I've had a hectic day today...my 81st birthday. It's nearly midnight and this is just what I need right now. Thank you, Valentina! :-))
Life is awaiting for more adventures with you. Go on Rick!
:O happy late birthday, my man!
@@randomperson-en8kq Thank you!
Happy birthday :)
@Muhammad's sexy Pig Thank you!
We’re so lucky to listen to her piano for free
You can help her by buying her albums!
@@adem1818 fuck off
absolutely yes🌹
Not even ads!
@@samarth3957 Lmao😂
One of the first pieces I learned. To this day, I'm still learning how to play it because it's the kind of piece that you cannot learn as a beginner. It is much more intricate than just playing the notes.
It can't be learned. It has to be felt.
It's a difficult piece in itself, but very difficult to play with such precision, timing and emotion
I always feel like there could be something more I can improve on while playing this piece. But then again it's all about constantly learning and trying to improve isn't it?
@@bv7226 you mean it isnt a difficult piece by note difficulty
@@iamhorny4542 There are more difficult virtuosic segments within the piece, it requires a high level of facility with the keyboard to play it fluidly, and good artistic presentation of the piece requires a matured approach to rubato, dynamics, and ornaments.
Interpretation is beautiful! The trills in the end and the cadenza are so clean and perfect. It is delightful to listen such a performance of Chopin nocturne. The tempo is also very calm and gives space for a beautiful and clear phrasing.
Claudia Canedo ooooooo you like to show off your fancy music knowledge don’t you!
in my opinion, she plays it andante and the way Frederic himself would have played it. Its andante but still with his signature rubato. Albeit i think its a bit muddled in parts as a result but i believe Chopin would approve of this recital more so that Rubenstein.
Whaaat?
lol I can't agree more this is just so beautiful its now on replay lol
Like 'Liquid Velvet'....!!
One of my life's regrets, never learning to play the piano, even though there was one in my house during my childhood...
It's never too late
yes, never too late friend
It does take more effort to pick up the skill as you grow older tho 😔
@@bobbywibowo Not so! Most adults learn piano far more quickly than children, and progress faster!
@@bobbywibowo Not true at all! It just takes commitment and desire
She completely captures the emotion that Chopin intended for this piece and her technique was absolutely immaculate! Not many people can do both of those together so bravo!!
nah
@@sikroboskop3121 bro can you not
Chopin told you that?
When did Chopin tell you that?
日本人です！あなたの演奏に惚れてしまいました。これまで同じ曲の他の演奏者の演奏を聞いてきましたが、あなたの演奏が1番心に染みました。
Somehow, this piece makes everything feel okay, it just for a little while...
Zoe Nelson quarantine got me jamming to all the depressing piano music
@Caitlin Barbecho, this is depressing to you?
@@cait2123 Its a nocturne which mostly has a depressing vibe in my opinion, even if its in major
meaning of a nocturne: a short lyrical piece that suggests the feeling of night AKA NOT A DEPRESSING PIECE
@@blinkyblinky8770 I know, I'm not saying they're all depressing they're actually quite comforting
No mistakes, perfect interval, timing, and her style of playing is just wonderful. Along with a perfectly tuned piano. Just a lovely performance. Need I say more?
Whats stopping you, speak up. We need to know more.
You mainly commented on the accuracy. There is far more to say about the musicality.
Of course there were no mistakes. What kind of professional pianist makes mistakes?
Let’s hope not
@@kasajizo8963 So you're implying that this performance was only accurate but fell short in other aspects of musicality?
she's so good. I'm glad she made the desicion to play the piano.
+James Netherian she's good?? :D she's Amazing :D
+jon pett She practices 12 hours daily. With that discipline she can master whatever she wants. Like anyone else. Of course, with determination
Not too sure about that, just being able to work that hard is a form of talent in and of itself. For most people is simply impossible to have this kind of discipline.
@@renanbrazparente449 Anyone can build up discipline. I hope so anyway
yes
This woman is absolutely talented
+sheepy gamer Outstanding
+sheepy gamer You Think.
