Where that the information about his musicality (questioned musicality) comes from? I'd rather say that he is one of the most musical pianists of our time.Mdv137 21:07, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Some attribution(s) to replace these Weasel words would definitely be appreciated. --Sketchee 23:25, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
- I haven't heard much criticism of Kissin that I can recall in this regard. (Lang Lang OTOH, I have heard very few good things despite his glowing article.) I'm no expert however :) --Sketchee 23:32, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
- I support that. Some find him to be overdoing his dramatic and romantic effects, such as rubato and so on. I don't think that has to be contrary to musicality (however one defines that :-P), though. Personally, I think Kissin is great. (And yeah, Lang Lang is much more controversial.) — Pladask 06:41, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Kissin's Patronymic
Does anybody know his patronymic? I've searched in vain for it. JackofOz 02:00, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Check the Russian translation of this page. Seems to be Igorevich.
[edit] One of the Greatest Pianists? Perfectly Nuanced?
I'd never heard of Evgeny Kissin until today, when I found a recording of him playing a favourite of mine - Prokofiev's Etude Opus 2 No. 3. I wouldn't say his performance of it was "perfectly nuanced". I'd really like to see some sources cited to justify these outrageous claims. In the mean time, I'm removing them.
