The Op. 49 sonatas, being 'student' works, are often performed perfunctorily. I love how Lisitsa gives them (as she gives all else) her full heart and effort, bringing out the depth others miss.
Валентина, Вы прекрасны! Замечательное произведение Бетховена, благодаря Вашему исполнению - как ясный луч солнца и глоток чистой воды сегодня. Спасибо Вам!
Because this sonata is so easy technically, it's played by a lot of students and isn't often heard played by major artists -- except in a cycle as in this case. It's a pleasure to hear it played well. Although I've been around great music my whole life, it was hearing one of Mozart's easiest sonatas played on a great piano by one of the world's great artists that really got my attention and set me on a musical path. This music is good, too. I look forward to hearing the other one of this pair.
Indeed. It's still a Beethoven sonata after all and not a Czerny etude. It deserves respect, no matter how much easier it is compared to the Waldstein.
@@magicmulder I agree except that for contrast in difficulty I'd probably choose Hammerklavier, which hardly anyone dares to tackle. But I guess Waldstein comes from the same era as this sonata. (Just before it?) Anyhow, yes, it's fine music and revolutionary for having a very moderate first movement.
Beautiful interpretation, I love your clarity and your sense of contrast! With you, every detail is at its highest quality, and the entire piece feels like the morning sun shining onto a lush valley.... Thank you so much! 🙏
what a wonderful thing is; Beethoven's soul you have !! this something different else beyond the perfect virtuosity that you have ! you are the rare musical angel of the sounds of the universe, dear Valentina !!
It ended so brightly. Will you, your son, or your husband ever have any plans do a duet together as a family again; like the time when your son was popping all those balloons while you were playing Tchaikovsky? That would be a real treat us to see.
Really excellent! Not many times the great piano players take the "easy" sonatas seriously. Tend to push the tempo far from the Andante and try to make a virtuoso version. This is simply excellent. I adore you.
@@apostolismoschopoulos1876 I don't think is about fast or slow, is about don't lose the character. The movement is Andante. There is a lot of versions of great pianists that push the tempo far from the andante, into an Allegro, only because is easy to play. She doesn't. Barenboim neither. I really like his versión to, of course.
Same here. I've only heard it from Kempff before (I think, that was some 40 years ago) and was always curious how a world class pianist interprets it. (I gotta say I still think I put a little more heart in some passages though but that's personal taste and bias. ;) ) I love how she plays the part at 6:40, never considered articulating it that way.
@@magicmulder there are many times when ill listen to a pianist play a work and think, "oh wow that sounds so much more interesting i've never thought of that". it's one of my favorite parts of music
@@MominMalikYT you see..life is interesting because each one has a different opinion. in the same manner many extraordinary pianists perform Beethoven in different ways from different perspectives. I have listened in my life to many wonderful performances and in my collection of. more than 20000 recordings I have several integrals of the 32 sonatas, a few of them I consider friends of a full life. I do not like ranking in art. What I can say is that Lisitsa's Beethoven is wonderfully played and it is the expression of a mature artist at the top of her technical and expressive skill. Furthermore, for me it is fascinating her extraordinary capability of using the digital media to share, not the usual idiot contents we are accustumed to, but art at the highest level Everybody who love music should have a debt of gratitude with Valentina Lisitsa for that. I am following the integral week by week from the beginning with great interest. Up to this point in the early and middle sonatas I have seen a magistral performance and I have great aspectatives for the late sonatas....
I do not have any music ability. I have listened to many of Valentine's versions of different piece's. I always like her interpretation. My ears enjoy her style. Thank you. 😆🎵🎶
Your face tells a happy story, it betrays the pleasure you had when you played this piece, every nuance was betrayed by the wonderful expression on your face, that alone is worth a kings ransom.
Finally I can hear your performance of this sonata!! Loved it... as always! Looking forward to hear no. 20, and to see you again as soon as you can come back to Madrid!! Thanks for sharing, amazing project!🙌💐 Happy also to see you finally end the quarantine!!
So thankful. I can remember around 10 years ago when I heard your rendition of Beethoven's Moonlight (3rd movement) on RUclips, which initially inspired me to take up the instrument. 18 years old now and playing still. Thank you
Валентина! Я очень восхищаюсь Вами. Сколько же усилий нужно приложить, чтобы научиться так фантастически играть, точно передавая чувства в обычных, казалось бы, звуках! Спасибо Вам за Ваш труд. Вы вдохновляете меня!
Always wonderful to watch your videos! I still think about the time we sat by each other at the Silver Baton Soirée in my hometown two years ago! Looking forward to many more of your performances!
@@guyvert49 I know it',s andante(1st mvt.), and I understand most people say this is fast. But "Speed" is so relative concept. I think she express her own "Andante for Sonata #19". She have said someone's allegro can be the others' vivace/presto.
@@sunghak03 I also think it is much too fast, which becomes very clear when she needs relentless amounts of rubato to make it musically satisfying. One should stick to a single tempo with little rubato while playing Beethoven
Your the best 💕!! I listen when anxiety takes over my whole body. I love this schuberteque sonata 🥰, and I love your Beethoven cause it’s direct and reminds me of old golden age Interpreters. I love a Bechstein over crackly vinyl 😉!
Valentina always enjoys playing! And she deserves to do so after all the years and hours and hours of hard work and practice. She even gave up her beloved chess for the sake of her music. She is amongst my very favourite all time pianists, right up there with Argerich and Gilels.
18-05-2020 Typically from Beethoven, if he could hear this he would get tears in his eyes (if he had tears at least). Nicely played Mrs. Lisita! Bas Peet, the Netherlands.

