Everytime i hear this piece played and connect it to the Egyptian princess story dancing with tears for His beloved in bitter tears on his grave, just makes me Cry all the time especialyl th slow parts which is sooo emotionally played, thank you valentina
It is incredible how Liszt wrote for the bass notes at 5:05 have their overtones still sustained by the light portion. These overtones stay sustained until 5:49. To have overtones (especially from a Bosendorfer) sustained that long is pure talent of composition and by the performer! Bravo!!
Beautiful playing. Liszt is so fascinating. When Liszt invited Edvard Grieg to meet him, Liszt sight read the A Minor Concerto (playing too fast at first) and commented throughout as he played. He also played Grieg's sonta for violin and piano, but playing both parts at once on the piano.
Liszt proving that he doesn't have to show off, that he can be subtle and enganging. Valentina your playing is a delight, you give these works new lives, thank you.
Valentina, I feel you have unlocked the music of Liszt and brought it to a modern world. How Liszt would have loved your Bosendorfer rather than the pianos , I'm told, he frequently broke trying to realise his vision.
Il y a quelque chose de superlatif dans cette interprétation sans égal. On est pris par cette transposition de Verdi par Liszt. Le piano est particulièrement somptueux et la valse des doigts de Valentina sur le clavier prend un caractère envoutant inégalable. Je n'ai jamais rien vu de mieux joué ni mieux filmé. Bravo, pour ma part, je suis insatiable de tels chef-d'oeuvre.
Wow! A beautifully inspired performance of an inspired tone poem based on an inspired final scene of an inspired opera! I've never heard this transcription before, and can't imagine myself ever even attempting it, but I'll be back here to listen again - and again ...
THIS is actually just the very best part of the 0.1 valuable percent of RUclips and subscribing to you was the best thing, I ever did out there in the internet. Thank you, for making this possible through all your reliably fascinating performances.
this has moved up into my top 3 videos. what delicacy, what bombast ! i can only imagine what the audiophiles will say when they hear the analog LP . thank you for putting this up on youtube
This is beyond beautiful.... Thank you very much for your fantastic descriptions!!! They're always so insightful, personal and interesting. I hope to one day be half the pianist you are.
Valentina, this is just fantastic. I look forward to every video and often replay your archived performances. You make it look so effortless. I want to give you the money in my wallet it's so good.
Liszt lived the life off an absolute rock star! Has anyone had a more glamorous musical career? Paderewski, I guess. Someone asked Liszt why he never wrote a book about his life, and he replied "it was enough to have lived it." How cool is that?
who are the 20 people that don't like this......it's a scary thought that someone could not like this if they were truly appreciative of music even at a basic level....
Hi! I hope everything is going better for You.My mind was somewhere else.So many parts sounded like a mountain stream where it tirckles down to a rapid then trickles down again.Beautyfuly played.Thanks for the music.Opera,nuts! Why? I played the French horn in college.I had so much fun playing an opera in the pit of course.The opera had a very funny man( who liked to joke around) as the lead tenor.He liked to sit down and tell what was going on.If it wasn,t just right he'd make something up.con.
esta obra muito profunda juntamente com o baixo profundo de Boesendorfer .... simplesmente perfeito .... soa como êxtase para os meus ouvidos .....Concordo plenamente
@ValentinaLisitsa I mean of you playing it ;), you've inspired me to start studying a lot of other pieces, just curious about the Impromptu because, judging you by your other videos, you'd play it really well and it's a piece I've finished studying a few months ago.
What an amazing piece... I always loved Liszt, but this piece is remarkable.... But "not virtuoso"... Perhaps, not by Valentina's standards ;-), but for an "ordinary" pianist ... Listen to 6:48 ;-)
Hey Valentina, I have been enjoying your playing very much.I play classical music and saw a video of you playing Rachmaninoff's 2nd concerto 3rd movement for solo piano in this here video Could you please help me get the sheets for this solo piano piece so that I can enjoy it too?
Valentina, will you be preforming Totentanz during the concert on the 19th? I hope you are because I would love to hear it! :D By the way epic performance!!!

