    This is the finest piano interpretation of the Pictures I've heard. This 2001 recording of the no longer child prodigious shows the maturity and the assurance of the genius that was here to stay. The recording is superb, with the airy and presence of a live concert. This is a must have CD.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Genius!!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2002
    I have spent the latest week listening to Kissin's newest CD. And here are my thoughts:
    Bach/Busoni:
    Kissin's clear tone suits the work perfectly. His tone is sharp and the pedalling is held to moderation. The toccata is virtuosic at times and Kissin rses to sound as a whole organ. The adagio is slow and beautifuly colored by Kissin. Each phrase has weight and you sink in your chair listening to it. But the best is yet to come, the fugue. I wish Kissin would play more poliphonic music like fugues because he is a master at dragging forward inner voices. His fingers seem to have individual life and the lines eash gain their own existance. Listen to the beginning of the fugue, such clarity, focus and calm. The breath of tone in this work displayed by Kissin shows clearly his capability to make the piano sound like any other instrument he likes, organ, orchestra or what ever.
    Glinka/Balakirev:
    Small work I haven't heard elsewhere. Melancolic, slow and beautiful. An ok break between the two major works on the disc.
    Mussorgsky:
    Listening to Kissin led me into yet one Pictures-mania. So, there has been a lot of comparisons this week. I must say it straight out: genius! This is what I call a high class performance. In his last CD (Chopin: 2nd sonata, preludes) his tone got a bit to hard at times, and I was curious is he would try the power-path of Horowitz or the poeticism of Richter. I am glad he choose the latter, although I love Horowitz's version(s). Take for exaple the Bydlo. Yes, Horowitz is funny and exiting when he unleashes a thunderous left in the high climax. But such a force makes the bydlo more of a crasy bull than a slow, fat and lumpish ox, making heavy steps. Kissin hold back the banging and portraies the bydlo as slow but powerful force. The fast sections, like the market or the ballet of the chickens, sparkle with life. The grand gate of Kiev is magnificent, truly grand and noble.
    Conclusion: A CD to treasure as it contains a stunnig Bach/Busoni and one of the very best pictures ever, arguably the best pictures for a long long time. Kissin is the successor to Richter and Horowitz in Mussorgsky, no doubt in my mind.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great recording
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2004
    Kissin once again demonstrates unusually limpid playing and fine taste.
    The Bach/Busoni is excellent. I really like Busoni's transcription, perhaps even more so than the one he did of Chaconne. This transcription was made to order for Kissin's sonorous side.
    To understate matters greatly, the third movement presents slight technical difficulties for all those who find playing arpeggios in octaves frightening. Fortunately for us, Kissin does not find such feats difficult, and the result is spectacular. At 2'30 this piece really takes flight, and almost makes the disc.
    But I think I'm now overstating matters, since the Mussorgsky recording is one of the best around. If you liked Richter's aggressive account, you'll like this one. For the most part, their interpretations converge. I liked Richter's Limoges marche better for its absolutely heart pounding crescendo near the end; Kissin's leads to an adrenaline rush but stops short of causing palpitations. The market surely came alive for me in Richter's recording, although one might protest that Richter's cresendo made it seem like the market had exploded - that's not necessarily a bad thing, however.
    Kissin's Baba-Yaga (track 19) may be definitive. Unfortunately it's so good that it might even overshadow the ending, but that criticism isn't necessarily an apt one here. Although not absolute music - since it's trying to capture the mood of Hartman's works - it's still impressionist, and as such not overly formulaic. There's no reason you need a barn storming ending. As it stands the ending is grand, just slightly adumbrated because of Kissin's Baba-Yaga performance.
    The Lark is beautiful and provides a nice transition. The piece is a transcription of a song written by Glinka. Glinka's Lark, in the song, wishes sweetly that when she's gone someone will remember her and sigh. If he keeps giving the world recording such as this one, the Lark's wish will surely come to fruition for Kissin.

    This is the most extraordinary virtuoso performance. There is nothing more to say. On a parallel point the original piano version is quite different from the orchestral arrangement by Ravel. Mussorsgsky knew what he was about. You may say that "Pictures" strains the sole piano as a medium especially The Great Gate of Kiev but that to me is its merit. Doing the next to impossible creates excitement and tension. The orchestral version despite its clever orchestration, is flat by comparison.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Grandiose
    Reviewed in France on October 21, 2010

    J'adhère totalement au commentaire précédent. Kissin nous offre une toccata éblouissante de vie, un Glinka trop peu connu et très beau et, en dessert, les "tableaux d'une exposition", oeuvre grandiose qui nous promène dans une exposition de peinture dont différents tableaux ont inspiré à Moussorgski cette musique tour à tour rutilante, joyeuse, majestueuse qui nous conduit par exemple, d'un "marché" à "une cabane sur pattes de poules" en passant par des "catacombes"... Chaque petite pièce musicale est un vrai bijou, a son caractère propre, très "parlant". Ces courtes pièces sont entrecoupées par le thème récurrent de la promenade qui signale qu'on va changer de tableau. La visite s'achève devant la "Grande Porte de Kiev" et c'est si grandiose et si solennel qu'on imagine presque le tzar en personne s'y encadrant dans ses plus beaux atours. Du très beau piano pour une oeuvre célébrissime.
