In every note, in every chord, the composer is alive with her
Outstanding, incredible, spectacular... She delivers Beethoven like lightning delivers thunder. What else can be said of her performances but spectacular.
This level of focus is amazing. What a piece Beethoven wrote.
When the performer moves beyond technical mastery to sheer artistry.
A fine piece played by one of the greatest virtuosos in the world today.
my favorite pianist to watch! She's wonderful.
@@mmcd3182 "pianist to watch"
🙉
Lunita Musica well i mean watching her fingers move isn’t irrelevant lol
@Konstantin Ridaya 🖕😂😂😂😂🖕
only "Fine" piece? What do you mean
It's a superb piece composed by the best composer of all time played by a superb performer..
I never tire of her videos, no matter how many times I have watched them. She is even more mesmerizing in person. I have seen her twice in concert and talked to her. She is wonderful and so charming to talk to.
She's definitely a bonified bad ass pianist, and no doubt, one the best. However, she's still just like the rest of us...human. She made some mistakes which I was surprised to hear bc she's usually flawless, or so it seems. Well, I guess that proves that she is human lol. I don't put people on pedestals. She worked extremely hard to get where she is and I respect that even more than her extraordinary talent. I'm a talented sometiming piano player lol and I want her discipline and dedication more than her skill.
Let's just say I am jealous of you.
Ditto👌
You are very fortunate.
@@chrisbrown8351 and we have to remember that what matters the most is musicality, she can sometimes play wrong notes but she brings the pieces she plays to life. Music is not only playing the right notes.
Valentina at this Boessendorfer brings me the never forgotten performance of this Appasionata with Maestro Arrau in Bogotá 1962. There's not note that doesn't dive into the deepest of my soul. How she shines, Beethoven lives!!!
I was fortunate to see Claudio Arrau do an all Beethoven program in the late 60's at Carnegie Hall when I was a teenager. The Appasionata was my favorite of his brilliant concert. I'd love to see Valentina live!
Thank you Valentina! You are great!
I never get tired of this ending. It is just perfect, I want this to be played in my funeral.
I love that she appears at many free events and that there a many videos of her playing on the internet also for free. I would willing pay to see her play should she ever come remotely close to Texas. Beautiful music such as this is a gift for all humankind and should be shared.
No song has ever gave me goose bumps but this one. Truly amazing.
No one singing so it is not a song sorry :)
Diese Interpretin - sie war mir bisher nicht bekannt - werde ich mir merken! Was für eine Power in dieser Frau! Und diese superschnell flitzenden Finger, die neben dem atemberaubenden Tempo auch noch so viele immer neue Schattierungen hervorbringen - und alles vorgetragenen mit traumwandlerischer Sicherheit (so scheint es jedenfalls). Ich verneige mich.
That 2nd movement is so sweet, wedding worthy. I loved it! It was as if she was going to float up & off the piano bench & have an outer body experience. So breathtaking.
Beautiful Beethoven would be in tears❤️
Valentina knows how to play Beethoven and this piece on the Bösendorfer takes it to another level. I hope you can record all of Beethoven's piano works. God Bless!
Valentina Lisitsa. ist für mich einfach eine grandiose Pianistin! Immer virtuos und einfühlsam. Super!
This fine lady would drive the devil himself into oblivion. Best recording of this sonata I ever heard... Not sure I could ever get this tune out of my head practicing it all weeks long
Valentina Lisitsa plays like a mix of an angel and a stone-cracker. I just adore her!
The third movement is utterly sensational- it falls under the fingers so nicely and I love playing it - the rhythm is just addictive 😍👍🏻🍻🥃
The intensity is insane. Where do you go from here after a performance like this.... an inspiration Valentina.... Composer/interpreter/virtuoso combination.... OMG!
Wow, I had to watch the whole thing, I love her hand technique and expressions. Bravo
well done !
BRAVO ! Valentina
For those who point out a mistake or 2. Can you do better? This is beautiful and human. So passionate. She is a fierce angel. Thank you. I'm enraptured by this.
no one could care less, she is so passionate and those mistakes were approved by Beethoven :) he said that
Haters gonna hate..
I Can see she practised it to it got to an amazing level, but I have also been into music in many years, so a mistake, I will quickly spot and she did make them, but it’s normal. I don’t care that much abt the mistake, but I don’t thing she is playing it with that much feeling. I always had the problem with Valentina, that she makes some interesting choices in the pieces. Especially Chopins pieces. The etudes, she’s playing well, but the nocturnes has lost the feeling a bit. But to say it I love her when she’s playing Rachmaninoff, Liszt and Beethoven, because the feelings in their pieces are a bit stronger to play, with not that much feeling needed their pieces will sound amazing
World class pianists are top notch so you'd expect to hear flawless performance i.e. Lang Lang's 3rd mov of Appassionata. Frankly speaking, asking anyone "can you do better" is ignorant and somewhat pitiful. I don't think anyone claims she plays bad, it's just that the standard for such pianists is ridiculously high so every little mistake counts. Not that it ruins the performance, but being provided with an oppoturnity to listen a perfect, flawless recording is simply a huge bonus over this.
