Scherzo No. 4; the Berceuse; and the Barcarolle.. Kissin has a brittle, exciting touch which is never afraid to be robust. but is soft and shimmering at its most beautiful. The Ballades are Chopin's autobiography. They are substantial works each containing a pair of his most beautiful and naturally flowing themes, sometimes announced with outrageous grade two simplicity, at others times wrapped up in the most contorted swathes of passionate piano writing that one could give one's whole life to practising and still never master Nothing is more restful than the Berceuse, which rocks like a sophisticated nursery rhyme for five pages over an unchanging bass The Barcarolle laps at the keyboard like the Rialto at Venice Under Kissin's fingers, one of the loveliest musical depictions of water in the literature has a silver, steel-edged glint. The Scherzo is not often performed because it is so difficult, but Kissin plays its supersonic chord changes with supreme control. What others only plod at is for him light hearted and almost throwaway. --Rick JonesProduct DescriptionKissin, Evgeny\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47860316078331,"sku":"X-CD-VG-092624-Karie-1908","price":6.09,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/legendarymedias.com\/products\/chopin-4-ballades-audio-cd-kissin-evgeny-very-good","provider":"Legendary Medias","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
