  I don't know; I've read a few brutal reviews in Gramophone. Take, for example, Bryce Morrisson's recent treatment of Kissin. Which brings me to another point: Does anyone like Kissin any more?

    ....but he hasn't got too many critics fawning over him lately , does he?

    He is not under exclusive contract with BMG anymore, though, so perhaps his sales aren't quite what they were. Still, he can pack 'em in for his recitals and other appearances.

      The dismally self-absorbed Mr Kissin recently turned his back on his audiences, producing bizarre, directionless recitals on a tour that raised the ire of the English musical press.

      I posted a warning about Kissin on this forum over a year ago; do a search if interested. The most technically gifted pianist of our generation has nothing to say other than "Look at me!"

        Correct. I heard him in recital recently - "Pictures" and a few other warhorses - and it was actually pretty thrilling in a very ephemeral sort of way. The same works played by Berezovsky, who I heard a few years back, sound much deeper. I'm not sure Kissin's even the most technically gifted pianist of his generation. Surely Volodos takes that title? His new Schubert disc is great.