Valentina: You had been playing at "Sala Sâo Paulo" in Sâo Paulo Brazil, some years ago aside Hilary Hahn. What is your frankly opinion concerning the Acoustic of the hall? (If you can remember it after so many others). Kisses
Valentina I'm playign this piece in my junior recital this spring (I heard a recording of you playing it years ago and I had to learn it). I have only found scores online so far!! WHERE CAN I GET A PRINTED COPY???????? Thank You, -Chris Maldoando
Lisitsa, i´d like to listen you playing Prokofiev Toccata in D minor (Op.11) o Ravel Toccata aus Le tombeau de Couperin. Have you considered them for your next concerts ?
Hi Valentina! this has to be an alltime first.The Lady Gaga of classical pianists.LOLI like Lady Gaga-there is a l;ot more to Her than some people think!You know-if You ever have time You might listen to Her & Tony Bennett's duet "The Lady Is A Tramp".Lady Gaga really does have a very nice voice and She does play the piano.Another point-I think is You don't realize how much pressure You put on all the other Pianists-.Just knowing how good You are.I think everything You play is virtuoso.LvU& Pray

5:05, 5:49
Stunned. Transfixed. Elevated.
Beautiful playing. Liszt is so fascinating. When Liszt invited Edvard Grieg to meet him, Liszt sight read the A Minor Concerto (playing too fast at first) and commented throughout as he played. He also played Grieg's sonta for violin and piano, but playing both parts at once on the piano.
I have listened all evening and night, 5 hours and never tire of Valentina. She is, indeed wonderful.
Liszt proving that he doesn't have to show off, that he can be subtle and enganging.
Valentina your playing is a delight, you give these works new lives, thank you.
Valentina, I feel you have unlocked the music of Liszt and brought it to a modern world. How Liszt would have loved your Bosendorfer rather than the pianos , I'm told, he frequently broke trying to realise his vision.
I love the background detail that Valentina often so thoughtfully provides. It's so helpful in better appreciating what she is playing.
You are so young and yet, you are already a living legend. Salud Valentina!

Just beautiful - again. Even your hands lifted in silence. Thank you for sharing your immense talent.
Such beautiful and expressive hands.
The very old Liszt also wrote the two lugubres gondolas, modern
and intensely melancholic music.
Didnt know this piece, thanks!
Wow!
A beautifully inspired performance of an inspired tone poem based on an inspired final scene of an inspired opera! I've never heard this transcription before, and can't imagine myself ever even attempting it, but I'll be back here to listen again - and again ...
this my current #1 best favorite Val performance. it demonstrates the breadth of her talents.
Wonderful!!! You and the Bösendorfer sounding great as always!!!
THIS is actually just the very best part of the 0.1 valuable percent of RUclips and subscribing to you was the best thing, I ever did out there in the internet. Thank you, for making this possible through all your reliably fascinating performances.
WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE NOW
this has moved up into my top 3 videos. what delicacy, what bombast ! i can only imagine what the audiophiles will say when they hear the analog LP . thank you for putting this up on youtube
This is beyond beautiful.... Thank you very much for your fantastic descriptions!!! They're always so insightful, personal and interesting. I hope to one day be half the pianist you are.
I looked for this part of the opera all the day of yesterday, and now I learn that there is a transcription by Liszt! Jesus' Akbar!
holy moly !!! what a GREAT work. has to be the most unusual piece you've uploaded . you have no idea of what gifts these uploads are to me. thank y7ou
this very deep oeuvre coupled with the deep bass from Boesendorfer.... simply perfect.... sounds like ecstasy for my ears.....
Wonderful as always!
So classy... your smooth skill, the cinematography, the Bosendorfer :)
You are so talented! Thank you for sharing your music with us!
Огромное спасибо за игру и за ресурс, восхитительнейшая Валентина!
I so love your playing. And I've learned so much watching you play and reading your comments.
Bella interpetazione la danza di G .Verdi.
Meravigliosa Valentina lisitsa.
Wonderful! The fluidity of your techniche is astounding. I'm amazed at your skill. Thank you for these videos. :)
Your playing is celestial!
How Beautiful! 🌺🌺🌺🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏
Valentina, this is just fantastic. I look forward to every video and often replay your archived performances. You make it look so effortless. I want to give you the money in my wallet it's so good.