@@ghauptypically world class pianists dont hit all notes in longerpieces you are probably used to studio versions
I am completely captivated by this young artist. Her style is so
unorthodox and so exquisite. I'm completely spellbound watching and
listening to her play. She seemingly becomes possessed by the piece she
plays as her hands caress the keyboard in an unworldly dance. What a
treasure!

If 40's is old, then I must be Ancient! Even though the bones might hurt, Age is still in the mind!
I guess I'm at that age where 40 is still considered rather young. LOL Actually, I felt my personal best in my 40s.
I remember in conservatory school we had a debate about the prime age for a musician. My professor concluded 40's to mid 50's considering emotional maturity. Physical playing can be kept up if you take care of yourself.
Me too
Music from heaven, created by the greatest genius of the hisotry of music,played by a world top pianist - in a church. Nothing can be better. IN these dark period of the world: Keep calm and listen to Beethoven!
Say the greatest genius in Western classical. Music has many genre...
Amazing talent wow imagine the composer? BEETHOVEN was deaf at the time he composed so many ICONIC pieces.
This is one of my favourite Beethovens.
Such youthful power and energy ,joined with the depth of a seasoned Master. My favorite performance of this Sonata by someone of the current generation of virtuosi.
Ohh my Lord....wow!!! Great Perfomance!!!. Would like to see you in live sometime.
Viva Beethoven!.
La obra es perfecta, pero la impecable interpretación de ella le da vida. Valentina, lejos, la mejor intérprete de sus obras. La mejor pianista del mundo. Con todas las letras!
Your hands are magical Valentina. As your hands move on the keyboard, I feel as if I'm watching the most beautiful ballet dancer in the planet. Thanks you for posting this and many other of your performances. I'm an avid fan! This is by far the best interpretation of the "Appassionata" sonata that I've ever heard. We are blessed to be able to see and hear you. I'm always looking forward to seeing more of you. Take good care of yourself.
Thank you Rune for posting this, Valentina keeps my soul going for as long as she is around playing her beautiful music.
Here here Johannes!
This woman is a master pianist---just watching her is s lesson in craftmanship.
I have heard Valentina play the Rachmaninoff no. 2 op. 18 Concerto for Piano and Orchesta in México City. See is great. She plays perfect. Thank you Valentina.
This is a very difficult piece... I really enjoyed her performance; thank you !
She’s such a wonderful Beethoven interpreter, impeccable technique and weight as she plays, thanks for sharing!
Great composer, great pianist, great experience :)
This one is the best. Thank you, Valentina, for bring the great music to our relish.
Merveilleuse sonate de Beethoven et merveilleuse interprète que Valentina Lisitsa !
The woman is amazing. Thanks for posting this.
0 I 0000000⁰
É apaixonante ver e ouvir a Valentina tocando esta sonata.
Que legal ver que ainda tem brasileiro que ouve MÚSICA.
Thank you so much. I am a late beginner and went looking for Moonlight Sonata and found this brilliant pianist being photographed by someone that understands that after the sound it is a pianist's hands that matter.
oh woww this woman is playing such a peaceful piec- HOLY SHIT
Such passion, yet here is a piano caressed, with attitude, with feeling, in Ms Lisitsa's own inimitable way, holding our attention, every note. Let the last note not be the last, encore, encore!
Uma Performance maravilhosa, Parabéns a Pianista Valentina Lisitsa!!!!!.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THIS UPLOAD. UNBELIEVABLE . I WISH BEETHOVEN WAS ALIVE TO SEE HOW HIS MASTERPIECES ARE BEING PLAYED.
His pieces were played quite a bit during his lifetime, so it's not like he didn't get any recognition.
Yeah but it's 200+ years later...if he came back his ego would be a little inflated, and rightly so. Can't we clone shit these days. Let's bring him back, and Mozart while we're at it.
@@HunterBelkiran The piano sonatas, not so much. In fact, solo recitals didn't even become a "thing" until Liszt pioneered them, many years after Beethoven was dead.
@DankMemeKid That's a good point! I think the best chance of getting Beethoven back is time travel. lol
@DankMemeKid I know, because of entropy right? I hope whoever made that prediction is wrong. Because it would not only be awesome to go back to see Beethoven, but can you imagine being able to witness any moment in history or even pre-history like the dinosaurs? Maybe an advanced intelligence has figured it out.
