Evgeny Kissin: Complete Piano Concertos as Easy as Pie

Evgeny Kissin has realised a personally seminal project by recording all Beethoven Piano concertos. Described as a further milestone in their relationship, EMI Classics will release a three-CD Boxset containing the five Concertos performed by Kissin and the London Symphony Orchestra under the batton of Sir Colin Davis, as well as making these pieces available as a digital download. The thought of documenting his passion for the music has crossed his mind several times over the past years, but only now did the occasion seem just right for Evgeny Kissin. “Recording with Evgeny Kissin and Sir Colin Davis was a wonderful experience”, producer Jay Saks confirms the all-round positive impressions of the studio encounter, “Their interpretation was amazingly accomplished, extremely musical and entirely in the character of Beethoven. As a producer, I had to remind myself time and again that I was sitting here on professional terms. Such is the overwhelming impact of his playing that you forget everything around you. This Beethoven is breathtaking.” The Boxset will be released on On September 19th.