0:02 - I. Andante
4:03 - II. Rondo: Allegro
I love when pianists start playing with that hand move especially classical piano player
The Op. 49 sonatas, being 'student' works, are often performed perfunctorily. I love how Lisitsa gives them (as she gives all else) her full heart and effort, bringing out the depth others miss.
Valentina's playing is a gift to humanity. Thank you for this beauty and solace at a time of so much stress and frustration.
So much nuance and delicate phrasing. That's one thing that separates her from the rest.
It's stupid how beautiful this interpretation was. Talent is not enough to make music as gorgeous as this. I will always love it.
Валентина, Вы прекрасны! Замечательное произведение Бетховена, благодаря Вашему исполнению - как ясный луч солнца и глоток чистой воды сегодня. Спасибо Вам!
C'est vraiment magnifique à entendre. Une interprétation et une exécution époustouflante. Merci pour ce cadeau qui a embelli ma journée. 😃🌟.

We missed you Valentina ❤️
I love Beethovens short Sonatas. So energetic.
What a wonderful day. 2 hours ago Deutsche grammophon uploaded Barenboim playing Chopin and now this . Amazing valentina!!!
столько деталей в одной, казалось бы, несложной сонате. красота💗
Beautiful interpretation, I love your clarity and your sense of contrast! With you, every detail is at its highest quality, and the entire piece feels like the morning sun shining onto a lush valley....

Классное прочтение. Я кое что обязательно перейму. Люблю играть эту сонату.
Замечательная....Блестяще исполнено!

Beethoven/ Mozart .... the first that i learnt.
A ligt and cheerfull sonate. Thank you. ❤
Thank you to make me wanting learn piano you are one of the best pianist in the world
I love you Val
It is impeccable. And the hands are a special show.
Really excellent! Not many times the great piano players take the "easy" sonatas seriously. Tend to push the tempo far from the Andante and try to make a virtuoso version. This is simply excellent. I adore you.
In my ears this tempo seems a little fast, have you heard Barenboims version?

First movement: We Hear the melody, but we Feel the harmony. Thank you Valentina.
Amore puro per questa Donna, Grazie dei momenti Meravigliosi ce ci dai.♥
I am learning this sonata now as my first Beethoven sonata and it’s always lovely to have your interpretation to listen to!
Tyler Sakow it was my first too! It’s a very beautiful one.
Hi roronoa !
I learned the other one with the same opus and now this is coming.

Why do people speak about heaven ? It is here on Earth when Valentina plays the piano . Lovely sonata . Have a nice weekend
As always, Valentina's Beethoven is the best Beethoven.
Agreed.
Not to take anything away from her performances, but she would herself greatly disagree. A lot of other pianists are better by large margins.

This is one of the short Beethoven piano sonata. I am very inspired that she play this sonata so sweetly. Thanks Valentina!
sweetly but much too fast