+Alan Hall Outstanding Pianist yes, you agree ?
You think was sarcasm.
+Alan Hall To answer YOU THINK makes it a distinct possibility ?
i watched it 3times in a row, every time tears just came out, and im 33yo old man, and im into electronic music, and its so... perfect...
Same here!
Tears are stars from your soul.
The hands are hypnotic. They barely caress the keyboard and yet they elicit all that wonderful music & sound.
Spoken like a true writer. So.... how is that book coming along?
There is magic on her fingers. I can't take my eyes off her hands.
@mijnmening1 I don't even have a piano or a place where I can take lessons.
Just a number in the system you can buy a good cheap 88 weighted keyboard for 500$, yamaha p45, and you can study thru youtube
@@galileofigaro4747 that number is expensive to me.
@@galileofigaro4747 but thank you for the advice
Just a number in the system yeah i get it, me too, it’s fine maybe later
Her touch is astounding. She plays with such an elegant and delicate tone seemingly so effortlessly. Simply magnificent.
Someone may play this as well as Valentina but no one can play it better. Toward the climatic ending you can see Valentina was 'all in' and could barely contain herself. Every child in their formidable years should be given the pleasure of listening to this marvelous piece of music. Chopin touches our souls with a melody so enduring we listen to every note as if each one of them is telling us a story. The word crossover is used when a musical arrangement is so alluring it attracts listeners who are not accustomed to such sounds and they are mesmerized by it's beauty. Chopin's 'style' touches our hearts with a universal rhythm and the worlds people are so joyful they have had the opportunity to listen to such beautiful music.
Thanks! I was formulating my response when I stumbled across yours... no need for further comment.
Just to say that I've been listening to this verion for many years now, and along with Zep's STH, it brings a lump in my throat and an instantaneuos tear to my eye with merely the opening notes...
Her passion is what makes it for me!
@@krismartin2954 Well said, Kris.
So absolutely beautiful. Although she plays with such perfection, never is the emotion of the piece sacrificed. She never rushes the music, as so many concert pianists tend to do. It is just as I imagine it should sound. I love her interpretations, breathtaking. What an amazingly talented and wonderful pianist.
She never rushes music? Check 69 no.2 for example.
I mean I like her playing, but she is playing too fast oftenly.
but this piece it's a little bit slower...
Yeah, she definitely rushes pieces quite often.
Well said.
@@FreakieFan i dont think playing at fast tempo necessarily means you're rushing a piece, especially in this case
If her playing was any more fluid, they'd have to repair that piano for water damage
she played this dreamy song so well she put herself to sleep at the end
RayMysteryo you laugh, but I actually did that once. rofl
u should see how she plays rachmaninoff piano concerto 2
Alex Colderley does she play it in her pajamas?
+RayMysteryo lol probs, she is an amazing pianist she can play almost all of the classical song book, and what makes it so much better is that sge plays her pieces on a steinway & sons concert grand piano😊
i mean she plays not sge
This was playing as my grandfather died when I was 4 years old. I am now 55, and I can still remember lying on his bed as he died. This music is both beautiful and tragic to me. It can both make me smile and make me cry
Chopin listening to it would come back to life, soft as a snowflake, so warm to the heart!
This is prolly the background music when you enter heaven
kenflowfohsho03 yeah but you said prolly so u prolly going to hell
you also said prolly so you're prolly going to hell too
The Walking Debt we're all prolly gonna go to hell.
How the hell escape from that prolly loop
The Narrator we're all gonna die and there will prolly be no heaven no hell, just a dark, empty void of nothingness.
Her moves are just insane. She really feels the music. Also playing so clean. Just started learning guitar and I'm terrible but seeing people like her is so motivating
Дорогая Валентина! Вы не только лучшая пианистка нашего века, но и честный, порядочный человек. Слушать ваше исполнение-бальзам на душу! Счастья Вам и успехов!
This makes me cry I don’t know why
For me it’s a contradiction to the craziness of the world meaning there is greatness out there
That’s why I cry
It’s supposed to..
