Since his international debut as an astonishing child prodigy in the early 1980s, Evgeny Kissin has matured into one of the finest piano virtuosos of the age. His phenomenal keyboard technique and impeccable artistry continue to astound and amaze audiences and critics alike, leading The Washington Post to call Kissin "one of the world's greatest artists". Kissin continues his fruitful relationship with EMI Classics with this new recording of two of Mozart's most famous piano concerti: Nos.20 in D minor and 27 in B-flat Major. This electrifying recording, with Kissin conducting the orchestra Kremerata Baltica from the keyboard, is one that his legion of admirers is certain to embrace. This is Kissin's first recording as both pianist and conductor. Kissin won the 2009 Grammy® Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra for his recording of Prokofiev: Piano Concertos Nos.2 & 3 with the Philharmonia Orchestra, led by Vladimir Ashkenazy. This is his second Grammy® in five years (2005 -- Best Instrumental Soloist for Scriabin, Medtner, Stravinsky).
