The best interpretation in my opinion, on the internet. Full of intricacies and played beautifully by a stunning, virtuoso pianist. Bravo and merry Christmas Valentina.
Man. Your Beethoven really reaches me. I wish I had the vocabulary or the subtle perception to say what it is. It's like being in a conversation that is captivating.
In my opinion, Valentina Lisitsa plays Beethoven as well, and usually better than any of the greatest piano virtuoso's I've ever heard! And I believe Her interpretation of Chopin, Liszt, and others are equally as sterling. In any case, she is my favorite pianist of all time. Merry Christmas, Valentina!
In my opinion, she sits at the right-hand side of the musicality-chops spectrum and has some of the most accurate and articulate reference recordings. On the left-hand side of this spectrum, we find pianists like Horowitz and Arrau, where musicality is prioritized over chops. For me, the middle balance is achieved by pianists such as Pogorelich and Giltburg. In personal taste, it's not that pianists anywhere on this spectrum are "better" than others; the middle pianists are simply in the optimal middle of the interpretive spectrum. All of this of course subjective. I'd like to hear Lisitsa on Bach - I think her style would lead to some pretty fascinating recordings in the larger bach cycles.
Ciao Valentina. Really a wonderful performance. Beethoven is suspended between music an poetry. Your hands more than playing arre dancing on the keyboard. You looks as beautiful as a Madonna painted by Giovanni Bellini. Thanks for so much beauty, for so many and deep emotions
You do what you love to do. You'll never get any criticism from me. You also bring joy to others with your beautiful playing. I grew up with this music and it brings back good memories of childhood.
Gracias, Valentina, por aceptar el reto de grabar las Sonatas de Beethoven. Creo que una pianista de tu capacidad y talento tiene mucho y muy bueno que aportar a este impresionante corpus. Te seguiremos, claro que sí. Y gracias de nuevo. 👏👏👏
Dear Valentina, i've been following your content for more than a year right now. I'm 15 and your talent captivated me a lot and since i showed the Rach Concertos to my mom she became a fan too. We admire how much have you practiced, and the passion of the performances. Actually can't find another best present to listen in our home for Christmas than your works avaivable in Spotify, (specially The Nutckacker) and Beethoven Sonatas. Would like to buy the Chopin CD or Tchaikovsky Complete Works because i'm saving enough money for it (i have a scholarship of an amount of money, thanks to my good marks). Hugs from Chile, wish you the best in the Victoria Hall and i'll be so glad if one day you come to here
Sí, yo tengo la beca presidente de la república, aunque igual existe la indígena que entrega dinero, usualmente uso ese dinero para comprar fruta o alimentos en el supermercado, incluso ayuda a pagar la cuenta del agua pero en este momento intento ahorrar para comprar algo de música, sería genial reproducir unos de los CD de ella en la radio. Gracias!
@@joseluisnunezrivera3615 ahh si cierto! :) Valentina también es de mis pianistas favoritas, me alegra que inviertas tu dinero en buena música... es una pena que la radio Beethoven ya no exista
Hi Valentina! You have no ideia how great it is been to follow this Beethoven Sonatas series!! I am an avid fan of Beethoven's music, specially the sonatas. I try to listen to as many interpretations as I can (Arrau, Backhaus, Brendel, Barenboim etc.), they are so many, so different, but equally interesting. You are a great "beethovian" too. Thank you so much for the videos (they are also some kind of masterclasses for those of us who try to play this pieces). Best wishes from this brazilian fan.
Buongiorno Meraviglia Sei Fantastica Sei Super , una Star !! Sei una Fata 🌷🍀 Sei la mia preferita in assoluto Grazie per questo nuovo incantevole regalo 💝
Her technique is getting better and better (as absurd as this sounds, as it's always been effortless..), but beyond this, her musicianship has reached a height that only the greatest of pianistic 'titans' had.. I dream of her teaching me as I dreamed (and still do) of Argerich doing so..
I was in blissful sound heaven when suddenly a truck commercial blasted it's hideous dissonance in my ear! Nothing short of musical blasphemy! But I managed to find my back. Thanks Valentina, and Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎄🌟⛄❄ love from 🇨🇦
It's Valentina, and always will be, I can't find a comment that describes how I feel on listening to your playing ,, Bless you dear precious jewel of piano.
At Christmas the Baby Jesus is reborn, Valentina brings all of us back to life with her wonderful way of interpreting great pianists. Grazie Valentina e Buon Natale❤️❣️😘
I'm not sure why people don't like Valentina Lisitsa's interperetations of pieces. I do prefer a few others renditions of Lizsts compositions but I feel that Valentina plays in a way that is totally different than most other classical artists and while I feel maybe less emotionally connected with a few pieces, I think the unfamiliarity and way that she borrows time changes the nature of the composition in an artistic and creative way. I'm glad that she adds a dimension to the music I've never seen before. Just because something is different doesn't mean it's bad, she just found another way to play the same thing and just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it isn't masterfully played.
What is impressive is the weight you give each note. They are even, not rushed, yet expressive. Beautifully done. Haydn is still my favorite. A request, if you would. Please play Haydn HOB XVI/ no. 32. I would very much like to hear your interpretation.
Phenomenal! Valentina, I have your Rachmaninov Concerts on CD, and Beethoven will follow. I wish your merry Christmas. and MANY, MANY STRENGHT for this great endeavour!!
Всегда рады видеть Вас в Донецке!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Вас здесь очень любят и помнят! Очень надеюсь в этом году увидеть и услышать "Реквием". С уважением! 👏👏👏👏👏💫💫💫💫💫🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Awesome: This for you is simple fun. As I wrote earlier, beethoven's music is surrounded by mystery and you bring this mystery wonderfully. Congratulations.
@@ValentinaLisitsaQOR You play that way because you have fun. Despite Bethoven's troubled life, he was internally a being of great stature, an embodied master, just to hear the end of the Ninth Symphony. I always follow your interpretations. You can be more amazing than Barenboim. Seeing you smiling in your interpretations is very cool. I'm your fan and period.

