It is ridiculous the way some people pathetically criticize her playing here. She has precision, fluidity, grace, and focus. But some say that she's TOO precise and technical and has no passion or emotion. Then when she's "passionate and emotional" they complain that she's sacrificing precision and technicality. She's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. Give it a rest! She's a phenomenal pianist with more talent, beauty, and strength in her pinkies (literally) than her incorrigible "critics" have in their whole bodies.
XSEF5 well music is about emotion which she generally lacks she does not play eith any emotion unlike daniel barenboim arthur rubinstein martha argerich and murray periaha all play with tons emotion there better pianist sorry break it to you but the key thing to musoc is grace/emotion which she doesnt have she might be a good pianist but she is a bad musician im not trying to be offensive im just stating the truth
After participating in so many masterclasses, I learned that the passion and emotion is in the sound and not in the facial expressions. This is why I admire Valentina Lisitsa’s playing. Every single millisecond of it is intentional and sincere, and she isn’t milking out “extra music” from the piece. Neither is she falling under the requirements. Her technique is pristine for a reason, and one of them is because she cares for the ultimate clarity of tones, runs and all other passagework. I think her playing is absolutely fantastic, I mean, it’s organic. Her hands lyrically flail at the right times. I think she is just embodying what she was taught by her Russian teachers. They’re looking for sound and not a matching face. She’s not up on the stage to make you say “oh she’s a good performer and she’s so expressive”. She’s up there on that stage to convince you to say “this music is divine.” It was divine for me. Thanks Valentina, I continue to pick up my old pieces, the Appassionata included. My soul was set on fire after hearing how you brilliantly turned the finale into a thunderstorm.
I love how she's hunched over.. and her fingers are like witchy scary magic fingers. Her arms.. her face.. this is insane good!!! This is beyond amazing.
The story goes that Beethoven first played this to someone on the day that particular someone became the first to notice that he was going deaf. He was out walking with his assistant, who heard someone playing a flute and commented on how beautiful it was, before turning to Beethoven who didn't know what he was talking about. After hiding his encroaching deafness for years, and realising that the cat was finally out of the bag, he returned home with his assistant, and then proclaimed angrily "NOW I shall play you something" and bashed this out in a fury. Must have been a hell of a thing to witness. Fantastic playing, by the way.
I believe those were two separate instances. He played the third movement of the Appassionata for his student Ries in 1804, whereas the instance about not being able to hear the flute playing was mentioned in his Heiligenstadt testament of 1802.
Serponge Geometry Dash No not really. You probably haven’t studied the piece seriously thus are incapable of figuring out all the(so many!) mistakes and flaws and lack of phrasing in this performance.
In my opinion, Lisitsa is by far the best interpreter of this movement. The other day I watched Lang Lang playing the same piece. He seems to be slightly more precise and technical, but Lisitsa wins by far because she's not only precise and technical, but also makes much better decisions on dynamics, which results in a higher artistic performance. The first time I've watched this video was on March 2016. Since then, I came back here a hundred times or so.
I feel the same. Except that technic isn't really the point. Valentina had entered the brain of Ludwig, and even she give a more that come from herself. Thank you Mrs Lisitsa.
I was listening to it while comfortably sitting on a chair and studying. At the end of the piece, I found myself in hospital diagnosed with high blood pressure!!
I probably know this Sonata better than any other piece of music. I've played it and I've listened to dozends of interpretations. This is as clean and honest as it gets. No pretentiousness, just the music speaking for itself. Thank you very much, your performace is amazing!
I also really enjoyed her 2nd movement from moonlight sonata :) but tbh, probably all her pieces (haven't heard all she has played) are really beautiful and captivating
Valentina must be the person with the most inner calmness. Music relaxes people and she creates gorgeous ALL day long on her own. She never looks stressed. As soon as she hits the piano, an expression of love comes over her face. She is not just a pleasure to listen to but a delight to watch as well. She is perfection.
Merry が学生の頃、Samson FrançoisのBeethoven のピアノ、ソナタのレコードを購入し、毎日聴いていました。その中には３曲が録音されており、この熱情が特に好きでした。青年の迸る燃える様な感情が表現されていました。Valentina さんの演奏からも、燃える様な感情が伝わって来ており、素晴らしい演奏と感じています💐 The performance of playing piano is splendid 💐
Absolutely incredible performance. Never ever have I seen a pair of magic hands like that in any pianist I've ever watched. She has me in a trance and her Beethoven is out of this world.
Хотя бы один русский комментарий) Валентина, Вы прекрасный музыкант и замечательный человек, уважаю Вашу гражданскую позицию. Слушать Вашу игру -- настоящее удовольствие: идеальный баланс техники, музыкальности, тонкого постижения композиторского замысла и собственной интерпретации. Спасибо за Ваше творчество!
Valentina Lisitsa is one the most exquisite-sound and talented piano perfomers of all time. She has an unique clean technique and a emotion on her performance.
She is a very good pianist, borned for piano and very much talented. i love seeing her hands moving up and flying over the keyboard, its so amaizing.... only good words for Valentina Lissitsa, and a lots of respect ! Music and piano its a great art... Brava Valentina !!!!