Uau, incrível👏👏. Sou sua fã Lisitsa e me inspiro em você pra sempre continuar estudando piano
At 8:20 is a perfect example of how to play loud chords powerfully without making it sound like banging. Just amazing.
Didn't know this piano piece. You are absolutely right about it sounding very impressionistic!
who are the 20 people that don't like this......it's a scary thought that someone could not like this if they were truly appreciative of music even at a basic level....
It sounds like a beautiful dream!
Simply... The Best !
lovely, have a great new year, with a lot of success!!!
When I subscribed to you two days ago I knew I would have an amazing 2012.... your playing just takes me away :)
Beautiful...
Великолепно!
Hi! I hope everything is going better for You.My mind was somewhere else.So many parts sounded like a mountain stream where it tirckles down to a rapid then trickles down again.Beautyfuly played.Thanks for the music.Opera,nuts! Why? I played the French horn in college.I had so much fun playing an opera in the pit of course.The opera had a very funny man( who liked to joke around) as the lead tenor.He liked to sit down and tell what was going on.If it wasn,t just right he'd make something up.con.
I like the synopsis! That's a cool story that, well...I did NOT know. :)

Bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!
esta obra muito profunda juntamente com o baixo profundo de Boesendorfer .... simplesmente perfeito .... soa como êxtase para os meus ouvidos .....Concordo plenamente
i love your playing lisa!!!
Damn Impressive... And so is the piano playing... ;0
If this is truly one of Liszt's later works, I think I like this era of his music than the earlier, showier pieces.
This is amazing :D
Liszt + Lisitsa = perfection
you are great!
Прослушал с удовольствием
@ValentinaLisitsa that's what I like about it! I wish I'd been there to hear you perform it...
@ValentinaLisitsa I mean of you playing it ;), you've inspired me to start studying a lot of other pieces, just curious about the Impromptu because, judging you by your other videos, you'd play it really well and it's a piece I've finished studying a few months ago.
Extreme!
Бравооооо!!!!
I wonder how it feels to play so good on such a good Bosendorfer!
What an amazing piece... I always loved Liszt, but this piece is remarkable.... But "not virtuoso"... Perhaps, not by Valentina's standards ;-), but for an "ordinary" pianist ... Listen to 6:48 ;-)
Amazing... theres still hope on people :)
Hey Valentina,
I have been enjoying your playing very much.I play classical music and saw a video of you playing Rachmaninoff's 2nd concerto 3rd movement for solo piano in this here video

He was the inventor of the Tone Poem.
@ValentinaLisitsa
Valentina, any plans on coming to Iceland?
You are my role model as a pianist and I would love to see you performing in Harpa!
Have you ever considered playing Reminiscences de Robert Le Diable? It's a really marvellous piece that soothes you perfectly. :)
@ValentinaLisitsa Ever taught about playing Chopin's fantasie impromptu? Haven't seen a video of that yet.
Please choose to play Paraphrase Handel sarabanda :) I´m sure that your interpretation will be the best :) Your fan from Slovakia :D
Does Valentina herself write these info box descriptions? They're informative as well as fun to read. Thanks!
Valentina: Did Liszt do an arrangement of Rigoletto? I really enjoyed this and just can't get enough of your playing.
sei stupenda
i love the camera view at 0:49
How is video not available?!?!?!
Valentina, will you be preforming Totentanz during the concert on the 19th? I hope you are because I would love to hear it! :D By the way epic performance!!!

Hello Valentina. You are my favourite pianist. Any plans for coming to Mexico City?
lol at the synopsis. Soap opera, indeed :P
Wonderfully played. Will you be playing anywhere in Asia this year? :)
Hey Valentina, what do you think of Hamelin's music??
i really like his Etude No.5 'Toccata Grottesca'.
Valentina: You had been playing at "Sala Sâo Paulo" in Sâo Paulo Brazil, some years ago aside Hilary Hahn. What is your frankly opinion concerning the Acoustic of the hall? (If you can remember it after so many others). Kisses
sounds pretty flashy and virtuosic to me (yet so musical).

Dear valentina, what piece has been the most hardest for you to learn?
Wow, you are amaaazing! How many hours do you practice every day?
Lisitsa, i´d like to listen you playing Prokofiev Toccata in D minor (Op.11) o Ravel Toccata aus Le tombeau de Couperin. Have you considered them for your next concerts ?

You're in love with theatre, opera and literature, I guess, not only with music.
Will you ever play any of the Chopin Ballades?
Happy Thnksgiving Day TND
