She’s the best pianist for me cause i love the clarity of the notes even if she plays at really fast tempo.

She feels it

You are right, she is so “ passionata “ We love ❤️ her

If Beethoven was alive at this point, he would say: WOW, finally someone did it. The third is breathtaking. Congratulations.

[@davidbudo5551]

Her interpretation of the third movement, regardless of which recording, seems to reign supreme by my ears.

[@jeff-hd9og]

sorry to break it to you but Beethoven’s 3rd movement of the “moonlight” sonata is not so hard that only one pianist has completed it

[@jeff-hd9og]

go look at some of alkan’s etudes or some of liszt works

There is simply no explanation of how i connect with her playing. It is so alive it is impossible to explain in words. The best I can do is say that it is as if all the pianist before her played in the dark , and This angel of beauty sat down and turned on the lights.

[@georgel2201]

I love how clear , expressive and detailed sounds this section that starts at 12:16 . Especially the bass melody in this interpretation is astonishing!

When Beethoven wrote this he could only hope that someone would come along 219 years later and play it this beautifully.

[@crewelocoman5b161]

Quote from Edmund Morris: Beethoven The Universal Composer: "Instead of beginning with...the announcement of key and first theme it emerged from silence almost inaudibly at first, as if Beethoven was testing the limits of his once phenomenal hearing. In Italian, he directed that both pedals of the piano be held down non stop, rarifying the sonority yet lengthening the reverberation...Quiet undulations of C sharp minor succeeded one another, their overtones mixing and dissolving. Far beneath them, empty octaves moved with extreme slowness, while the undulations hardly changed level. The effect was of an almost immobile pool of harmony: dark water before moonrise. When a theme did float in above it was at first more monotonal than melodic. The note G sharp chimed softly and repeatedly. Every now and again a minor ninth, one of the most painful discords in music , shivered the surface of the pool until the undulations smoothed it out. For more than six minutes this hypnotic balance of action and inaction persisted centering on the paradox of a climax with no increase in volume: the music simply evaporated into a sort of spiralling mist that fell without condensing. It was the sound of Chopin, specifically, his nocturne in the same key, right down to the minor ninths, conceived almost ten years before Chopin was born. It was even the sound of Debussy, a hundred years off, in its washes of pure colour and separation of register. Yet the most extraordinary thing about this first movement of Beethoven's Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia ... was that it was cast in regular sonata form. Not now, nor ever could he be called a Romantic. His fantasy was always quasi, his structure always rational." Genius such as this is unfathomable.

[@pspiyush52]

My favorite composer and this sonata the reason why I staryed playing the piano. I remember the day I finished learning this sonata I played it all night long and only realized it was morning when I heard the birds chirping. Moonlight sonata is and will always be the most beautiful and precious piece of music for me.

[@TheClassicalSauce]

God that third movement, especially on the heels of the first two... Ludwig! Who hurt you?! Pure passion! Pure vigor! A ripping and tearing... A TANTRUM!!! God! This man speaks through the piano with masterful eloquence. I believe we hear exactly what he wanted to say... wow! WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!!! BRAVO!!!

[@gfweis]

This is the cleanest performance of the presto I have ever heard. And thrilling. Full of propulsive, gruff energy. The whole thing is magnificent. A preternatural pianist walks amongst us.

[@shadowsmustfall1]

Absolutely un-fucking-real. Incredible range of power and emotion while maintaining crystal clarity. Her interpretations move you to your very core. Each little choice in dynamics comes through beautifully and is clearly thought through. Absolute masterclass. I've always found classical musicians too reserved, you can almost hear them restraining themselves in their music to appear more "sophisticated." Fuck that...give me that emotion...make me feel those notes reverberate in my soul. THIS is what Beethoven should sound like...you should feel the complete range of human emotion in full capacity while listening to Beethoven. Don't let the ego and "sophistication" get in the way of the music. Lisitsa is just getting better. Stunning.

[@lvbbbasdsjcjm]

Right on!! I love the way at times she suspends or accents some passages perfectly. She sings. She is a wonderful performer.

[@nickmraz3984]

I just love what she does with Beethoven's music, brings out the emotional side of Beethoven.

[@jamey55lee]

The first movement of the Moonlight Sonata always makes me feel very emotional. It is just so beautiful, especially this wonderful interpretation.

[@tll7071]

Именно в третьей части смысл всей сонаты. До этого играли первую часть просто как "переливы луного света на воде", и всем было все равно на третью часть. А именно в ней весь смысл. Браво, Валентина! 1ч. Боль утраты. 2ч. Надежда и первые шаги преодоления. 3ч. Торжество преодоления. это история бегуна лишившегося ноги и побежавшего на протезе, композитора лишившегося слуха и написавшего после этого лучшие произведения, и Царя Небесного преданного, оплеванного и несмотря на это спасшего человечество - его молитва в лунную ночь, провидя свой Крестный путь

[@jeannnie000]

Your third movement is one of the best I’ve ever heard. All of the drama that Beethoven directed, the clarity and the passion and the technique made for a formidable performance. Bravo!

[@jameshakai1662]

This execution of the third movement is so much better than your last official one, which was technically impeccable but lacked the severe contrasts that give this movement fire. It only took three seconds of that opening to immediately hear how much you've improved. This one is not only technically impeccable but it really lives, has a soul, has your own personal expression in it. And it sounds utterly magnificent, Miss Lisitsa!

Quien habrá tenido la dichosa dicha de escuchar la obra del Maestro de sus propias manos, su talento, su nervio, su calma, su arte. Su música le da nueva vida al viento, es un refugio, es sentimiento, es infinito su legado como triste la existencia. La dicha y la miseria deben ser vivídos, pero que en medio existan las manos, el instrumento, el aire, el oído, y la locura que se abre paso para ser poema.

I very regularly put on your recital of mvt 3 from 10 years ago, and now I see this; all three movements, played together, refined and so emotive. I'm a lowly guitar player so I don't know crap about pianists or how technically better you are than anyone, but you are truly an incredible musician to watch. Thank you for providing me with so much comfort and joy over the years!

[@joelmacinnes2391]

The recording 10 years ago was of all 3 moments, but for some reason it was uploaded 4 times, as the 1st movement, the 2nd movement, the 3rd movement, and all 3, also very few have the technical ability to play so accurately at such a fast tempo, although I'm sure you would've worked that out anyway

Val, loved this recital. Speed just right - slow first movement, even tempo-ed second movement, then off to the races in the third. As a classical guitarist I can play the first two movements on the piano. You can imagine. I began trying to learn the third movement, but my lack of technique showed VERY quickly. I was a bit like the girl in Immortal Beloved who annoyed Beethoven when she tried to play it. This was just a great recital.