It does not get any better than this. The number one pianist on the planet. A million thanks Valentina.
Of course there is no #1, but classical musicians are incomplete musicians. Jazz musicians compose and perform in simultaneity. Keith Jarrett is great at both.
Just different kinds of musicians. Improvising is a lot like finger-painting. Composing is like painting with a fine brush. Learning to trace the musical idea of someone else's fine-brush painting with exquisite exactitude and penetrating insight is equivalent to sculpture. Of course, the visual mediums don't demand the added challenge of performance pressure.
@@alexrichards2968 Improvisation is spontaneous thematic composition.
whar about lang lang
@@thaliarice3891 I meant that so-called "Classical" musicians are what's incomplete, not the music itself. "Classical" simply means that the music has survived its "popular" phase; true for both what you consider "Classical" and Jazz which, in fact, is America's "Classical" music. What is "popular" today is, of course, "pop" music and rap (which is not actually music at all, since it lacks melody). I've played music since the month before Woodstock, and I play all sorts of music, including "Classical" music, Jazz, Rock, etc. Try this: Question: "how do you get a Rock guitar player to stop playing"? Answer: "put some sheet music in front of him." Question: "how do you get a Classical violinist to stop playing"? Answer: "take away her sheet music." Question: "how do you get a Jazz saxophonist to stop playing"? Answer: "play a song in only one key." Most things that are funny are so because they contain an element of truth. Rock musicians are incomplete musicians, because (most of them) can't read music. Classical musicians are incomplete musicians because (most of them) cannot improvise. Jazz musicians are complete musicians, they can do both of these things. As to "sounds like crap," to YOU, I have no doubt that this is true, but the reason is that YOUR EARS are faulty. There's nothing wrong with Jazz. People who don't understand or "get' art (any kind of art) inevitably blame THE ART, instead of laying blame where it properly belongs: on their ability to rise up to the art and be elevated by it. Can YOU take the "Jazz challenge"? For some people, Jazz is an "acquired taste." They don't "hear" it, primarily because their ears are conditioned to ONLY hear (and like) other things. In your case, your ears are conditioned to ONLY "hear" "Classical" harmonies and rhythms which, in fact are generally MUCH SIMPLER than Jazz ones. 300 year old harmony (e.g., Mozart) uses simple harmonic concepts. Beethoven introduced flat 13ths, etc., and Charlie Parker (who listened to all sorts of "Classical" music) introduced these to Jazz 80 years ago now. Now, you tell me that THIS is "exhausting crap": ruclips.net/video/G2stYKZF-d4/видео.html BTW, "Classical" musicians used to improvise, but the (then nascent) publishing industry put a stop to it. There is a movement today to get them up to speed.
Очень эмоциональное исполнение.
Пробрало до мурашек....
Спасибо Валечка
A very personal interpretation of the great Beethoven, right down to improvisation!!
I love Beethoven's piano sonatas, but the audience seems to be 'analyzing' too much, with arms crossed and no smiles. She is so wonderful, enjoy!
I do agree. Too much analysis prevents from enjoying.
That’s not true, people who just smile and pretend like they’re enjoying music, do not understand the amount of effort being put into it. Solemnity and thinking is a way to show respect for the musician
Does anyone else hear the similarities between this piece and Beethoven's fifth symphony, which was composed about two year later? Amazing and mesmerizing. What a great performance.
Yeah
I didn't know this was before the 5th. I would have guessed way after the 5th.
yeah, it's got the ///------, in a manner of speak.
Дорогая Валентина, признаюсь Вам, к прослушиванию Вашего исполнения Аппассионаты готовил себя очень тщательно, волновался: услышу ли то что хочу услышать или это будет "женское" исполнение. Ибо за свою жизнь прослушал кажется всех известных мастеров и уже ушедших и ныне здравствующих. Поэтому меня трудно было бы чем то удивить. Но волнение по этому поводу оказалось напрасным. Услышал я то, что хотел услышать - страстное, напористое, огненное, блистательное , одним словом мастерское исполнение. Спасибо.
Дай Вам Бог сил, вдохновения радовать долго-долго любителей классики.
Душевно Ваш Вадим Ильич.
Breathless ! Amazing performance ! tks for sharing !
Спасибо, Валентина! Потрясающе продуманное исполнение!
Valentina......il tramonto di una sublime pianista, errori di espressione , diteggiatura e di note
una grande artista soffre quando non esprime in modo corretto una esecuzione pianistica,io esprimo comunque tutta la mia ammirazione, perche' resta e restera' per sempre una tra le migliori che il mondo concertistico abbia mai avuto. Onore a Valentina Lisitsa
my favourite pianist
Bravissimo! She's perfect and I'm pretty sure Beethoven agrees. Thank you so much.
