Evgeny Kissin is an internationally renowned classical pianist
admired for his interpretations of the repertoires of Beethoven,
Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, and
Prokofiev. The intensity of Kissin's thinking animates this candid
memoir, illuminating his astonishing memory, his fondness for his
family and teachers, and his artistic sense of self. Memoirs and
Reflections chronicles Kissin's musical education and his early
career. His writing is infused with his lifelong engagement with
music: an obsessive love that captured, challenged, and nurtured
him from a young age. He recounts fortuitous events and
serendipitous encounters with remarkable musicians and conductors,
including Herbert von Karajan. This book shows Kissin to be
surprisingly modest and down-to-earth in spite of his astonishing
gift. He writes of his family and friends with tender affection and
touching detail. Reading this intimate memoir is like having a
private audience with the great pianist himself.