So much desire to like the whole piece yet definitely glimpse the boredom time to time. Ahh it really hurts sometimes. Hurts to be a vituoso and forced to play things that you are not in mood of.
Congratulations to you Valentina! I really appreciate all your videos! Thank you for keep posting after long period. Please come to Brazil some day to play in São Paulo! I'd love to see your presentation in live.
Clara Haskil, Elly Ney, Annie Fisher , Tatjana Nikolaeva, ...Maria Gudina, ... That are the women who come to my mind when I listen to Valentina. Almost anything I have heard from her is fantastic. There are a few exceptions when she is not happy with herself and you can see that when she forbids comments :) But for Beethoven she must not be concerned about any bad performance. When she plays Beethoven, it is not the artistry, it is the music which catches me. Really amazing to detect each time a new detail, a new source of joy. In this sonata opus 2/2 her musicality is inspiring. It makes you want to play yourself. (I have done so with 2/1 and 2/3, I got never warm with 2/2, but that will change now.) I am wondering: it would be nice to have a collection of videos, like it was in times of Karajan. I prefer the appearance in studio to a recital appearance when everything must be glossy and shiny. In this video I get the impression how she feels the music and that is much more important than a fancy evening dress. I hope to meet her in person, maybe at Bösendorfer, when she returns to Vienna once more.
I can't wait for this! Valentina plays with such grace. I wonder if she like Yanni, I love his music and passion for playing too. You're so awesome Lady Lisitsa. 💗💗💗
As Valentina says, the most reason to upload monochrome version is poor light quality of studio soffits light. This light quality caused poor color rendering of video.

One of the most underrated Beethoven sonatas imo
Perfect! Valentina is real virtuose. She is not playing beethoven ,she is feel him.
Absolutely agree!
17:45 surprises me every time. What a fun genius Beethoven was. One of my favorite moments in music. It makes me dance around.
Dear Valentina, you come from another planet! You are the Supernova of Music! I am grateful to time of being a contemporary of yours!
The best interpretation in my opinion, on the internet. Full of intricacies and played beautifully by a stunning, virtuoso pianist. Bravo and merry Christmas Valentina.

Beethoven for ever!!!!

She is fav pianist too
@@joseluisnunezrivera3615 , right on, young Sir!
She certainly deserves to be ranked amoung the World's greatest living pianists
The way her fingers dance over the keys is like liquid such supple control.
In my opinion, she sits at the right-hand side of the musicality-chops spectrum and has some of the most accurate and articulate reference recordings. On the left-hand side of this spectrum, we find pianists like Horowitz and Arrau, where musicality is prioritized over chops.

She plays all the pieces by heart, with the best interpretation, no matter what she plays, amazing!

Lo malo es que no sé mucho como funcionan las compras online, menos en Amazon, tendré que pedir ayuda a mi hermano mayor jajaj
Qué rico ver que chile está presente! Sigue descubriendo el mundo de la música clásica. Lisitsa es una increíble pianista!

Grabar las 32 sonatas para piano de Beethoven, eso sí es una tarea monumental, felicidades Valentina, excelente regalo para navidad
I seriously wish I could upvote this twice. This is so wonderful and makes me want her to come out with all the rest of his sonatas yesterday.
I may not be recognised as a popular fan of yours but to be honest, my soul is offered to your hands
So fresh and full of life and excitement.
This sounds so fresh and alive! It is a long time since I was so taken with a performance. I listened again and the magic is still there. Bravo!
An amazing performance by Valentina Lisitsa.
Buongiorno Meraviglia
Sei Fantastica
Sei Super , una Star !!
Sei una Fata 🌷🍀
Sei la mia preferita in assoluto
Grazie per questo nuovo

Здорово! Просто замечательно! Лучшее исполнение, которое я слышал
С нетерпением жду третью, а особенно, четвертую.

That tempo in the first movement amazingly and crisply executed!
What a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve. Listening to my favourite pianist. Amazing playing as ever.
feeling the power of the notes while playing

Wow, so dramatic, beautiful! I love that you place such recordings on RUclips! THANKS! ❤
came back a year later, just as beautiful 😍❤️! thanks and merry christmas 🎄!
Beautiful and lively too! Love her playing. And love to see her smiles as she sings the notes and her fingers fly!
아름다운 선율에 취하고 미모에 반합니다♡

As always, excellent tempos on one of my favorite early Beethoven sonatas! Thank you very much for this wonderful performance.
Thank you Valentina, I remembered when I was younger and studied this, wonderful, bright, cheerful, your interpretation is unbeatable.✨✨✨
Great. Love the early sonatas of the young Beethoven.
It was a happy night. Thank you~
¡Qué bien que haya tantas y excelentes intérpretes!
Valentina es una de las mejores.
what an amazing performance Valentina.
Tellement juste. Très belle interprétation comme à l'habitude, bravo!!!
I've never heard this sonata before, but it is so musically interesting and beautiful!
Especially 2th movement

Awesome: This for you is simple fun. As I wrote earlier, beethoven's music is surrounded by mystery and you bring this mystery wonderfully. Congratulations.
@@ValentinaLisitsaQOR amazing. Liszt was pretty correct about his apreciations of the level of difficulties of the sonatas.
hammerklavier is hella difficult wow
