I have been listening to all of Valentinas performances for over 10 years now. I am a lover of all music. Rap, rock, metal, blues, and all classical. I've always loved classical pianists the most. I've tried to listen to who the critics say are the best, but nobody comes close to touching the soul like Valentina. This woman has no equal. You would have to be insane to criticize her in favor of any other pianist in the world. I've compared her to all. There is no comparison. I will continue to listen to her performances over and over forever. It will continue to get me through the tough times in life.
I listen to this all this time, and normally the coughing doesn't bother me. But today, for some reason, it has been frustrating to listen to. But lol. True.
There was a video on the internet this morning. A lady had a piano out in the countryside, in I assume Africa.She was playing Movement two of Beethoven's Pathetique for an elephant, who stood there beside her listening and making a musical sound. It made me gloriously happy. Nothing is more beautiful than Movement two of Beethoven's Sonata No. 8.
@@therealconniefrancis I was going to say this is unusual slower than I expected her to play it. But she picks up tempo later. I think a lot of Beethoven is played too slow in general. Remember his was a student of Mozart, and contemporary composers also wrote fast sonatas. The piece suddenly opens up and you hear some Liszt and Chopin in it! Playing Beethoven slowly bring its own set of problems, the fingering becomes a case of perfect timing and you get some strange Bossa Nova rhythms into it, to get your timing right.
Fingers gotta play. Ears gotta hear. Throats gotta cough. It's nature, man, even though it's annoying. And besides, at some point in our lives we will all play the role of the cougher, to our embarrassment and discomfort. You all know it's true.
Bravo! As for me, Beethoven's work is absolutely about "time and tempo". IMO, Valentina Lisitsa is the most accomplished pianist of any I've heard (I'm 69 years old and heard many), and whose interpretation is flawless (Beethoven and others)! Her interpretation of Sonata, OP 27, Mov 1, 2 & 3 shows this as much as any other Beethoven's work. Ms. Lisitsa proves her expertise in time and tempo with her rendition of Moonlight Sonata above ALL pianist throughout 'recording' history.
Krystian Zimmerman! This is what is said about him: Music for Krystian Zimerman is the art of organizing emotions in time. The Polish pianist's interpretations of everything from Beethoven and Chopin to Schubert and Szymanowski reveal infinite expressive subtleties and the underlying clarity of his story-telling through music. Zimerman's place among today's greatest artists remains not least on the freshness and originality of his performances, always intensely personal and prepared in meticulous detail. He may study a work for decades, exploring every facet and contemplating its meaning before introducing it to his recital repertoire or taking it into the studio. His approach belongs to a dynamic process of creative evolution, one in which self-criticism, deep reflection and intuition play significant parts. “The final thing - that which art is made of - happens in the concert hall,” he notes.
My huge and sincere THANK YOU for that wonderfull cough. I liked how its upper tones reverbs within the halls walls filling room with passionate feeling of scratching inside ones ill throat. Blessed throat. It makes me envy.
Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi, à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction
@@Beethmusdt.....para quienes no lo conocen: nada. Una interpretación...un hacer mío aquello que sólo está anotado....lo recogemos quienes nos identificamos con el intérprete....no con su autor. Por cuestiones ideológicas todo lo perdemos....hasta la decencia.
I do not believe I have ever heard this played with such a high degree of expression - throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed this performance by Ms. Lisitsa. Her dexterity was impressive, as usual. Ron
Одна из самых прекраснейших сонат за всю историю фортепианной музыки!... Исполнение - за гранью возможного!... Эта интерпретация - на уровне гениальности!
I noticed that if you listen to this video more often you start thinking the coughing belongs to the music. You almost wait for it to happen...It must be difficult for artists like Valentina to concentrate with these disturbances. Usually the coughing is filtered out later on when the rocordings are planned to be sold. I would love to hear the filtered version... :-)
Manji Yes but actually when I listened to the video I only heard 1 cough because I was so concentrated on what she was playing, so, it might be the same for her ^^
