[@klaus_vans]

Valentina can play literally everything! From baroque to classical then to romantic and beyond with an incredibile ease and deep understanding and sensibility. She is one of the most gifted pianist of our time. God bless her! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️

[@jaredrowe2226]

I can watch this woman play the piano for hours. It's like there's an itch somewhere in my brain and she knows just how and where to scratch.

[@soulechene]

j'écoute pour la deuxième fois depuis ce matin Chaconne, tel que vous nous la délivrez. Il n'y a pas de mot pour décrire toute l'émotion qu'on ressent à l'écoute de votre interprétation. C'est magnifique, splendide, sublime. Vous nous offrez un grand moment de musique dans sa plus majestueuse interprétation. Et Dieu sait qu'il y en a eu de belles par le passé, mais aucune ne dépasse la vôtre à mes yeux, vous jouez cette partition avec toute une palette de nuances nouvelles qui en font une version incontournable pour les amoureux de la grande musique. Merci Valentina.

[@karldelavigne8134]

The control and the emotional depth are astonishing. I have tears in my eyes. Profoundly beautiful.

[@alhfgsp]

If only Bach could see what piano technology has reached today in expressive capability.

[@not2tees]

I've read that he did get to play some of the new pianos in his last years, and gave them his approval.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

@@Thiago-px9ev First of all, the pipe organ sure did have dynamic range, second of all, this piece JS Bach wrote for his first instrument, the violin. Plenty of dynamic range!

[@roobsrooby6589]

Thank god it's back! Thank you Valantina for getting this incredible video recording back onto KZbin. The best rendition ever of Busoni Chaconne by a remarkable woman.

[@NatanStreppel]

Your first-person POV camera is a really great and original idea. I've never seen anything like this before. I am, once again, truly impressed by your talent, and I honestly hope to see you playing live someday.

[@pierresaintgervais1937]

La chaconne comme la grande passacaille raconte la création du monde et le récit de cette histoire. JS Bach fut le messager de cette grandiose destinée en l'exprimant de façon mystique. Valentina Listsa interprète ce chef d'œuvre absolu comme personne avec détermination et grâce.

[@PaulBeykirch]

Such control! This is no mortal feat. Totally blown away Lisitsa, you really are something. When you play Bach, it's like the heavens split open and God's glory rains down on us all. Thank you for sharing.

[@JeffGreen1957]

She's fantastic.

[@l.m.1393]

This is the most impressive version of Bach Busoni Chaconne in D minor i have ever come across. Magnificent.

[@angel75020]

Une pièce merveilleuse et énigmatique. Toutes les émotions, les sentiments humains y passent. Je crois que c'est le monument de la musique de J.S.Bach tel que Ferruccio Busoni l'a ressenti et a traduit du violon au piano. Madame Valentina Lisitsa a l'intelligence et la sensibilité qui rendent cette pièce si complexe accesible à tous, et nous ouvre l'âme sur des horizons intérieurs et libérateurs. Mille mercis pour ce magnifique cadeau musical.

[@untxen]

The Chaconne in d minor give me always the best 14 minutes of the day

[@eriksatieofficiel]

I cannot get enough of this masterpiece, and Valentina's playing is just brilliant.

[@Hobott]

Какое гармоничное, вычищенное от всего суетного и бренного, возвышенное исполнение... Нет слов, право. К тому ж, я всегда люблю смотреть на руки Валентины, такие эстетические "инструменты" для звуков!

[@stephanieandre8797]

I have listened to many different versions of this piece by several well-known pianists, and this interpretation is by far the best. Valentina's playing is flawless, divine, transcendent. She plays with such heart and passion but also with great precision and control. Absolutely magnificent. She's an inspiration to us all.

[@kwyman986]

I couldn't agree more. I'm so happy to have discovered her performance of this monumental piece.

[@antoninotrotta3851]

+beschi besch i agree, but sometimes Helene Grimaud seems to be scared of playing...

[@leongatha6]

+Stephanie Andre It seems similar, maybe influenced by, Nathan Milstein's great performance when he was 82.This Busoni transcription is devilishly difficult.

