Summary: Russian pianist Evgeny Kissin may be only 41, but such has been his astonishing career that he is already considered a legendary interpreter of acclaimed skill and insight and is now considered one of our age's most remarkable musicians. A child prodigy, he first recorded aged 13, and in the three decades since has embraced the monuments of the pianist's repertoire. Jon Tolansky catches up with him ahead of his recital at the Barbican next month.
