It is not unknown work to me, I never was hugely thrilled about it but I heard it today for the first time that I suddenly turned to like it. Ironically it was the performance today that I liked but rather it was a bliss to me, an inspiration why I did not like it before.
Today I heard Kissin played Prokofiev’s Second Concertos with London’s Philharmonia Orchestra under Ashkenazy. Evgeny Kissin was at the top of his shape – flawless but empathycal technicality and flooding the nuances of melody with barbaric pianisic chops. The notes taste like tune cans in super market… It did not have on merits but how truly musical was it? Well, probably it was as musical as the Baron Cohen’s film “Bruno” is funny….
Still, listening Kissin it suddenly comes to me how to play Prokofiev’s Second Concertos in order the concert did not created just a motor reaction of pianisic impressiveness but rather work as a serious piano concerto…
