How lovely to find you playing this. Oh my goodness. I was 20 when The Piano came out and I was enchanted by the film and its music. Sigh. If only I had started playing then. 🥺 Instead 26 years later I finally start. 💔
This is by far the best version of The Heart Asks Pleasure first. No one plays it as beautifully, gracefully and exquisitely as her. And I’ve listened to a lot of them.! Thank you xx
I first heard this in a dark theatre back in the early '90's while watching The Piano. It was the first piece that stuck with me. This has to be my favourite rendition. It has the emotion so many others lack. Thank you from, New Zealand.
This is sublime playing. You have such a beautiful touch, Valentina and capture all of the sensitivity and longing of this piece. The passion and the sadness flow from your playing. So glad you shared it. What a pleasure it has been finding this here. Thank you
Wow! I have been a fan of Valentina Lisitsa for years, and I also really liked Michael Nyman’s beautiful music a lot. I never thought I’d hear her play it. This is fantastic.
dear valentina!! you always bring us happiness with your talent.... and help us to forget for some precious moments the weight of our existence... thank you!!!
In this performance Ms. Lisitsa;s touch is much softer than the breeze on the beach. The song seems to have the air of a lilting Irish melody. Really pleasurable. Thanks for sharing. Ron
When I first heard this piece years ago, I thought of Valentina Lisitsa playing it. This is one of my most treasured pieces and I'm glad you finally played it. My life is now complete! :-)
Thank you Valentina, the music is sheer pleasure. You on the beach, what a photo composition. Your dress is the same you wore on your recital in Passau, Bavaria, on April 17th, 2013...nice memories coming back...
I can hear your personal touch in this and it's wonderful. When I learnt to play this piece I would also put my heart into it and loved the range of emotion one can communicate through this piece. Thank you
Thank you Valentina for your generosity and magnificent music; I took the liberty of sharing this with all my lady friends. Happy Valentine's day to you.
Your interpretation of any Plano piece is the ultimate, you intuitively interpret the music in the way it was meant to be heard. Keats, the poet, in one of his odes, said”beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all you know, and all you ever need to know”.On listening to your music, you know you’ve heard truth as well as the beauty.
This is Sooooo beautiful Valentina!!! I was not familiar with Michael Nyman so thank you for introducing me to his music. Your interpretation is sensitive and thoughtful.
I like that you do what you like to do on youtube and that you don't let yourself restrict from the sometimes very old-fashioned and close-minded classical music business.
I first heard this at the beginning of the year and wanted to learn it right away! I got the music and learned it in a week. Now I know the music by heart and play it constantly! Beautiful piece!
I just finished playing this piece at a recital for my piano class yesterday. I should have seen this video much earlier on! I love to see her playing the piano on the beach as in the film. How beautiful!
It baffles me how you don't have all the subscribers. Thank you for your dedication and relentless pursuit of your craft--from an idiot poor farm kid in KY that grew up to learn such things. I get it now :)
Valentina, it is so incredibly cool that you devoted an album to music by a living composer! It is a task very few pianists are willing to do. But given how wonderful this music is, I don't see why not! I am an aspiring composer and it is my dream to perform my own music someday.
this was among the very first music videos my father and i watched on youtube in our village .
Where is your village? When did you have internet connection? Regards from Uruguay.

It is never too late to learn to play the piano. It's an investment for your soul.
Il ne faut pas vous décourager. J'ai 70 ans et j'apprends depuis 4 ans. Le principal est de se faire plaisir en réalisant un rêve.
same here! well, 23 years later, ha, ha, ha.... terrible
@@chantaltn7382 Pareil ! Et quelle joie !
It never too late...Blessings to you 💝
This is by far the best version of The Heart Asks Pleasure first. No one plays it as beautifully, gracefully and exquisitely as her.
And I’ve listened to a lot of them.! Thank you xx
Among all recordings of this song, this one is the one that captures it in all its nuances...
I first heard this in a dark theatre back in the early '90's while watching The Piano. It was the first piece that stuck with me.
This has to be my favourite rendition. It has the emotion so many others lack.
Thank you from, New Zealand.
Beautiful phrasing! Every note has meaning. Not rushed like other pianists do. Love it.
Including Michael Nyman …. So …. 🤭
Goosebumps from just the opening notes 🥹
In my opinion, the best pianist in the world
This is sublime playing. You have such a beautiful touch, Valentina and capture all of the sensitivity and longing of this piece. The passion and the sadness flow from your playing. So glad you shared it. What a pleasure it has been finding this here. Thank you

Just picking up this piece. Valentina Lisitsa truly inspires me.
I really like Michael Nyman's compositions, and Valentina Lisitsa is too great for words to describe. This is wonderful! Thank you!
I have to admit that i am in love with the pianist Valentina Lisitsa...amazing performance...as always!
I have always loved this song ever since the movie
Gorgeous, sad, uplifting all in one. Played to perfection....
Heavenly! I could listen to this version all day. Thank You!
Your skill is beyond words..bring those compositions to life how you want them said, then it's said the best!!!
dear valentina!! you always bring us happiness with your talent.... and help us to forget for some precious moments the weight of our existence... thank you!!!
This is one of my favorite compositions played by my favorite pianist.

Valentina you're simply a goddess of piano! Your performance never fails to delight my ears, and my heart.
You yourself are a great gift, Valentina.
the scene at the beach - priceless
When I first heard this piece years ago, I thought of Valentina Lisitsa playing it. This is one of my most treasured pieces and I'm glad you finally played it. My life is now complete! :-)
I love when you hit the lower keys very daintly and a huge and great sound comes out of the piano.
Thank you... You are the best piano master in the world, in my opinion...
Hope you had a very nice valentines day Valentina! This piece is so beautiful and romantic! I love it!

Absolutely one of my favorites of this album "The Piano" to listen to and to play. The movie was wonderful as well!
What a talented musician. The feeling is deep.

Valentina!! Happy Valentine's Day!! You can't imagine how much I love you and your music... thanks for such amazing gift!! ♥ ♥
Wow I have not heard it like this before, beautiful. Definitely going to learn it now.
I like that you do what you like to do on youtube and that you don't let yourself restrict from the sometimes very old-fashioned and close-minded classical music business.
What a beautiful song, can't stop listening to it! Just posted a cover of this piece!
Une main gauche si légère!!! Les nuances entre les notes, la sensibilité sont incroyables. Merci pour cette sublime interprétation.
You are absolutely amazing!! I wish to see you play live on stage!

I first heard this at the beginning of the year and wanted to learn it right away! I got the music and learned it in a week. Now I know the music by heart and play it constantly! Beautiful piece!