I only consciously heard one cough, towards the end of the Grave introduction, and only started 'hearing' the others after reading some comments whilst I was listening!
Everything she has video'd on UTube is the absolute best performance of the piece of all the others-she is a force of nature on the piano. Doesn't go for the over the top facial expressions as she plays-it's all in her hands and all about the music. Her technique, nuanced interpretation of various passages, tempi choices are all SO inspiring! Bravissima Valentina!
I love watching her face and the sheer joy she gets from playing. La Campanella is also an incredible performance by this truly amazing pianist. Brava, Madam Lisitsa, brava!!
I did not think it was physically humanly possible to actually play this. How brilliant Beethoven was to work out how something that complicated could be managed by two hands. And, let's not forget to say how utterly amazing Valentina is here.
I wish I could like this a million times. Technically masterful, and with a vulnerable intimacy that makes you feel this is coming straight from the heart. Brava!!!
My mother played it which made our house tremble followed by absolute sweetness. Bringing tears in our eyes like rain after a thunderstorms, we boys stood amazed with pride of our mom. It was one of her favorite.
In order for anyone to be able to play magnificent classical pieces perfectly are on another level of consciousness and are automatically at the level of genius and brilliance I think 🤔!!! Thank you Valentina my friend... .. bravo!
Valentina, You are a genius. I am a musician myself, but never have heard any perfomance like that. You give unbeleivable presence of all color feelings in your interpretation of music. Only genius performers can bring so much passion as if they live a bright and interesing life at this moment in music and each one who is listening to it lives this life too-) Браво!
Милая Валентина! Вы просто чудо! Уж кто, как не женщина смогла понять Бетховена! Наделенная теми же страстями, как и мужчина, но способная понять, утешить! Если бы со мной кто мог так разговаривать,как Вы с музыкой - я была наисчастливейшим человеком! Успехов Вам!
Валентина, слушаю сотни раз ваше исполнение, ваши руки - это нечто! Можно смотреть бесконечно! До слез! Благодарю вас! Вы дарите людям такое наслаждение!!! Брависсимо!!!!
Il watched it 1 million Times and still have chills Valentina I juste love the way you play I am fan fan fan its just perfection even silences between notes are beautiful
I played all three movements and performed them. They are very beautiful. And she plays them masterfully, not only technically but with so much Beethoven Emotion.
Valentina, the way you smile when you play... I imagine it’s because you enjoy sharing your passion with folks who wouldn’t hear it otherwise. I love the way you play. I love even more to see your character shine through the music. It brightens my day a lot. This is how I like to play... to share the music. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Valentina - I played this when I was 14. I was mechanically adept but did not understanding feeling. 3 wives have told me I don't have feeling. You have the feeling. I love your playing, please keep it on RUclips so I can enjoy.
I'm learning this piece rn, so I came here to make sure I had the counting right. I just have one question, HOW IS IT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE TO PLAY THAT FAST. This is amazing
Ive been hearing this piece since i was in the womb. I personally think she plays the first and third movements way too fast and appears to alter some of the notes. Might must be me. I know she is talented so... I just don’t think this is her best piece.
@@theodorecrosby9476 great job!! i think the first movement is the most challenging, because of all the jumps, but its so fun to play when you finally get it
This is superb playing and Beethoven would be most pleased. I now hope she will post the Liszt sonata in B minor which she played along with the Pathetique during her current 2014 European tour.
+ruben3k4 "Do you even grammar?" Do YOU ??? You're insulting one the best pianists in the world, a 42 year old woman who's been a US citizen for over 22 years and her grammar is better than yours ! Her grammar is only slightly off, while your reply literally makes no sense and isn't even a sentence . LOL Oh, the irony. In fact, her grammar is just as charming with her minor mistakes as her Russian accent is, from growing up in Kiev.and I for one , hope she never loses it. You really need to work on your own grammar and stop trying to be a smartass.
As a pianist myself learning to play this beautiful Sonata my mind was totally focused on the pianist and her artistic interpretation. If people are coughing they need to so lets show empathy and compassion and instead express appreciation and gratitude for this beautiful performance by a gifted pianist.
