Beethoven Sonata #11 in B♭ major, Op. 22 Valentina Lisitsa

[@crewelocoman5b161]

One of the most exquisitely written of all Beethoven's Sonatas. He said so himself. To his publisher he wrote (roughly translated): "This Sonata is is apple pie order". You have captured the spirit and light rippling brilliance so well Valentina. Thank you.

[@joestephens7105]

Such kick-ass Beethoven piano writing and played just the way he would love it!

[@rickwilmot9127]

Valentina, You are the best. I'm 80 years old and to be at one of your concerts is on my bucket list. Sending love...

[@roybarron5289]

my main attraction is from watching Val just really have fun performing her pieces.

[@amber40494]

I agree, she inspires me to throw caution to the wind and just go for it when I play a Beethoven sonata!!

[@gigighee4296]

Lisitsa, you deserves BILLION likes!!

[@galinanokolajewa2285]

Благодарим Валентина за потрясающее исполнение!

[@traceysedlakova4383]

Thank you for saving my sanity these last weeks. My 8 year old son has adored you for a few years, we even saw you in Prague (but had to leave at intermission since it was WAY past his bedtime!). He calls you “Teta Valentina” ❤️ For his “music class” at home, we watch you a LOT, and then he tries out some of the pieces on our piano.

[@Desireyso58]

La DIVINA Valentina! I guess she's the best woman at piano EVER... (And maybe the best pianist, men or woman, EVER!)

[@くるくる-u3g]

繊細なタッチ、力強い響き、正確さこそ逸品だがそれを上回る人間味。美しい

[@mattheweamespiano2947]

She seriously is going full on genius with all these beethoven

[@scottyboyproductions]

Can we all just step back for a second to appreciate that you’ve learned (or are learning while recording) ALL of these sonatas!! That’s amazing!!! What an incredible accomplishment.

[@wolfie1g]

Can’t wait! Love all your performances Valentina ❤️

[@laisasaid]

Such beautiful and original interpretation... It seems like she've planned on how every single note would sound... Like she cares about the meaning of every phrase... Now THAT, my friends, is what "making music" is about. Simply playing notes is not enough. Bravo, Valentina!!!

[@K-ymodoke]

I was in Istanbul when I first heard this sonata from you. My night was amazing thanks to you :)

[@allo2033]

Valentina, knows classical music as much as knowers do here, don't change Valentina it's not too fast. If she decides to play like that, it's because, that's all.

[@alvarito45]

You did it again... and for ever! Have filled my spirit with the everlasting Beethoven music. Thank you Valentina. Always in my heart with your adorable playing. Incredible perfect tempo... Bless your hands.. Bless those keys you touch.

[@carlhopkinson]

It's a real joy to watch your beautiful technique and hear the beautiful clean sound it produces !!!

[@Nobilangelo]

It is always a delight to listen to Beethoven creating so much out of so little, and to watch the delight with which it is brought to us by this great pianist.

[@christiankliber]

Thanks for this very liberal Beethoven interpretation. It helps me get back to him, after the not-so-liberal academic (prison) years.

[@michelrodrigues110]

@Rose FabFour LOL

[@lookerona]

Сердечно благодарю! Вы фантастическая, дорогая Валентина!

[@marcosdlopezlopez1443]

I wish Valentina was my piano teacher but you know that it's theoretically impossible

[@roybarron5289]

No it's not it's practically impossible theoretically everything is possible

[@beethovensg]

Fool, you are learning from Her.

[@guillaume6399]

yes she is, look :)

[@justastellarperson219]

Lol it would happen if you had tons of money...My guess is that she is super expensive as a teacher...

[@Ollivier10x56]

I think It'd be geographically improbable

[@maartenvanderlek8955]

For a long time I had written tears in my book from 11:20 - 11:40. And after hearing this part from Valentina I have had tears in my eyes. Such a deep espression!!!

