Description

Evgeny Kissin is an internationally renowned classical pianist admired for his interpretations of the repertoires of Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev.

The intensity of Kissin's thinking animates this candid memoir, illuminating his astonishing memory, his fondness for his family and teachers, and his artistic sense of self.

Memoirs and Reflections chronicles Kissin's musical education and his early career.

His writing is infused with his lifelong engagement with music: an obsessive love that captured, challenged, and nurtured him from a young age.

He recounts fortuitous events and serendipitous encounters with remarkable musicians and conductors, including Herbert von Karajan.

This book shows Kissin to be surprisingly modest and down-to-earth in spite of his astonishing gift.

He writes of his family and friends with tender affection and touching detail.

Reading this intimate memoir is like having a private audience with the great pianist himself.
