WPAS Stars Series
Evgeny Kissin, piano

The pianist with ironclad technique and exceptional virtuosity presents an all-Liszt recital, featuring the Sonata in B minor--arguably the composer's greatest work for solo piano--and several lesser-known, but no less extraordinary compositions.  Evgeny Kissin's performances are marked by "the uncanny fluidity of his finger work, the myriad colorings, the delineation of inner voices, the relaxed yet ferocious bursts of power" (The New York Times).