Эта заигранная пианистами соната в руках Валентины зазвучала как новая. Слушается на одном дыхании. Хорошо слышны все голоса, при таком быстром темпе! Прекрасно исполнена медленная часть! Десятки лет не мог понять, что интересного в этой сонате - почтенной, хрестоматийной, но не задевающей. А теперь слушаю в исполнении Валентины раз за разом и не могу наслушаться. Наверное, так и Бетховен ее исполнял.
3 Uhr Morgens, komme soeben von Deinem Konzert im Prinzregententheater in München zurück. Es war magisch! Himmlische Magie! Was für eine Kraft! So viel Gefühl! Du sitzt am Klavier, spielst die schwierigsten Stücke, manchmal mit einem Lächeln, als würdest Du gemütlich und gut gelaunt im Sommerwind durch die Landschaft radeln, so, als gäbe es nichts Leichteres als Klavier zu spielen. Deine Livekonzerte, immer wieder ein Genuss zum Zuschauen und Zuhören. Man spürt, Du liebst Deine Musik und Deine Gäste. Danke! Ganz liebe Grüße auch an Deinen Mann und Deinen Sohn! Gott segne Euch! Nun versuche ich, das Ganze mit meinen fast nicht vorhandenen Englischkenntnissen und mithilfe von LEO ins Englische zu übersetzen: Now, i try to translate in english, with my nearly inexistent command of english and with the aid of LEO (wordbook): 3 o'clock in the morning, this minutes i come back from your Concert in Munich. It was magic! Heavenly magic! What a power! So much feeling! You're sitting on the piano, playing most compliceted pieces, sometimes with a smiling mien, as if you would cycle good-humored in the summerwind throu the landscape, like, as if were nothing easier than playing piano. Your live concerts, over and over again a enjoyment for watching and listening. I can feel, you love your music and your guests. Thank you very much! Kind regards also to your husband and your son! God bless you all! kind regards Michael
Ooohhhh!!! Ooouuuuu . . . The interpretation of the 2nd movement, oh my, the delicate parts were SWEET!!!!! The diminuendos were exqusitly melted into silence. Just like cotton candy. My goodness!!
This is by far my favourite rendition of Pathetique. Valentina, your skills are beyond words. Your precision, your meticulous care for the notes, the emotion you put in, and with such ease as if your fingers just 'dance' on the keys. I am always speechless after watching your videos (and also starting to think you may not be from this world! haha). I have watched a lot of your videos and thoroughly enjoyed them all, any chance you're coming to Melbourne (Australia) anytime soon?
I agree. This piece is a wonderful piece to put so much emotion into especially if you put Beethovens story behind it and tell the story with your soul. It's so much fun to play, but I will truly never feel this piece as much as she does!!!
Valentina lisitsa you know how the real music is composed and also how to know which music is real and which is not. I like the way you play because you play very natural I feel a person with humility.
Excellent playing of this wonderful sonata (spoilt by the coughing as people have already said but nonetheless I was able to concentrate on most of the performance).
I know it’s a technical comment, but I really just want to say it anyway... She goes to the very very last note for all her trills...and even in all the other videos she has...she has the most exquisite trills ever... And then the arpeggios in this piece are sick. I really appreciate your hard work. I’m just blown away how effortless it is. I love also how you made the Sonata breathe at the right places. Bravo bravo
Благодарю!!! Вот так еще можно исцелять людей! Все тягости этой жизни отходят, когда слушаю вас!.. Попадаешь в какой-то Совершенный, другой, настоящий и Живой мир!!! 👏🇷🇺 Новокузнецк❤️
This is incredibly beautiful...listened to it every night on WNIB Chicago...I remember Harry,art teacher/school principal and his wife Carolyn, genius piano player from Dearborn,Michigan: 1972.Sure hope Jesus Christ shows up soon! Love is forever!💝
Being a huge fan of Chopin and generally don't feel too much about Beethoven's long/monumental pieces, this Sonata in c minor is solidly one of my favorite piece for solo piano and Valentina played it beautifully
Valentina, again you played this beautifully and you play this sonata so elegantly with so much expression in all 3 movements. 1st movement is the best!!!
So effortlessy well played ;_; and I'm so happy to finally listen to your performance because in one week I'll be competing in a piano competition with the 3rd movement
You're very very very talented! thankyou for playing such a beautiful song.. this is one of my favourites from Beethoven! and you got me in awe! Amazing! - forever your fans -