Превосходная игра и интерпретация от Валентины. Сама по себе пьеса наполнена бурей эмоций с самого начала до самого его могущественного конца. Мрачные и властные переходы, буря ярости переливающаяся в луч надежды это то, что так трогает и заставляет в который раз нажать на кнопку повтора. Невероятно)
Absolutely fabulous. She has a very strong, percussive style in this piece, which really brings out the underlying drama of the whole movement. I've seen people comparing her renditions to other pianists, and I say this is just as good as kempf or barenboim. different, sure. More dynamic than lyrical in many places too. But absolutely fantastic.
Valentina and her living fingers, of all pianists I watch she is the only one who can make it feel so easy when I look at the hands, I don't know how she does that.
I guess, there are ppl who are gifted. There are ppl who are gifted and talented. And there are people who just move with the music - in ways, we can never fathom. To witness that, is divine.
I can't understand the people who say that the way she plays lacks emotion. I mean don't you hear the many crescendos and decrescendos as well as the different piano, pianissimo, forte, and fortissimo? She always interprets the pieces the same way as the composer intended it to be played. Beethoven could have been described as a very emotional person with extreme mood swings (because of his illness etc.). And that's the way she plays it. The different sections are in contrast to each other in terms of tempo and dynamics and describe the mood of Beethoven like it's written in the sheet music
their probably judging her emotions base on her dull face without any expression, they judge pianist base on their CRAZY ugly movements and postures. their so nAIVe
This is a wonderful, almost miraculous performance. Valentina Lisitsa has become a favourite pianist of mine. It just makes me wonder at the limitless potential of human achievement.
I've lost count of how many times I've seen this video. The pleasure it brings me is always the same ! Love it ! BRAVO, VALENTINA LISITSA !!! BRAVO !!!
I believed it was Vladimir Lenin who once said “If I keep listening to Beethoven’s Appassionata I won’t be able to finished the revolution” great quote.
Очень жалко, что Вы не слышали Святослава Рихтера. Он закрыл этот бетховенский опус, раз и навсегда. Лисица играет хорошо, но по-женски, смягчяя взрывные контрасты . У неё нет высвобождения колоссальной энергии в коде - просто пассажи и все. По Рихтеру в коде необходимо сгорание в атмосфере, добавлю: полное и окончательное. Без этого Аппосионаты просто нет...
I've followed and enjoyed Valentina's performances on RUclips for many years now, but coming back to this very early recording, it's remarkable how much she seems to have relaxed into the role of virtuoso pianist over the years. She seems much tenser here than in later performances. It's by no means a criticism of her playing (which is stunning), rather that she just seems to have more fun these days!
My piano teacher told my parents I would never be able to play the piano after two years of lessons. She was right. I love to watch and listen to this. I'm glad someone has the talent that I don't have.
The more I hear her, the more I'm sure that she stands out by far with the mortal pianists! Valentina has no one to compete with her. She's pure PERFECTION!!!
Beethoven the II Oh, I see. I see the impostor that you are. Indeed, I noticed that a dog pretends to be me. But sorry, there is only one Beetrhoven. Check my channel, you will understand why.
I love it. Beethoven have a lot of epic finals. I love him. Chopin also. The final of the ballades (less the 3rd). And others. Thats what makes me love and enter in this musical world
Cara, isso é uma obra prima. Que incrível!! E a forma como ela toca... Uau!! Essa não merece só palmas, merece Tocantins inteiro. Impressionante e fantástico!
I don't understand why all the best pianists in the world REDUCE THE TEMPO in the exact most difficult part of this Sonata 6:48. Only Beethoven didn't, and of course Valentina Lisitsa. At last I've listened this Grand Sonata almost as it is, as it was written and sometimes performed by the Great Master L.v.Beethoven. Thank you!
+Grand WebOn I don't think they do it on purpose. The way I see it, if they could play at actual speed they would. No shame in being humble and slowing the tempo... they're not Beethoven after all.
+Grand WebOn Is that what that is? I'm not a pianist but piano music. This song is a favorite of mine but whenever I hear it by another pianist, the last minute really feels like it's off. I've always wondered why other pianist's version of the last minute really bugged me. Now I know. XD
Yeah! That very moment is the most difficult part and the apotheosis of all this master piece. True pianists give it all its passion instead of giving up!
Uff es una Diosa del piano, que manera de tocar tan magistral. Beethoven fue un genio monumental, como describir lo que su música transmite. Es un universo.
Wow, fantastic performance, I don't think I've heard it better, love the fire in the performance, something that we don't see a lot of, these days (sadly)
This is the speed. Same as the one I heard 20 years ago on cassette. More relaxed and enjoyable. Your sound engineer needs vodka. Clean crystal clear audio. Best so far in piano recordings on RUclips.
I tried listening to 5 other top players I could find on youtube searching but they absolutely paled in comparison to the masterful performance of Valentina. Not even close! Her ligato and tempo is unmatched, period!
It is ridiculous the way some people pathetically criticize her playing here. She has precision, fluidity, grace, and focus. But some say that she's TOO precise and technical and has no passion or emotion. Then when she's "passionate and emotional" they complain that she's sacrificing precision and technicality. She's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. Give it a rest! She's a phenomenal pianist with more talent, beauty, and strength in her pinkies (literally) than her incorrigible "critics" have in their whole bodies.
Somebody would criticize this? It a stupendous, fantastic performance, to be celebrated.

