The Gift of Music plus The Albert Hall Encores

Evgeny Kissin: The Gift of Music is a documentary portrait of the Russian pianist, born in Moscow in 1971, who began playing at age two and became one of the most celebrated musicians of his generation. Directed by Christopher Nupen, the film captures Kissin in rehearsal, interview, and live performance, showcasing his technical mastery and interpretive depth. The centerpiece is his historic 1997 Promenade concert at London's Royal Albert Hall—the first solo recital in the event's 103-year history, drawing nearly six thousand people. Kissin performs works by Liszt, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, and others, with particular focus on Chopin, the composer closest to his heart. The documentary reveals how Kissin achieved rare simultaneous acclaim from critics, audiences, and fellow musicians, tracing a career of sustained excellence from childhood prodigy to world-class virtuoso.
