In my opinion, Evgeny Kissin's musical gifts and individuality have never been more apparent than on this CD. His technique is in top form (as always), and his ideas work brilliantly. The Sonata in F sharp minor Sonata is played convincingly, for once, and Kissin manages to hold together the grossly-overworked fandango rhythms in the first movement. The highlight of this disc, however, is Carnaval.