she's too perfect for those retarded pple with twinkle twinkle little star as a limit for what they comprehend
I tend to agree with you, however, depending on who's playing it Twinkle Twinkle Little Star can be a handful on the keyboard as well. ;)
One cannot play this music, or play it this well, without passion.
After participating in so many masterclasses, I learned that the passion and emotion is in the sound and not in the facial expressions. This is why I admire Valentina Lisitsa’s playing.

Thanks Valentina, I continue to pick up my old pieces, the Appassionata included. My soul was set on fire after hearing how you brilliantly turned the finale into a thunderstorm.
Totally agree Valentina is such an inspiration. Imo one of the best, if not the best pianist of modern days
I mean, she's got no shortage of facial expressions...
THIS!
@vor 3 Jahren You're wrong. You can be a great great pianist if you want. How old are you ???
@vor 3 Jahren i feel the same (as you).
I AM COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED. Beethoven would be proud of her. What a talent!
Every note means something. I always feel excited when I hear her play. 😍
Beethoven was a pure prodigy, no words just feelings. Valentina is an absolute master at her craft.
I love how she's hunched over.. and her fingers are like witchy scary magic fingers. Her arms.. her face.. this is insane good!!! This is beyond amazing.
The way her fingers fly over the keyboard. Breathtaking to watch. And to listen.
Breathtaking...Yes
You're breathtaking!
They looks like dancing spiders, she has so much elegance in her hands, totally relaxed
Keyboard???
And to imagine its conception.
The story goes that Beethoven first played this to someone on the day that particular someone became the first to notice that he was going deaf. He was out walking with his assistant, who heard someone playing a flute and commented on how beautiful it was, before turning to Beethoven who didn't know what he was talking about. After hiding his encroaching deafness for years, and realising that the cat was finally out of the bag, he returned home with his assistant, and then proclaimed angrily "NOW I shall play you something" and bashed this out in a fury. Must have been a hell of a thing to witness.
Fantastic playing, by the way.
I doubt it
@@fredericchopin7639 damn hahahahaha
If the real Frederic Chopin says so, it must be true
I believe those were two separate instances. He played the third movement of the Appassionata for his student Ries in 1804, whereas the instance about not being able to hear the flute playing was mentioned in his Heiligenstadt testament of 1802.
valentina has been one of my favourite pianists for years & i only JUST discover her performance of appassionata?! it is GORGEOUS
I know I'm nutty, but I play this nearly every night. A momentary escape from the everyday ugliness of life, to the beauty and genius of humanity.
Dont escape, fight with that shit ❤
Escape, no ....
So called the uglirness of life ...., live with that ....
Great.
Tell Armand I say hi
THIS IS JUST PERFECT. she plays just at the correct speed, not too fast. Every notes she played are really clear. Bravo!
Panachai Inthakul not really
@@skylermccloud78 yes really
Serponge Geometry Dash No not really. You probably haven’t studied the piece seriously thus are incapable of figuring out all the(so many!) mistakes and flaws and lack of phrasing in this performance.
stfu can you even play lol
@@thelemicthorax I feel really sorry for those who taught you to be such a rude barbarian.