They were coughing cuz of the coronavirus
So kind of her to give a concert to terminally ill tuberculosis patients!
Ok this comment takes the prize😂😂😂

0:00 - 1:34 -> Music goes slow and calm
1:35 *cough*
Piano instantly gets mad
How perfect timing
1:34, my favorite cough. Perfect timing, Beethoven would be proud.
He will not even hear the cough :(
It disturbs me how your username is "Piano Adventure" but your profile picture is a tenor clef xD
@@timothyragland4190 Why is that? 😂😂 What do you had in mind?:DD 😂🙈 Playing a piece with a tenor clef on a piano truly is an adventure xD
The person who coughed there was thinking "Polite people cough in the break." So he did.
PianoAdventure please stay home if you're not ok
Wonderful performance, The only thing missing was the sound of the gunshot taking out the coughing person.
LMFAO

Thanks. You should add the moments the patient starts coughing

I am always amazed at her style of playing. She makes it look effortless and I know it is not. She is by far one of my favorites.
I've been listening to this composition every single day after I wake up for so long I can't imagine my life without this piece
1st Mvt = Grave - Allegro di Molto e con Brio -> 0:00;
2nd Mvt = Adagio Cantabile -> 8:06;
3rd Mvt = Rondo: Allegro -> 12:52.
you forgot the cough Mvt

True, its annoying. Why would someone stay and cough the whole time!
You're so Pathétique!
Captain Chicken at least you tried
I KNOW!! If you are ill, STAY HOME, don't go to concerts and ruin it for everybody
I love the way she plays with real clarity, the "fortissimo" parts are music and not the usual rumble other pianists produce
I agree...you can practically hear every note.... beautiful

For me, she can do no wrong, but the piano tuner needs a kick up the arse, as there are one or two jangly notes.

I'm sure Beethoven never specified a direction such as "Audience member coughing his lungs out" at the end of the Grave section...
That's ridiculous. The direction would necessarily be in Italian: _Membro del pubblico che tossisce i polmoni_
Well the consequences are certainly quite Grave
LMAO

Lots and lots and lots of practice.
This is superb playing and Beethoven would be most pleased. I now hope she will post the Liszt sonata in B minor which she played along with the Pathetique during her current 2014 European tour.
+ValentinaLisitsa Do you even grammar?
+ruben3k4 "Do you even grammar?"
Do YOU ??? You're insulting one the best pianists in the world, a 42 year old woman who's been a US citizen for over 22 years and her grammar is better than yours ! Her grammar is only slightly off, while your reply literally makes no sense and isn't even a sentence . LOL Oh, the irony. In fact, her grammar is just as charming with her minor mistakes as her Russian accent is, from growing up in Kiev.and I for one , hope she never loses it. You really need to work on your own grammar and stop trying to be a smartass.

