For me, I've always wanted to go to the Walt Disney Concert Hall. They have some great talent showing up there! But of course I looked LAtimes for their blog, and found Evgeny Kissin at Walt Disney Concert Hall. I am a great fan of the piano, so I greatly appreciate Walt Disney for doing that! It must have been an offer to perform there! Here is what they had to say:
Returning to Walt Disney Concert Hall Monday night, Evgeny Kissin did not look a day older than when he played the first solo recital in the hall during its opening festivities in 2003. For that matter, the 37-year-old Russian pianist appears hardly changed since he became an international sensation in his teens.
He still walks onstage as if in a trance, only springing to fluid life the instant his fingers come in contact with the keyboard. He hasn’t lost his deer-in-the-headlights look when his adoring fans burst into round after round of rhythmic clapping, as they always do. Indeed, Kissin would have been knee deep in flowers if the ushers had let all the patrons with bouquets bring them into the hall.
But Kissin has indeed matured artistically. He exhibited a new expansiveness in his playing Monday. He always had a luxurious tone, but he has added a richer palette of colors. He shows more capacity for delving deep into scores but also takes more chances, and some of them are newly peculiar. He was presumably born with superhuman hands, but now they seem to be operated by the next generation of ultra-fast processor and versatile software.