I feel the same. Except that technic isn't really the point. Valentina had entered the brain of Ludwig, and even she give a more that come from herself. Thank you Mrs Lisitsa.
For me it’s Vladimir Ashkenazy. But she’s definitely second place.
i personally prefer Fazil Say's but its very close! ^^
Listen to Lang Lang
I was listening to it while comfortably sitting on a chair and studying. At the end of the piece, I found myself in hospital diagnosed with high blood pressure!!
I probably know this Sonata better than any other piece of music. I've played it and I've listened to dozends of interpretations. This is as clean and honest as it gets. No pretentiousness, just the music speaking for itself. Thank you very much, your performace is amazing!
Spot on. I heard lines in this I hadn’t heard before
I can't stop coming here to hear this. Well this piece and the 3rd movement of moonlight sonata. I love her playing!
+Danny Macs Kitchen Check out Hungarian rhapsody #2 by her. Moonlight was my favorite and then I stumbled upon that one. It's perfect.
+Danny Macs Kitchen Yes, I can't understand how one can do this so perfectly??
I also really enjoyed her 2nd movement from moonlight sonata :) but tbh, probably all her pieces (haven't heard all she has played) are really beautiful and captivating
+Zach Coderre ikr
same here ..
and you can also add tempest 17 ;)
That's crazy good. I've seen a lot of pianist, but she is one of the best.

This woman never fails to remind me of what it means to be alive.
Absolument fabuleux ! Quelle netteté, quelle virtuosité au service de la musique de Beethoven
Nothing like a HD piano recital rehearsal in the morning to cheer you up.
Absolutely wonderful performance. One of those profound moments where I felt so glad just to exist and be able to hear it.

That's why they call it Appassionata!

