    "Who inspires you the most" "The person i am with in each particular moment"
    That sentence was particularly beautiful

  • @alinabennett4379
    @alinabennett4379 4 года назад +88

    what struck me the most in this interview, is that he is absolutely incapable of lying/pretending/posing...he took so much time to answer some questions out of this inherent urge to be honest...

    • @diabl2master
      @diabl2master Год назад +2

      He answers very literally and when someone asks him his favourite something and he doesn't have a definite answer he feel compelled to be honest and say I can't choose, and that's the end of that 😂

    • @sacrilegiousboi978
      @sacrilegiousboi978 Год назад +3

      Integrity and honesty are clearly very important to him. After his Carnegie Hall debut in the early 90’s he became famous in America and went on lots of talk shows. He was told by many people afterwards that he was too direct/honest when answering questions and that he didn’t schmooze or charm enough.

    • @sacrilegiousboi978
      @sacrilegiousboi978 5 месяцев назад +2

      I get the sense his honesty comes across in his piano playing also. There are no airs and graces, no phoneyness or special effects, just raw and honest music.
      I think this is why he is such a unique player and why despite him being lauded by many as one of the best pianists alive and a very special musician, there is a very vocal minority who dislike his playing and why he sometimes gets slandered by music critics - it’s honest and raw, sometimes brutally so.

  • @MsFloopdedoop

    He is a very intelligent man, beside being a piano genius. I'm so happy to see him smile and laugh here, because it's rare. Vladimir Ashkenazy said of Kissin as 'Very, very nice person." Among all the nice pianists, Kissin is something else nice, he said. Just truly genuine soul. I can tell there is ZERO evil inside him. Such a sweet, considerate, pure hearted man. The kind of man who will be your true friend. .
