 We will miss him March 1, 2008
vaporizer (USA)
Marvelous version of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto #1. I know we will miss Herbert Von Karajan as conductor but Mr. Kissin is still around! Kissin was only 17 when this new years eve concert was recorded LIVE!
A marvel November 8, 2007

I've always been a Tchaikovsky fan, but as a pianist I'd curiously been somewhat indifferent to PC1...until I heard/watched this Kissin/Karajan performance on youtube. I knew instantly I had to buy it. Apparently the boy wonder wanted it at the typical manic tempo, but the maestro insisted on expansiveness. The result is monumental.

This is a magnificent recording of the Tchaikovsky in many ways. The historical value, the terrific sound from the orchestra and the fact that this is Karajan's last concert with the BPO. The only negative for me is that I've never heard the Concerto ever played as slowly as this. It is almost distracting how slow it is. The positive is that most all of today's pianists play it too fast - so this is the other end of the spectrum. The Prokofiev is dazzling and lovely to hear.

This is great but should've been longer about 1 hr 1/2 is Karajan conducting 1 piece and other 1/2 is Kissin performing w/orch. Kissin makes the dvd worth every cent.

This was Herbert Von Karajan's last appearance with the Berlin Philharmonic. He is of course, the best and the recording a treasure. His quiet passages may be a little too soft for some, but he is a Master Conductor whom I understand delighted in encouraging young artistes. Mr. Evgeny Kissin, a teenager of about 15 at this time is astounding. His technical prowess and strength unbelievable for one so young, and his passion and musicianship superb! I bought this DVD strictly for the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 and can recommend it without reservation as an inspiration for young musicians, as well as other adult fans of Russian Music. To solo a piano concerto with the Berlin Philharmonicer at 15 - astounding!