As a pianist myself learning to play this beautiful Sonata my mind was totally focused on the pianist and her artistic interpretation. If people are coughing they need to so lets show empathy and compassion and instead express appreciation and gratitude
for this beautiful performance by a gifted pianist.
If they have tuberculosis they should fucking LEAVE and go die in a ditch
The demons are coughing in the background, trying to disrupt this angle's concentration. They did not succeed.
angel* :P
angle* duhh
Bagel's*
You are moron.
yes sometimes I feel the people go only to the concert to cough around there terrible
Gran dominio de la técnica. Sintesis perfecta entre pianista y compositor. Bravo Lisitsa.
Эта заигранная пианистами соната в руках Валентины зазвучала как новая. Слушается на одном дыхании. Хорошо слышны все голоса, при таком быстром темпе! Прекрасно исполнена медленная часть!
Десятки лет не мог понять, что интересного в этой сонате - почтенной, хрестоматийной, но не задевающей.
А теперь слушаю в исполнении Валентины раз за разом и не могу наслушаться.
Наверное, так и Бетховен ее исполнял.
La mejor versión sin discusión ninguna, bajo mi modesta opinión.
3 Uhr Morgens, komme soeben von Deinem Konzert im Prinzregententheater in München zurück. Es war magisch! Himmlische Magie! Was für eine Kraft! So viel Gefühl! Du sitzt am Klavier, spielst die schwierigsten Stücke, manchmal mit einem Lächeln, als würdest Du gemütlich und gut gelaunt im Sommerwind durch die Landschaft radeln, so, als gäbe es nichts Leichteres als Klavier zu spielen. Deine Livekonzerte, immer wieder ein Genuss zum Zuschauen und Zuhören. Man spürt, Du liebst Deine Musik und Deine Gäste. Danke!
Ganz liebe Grüße auch an Deinen Mann und Deinen Sohn! Gott segne Euch!
Nun versuche ich, das Ganze mit meinen fast nicht vorhandenen Englischkenntnissen und mithilfe von LEO ins Englische zu übersetzen:
Now, i try to translate in english, with my nearly inexistent command of english and with the aid of LEO (wordbook):
3 o'clock in the morning, this minutes i come back from your Concert in Munich. It was magic! Heavenly magic! What a power! So much feeling! You're sitting on the piano, playing most compliceted pieces, sometimes with a smiling mien, as if you would cycle good-humored in the summerwind throu the landscape, like, as if were nothing easier than playing piano. Your live concerts, over and over again a enjoyment for watching and listening. I can feel, you love your music and your guests. Thank you very much!
Kind regards also to your husband and your son! God bless you all!
kind regards
Michael
Du bist ein glücklicher Mensch, diese Erfahrung gemacht zu haben.
I wait for this Sonata since so long. I'm so happy to listen your version, just before sleep, it's perfect :) Thanks !
i am bout to go to bed and felt like listening to this. Good call :). Hug to you nodame ^^
This is my favorite interpretation of the first movement! :-)
Валентина, очень люблю Ваше исполнение! Вы так прекрасно чувствуете. Спасибо.
Ooohhhh!!! Ooouuuuu . . . The interpretation of the 2nd movement, oh my, the delicate parts were SWEET!!!!! The diminuendos were exqusitly melted into silence. Just like cotton candy. My goodness!!
This is by far my favourite rendition of Pathetique. Valentina, your skills are beyond words. Your precision, your meticulous care for the notes, the emotion you put in, and with such ease as if your fingers just 'dance' on the keys. I am always speechless after watching your videos (and also starting to think you may not be from this world! haha). I have watched a lot of your videos and thoroughly enjoyed them all, any chance you're coming to Melbourne (Australia) anytime soon?
I agree. This piece is a wonderful piece to put so much emotion into especially if you put Beethovens story behind it and tell the story with your soul. It's so much fun to play, but I will truly never feel this piece as much as she does!!!
Yea, was a good rendition of Beethoven's pathetique, but the coughs make it unbearable. I'd rather use Zimmerman's or Daniel Barenboim's
What a beautiful performance . Your technique is astounding. You move me. Thank you.
DITTO!!!
Astoundingly beautiful playing.
Lovely to hear talented people such as you.
My best wishes from Brazil 👏
Большое Вам спасибо! Слушая Ваши исполнения, чувствую себя наполненными, счастливым! Это так прекрасно!
Imagine finding this video and realizing you were the jerk coughing
HAHAHAHA
@@ejmtv3 HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
@@joey9009 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Key take away from this comment is " realizing you were the jerk", that person should be self concious at the very least
i love the way you play its wonderful and very elegant
ValentinaLisitsa you are very welcome :)
ValentinaLisitsa Ma'am please do a complete Beethoven sometime. I can't wait for it.
Valentina lisitsa you know how the real music is composed and also how to know which music is real and which is not. I like the way you play because you play very natural I feel a person with humility.
This *was* a complete Beethoven sonata she has played lol :)
Excellent playing of this wonderful sonata (spoilt by the coughing as people have already said but nonetheless I was able to concentrate on most of the performance).
I know it’s a technical comment, but I really just want to say it anyway...
She goes to the very very last note for all her trills...and even in all the other videos she has...she has the most exquisite trills ever...
And then the arpeggios in this piece are sick.
I really appreciate your hard work. I’m just blown away how effortless it is. I love also how you made the Sonata breathe at the right places. Bravo bravo
Благодарю!!! Вот так еще можно исцелять людей! Все тягости этой жизни отходят, когда слушаю вас!.. Попадаешь в какой-то Совершенный, другой, настоящий и Живой мир!!! 👏🇷🇺 Новокузнецк❤️
素晴らしいです。今までに聴いた演奏の中でもトップレベルの演奏です。実際に生で聴いてみたいです。
This is incredibly beautiful...listened to it every night on WNIB Chicago...I remember Harry,art teacher/school principal and his wife Carolyn, genius piano player from Dearborn,Michigan: 1972.Sure hope Jesus Christ shows up soon! Love is forever!💝
Being a huge fan of Chopin and generally don't feel too much about Beethoven's long/monumental pieces, this Sonata in c minor is solidly one of my favorite piece for solo piano and Valentina played it beautifully
What is Moonlight? Do you mean Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia Sonata Nr.14 Op.27 Nr.2 C Sharp Minor?
Save anger, I have expressed every emotion that could be expressed from watching/hearing/feeling you play Valentina! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
Incredible fast and emotional version of this sonata . Well-done
Валентина, Вы прелесть! Ваша игра такая же красивая, как Вы сами и эта музыка. Целую ручки😘😘
Best empathy and sensitivity there is. And she's fast as well. Gotta love her

Valentina, again you played this beautifully and you play this sonata so elegantly with so much expression in all 3 movements. 1st movement is the best!!!

Very well played! I love the precision coupled with feeling! One of my favorite pieces and favorite to play!
Breathtaking.
Your playing is absolutely wonderful.

Lisitsa's talent as a pianist is awesome!
この方の悲愴のピアノ、本当に大好きです。何度聞いても救われます、、、
Such fluidity and nuance. Gorgeous.
Valentina com certeza é a reencarnação de algum gênio musical. Maravilhosa!