I don’t know why I’m crying but it’s amazing.
Seeing someone so near perfection is truly breathtaking.
It's touching you soul! I love Luddy and Valentina
Изумительное исполнение изумительного творения Бетховена. СПАСИБО.
There’s so much clarity in every piece I’ve heard her play. She truly does these great pieces justice.
Талантливая , трудолюбивая, правильно обученная и сценичная.
Слов нет!
Великолепное исполнение. Браво! Благодарю, Валентина. Творческих успехов и покорения новых вершин!
A ballet by fingers, grace and of course, brilliance as she performs Beethoven's piece with such dexterity.

удивительная , великолепная, фантастическая пианистка ! Б Р А В О !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no logical reason for anyone clicking the "dislike" button for this piece. Perfect simply doesn't begin to describe it.
Valentina est la meilleure pianiste au monde !
Elle est une légende vivante !
L'icône absolue du piano ! 😮😮😮
Fantastic! One can never tire of hearing this! absolutely wonderful ❣️bless her for bringing the brilliance of Beethoven to me❣️perfect❣️
I've never seen it being played this perfectly. I'm mind blown.
Valentina is amazing! I have listened to her for many years and she performs EVERYTHING at the highest level!
Absolutely fabulous. She has a very strong, percussive style in this piece, which really brings out the underlying drama of the whole movement. I've seen people comparing her renditions to other pianists, and I say this is just as good as kempf or barenboim. different, sure. More dynamic than lyrical in many places too.

One of the most incredible pieces of music. I'm mesmerized every time I watch this.
For my part, I can play the first 4 seconds REALLY well.
I guess, there are ppl who are gifted. There are ppl who are gifted and talented. And there are people who just move with the music - in ways, we can never fathom. To witness that, is divine.
the look on her face upon completion is absolutely incredible.
This is my absolute favourite interpretation and recording of the Appassionata. Absolutely incredible, thank you Valentina ❤️🔥

She is actually very emotional player, quite intense, triumphant, happy, sad, etc.
This is absolutely brilliant! She plays with such genuine and non-exaggerated intensity.
This is a wonderful, almost miraculous performance. Valentina Lisitsa has become a favourite pianist of mine. It just makes me wonder at the limitless potential of human achievement.
I can play the piece from 0:00 to 0:04
Same
Aleksandre Kobulia Yup, me too! XD I just did it today.
Aleksandre Kobulia Record & upload it so that others may enjoy your interpretation.
lotusbandicoot I can play the whole piece!
I just load the video - and click 'play'! It goes right through to the end. Perhaps you should try it, too?
ap xpandy I just played every single transcendental etude and hungarian rhapsody by liszt! The entire WTK too. Thanks for the tip
I've lost count of how many times I've seen this video.
The pleasure it brings me is always the same !
Love it !
BRAVO, VALENTINA LISITSA !!! BRAVO !!!
Valentina Thank you so much for giving live to masterpieces , you to let us feel life and experience the beauty of music through your playing 🎉
I love this lady's work. None better; few, few equal.

Wow. Absolutely mesmerizing.
I believed it was Vladimir Lenin who once said “If I keep listening to Beethoven’s Appassionata I won’t be able to finished the revolution” great quote.
lester smith . I like it very much---brilliant .
If only.
I am here after hearing that quote from "The Lives of Others" movie
@@dinethnissanka6649 wasn’t that also from Fargo S3?
Stalin had it banned from ever being played again. "No man should ever feel such passion."
I couldn't believed what I've heard and seen. Outstanding performance. I'm mesmerized.....
Gorgeous on every level. I have watched this so many times and love it each time like it was the first time!
RUclips allows us lowly people to watch and listen to the super talented, for this I am grateful.col.
Probably one of the most beautiful thing i've ever seen on piano!
It's 2018 and I still love listen to your playing!
Лучшего исполнения не слышал. Феноменально.