We're in the same boat i guess. I just don't know why chopin makes me cry.
me too, have the same feeling when i was watching raining outside in the dark silent night.
@@cureangelz seih ehrlich, das hört sich einfach nur einzigartig an.
Chopin will be very happy to hear his Nocturne in the way he had composed it. Simply WONDERFUL
ThePilot314 s
This piece by Chopin is like a dream, a remembrance of someone once loved, once held close to the heart. It contains the thoughts and feelings, the sensations of past embraces, past moments now cherished in the memory of the heart. There is melancholy, yes, but also the earnest knowledge of how much this person was loved and is still loved. It is the song of someone who has come to fully possess the understanding of their own feelings of deep affection and appreciation for the person who is, and was the inspiration for such tender remembrance.
Chopin is the only composer for the piano imo who comes close to the same depth of personal realization of Beethoven, who more than any other composer found full expression of his mind and heart in his music. Great artists manage to pour all of themselves out in their art. In the process of revealing their personal humanity they reveal great secrets of all shared humanity. Valentina does a wonderful job of telling Chopin's story of his remembrance of someone once loved and still held dear.
deep
+Chris Greco You are very mistaken, two separate eras of music, and Debussy as well connected along with about 20 other great composers. Time for you to start to listen to other great composers who connected with their hearts. As far as Beethoven, he despised being a composer. He was a pianist first, and when his loss of hearing came about he hated the fact that he had to "lower" himself to be a composer.
+Matthew Wright That's like saying a stone mason hated the fact he had to lower himself to be a famous architect. Beethoven didn't achieve money or fame from playing other peoples music. Pianists mimic when no one will listen to their own material. Beethoven was an improv master.
Yes this is so true. Plus debussy for me
This is how it’s meant to be played. Soft, peaceful, light as a feather. Thank you for such a captivating performance.
Wake up to this as my alarm every morning. I cannot emphasize how much peace this interpretation gives me. Incredible.
What kind of crazy are you?
@@somhrsh how in the fuck does that make her crazy?
@@okayest_pianist its not exactly calming music
@@somhrsh well it's really subjective, I personally find it melancholic while others might find it sad or even happy
@@somhrsh your interpretation isn't the only one out there
This was played with such elegance I can't believe how amazing piano music sounds.
Valentina, you are truly blessed, to beeing able to play these amazing pieces, with such emotions. I can't even imagine how it feels to play this amazing piece of art, without any flaws, and all the emotions you give to it. It gives me chills.
I'd rather have this talent than all the money in the world! May you be surrounded with love and happiness.
Great comment, worded my thoughts
I feel so blessed, Valentina, to hear and see and feel the music that flows through you. May you be blessed in all things for the joy you are sharing. Thank you from my heart to yours!
Is have all of the money in the world and use it to take lessons from some professional like her..😉
BillieJessify dude think bout the moneyyyy xdddd
BillieJessify This kind of skill really is priceless. Limited only by number of fingers
This was my first Chopin's piece I've ever played.... It makes me cry every time I listen to it and Valentinas touch sounds like a feather falling on the notes. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment.
Beautiful description
The immortal sound of Frederic Chopin. :D
I always have thought, what he was thinking when he composed this beautiful music... I read somewhere that the great composers of XIX century were inspired for the universe, the stars and, in some way, they were there, listening the singing of the stars and galaxies... silly I know, but romantic... don't you think so? Have a great time, pal!
Ishtar M.
Some songwriter should compose the exact right words that go along with this divine music.
Max Havelaar
This music is beautiful as it is, don't need anything. I like to compose poetry but I never tried to put lyrics to this beautiful music... It could be a blasfemy! Have a cool weekend, Max!
humankind will be listening to this as we explore the depths of the universe
SimMaster
This music is a way to transport you, in your mind of course, to that beautiful thing that the Universe is.... its greatness can't be understand it by you or by me...
she seems to play the piano with the soul, not the hands...
yeah very gorgeous
She's amazing, I love her!
she does
No, she uses her hands. lol xD
pow tio. nada a ver coroa
Technically flawless and emotional playing. Your fingers are like feathers gracing those keys. Chopin is difficult to pull off correctly (and in this piece lies much complexity beneath the simplicity), yet you make it look so simple in your brilliant presentation. Love you, love your interpretation. You are clearly one of the best pianists of our time and an inspiration to me, my family, and my friends. Bravo to you Valentina!!!