[@ClassicalJams]

My God, you are absolutely mesmerizing dear Valentina!!! .....a natural born virtuoso. Your technique, emotion, and prowess over those keys is truly a wonderful thing to witness! Thank you for this sparkling performance. You are better than ever!! It's been quite awhile since I've visited and hope you and your family stay well. Take good care, ~Jackie

[@mauriziobui4533]

Found the antidote against Coronavirus: 25 minutes of Beethoven played by the hero Valentina. Disintegration all viruses. Thanks Valentina👍🌹🌹🌹💕😘😘😘

[@naftush]

It distracts the viruses, makes 'em sing....

[@Samrules4ever]

If I have to choose one pianist, only one to listen to for the rest of my life - it has to be you. Amazing talent. What a gift from God.

[@gabrieleruffini4884]

Ciao Valentina, wonderful performance and wonderful choice of tempo too in my opinion. Rarely I've heard such a brilliant Beethoven but also so poetic. Somebody can express different opinion but remember that it is the destiny of artists (and not only artists) with remarqueable personality: to divide opinions. This is something to be proud of , I believe.

[@ΑλέξανδροςΚαπογιάννης]

keep doing what you are doing with the same resilience and passion , you are the "sunny minutes" of the day of the average person.

[@resinofalo]

16:41 - 16:54 Wao! Great passage.

[@vegas1209]

Гениально, какое чувствование и свобода! Уносит

[@luisjarquin6906]

Marvelous interpretation as always. Thank you for share this beautiful music with us. You have an admirable talented. I will be waiting with enthusiasm the next sonatas.

[@Ridicolosamente]

Adore this sonata! Enjoyed every second of it! I realize this is likely a very wonderful instrument and the recording space is massive with good acoustics, but I'm impressed and taking note of the wonderful runs in the first movement that you played without pedal. They come across as wonderfully crisp but rich. Good lessons for an amateur pianist working on Op 7!

[@christopherherman8994]

Thank you Valentina for posting these great sonatas they have helped me through some stressful times! I find it so relaxing to sit back listening and admiring the beauty of Beethoven.

[@amber40494]

Such a great sonata! And a wonderful grand piano! Appreciate the free wheeling, loose, liberal interpretation as well!

[@giuliacantelli]

A little bit rapid for what I have heard it before but your technic is absolutely pure and that's which matters. Белла Валентина, большое спасибо!!!!

Beautiful. This brightens up my mood within an unbelievably short period of time. Thank you very much. I need this for tomorrow. Dear Vanlentina and fellow viewers, wish you all the best under the current health situation. -A listener from HK

[@osmhrk3543]

これはベートーヴェンのテンポについての彼女の回答なのだろう。Adagioでは少々作り込みすぎな印象もあったがMenuettoの開放感、Rondoの充実感、通して聴けば、ハマっている。この曲はこんなに立派な曲だったかと感心したところ。

[@TJMalana]

Man isn't it astonishing that there are so many forgotten Piano Sonatas Beetohoven wrote and only 10-20% of his works are the most popular? LOL 😢

[@samaritan29]

It's funny because beethoven highly regarded this piece as being the "best sonata" up until that point - it is such a bewildering success as a sonata in the High Classical tradition. In fact, I think almost all 32 of his sonata's could be regarded as masterpieces (with the exception of op 49, 1,2, op79, op14) - it is quite a shame that only a select few of them (mainly the named ones, pathetique, moonlight, appasionata) are the most popular, when so many of them are so underrated and ingenious in their own right, particularly the last 5.

[@PlastikGUbilationz]

TJ Malana not surprising if you understand the Pareto principle and how it apply a to all creative enterprises as well

[@florisende8015]

@@samaritan29 What? the op 14 sonatas are very great too! Wouldn't put them next to op 49

[@samaritan29]

@@florisende8015 their alright, but a little too insubstantial to compare them against the greats, in my humble opinion.

[@nicoheizmann8074]

Samaritan really? Opus 79 AND Opus 14 are great masterpieces as well! Only because a sonata isn’t as long as others are it doesn’t mean that it is worse than the other one!

[@nottooherbal]

Very much look forward to it, I've set the reminder.

Quite wonderful as you always used to be Val., just one point, we wish if the photographer would focus more on your face, since most of the audience are very fond of your expressions while performing, hopefully he responses to such demand of a lot of audience. Thanks a lot dear.