[@laiglevoleseul2142]

Try listening to Michelangeli, incomparable in the Chaconne, as I am sure Ms Lisitsa herself would agree. He was the very last stone at the top of the pyramid

[@albertohernz7988]

leongatha6 is it? I am no professional pianist but I can play it ... Busoni's technique variations are very predictive to me.. anyways. the arpeggio section of the 1st part is quite demanding but I really don't think that "difficult" is fitting when referring to this piece.

[@josephk7946]

I think lisitsa's is the most satisfying version I've heard. She's almost the most reliably brilliant, even if not always necessarily the best. This just sounds how I want to play it, however many years or centuries that may take

[@sarahk802]

Valentina is the best pianist in the world. Listening to her play is a spiritual experience. Seeing her play live would be a dream for me!

[@bedenerexhepaj293]

Probably the most beautiful piece of classical music I've ever heard!!!!

[@dedo3d]

There are more of them. All from Sebastiano Bach

[@goscott444]

Discover Bach's Bminor Mass!

[@bluetwilightpiano]

Valentina's dynamics on the piano are like Mark Knopfler's on guitar. Perfect.

[@gabriellelemay7014]

And another thing--anyone upset over the video need only close their eyes and listen carefully to Valentina's performance. And then laugh out loud at the negative comments you read here. Brava, VL.

[@olgam535]

Из всех современных пианистов Валентина Лисица меня впечатляет больше всех, именно её исполнение.

[@chromahitcher1013]

This rendition of the Chaconne was awesome. It brought glandular secretions from the eyes. Seriously, it was simply beautiful.

[@gieripaucar9454]

Each time I listen to this piece in particular I literally travel, I literally travel out of my present and go to beautiful places I can´t really describe, then I feel amazing and say to me "I will try to be a better person than I was yesterday" this music literally touch your soul, and I invite people to do the same, to go to one of the most beautiful places in this time, in this moment, to make this world better everyday. Greetings!!!!

[@user-zd1pt8gy9l]

Chaconne in D minor in piano transcription by Ferruccio Busoni - is a real masterpiece of Bach, where the depth of its content is immeasurable, an incredibly beautiful work performed by a delightful pianist Valentina Lisitsa with great taste, the highest professionalism, an absolute depth of understanding and musicality. . .🎶🎵🎶

[@Sathrandur]

I love the Busoni transcription. It's as though you are actually hearing all the rest of the music that Bach implied in the original. Very impassioned piece.

[@user-zu4kl5vs2x]

one of the best i have ever heard Chaccone.

[@akiraishibe1561]

This is the most beautiful, luminous, and deepest expression of Bach Busoni Chaconne I’ve ever heard! Thank Valentina. I feel the soul of Bach would be delighted to hear your performance. You’ve got the essence of Chaconne-“Life is beautiful including sadness and happiness.” I think you can express Bach in harmony with the beauty of the spirit of this time.

[@remotoadamotroppovelocelaf868]

E Michelangeli lo hai mai ascoltato?

[@akiraishibe1561]

Yes. But by his records. His performance was great. But his live performances were very rare, especially in Japan. @@remotoadamotroppovelocelaf868

[@LisztianGR]

You haven't listened to that many performances of this...

[@akiraishibe1561]

My standard is Bach himself. Comparison is not essential. I love old performances by Youra Guller, Menuhin, Sigeti, Richiter, and so on. I also love and respect new young performers. Valentina is superb!

[@republiccooper]

More than a great pianist, Valentina is such a wonderful person. I love her interviews as much as her performances because she is so warm and genuine and jovial. Thank you. Keep playing and being you.

[@PriscaM]

Playing even high-end repertoire seems so effortless and natural for you!

[@xaviergenaux1531]

One of the few things which keep me alive. Une merveilleuse interprétation, sensible et maîtrisée sur un Boesendorfer par une très grande pianiste. Merci....It helps me much more than morphine,therapeutic cannabis and muscles relaxants....

[@photo3642u]

I love your interpretation Valentina, thank you for playing with such passion & delicacy. My only regret is the length of time it's taken to find you!

[@richardswagner5260]

Speechless. It simply doesn't get any better than this interpretation. Thank you so much, Valentina!

[@JWentu]

thank you , THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been waiting for this since Liszt's Totentanz!

[@Desireyso58]

I have being a loooooooooooong time waiting for a littlke Hello! (anyway I know I will never get it)

[@The.Serial]

I am happy to be born in a period when Bach has been create Chaconna and Valentina has made notes alive!

