From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

***It seemed that the audience was not going to let him go home. He must have played a half dozen encores.***

I read something(can't remember what it was in) that said at one of his concerts he performed so many encores that the hall management finally turned out the lights on him.

***Kissin started with the Busoni arrangement of the Bach Chaccone from the 2nd Violin Partita. It was unbelievable. ***

The recording of it is wonderful, too. I'm waiting for the day that Kissin seriously begins taking on the Bach repertoire. Kissin says Bach is his favorite composer.

***The technical feats Kissin is capable of are breathtaking. ***

Yep.

***But more than that, he has an amazing natural musicality that makes every phrase convincing. ***

Yep, again.

***When critics are discussing the early phase of the career of the greatest pianist of the 21st century, you can say that your heard him in the first decade of the century.***

Eventhough Kissin has been recording for around 15 years, he's just getting started. As of now, Kissin "owns" the 21st Century.