Her hands flowing on the keys are so satisfying and calming...
Not everyone can play Chopin well - it is not easy to capture the light breeze of his music... She plays wonderfully, soulfully, great pianist.
VERY true... I've played this piece, and it's not that technically difficult. The difficulty and mastery comes in playing it with ease and a light hand- like it's floating. She makes it look like child's play
I discovered you on RUclips apparently later than most people. My Mom is a pianist. It was something she loved so much. But, she’s 80 now and can’t play anymore. I shared your music with her. Music makes her pretty emotional something I inherited from her. She loved your music and was very happy. You are truly amazing. Thank you for what you have given to all of us.
Не знаю! Слушал многих исполнителей этого ноктюрна, но только исполнение Валентины вызывает полный восторг. Вот именно так звучит в душе эта музыка. Это просто магия какая-то! Валентина, Вы лучшая шопенианка!
Just absolutely adore your technique, you are literally caressing the piano and lifting your hands so high, reminds me of Paderewski's style of playing.

I used to play piano when i was in high school (learned from youtube). Stopped playing for a few years when it broke.
After listening to this for a few months, I've decided to get a new one myself. Thanks for your wonderful playing, and wish me luck learning this new piece.
She plays the piano so softly. I am so touched. I replayed it again and again.
Most beautful version I heard so far. Outstanding!!!
Same with me. Her timing is incredible. Phrasing is perfection!
This is actually the best interpretation I've heard so far
Music has no language barrier . Make me feel happiness.
One of the most tearful, delicate and emotional nocturnes.
Can I also say, this Steinway sounds absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous blending...arguably the best Steinway D I've heard. Thank you Gerd Finkenstein for letting Valentina play on this magnificent instrument.
And that why she.switched to superior Bösendorfer..😂😂
THANK YOU POLAND ..CHOPIN IS AMAZING
man, I love the romantic era... Thanks Poland!
+Paweł Wyrobek LOL, thanking your own country LOL.
+Paweł Wyrobek It is actually a sad song composed by him.
+ThePassiontea you made me do this.... its a piece or a composition. Not a song.
+ThePassiontea your lack of knowledge is disturbing ...
A great loss to the civilized world was the death of the unmatched musical poet, Chopin at only 39. Imagine 30-40 more years of his work.
If he'd live longer we probably couldn't handle it anymore lol he was such a great composer and pianist.. I hope to play as well as Valentina once I grow up and keep on practising
If Liszt had died that young
+ThatOne Persson I would want every composers to live until now and compose more music.
ThatOne Persson Hahahaha cmon, he was also a virtuoso.
gerry1202
Mozart at 35 too...
I haven't played piano for over 7 years...Valentina's performances made me fall in love with that instrument again...I'm back at playing it now! Thank you. ❤
Hope you are still at it :)
This elegant and empathetic nocturne tugs at my heart strings each and every time I hear and play it and more than any other, period, played with the necessary gentleness, poise, balance and touch by a true virtuoso, vivid in my childhood memory as my mother, Madame Maria Bonadio née Butera passed slowly nigh on 40 years ago. These rare treasures of life humble us through unique gateways and insights to the fragility of our souls and the emotional world that surrounds us. This enlightenment means more to me than anyone could possibly imagine so I, and others to follow in eternity, will be indebted to three pianoforte virtuosos for their art and inspiration; Madame Marie Pleye that inspired a 20 year old Chopin, Frédéric of course and Valentina that I love to bits.
Обволакивающее исполнение… Можно растворится в музыке… Браво, Валентина! И спасибо вам!
Yes, please never stop. Perhaps we can heal ourselves, our world, one note, one piece, one song at a time. Thank you for sharing.
She's wonderful... The finest pianist I ever seen...
