Kissin in Tokyo

About This Movie

Kissin in Tokyo captures a moment in time when a 16-year-old Yevgeny Kissin already had a mastery that was quite remarkable. The atmosphere in Suntory Hall is electric, with his fingers dancing over the piano keys, channeling the depth of Prokofiev's Sonata no. 6. You feel the nuances in every note, the intensity of the performance. The pacing is mesmerizing, with each piece flowing into the next, hinting at the emotional landscapes Kissin navigates effortlessly. Rachmaninoff's pieces, alongside Prokofiev, showcase not just technical skill but a rare authenticity in expression. It's a concert film, but it feels deeply personal, almost like you're witnessing a young artist's private journey unfold on stage.
