When Evgeny Kissin performed rarely heard piano works by lesser-known Jewish composers and recited Yiddish poetry at the Kennedy Center in 2014, the occasion was praised by audiences and critics alike. Mikhail Milner’s dramatic “Farn opsheyd” (“Before Separating”) reflects the influence of Scriabin. Jewish folk themes and hints of Debussy and Ravel make Alexander Krein’s Suite dansée extraordinarily unique; Jewish themes also play a seminal part in Bloch’s Piano Sonata. Interspersed between the musical selections, Kissin reads portions of poems by Yiddish writer Yitzhak-Leybush Peretz.
