"Who inspires you the most" "The person i am with in each particular moment"
That sentence was particularly beautiful
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...
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 😂
You just had to paraphrase my comment, didn't you?
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.
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.
I love this. He takes every question so literally lol! And you can just tell he doesn't lie and just tells you how it is with him!
This dude is "weird" is all the best possible ways. Very likeable!
He kind of reminds me of the spirit of Glenn Gould.
He’s an enigma!!😀
He is a lovably eccentric genius indeed like Glenn Gould.
instablaster.
Autistic spectrum. Not so dificult
I love how he answers each question as though he is under oath.
He is too cute😍❤️❤️💓🎊
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. .
,, I can tell there is ZERO evil inside him.'' so true.. I totally share your opinion about him, great personality great talant))
"Fucking Communists"
Indeed, he's like a 19th century gentleman. He likes music and poetry. And he's humble, yet he perspires talent and genius.
He just carries himself as kind, thoughtful person. Talent, handsome and great personality. He has it all
well then check his last statements about wars on Russia and Israel and reconsider your comment about him.
I didn't realise just how hilarious he is! His answers are so funny. Kissin is a legend.
He is so cool this guy. Not only is he an amazing pianist, but totally down to earth.
"But I am a piece of art." cute
"Fucking comunist"
Grande Kissin!
es que kissin god
Up to this day, I am still absolutely loving this interview! 😊
Can anybody tell me which piece is been played at the backround at 5:35?That violin solo!
He is such a gift to humanity...
This dude is so funny OMG
+Serena Chen Hilarious! I've watched this three times and it just gets better.
loved how the auto-generated english subs put "God" instead of "Bach" 1:44
WOW
aw, i just want to cry, because he is really very special.
I've met him in amsterdam, he was so nice
Omg
You are so lucky
OMG I hope you have taken a photo of these moment
MISS PASSION WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I'll be meeting him in Amsterdam next weekend ;D
jordi de waard Hallo, zou ik mogen vragen hoe het was, ik plan om in 2020 hem ook te bezoeken in amsterdam.
He is one of my favorite pianists!
Me too✋He is too cute😍❤️❤️💓🙆
He is shy but definitely gifted, talent. I like his smile and yeah at the end hahaaa. Lovely boy.
"Banker...........professional killer......"
That escalated quickly! haha, he is so nice :)
I read it as "professions you would have liked" so I was just laughing my arse off.
how can anyone hate this guy after this interview? wow,, I want him to be the voice of my GPS.
he's so cute in this video!!!!!
I’m an office clerk... 😭 but I agree, it can be a pretty depressing job 😅 I appreciate his frankness and honesty!
3:59 "I guess the person I'm with at each particular moment"
Wow.
Twice as long as most of the others, but great and so carefully he answers the questions and so carefully he puts the sheets down! Love these!
5:29 -- EPIC
fucking what? i didnt understand
@@agamaz5650 communist ?
@@agamaz5650 He said F*cking Communist
@@garcia9529 hahaha cool
Makes me wonder if he would prefer Pinochet's dictatorship over Allende's democratic government unlike the pianists who perform Rzewski's "The People United Will Never Be Defeated". I suspect he would. Absolute cringe.
"I was saying 'thank you' too often!"
What a precious treasure he is!! So absolutely adorable. Don't ever change Evgeny. I will gladly be your beloved woman! Yeah! שָׁלוֹם
He was adorable in a weird way and hilarious in some of the answers. At the same time he was intense and thought very hard to the questions which he seemly took seriously.
I love how he tries his best to give the most authentic answers. I love this guy.
He is so unintentionally hilarious.
facts
It’s the social awkwardness that comes with his autism spectrum.
He is fucking adorable hahaha
LOL, absolutely hilarious -- I want to have dinner with this dude!
A very charismatic and sincere great artist.
So great seeing him having some fun instead of having to answer the same "serious" questions all the time. ;)
I just love him.
Yes👍so cute😍💕
He said PROFESSIONAL KILLER !!! i am sure he would be good at it with such excellent fingers.
Hahahahhah indeed. He prob can kill just by using his powerful pinky
He looks so cute when he is thinking.
I agree👍😍😍❤️
Yeah he looks like a kid when he is thinking hahaha. His serious face just cracked me up. Soooo cute and adorable
LOVE THIS GUY. I'm so upset at myself for missing his Chicago concerts this year!!!
my piano teacher met him when she was studying at the Tchaikovsky conservatory in Russia and told me he is a brilliant pianist but a bit strange and Im so glad I found this interview to see what she meant. LOL i love him!
