Movie Reviews of Kissin in Tokyo - Yevgeny Kissin

Movie Review: Unbelievable performance
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a beautifully filmed with terrific audio of young Yevgeny Kissin displaying his pianistic talent in Tokyo. The camera work is wonderful and you can watch his fingers fly across the keyboard with every composition. The Japanese audience was clearly in awe and appreciative of what they were hearing. This is as far as I know the only DVD of full-length performance where you can watch his fingerwork. He looks so young here like a babe in the woods and clearly very shy. His Chopin was already very mature and well established. My personal favorite was Rachmaninov's "Lilacs." Highly recommended for all piano fans.