Обожаю Шопена. В исполнении Валентины звучит божественно ☺️❤️
pprt
I wrote words, in Italian, to this piece in honor of my beloved cat. Thank you for this beautiful rendition.
I agree
rip cat
I can feel you
J. W. K. It’s all about the pussy, amirite?
Your rendition makes so much sense; it's like true sentences.
I watched many performances playing this piece but the way you played touched my soul. Awesome!!!! 👏👏👏
I've heard many versions of this beautiful piece of music and this one seems more light and airy. It's almost effortless when you watch her play.
Western Art Music will be preserved forever thanks to You Tube and the ease a musician can stand up a channel.
Valentina, you’re playing touches my soul as meaningfully as your fingers play the piano.
If there is no soul In music it ain’t music in my opinion what she does so well is puts emotion into every note
This was absolutely beautiful, my favorite piece of Chopin and you captured it beautifully. To be honest, I cried. Never stop playing, you're amazing.
So gay
She is a professional
Sustantivos Abstractos excuse me w h a t?
@@marking2540 some people are blessed with something called feelings
Sustantivos Abstractos hun, first off, how you know if this person is a girl or guy? And second, hows liking someone’s video gay?
The cleanliness of the trills in L/H is so skilful.
The whole performance wasn’t played with skill. It was played with the essence of heart. Outstanding performance
God i can come here after 7 months, 1 year all of the time always will be beautiful and always will feel amazing to hear it. Chopin thx for this amazing piece and thx Valentina for interpreting it
i came from watching coven and now i can't stop listening to this. the passion this woman has while playing speaks to my soul.
My favorite nocturne from Chopin.
Me too
Also mine c:
Valentina est la meilleure pianiste du monde ! Il n'y a aucun doute là-dessus ! Une icône vivante !
Still easily the smoothest and most fluid interpretation of this famous nocturne by anybody I have ever heard, your sense of rubato, subtle fluctuations of a natural organic micro-accelerandos and desc.os like gentle cascading waves of the ocean. Just sublime and so exquisitely played, as if the soul of Chopin himself is guiding from the beyond at the Astral Conservatoire, psychically channeling forth the essence of the piece itself and how it should be played through you as a musical medium.
Good heavens! Really? This is good. But not the best.
I have listened to different versions of this but love this one played by Valentina the most.I am sure this is how Chopin would have liked it to be played as well. What i love the most about this version is the pace.Some pianist rush with this piece and that to me destroys the haunting,poignant beauty of the piece.Also some play it loudly which again compromises on the beauty.This rendition is almost perfect!
cant stop stare at those fingers, so elegant
AND HER BREASTS ARE QUITE MESMERIZING AS WELL! ♥
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Cara Valentina ho saputo che leggi bene l'italiano. Oggi ti ho sentita in un'intervista fatta da Tatiana Santi e mi hai prorpio emozionato quando hai detto che l'anima canta ... quanta verità nelle tue parole. Mi vergogno per quello che ti è successo in Italia ... una vera vile meschineria. Ti ringrazio per l'emozione che mi regali con le tue note.
My grandmother used to play this. So beautiful.
フォルテシモの左手右手が一体化してて美しい素晴らしい
他の演奏者を聞いたらもう一度聞きたくなる
I can't help but subscribe. She plays the piano with such emotion and passion. She is one incredible pianist, I've no doubt she could very well be the most talented I've heard.
Lisitsa has exceptional, unique technique, touch, tempo, artistic sensibility. Joy in depth, depht in joy.
You can see it in her face that she just enjoys this wonderfull piece..bravo!
Без понтов с закатанными глазами, без реверансов руками и головой, легко и непринуждённо, снято одним кадром с одного ракурса, без монтажа. Приятно слушать и смотреть. Жаль, мы никогда не узнаем как играл это и другие свои сочинения сам Шопен.
Time stops every time I listen to you...
I love your phrasing, sensual, precise and so airy...
_Thank you very much Madame for your precious sharing !_
Divine. In acoustics and visually.
This is not performance this is love..sometimes rough but mostly a tender touch.
