@Aleksandre Khundzakishvili you have great fundamentals and probably have been practicing long time. I was implying the dude was a beginner. I am a novice piano player, only been playing since April. I learn music theory starting in November, it should take me 5-10 more years to play this depending on how fast my improvement is. I have good technique but I’m braindead sadly lol
@Aleksandre Khundzakishvili It wasn't ridiculously hard but it is still very hard. The second page where the new theme comes in is very hard to get it to sound good. But none the less a great piece to play
Horowitz, Kissin, Gilels, Cziffra, Richter, even Yundi Li are my favorites. I like them all for different reasons. Kissin is not playing to be compared to Horowitz. He is playing for his audience, and for the greater good of music. There are very few people out there in the world that can do what Kissin does. We are lucky to have him!
Why does RUclips allow idiots/jerks like this to post such a vulgar reply???!!! His mom & dad sure must be very proud of him! Maybe they're just as vulgar as he!!! "Ach du lieber, mein schweinhund"!
It's remarkable his ardour to interpret this piece. How difficult must be to reach that level of humanity! We get so moved because Evgeny humanizes whatever he plays.
Certainly one of the best interpretations. Lovely 'pull back' at 47 seconds in ! Such passion and inspiration in such a short piece. Wish I was a good enough pianist to play this. Pure joy.
I agree. He can be like Argerich in her own way as she herself describes as: "aiming always to play the same piece differently everytime." So; therefore, a performance by these eccentric types can never be expected again and any "typical" labels applied to them in terms of style can only be appropriately, and so, accurately...when their performances collectively over years is considered as a unit. (In my opinion) by the way I am a piano lover. No virtuoso however and I cannot stand all the virtuoso wannabes on RUclips that make judgments about pianists as though they are equals among the likes of any virtuoso famous or not. Stuff like: "Pollini should throw in the towel in his old age" or "Argerich's prokofiev tempos shouldn't be seen as anything but questionable
The faces he makes when he’s waiting for them to stop clapping. Can you imagine being in that concert hall, in the direct center, and it’s you telling THEM to be quiet?
Great played by maestro kissin. I'm gonna see him this month in the concertgebouw in Amsterdam while he plays a selection of the Scriabin etudes op 8. I can't wait!!
О, да!!! Алексей Султанов был гением, который выделялся даже среди гениев. Кстати, и человек был необыкновенный. Очень тепло, по дружески относился к Евгению Кисину, ценил его талант, о чем сам Кисин писал после смерти Султанова.
Up to this moment I have never considered any performance of this piece as clear, under control, and full of both transcendental fury and pathos as I have heard here. Bravo.
I came here after listening to Horowitz's performance. Both interpretations are wonderful, but they deliver different sentiments. Kissin's version feels like an eerie ocean with hidden peril and air fueling up before the coming of a storm, while Horowitz's performance.. is the storm. Screaming, intense, passionate, turbulent, and unforgiving. Engulfs you right from the start and reverberates long after it's over. I don't know how to explain, but I find Horowitz's version to be much more captivating.
Красивая, ясная фразировка, как естественное ДЫХАНИЕ, и логичны Акценты во фразах; изысканно красивая ГАРМОНИЯ в этом "Этюде номер 12" ! ! ! Женечка, ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО за ИСПОЛНЕНИЕ, потрясающе УБЕДИТЕЛЬНО, ПРАВДИВО воплощены в гармонии Твои ЧУВСТВА, РАЗМЫШЛЕНИЯ, и Александра Н. Скрябина ! ! ! КРЕПКОГО ЗДОРОВЬЯ Тебе, Евгений ! ! !
What a vibrant performance of this magnificent etude for piano by Scriabin. Certainly one of my favourites. A truly virtuosic performance by Kissin of an incredibly difficult piano study! Harry E W Smith, E.D., A.D.M. Dip Health Couns
Everyone talking about what version of which pianist is better... If you think Kissin plays better than other pianists, keep your opinion and don't try to convince others
hahha, i played scriabin's version(him playing) at the same time as this one and for the first minute they sounded almost exactly the same. Kissin's interpretation is wonderful and i really like this. =) One day he will be even more amazing than now somehow.
This interpretation of this piece is my favorite th e great dynamic of crescendo and decrescendo is just beautiful his playing is so so expressive it just blows me away. I did also listen to Van CLiburn.
and again, that's just "your opinion"; who the hell are you to tell Zinnia this is right that is wrong? all these ignorants proclaim that what etude has to be like what, no. Etude is just an etude; a practice song. For interpretation? no, for skill improvements. Chopin etude, Scriabin, Liszt transcendental, Rachmaninoff's etude whatever. Etude is just a skill practicing series. No difference to Hanon. And it's all about showing off techniques. There are all these comments : "Hey I'm right you're wrong", or "this guy is the best" but oh, Concerto has to be performed like a concerto, etude has to be done like an etude and the last, etude is just a practice song. There is no "interpretation".
stanford choi wow I never heard so much bullshit in one message. Every great etude is an amazing opportunity for musical interpretation. The name "etude" only says there's a certain technical difficulty to the piece. every Chopin etude, Skrjabin etude, Rachmaninoff etude, etc is way more than just technical development.... of course there's no right en wrong to an interpretation as long as one reads the score carefully. Kissin does it his way, Horowitz plays it differently. Which interpretation you like is up to you. For me Horowitz is THE king of this etude
Kissin is a the virtuoso. He is like a man with the Midas touch he can play different repertoire with precision. that is why people are jealous and when they are jealous you are under the microscope and people will say any thing to hurt that person. I think Kissin don't pay attention to that because music is his life and joy.
Whenever pianists like Kissin play, I completely blank out and become lost in the music, until the audience starts clapping and bring me back to my senses.
THis is clearly another one of these videos that shows how great Kissin is: he can play loud chords without even touching the keyboard at times...maybe using mind power?
Wow! This is exhilarating, full of passion he touches my heart when kissin plays this piece. He makes music. There is only one and only one Kissin who can turn on the world of his music.THANK YOU MR. KISSIN. toronto
No. I am not lieing. Let me explain. Each year the Vienna Boys' Choir used to visist. Local families put them up in their own houses. This was during the 1950s. It was different then. Horowitz came along at the same time, I think as a supporting act, if you can believe. Anyway he did play on our family piano at our house. I think that Kissin is blessed with greatness also. Isn't it wonderful to have someone like this playing now. I can hardly believe it.
Lacking enough power in the fingers to extract juicy basses like Horowitz, the climax is not pronounced, too much sustain pedal, insufficient tempo and nuance contrasts, no "breathing" hands or change of character/disposition like we hear in Horowitz's performance, but better than Matsuev's version.
I play this piece myself and I've listened through those 3 timepoints for any discernable errors. It actually sounds just as the music sheets print it to be. Unless you consider a minor error to be tempo, more or less legato, crescendos and diminuendos, and various tonal inflections, subjective though they may be, I couldn't hear it. A perfectly shaped and performed piece beyond any shade of doubt.
Listen to Scriabin playing this (on RUclips) and see what is missing from both the Kissin and Horowitz performances. The composer's account transcends mere pianism.
I prefer this even to Scriabin's... I feel sorry for Kissin, he is grossly inderrated. He doesn't have many similar contempories to compare to, and the few than can compete in technique (Lang Lang) just cannot put their virtuosity to as good use as this...
If you look at the written music, that last chord is too wide for anybody's hands, but the pianist must do his best to try to play it as a single chord.
Actually, Horowitz's performance sounds a lot like the Scriabin piano roll, except that Scriabin is playing more right notes. There is nothing wrong with Kissins version in my opinion.
This interpretation is awesome. But Horowitz played this piece perfect, amazing, brilliantly, more beautiful, than all pianists in the world. After Horowitz’s playing, I can’t listen nobody. I don’t know what is wrong with this piece. From Russia with love)))
Unsurpassed! The best interpretation. Kissin understand this music deeply, feels it and makes us feel it, understand it, and experience the meaning of the music. This performance is superior to Rachmaninoff, Scriabin himself, Horowitz, and any one who is on RUclips. Kissin understands this music better than anyone else! This music requires amazing honesty that very few pianist have. I would love to hear Benjamin Grosvenor play this piece. We have begun a new golden age... How exciting!!!
Okay it's official, I'm going to start learning this piece right now.
@Aleksandre Khundzakishvili It should take about another year for this piece. xD
@Aleksandre Khundzakishvili you have great fundamentals and probably have been practicing long time. I was implying the dude was a beginner.