I think some people for some reason are much more highly evolved than the rest of us and I have a feeling he's one of them
You love Kissin? Do you know mediciTV? Watch his concerts online on mediciTV! See in infos above the video :)
This is brilliant. So happy he agreed to this. What a completely great man.
I agree👍He is great and so cute😍❤💕
This made me laugh so hard...Kissin is so great
Kissin is so cute! How could one hate a person with such talent and such a pure soul?
Evgeny is great! Let's celebrate our differences and realize how unique this wonderful artist is.
He is a gracious and modest man.
"fucking communist" HAHAHAHAH IM DYING
顶！
Possibly the best pianists from today's era
This guy is amazing
Yes👍He is too cute😍💖
@ 7:14, "My beloved woman"......so gallant.
I wish all the comment makers were as fine minded, cultured and wise as this marvellous human being, Evegeny Kissin. Exceptional musicians are often the most incredible people. Their discipline demands it.
marianne hatchwell Yes. He may be a bit shy, but he IS extremely intelligent. Most of the questions were awful. "What is your favorite drug?" popped up for a sec, if i'm not mistaken. How the heck are you supposed to answer that?

His answer to the question at the 5:20 mark is the BEST. Crude but spot on.
this interview shows me. he is very warm person... andhe spent good childhood.. nice^^
Thanks for uploading!
but i am a piece of art! LOL
This guy is cool as fk. A total thug!
oh my god....this is kissin...so dynamic...i have just finish watching his sydney perfornance, where he was so gentle and serious.....so so so so dynamic...how many hidden personalities do you have, kissin?
Great candid clip. I wasn't sure he had a sense of humor until I saw this. Thanks for posting this.
a great person , i think his personality and way of thinking is amazing
a real artist above all, humble! that's why he can touch hearts with music too!
This just made my day!
So he is a nerd. Respect to him for just being himself instead of trying to be "cool". Personally I'd have more time for him than some bubblegum anorexic twenty-something popstar. And he's a heck of a lot more talented as well. The world is so full of fakers, where have all the real ones gone.
Ridaa Ismail Lol so deep... but true nonetheless. Eloquently spoken.
I absolutely love you, Evgeny! Because of your influence, my mother and I have started speaking to each other in Yiddish. Thank you, so much, for what you bring into my life!
That is powerful!
Somehow I managed to keep a straight face throughout, but when he all of a sudden hit us with the "fucking communist" I BURST OUT LAUGHING AHAHAAHAHA
He is such a cute dork, I love it!!! Just my favorite type of people, I'm almost like him haha. I'm much too young to be crushing on him but whatever! :))))
glad to know I'm not alone because I have a crush on him as well sis😭🙌
Oh my god he is sooo cute, I love him
There is only one thing that would make this more cute - if he were wearing a black Dracula cape.
What a pleasant surprise ! He seems to tense at the piano, yet he's a funny guy on interview.
We studied Yevgeny Yevtushenko in my Russian class many years ago. I still have a book of his poetry in Russian. Alas, my expertise in the language has virtually disappeared. However, I shall research the poem you mentioned. May you continue ti grow and share your amazing talent with the world.
Professional Killer...lol.
MrLextune You wrote the highest possible order of virtuoso wrong
I have had the opertunity to talk to him, he is not weird - you just have to let him unwind..then you see a different side.
I love this guy before and I love him more after what he said in the minute 7:18. All my respect genius!
Interesting. Like his show of sincerity
"But I am a piece of art."
2:10 -- "Drugs? What are those?"
7:03 -- "Drug dealer."
LOL ;-)
He is a genius.
Very well spoken and spontaneous in very careful manner
One of my favourite people
SO WEIRD BUT FUNNY. you gotta love this guy.
He is awesome!! =)

He treat his fans is far better than hypocrite Lang Lang. Kissin is friendly, talented, true professional pianist
"Professional killer" now that cracked me up-LOL- Kissin is such a likeable nerd... love it. Thanks.
how cute he is! i don't know i can tell him as cute (he's alreay kind of middle aged!), i don't care, though I've actually grown up with him.He's my contemporary :D
He looks quite shy and timide in the movie..but his artistic world is absolutely enormous.
I agree👍He is too cute😍💕💓
My Kissin did NOT just say "sexy girls" ahahahahaah!!! Love him.