Exquisite rendition of this beautiful piece. Your hands are magic on the piano. Your timing seems the best I've listened to. Love the way your hands caress the piano. Thank you.
I will never forget the day I saw Valentina play this live in Brussels. It was truly mesmerizing. I’m learning this now, I can already play the first minute. Wish me luck, I will need it 😅
Good Luck and best wishes!
Simply beautiful. I don't know why but listening to this brings me to tears every time I hear it. Thanks for posting it.
she makes me cry every fukin time i'm watching her i should stop watching her but somehow i keep coming back for more. i will never leave
oh.. wait.. that was me 6 months ago..
Every time I listen to this tune it has a way of making me see life differently
Muito doce a maneira como ela interpreta, mantendo o volume de cada nota na intensidade perfeita, nem mais nem menos do que o necessário. Ajuda a ouvir com o coração, e aliviou minha pobre alma.
This is just a guess as i only speak a little Spannish, but did you say something was not necessary. If so, then i have one thing to say to you. Moito Locco!
Entre la mélodie et l'interprète, les deux beautés se confondent...
So often with pieces like this pianists over sentimentalise to the point that it becomes indulgent and misses the point. This, however, is just right. The subtly of emotion is conveyed but not wallowed in and this gives it such character.
I've been working on this piece for years but I'm not sure I'll ever achieve this level of smoothness on the keys. Sublime.
This and the first of the Op 9 Nocturnes are both pretty challenging in my opinion. Not technically. But Chopin's use of this fioritura in the right hand makes it really challenging. Like a lot of comments here say Lisitsa plays with a very natural and beautiful flow. And that's the hard part to achieve. This 2nd Op 9 Nocturne is one of the easiest classical pieces I have learned technically but the trouble comes from the lack of clear rhythmic line. One has to flow in and out of tempo. Slightly louder, slightly quieter. Back and forth. I still enjoy these Nocturnes though, still honing the last 3rd to complete the set. It gets to be a bit more technical, but I find it to be just as beautiful as the first two.
Completely agree with you.. the tempo changes make it a beautiful yet hard piece..
Zhinarkos True - it's no Moonlight Sonata No. 3 (which someone linked to Valentina playing flawlessly well in another comment). But they are different. Moonlight No. 3 is sort of like science, while this piece is more like art...if that makes sense.
This would be what is called Rubato.
In essence, yes, but the fioritura element persists. Not so much in this particular Nocturne, but certainly in the first of Op 9 and the third. It is a stable of Chopin, this unevenness and florish of melodic lines as ornaments rather than just using an actual ornament like a trill. Which he does too of course.
Right hand is a cancer. I bought a midi controller a week agò and still trying to do the first 20 seconds... ...the left hand is easy but the damn right hand...
Such a gentle touch
Великий Шопен и прекрасная Валентина! До слёз.
An angelic performance!
Пальцы Валентины касаются клавиш и... происходит чудо! Божественное исполнение! ❤
I love how she doesn't press the keys. She caresses them.
***** well if you carress a key you will never elicit a sound. believe me please. she "presses" the keys as in down toward the key bed.
На руки Ваши, Валентина, можно смотреть бесконечно...❤❤❤
Восторг!!!👏👏👏
She maybe a mere "conduit" as she stated in one interview but a marvellous one. She's able to extract more beauty of the source notes than most of other conduits. You feel goosebumps every time you hear her playing. You can clearly distinguish her among others even in a blind test. It's like
Montserrat Caballé among opera singers. I have no absolute pitch by any means but I can identify exceptional art and it makes me very happy to listen to such music.
Her hands are almost as light as a feather when she's pressing the key's
Unlike me 👁👄👁
but if she was your mother you would not want to get smacked upside the head...
She plays that nocturne divinely!
It may sound easy but it is not at all!
I play it too and I trust Valentina for her interpretation.
Perfect balance between the soft and the crescendo!
Pretty hard! Believe me!
This piece of music always makes me emotional. So beautiful, I'm speechless.
私には想像もできないくらいの練習をして、今の素晴らしいピアノの音色が出せるのでしょうね！凄い凄い🎵
