Product Description In 1988 pianist Evgeny Kissin, then 17 years old, started his world career with an electrifying interpretation of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 at the Berliner Philharmoniker's New Year's Eve Concert. The brilliance and youth of the gifted pianist were complemented with conductor Herbert von Karajan's wisdom of age; it turned out to be one of the Maestro's last recordings, he eventually died before it was released. Review “[Kissin’s] tremendous technical assurance is evident not just in terms of sheer facility but in the ability to spread passage work.” Gramophone “The young Kissin has a phenomenal technique and no inhibitions about displaying it.” BBC Music Magazine