I think this is the best performance of this magical piece of music. Absolute perfection. Brilliant.
Listen to Alexey Sultanov. Also interesting and beautiful
As someone who has actually performed this in public, I totally agree.
Thanks for your comment.
I absolutely agree ! It’s phenomenal 👏👏👏👏
also try listening horowitz's
ruclips.net/video/uz3TqZtAkeQ/видео.htmlsi=jdBfFDcSYXuMvjZ5
The faces he makes when he’s waiting for them to stop clapping. Can you imagine being in that concert hall, in the direct center, and it’s you telling THEM to be quiet?
Kissin can do no wrong in my book. He's currently my fave. Has been for years now. The clarity of his playing is beautiful. I can hear every note.
My absolute favorite is the performance of Alexei Sultanov...
Kissin's tone and touch as a pianist is stunning as always. Very few come close.
I agree
I will study 24 hours 7 days.U will see im able to get close.lol.Like 7 km at least.
Cziffra is the man though
He is great but Horowitz owns this piece in my opinion.
horowitz plays it better lol
makes you realize what an absolute genius scriabin was. how can someone write something like this, let alone play it.
Played perfectly as usual from this genius
The greatest pianist off our time, FACT!!!
I may even go as far and say of all time!!! :)
Great played by maestro kissin. I'm gonna see him this month in the concertgebouw in Amsterdam while he plays a selection of the Scriabin etudes op 8. I can't wait!!
Simply THE BEST!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTE...
I cannot stop listening to it. A perfect piece for Kissin.
Evgeny really nailed this piece!!! bravo!!!
Yes indeed 🎵👏
This guy is phenominal - I can't think of a better recording of this intense piece!!
So Listen to Scriabin's playing...
Alexei Sultanov
listen to horrowitz’s one and you’ll change your mind
That was so good, I never really knew what to make of this piece to be honest, but he really made it alive for me and I now love it.
Good but not as alexei sultanov

