Pianist Evgeny Kissin teamed up with the Emerson String Quartet for a chamber music live recording from sold out Carnegie Hall, in April 2018. A super star fusion of musicians performing mesmerizing repertoire: an exquisite Fauré, a stormy Mozart and a sweepingly sensual Dvorák. This is a rare moment in which one of the world's most acclaimed pianists can be witnessed as a chamber musician. Thus, this recording, presenting Kissin and the ESQ performing chamber music repertoire, constitutes a novelty in DG's catalogue. With 9 Grammy awards and 3 Gramophone awards to date, the Emerson String Quartet bestrides the world of chamber music like a colossus. They are without a question among the world's most impressive string quartets and, founded in 1976, playing today as passionate and inquisitive as ever.
