Evgeny Kissin performs Bach, Mozart, Chopin, and Rachmaninov

Every concert by once-in-a-generation talent Evgeny Kissin is a marquee event—and nowhere is the atmosphere more charged than at the 30th anniversary edition of the Verbier Festival, where he performs a riveting solo recital from the Salle des Combins! The virtuoso interprets a rich and varied program across genres and time periods, beginning with a mysterious and deeply atmospheric Baroque masterpiece, Bach's Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue, before bringing us into the Classical era with Mozart's dazzling Piano Sonata No. 9 in D. Kissin heads next into the heart of the Romantic period with Chopin's stormy and passionate Polonaise in F-sharp minor, and finishes up with a selection of 20th-century masterpieces by Rachmaninov, including two Preludes and five of the virtuosic Etudes-Tableaux.
