Description:

[Best Classical 100] Keyshin is one of the most acclaimed and popular piano masters of the 21st century. He first made his name in the world in 1984, when he played two Chopin piano concertos on the Soviet Melodia label at the age of 12. Since then, Chopin's works have been a priority in Kyshyn's repertoire, and with each new addition to his repertoire, he has left his mark on RCA in the form of recordings. The "24 Preludes" recorded during a session in 1999 is a masterful performance in which the charms of the 24 small pieces are fully reproduced and the overall flow of the piece is well focused. The large scale "Funeral Sonata" and the lively "Polonaise for Heroes" are also standard fare. This is the first release in the series. Recorded: July 30, 31 & August 1, 1999 at SWR Studio, Freiburg, Germany.