Валентина Лисица is the best!
Listening to this for the first time. Very dramatic and light-full. Slow dramatic pace for a pleasant evening on the terrace. Very cool,!
This woman is out of this universe. Period.
My favorite Beethoven sonata. That transition into the intensity of the 3rd movement gives me chills everytime.
Same here! The third movement is sensational and falls so nicely under the fingers 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🍻
Thank you Thank you. She is the GREATEST.
Just Right! She's The ONE!
Excellent work and performance. Thank`s.
OMG!! That was breathtaking!!! ❤️❤️❤️
MARAVILLOSA VALENTINA. GRAN VERSION DE LA APPASSIONATA , Mi preferida de Beethoven.
Outstanding! Magnificent!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
Valentina is the Glenn Gould of the distaff side of piano virtuosi - all in for creativity and not one kopek for posture. I'm still playing the adagio but without adequate technique and a professional left hand you don't stand a chance. Wonderful performance.
Sam and Carlos preempted what I was about to say. Amazing performance of the Sonata # 3 - I don't know whether I should keep practicing or give up in despair after your performance. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for these videos, would love it if you uploaded her encores too.
Done :-)
I loved this performance, very nice!
Brava! I was pleasantly surprised to see she got credit (for her incredible 3rd mov't, no doubt) in a new documentary I just saw.
Ona leqenda!!! Ona brilliant!!!! Fantastika,kosmopolit . Valentina,ti fenomen!!! Azərbaycan Bakı Saida xanım .
Wow. Fantastic playing. And her in black makes great images.
Sublime sonata merveilheuse Valentina est grand l´emotion
Great pianist, wonderful interpretation.
Valentina Lisitsa, vous êtes absolument extraordinaire ❤🙏😇
Love the intensity.
Extraordinaria y exquisita interpretación,me deleita escucharla.
What an incredible interpretation of this piece! THIS is how I would like to play it.
La Divina Valentina! Thanks for upload this Incredible Rendition! The third Movement it's Amazing on her hands!!! (17:10 aproximadamente)
Desiderio Reyso g
Free for audience and free for us. What a wonderful treat.
Back to see this again! So inspiring! 🙏🏼🌺🌼🌸🙏🏼
There is what can be mechanistically taught and then there is the 'flow' that exists in some. Rare individuals whose abilities in performing seem to meld them and the instrument together, to produce a symbiosis which transcends time. Genius .....
Merci Valentina: je suis fan!
Such a extreme pleasure to listen to her! I dont care at all about few mistakes or slips.
Hobott nobody cares, you dont need to point it out
@@alexgu177 i care. wasnt expecting so many mistakes in a famous Bethoven piece from Valentina!
i guess she wasnt really feeling this piece, or she had other things on her mind. but it is a shame and hard to listen to.
@Lox TYRRELL [11S1] lol...
eat my shorts kid.
@@CT2507 I agree...plenty of them. In my opinion, Lang Lang's interpretation is far more superior.
@@saptaksoctave8068 I love Brendel´s version
She is brilliant. I cant't get enough of her rendition of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. Her fingers move impossibly fast ...but not for her.
I only recently discovered her!
Bravo Valentina!!
she is playing in the house of worship.
Валюша поздравляю вас с днем рождения, здоровья, благополучия, денег и творческих успехов
She played for free? What a classy, generous person.
Incredible playing, recording, and camerawork.
Thank you for sharing this performance!
от русских низкий вам поклон за ваше неземное творчество дарованное с небес )))))
От болгарских тоже!
На мой взгляд , в первой части было допущено не менее 3 -х ,,ляпсусоа " . Но валентина , бесспорно , талант и у нее еще все впереди . Начало хорошее .
.... Валя проникновенна... клевое исполнение...
Valentina is a real pioneer in showing excellence in piano audio and visual recording.
I often wonder how the history books will tell her story; and, does she compose/write? She must, because of her education at the school for gifted musicians. Nonetheless, it will be a beautiful story. What an epiphany it must have been when she realized she was carving new territory, & to just step into her role & own it. We are so blessed to witness this, I almost weep to know that the creator cares for us so much. It gets sweeter & sweeter as the days go by. Um. See what God has done!
Michael....yup!
Michael, please spare others with this religious intoxication - that lady surely plays wonderfully, thanks to years of practise, practice, practise, endless practice, and maybe a pinch of genes. No superiour bla-bla involved, just own responsibility. And she is still one of my favorites on the piano.
.... ну,Валентина,.... спасибо,что Вы есть...
The filiming of her playing is always sensational.
This woman doesn't play Beethoven. It's as if she channels him. Is that crazy? I love her.
Every note can be heard, beautiful.
I love her !!!
