Featured: Evgeny Kissin - Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1

The term "child prodigy" is thrown out fairly often and there are countless examples of very talented young children performing far above their level. That is exciting, but there is something that excites me much more and that is witnessing a child prodigy grow throughout their life into an even more mature and accomplished musician.  Evgeny Kissin is one who fits that description. Recognized as a prodigy at a very early age, you can find his very wonderful performance of the Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1 as a 13-year-old here. As he has become older, he has developed into a masterful musician, having passed through a stage of machine-like technical ability into musical expression that draws new emotions with each note. Enjoy this performance and explore his other recordings.
