Evgeny Kissin Recital 11//05/2025

Wasn't Kissin one of the first to give a solo recital at the Proms and is there an available recording of the performance?

There is a film of the encores from that 1997 Prom:

Back to RF's original topic: EK gave the same recital last Saturday at Carnegie Hall, at least it seems so based on the program listing. The one review that I quickly found is here:

He has a few more appearances coming up this month at Carnegie Hall:

I wasn't able to attend the 18 May recital (but I've seen EK in recital elsewhere, so best to let someone else have a chance), nor will I be able to attend the later NYC chamber DSCH recitals. However, FWIW, a few days before that solo Carnegie Hall recital, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center featured a chamber music program of all contemporary composers, which included EK's 2022 Piano Trio, written in response to the invasion of Ukraine:

Kissin was in the audience at Alice Tully Hall for the first half, and took a bow after his work.

There was some different encores, but the scheduled program was the same.
I have a friend in the U.K. who is quite excited to be seeing him in approximately 3 weeks
