness and sweetness, presenting a music that seemed to speak directly to the soul of the spectators.

With an audience delivered to an ovation that seemed to have no end, Kissin closed his performance with some Chopin bishops. Its ability to transform a concert into an emotional experience is undeniable, and each performance is an opportunity to live a cathartic moment that music lovers cannot miss.
