Amazing! Evgeny Kissin Performs La Companella

Thursday November 6, 2008
My best friend forwarded me this YouTube video of Evgeny Kissin performing Liszt's Lar Companella. After watching it, there is no possible way I can not share it with you. If you have never seen it, prepared to be amazed. I've never heard this piece played with such clarity. You can hear every note! Watch the video and tell me what you think.

The link works now. Thanks for sharing this.

It is a sparkling and playful performance.
He made it sound like there’s a balalaika somewhere inside the piano.
