"How can you say why you love something? You don't need reasons, you just love." Evgeny Kissin is irritated by the question of why he loves Dmitri Shostakovich. He owes this to his parents, who had a recording of his 1st Piano Concerto in their record cabinet. Young Evgeny fell in love with this music immediately. A love that continues to this day and that will shape both of the portrait artist's concerts at the Ruhr Piano Festival 2025 - the year that marks the 50th anniversary of Shostakovich's death.