Best interpretation ever for this piece. It is like it should, molto viguroso and captures perfectly the dramatic moment.

Kissins is one of my favourite pianist, and this Etude is marvellous I cant stoplistening THANKS A LOT!!!
I'm always amazed by his sound, each note so clear
Mi pianista preferido, gracias por esta maravillosa obra, gracias por dejar que todos disfrutemos de este gran talento.Genio
Спасибо вам , Женя ❤ за мастерство и за антивоенную позицию ❤
His interpretation is close to that of Scriabin himself.
Kissin has this one!
Que maravilla. Bravo,!!!👏💞
One more great from Evgeny Kissin... I'm starting to fall in love with the music HE transforms.
Quelle fougue, quelle passion, quelle résolution indéfectible, ça sonne merveilleusement juste, le souffle en est coupé
Kissin is a the virtuoso. He is like a man with the Midas touch he can play different repertoire

La Musica di Scriabin mi è sempre piaciuta e questo Pianista la interpreta molto bene. Complimenti !!!!
0:07 thank me later
Increible interpretacion, kissin es el mejor en este estudio!!
Totally agree. Horowitz does not present to much overwhelmed drama in sound, and his pedal use is much tender.
Excellent! really beautiful! I watched it three times.. great man :) deep respect!
14 years later....
Whenever pianists like Kissin play, I completely blank out and become lost in the music, until the audience starts clapping and bring me back to my senses.
His hair is so big because it's full of piano secrets.
wonderful!!!!
Bravo👏, but for me Horowitz plays better
Absolutely. Horowitz is unsurpassed. What Kissin does is very good, but it doesn't have the genius of Horowitz.
A beautifullly clear and precise interpretation of Scriabin's notes. I hear Scriabin's screams throughout and yes: they are loud. and so much more.
Scriabin is so underrated.
Bravoooooooooooooooo!!!

However, you must understand in higher music, interpretation and phrasing is always considered much more than accuracy is.
Agreed....everyone needs to jump over to the Horowitz version...it's listed under "related videos" on the right

What poor camera angles.
Would like to see his hands from a clearer view.