Боже мой,как это восхитительно.
А как прекрасны и выразительны в игре руки,они летают ,бьются ,любят и страдают .
Обожаю Валечку и ее гениальную игру.
Браво! Узнаю нашу школу: исполнение искреннее, страстное , темпераментное .
If you say that Valentina lisitsa has no emotion you don't know what your are saying
Incredible performance
It is amazing
You are the best

The more I hear her, the more I'm sure that she stands out by far with the mortal pianists! Valentina has no one to compete with her. She's pure PERFECTION!!!
I like when it's well played. And this is really well played.
Hey, I wanted that name!!!

This is amazing.. I can listen this part over and over... 7:07
!Those last 20 seconds are nonhuman
Ran Segev True... I was learning last 20-30 seconds more than month to play it well!
Ran Segev
I love it. Beethoven have a lot of epic finals. I love him. Chopin also. The final of the ballades (less the 3rd). And others. Thats what makes me love and enter in this musical world
And I do!
Anonymní kapybara Asi jako prostredek preludia cis moll od Rachmaninova lol.. 😂
The highest accolade for her prowess! Words cannot describe my appreciation for her.
Cara, isso é uma obra prima. Que incrível!! E a forma como ela toca... Uau!! Essa não merece só palmas, merece Tocantins inteiro. Impressionante e fantástico!
I don't understand why all the best pianists in the world REDUCE THE TEMPO in the exact most difficult part of this Sonata 6:48. Only Beethoven didn't, and of course Valentina Lisitsa. At last I've listened this Grand Sonata almost as it is, as it was written and sometimes performed by the Great Master L.v.Beethoven. Thank you!
+Grand WebOn I don't think they do it on purpose. The way I see it, if they could play at actual speed they would. No shame in being humble and slowing the tempo... they're not Beethoven after all.
+Grand WebOn Is that what that is? I'm not a pianist but piano music. This song is a favorite of mine but whenever I hear it by another pianist, the last minute really feels like it's off. I've always wondered why other pianist's version of the last minute really bugged me. Now I know. XD
Yeah! That very moment is the most difficult part and the apotheosis of all this master piece. True pianists give it all its passion instead of giving up!
listen to Barenboim
Grand WebOn because they can't play it fast duh
I'm just here for her videos. Just listen and watch her blaze thru keys with accuracy, fierce fluidity and heart. Life's good. Thanks Ms. Lisitsa.
Uff es una Diosa del piano, que manera de tocar tan magistral. Beethoven fue un genio monumental, como describir lo que su música transmite. Es un universo.
Wow, fantastic performance, I don't think I've heard it better, love the fire in the performance, something that we don't see a lot of, these days (sadly)
I love the intensity she always brings. Classic Lisitsa! Each note is so clear and driven. It's like she has 10 pistons for fingers.
This is my favorite piece, and you just made me cry so hard. Incredible.
This is the speed. Same as the one I heard 20 years ago on cassette. More relaxed and enjoyable. Your sound engineer needs vodka. Clean crystal clear audio. Best so far in piano recordings on RUclips.
I am beyond envious and more than jealous of her talents and I can admit that.
I think she unlocked all the songs in Grand Master level. Saw her in every super hard songs :|
I'm enjoy so much. Thank you
Valentina Lisitsa, você é MAGNIFICA! BRAVO!
Esecuzione perfetta eseguita da una persona che la conosce a memoria, complimenti, tutto ciò è molto bello.
Un Italiano finalmente
It's so beautiful. I wish I had that kind of talent with piano.
I tried listening to 5 other top players I could find on youtube searching but they absolutely paled in comparison to the masterful performance of Valentina. Not even close! Her ligato and tempo is unmatched, period!
Quel plaisir de regarder et d'écouter cette virtuose du piano. Merci à vous Valentina.
My beautiful Valentina i really admire you, best regards from Perú, seeing your videos always reminds me not to give up in my piano practices.
Fantastic!! I listen to it very often to start my day
Thanks Valentina
This brings tears to my eyes. Just far too beautiful a piece.
That was perhaps the most passionate pianist i've ever listened to.
Remscar lol nah she doesnt have much emotion murray periaha kills her in terms of emotion so dkes arthur rubinstein and horkwitz