[@champmerle]

well, i agree, but someone is missing. busoni, he has invested such a long time to transpose the violin piece masterfully into this piano set. his life's work, you could say.

[@789armstrong]

Once again transcendental artistry from a living legend.

[@soulechene]

Merci Valentina pour cette merveilleuse interprétation. Vous entrez ainsi dans le domaine de l'essentiel bien que les autres compositeurs magnifiques comme Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov… fassent partie des incontournables, mais Bach, même dans cette transcription de Busoni est du domaine du sublime. Vous en donnez une interprétation particulièrement belle, qui fera date. Vous entrez véritablement dans la cour des grands en mettant Jean-Sébastien Bach dans votre répertoire. Merci encore

[@martinisrael7]

At moments, she really carresses gently, but so gently the piano and at others, she totally pulverize it! Fantastic!!!

My favorite version of Bach Chaconne on the piano. She is a wonderful pianist. Thank you. Beautiful.

[@keithjones5700]

This music is at the height of difficulty and she makes it look easy (well, almost). So much subtlety of expression, love the 'Quasi tromboni' at 7'30. Great music wonderfully well played. Have listened to this about a dozen times now. It just keeps getting better.......

[@TheKeyboardguy5012]

So beautiful and powerful!!! I love watching your hands, so graceful and flawless.

[@joelcorpard7981]

Magnifique morceau que j'adore ! J'écoute et ré-écoute une grosse dizaine d'interprétations de cette Chaconne et je n'arrive pas à départager celle que j'aime le plus avec celle d'Hélène Grimaud. C'est vraiment le top !! Quel plaisir, quelle émotion ! Merci Mme Lisitsa, que du bonheur !!

[@Ah4b]

I wish J.S. Bach could see and hear this, the modern instrument, the wonderful transcription by Busoni celebrating his piece, the perfect execution, done by a virtuoso woman. The guy would be stunned...

[@dissolutopunito0408]

I am overwhelmed with such beautiful music. Trembling.

Simply full of emotion which I still don't understand why people think that Bach had none! It's a stirring piece. Quite lovely!

[@792Paul]

Fazioli Lover Well, the transcription is by Busoni (1866-1924), so the piece is a little "modernized" in the piano version, that's why it's full of emotion

Increíblemente precioso. Спасибо, Valentina!!!

[@HalcyonMusic]

I've watched this so many times, but it wasn't until now that I noticed Ms Lisitsa played the imaginary bass G that does not exist on an 88-key piano at 13:58. If only the piano was the Bosendorfer with extra bass keys!

[@brayanjoel3580]

I thought the same thing! I transposed the notes of my digital piano to imagine how it would sound on a Bösendorfer, somehow, Lisitsa makes those notes sound deeper, her playing is from another world, just amazing.

[@user-kl6xi7hq3y]

I think she is playing the high G with the thumb, and with the pinky she is hitting the black place of the piano(just near the A) . I , instead of the non-existed G key, played the A key with the high G , and it sounded as a clear octave (acoustic illusion)

[@brayanjoel3580]

@@user-kl6xi7hq3y She might also be hitting the G with the B flat, the piece is in D minor, so that note would be part of the scale and it would sound much deeper🤔

[@user-kl6xi7hq3y]

@@brayanjoel3580 You are so right! I hadn't thought it as an option! But, if she is hitting B flat, she must be using 4th finger, and I can see the pinky "hitting something" ! She may be hitting high G with the thumb, B flat with 4th(or even 3d ) finger, and the black little place of the piano (near the A key-the imaginary G ) with the pinky ! Hello from Greece and thanks for answering!

[@brayanjoel3580]

@@user-kl6xi7hq3y You are welcome! I love to have conversations like this. I saw the video again and you are the one who is right, it is an acoustic ilusion, have you heard Lisitsa's interpretation of this piece on AppleMusic? It is 18:08 minutes long and acording to the description of this video it was recorded on a Bösendorfer 280VC, the low octave sounds amazing, deeper that other pianos, it is part of her album "Valentina Lisitsa plays "J.S. Bach", I heard it with the best headphones I have and it is stunning! Her interpretations are always breathtaking. A big hug from Chile!
