As a fellow pianist I’m extremely impressed by your agility and note accuracy. Not only do you do this well but you have amazing expression. Well played.

[@someoneelse354]

I don’t know other pianist with such great expression as valentina (obviously subject to opinion and taste)

[@WSBToulouse]

Love it! Absolutely perfect, it flows and all that rich expression.

[@carlosgles8408]

Superbly played

[@charlottewhyte9804]

Oh yes

[@arlenemark3365]

Riveting! What a tempest and then gentle hands that arc gracefully as she plays. What a gift is Valentina.

[@sirus1624]

What a nice day with dear Valentina and her magic Thank you

[@sleeve51]

Outstanding. My favorite classical pianist ever. Thank you for posting this golden gem.

[@morningaga]

The third movement ... i already heard it in so many sci-fi movies .... magical and that scale is magical too .... thnx lisitsa ... and th x beethoven for that composition 😍

[@ouvrenino350]

What I like is that she puts many funny expressions in her playing....She's amazing!!!!Greetings from an 13 year old girl admire!!!!

экспрессия - самое ценное в исполнении, ноты любой может прочесть, но исполнить без экспрессии - никак, голые ноты останутся

Miss. Lisitsa, love the POV fingers on keyboard video. So beautiful and elegant is the movement of your hands. I could watch for hours. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and dedicated hard work with us.

[@user-zm1cr2pl1e]

Дорогая Валентина! Только вас могу слушать. Такой нерв! Особенно в данной ситуации, когда смотрю только новости с вашей Родины, больше ничего не волнует. И ваша музыка, исполнение полностью отражает душевное состояние. Помоги нам всем Бог! Благодарю!!! 🙏

After listening, I will have the 3rd movement 16:12 running though my head for days.

[@andrewwilliams9599]

Tempest, indeed. Powerful, stormy, uncontrollable. Beethoven would have loved this performance.

[@shadowsmustfall1]

Amazing. Love the Go-Pro style, makes me feel like I'm playing. I imagine playing this so well must bring tremendous joy...sadly, it is a joy that I will probably never experience.

[@wrassmussen]

Never say never.

[@wrassmussen]

@@leesiheon8013 Whoops. You are right. @shadowmustfall1 I did not mean to say never. Just keep hope alive. You never know what will happen. Thanks General Relativity Friedmann Equation.

[@marcialavine1272]

Absolutely everyone can experience the same type of joy by engaging in anything in which you excel. It shouldn't take half a lifetime to learn that the time spent this way is transformed into a gift which transcends time. The satisfaction gained through the repeated act of honing your craft, whatever it may be- woodworking, sewing, cooking, painting, gardening, volunteering in some capacity, etc- nearly always will grow within your soul, transforming the satisfaction of successful participation in the activity of choice into that joy you believe Ms. Lisitsa experiences when she plays the piano.

[@wrassmussen]

@@marcialavine1272 Well said, Marcia. Thank you for these words.

[@marcialavine1272]

@@wrassmussen - I understand @shadowsmustfall1 all too well, which is why I had to say it. I took piano lessons as a kid from the time I was 6 until I was 10, until I just couldn't meet my own expectations, or those of my teacher. I have extremely short, fat fingers that just refused to grow longer in spite of my piano teacher's insistence, nor would they somehow miraculously stretch to reach the keys while I played, even though I was supposed to be able to reach without moving my hand- so simple that even first graders were able to play the songs I simply could not play properly. My teacher wasn't exactly gifted with imagination or perhaps she just could not conceive of anyone learning to play while being allowed to experiment beyond the proper method, or perhaps I could have adapted my playing to accommodate my piano handicap. In any case, I stopped playing, and have never played since. It took the majority of my life to get beyond the bitterness, resentment and envy of the gifted players like Ms. Lisitsa, but once I did, I could begin to grieve my loss and heal. I have found other activities that I am not just good at, but which I have become expert in, and sharing those gifts with others are what bring me joy- the same joy my other comment referenced. If I was able to find that joy again, then anyone can, because I did not believe I would ever get over the devastation I felt so long ago. I don't think I've gotten over it...but I have grown beyond it.

[@92alphagal]

How can anyone dislike this? Either trolls or they are too ignorant to appreciate classical music and Valentina Lisitsa’s beautiful rendition and shouldn’t click on the video to begin with.

[@sammycritfiddle]

the proof of the genius of your performance is that it feels like reading. every bridge sounds like a chapter changing over, introducing a new character, or a change in the story of one we have already met. all the conflicting emotions bringing out a hopeful-sounding harmony. all that fire and softness mingling. Valentina Bella!

[@Mr3Trois3]

Always i'm thinking, "gonna do this while i listen to Valentina" but I can't, you take all my attention! ❤️ Especially this time with the first person view, very nice :)

[@strangerfromthemoon13]

I'm supposed to be cleaning my room right now, but I'd rather watch her play :)

[@louisshambarger2230]

I have never been able to use classical music for a background while I do something else which requires attention. It occupies my mind.

[@nicoheizmann8074]

[@pianoforte17xx48]

Omg I thought I was the only one who can't concentrate with other things while this music is on, especially eating or reading..

My references for this sonata were Brendel and Kempff up until today. In many ways this is the most beautiful interpretation of this sonata I’ve heard so far...

Thank you so much Valentina! I am learning this piece. You have no ideia how much helpful is a video like this one for someone who has no teacher. I watch every detail of your playing. I am just an amateur who plays for his cats at home, but I feel I am having some kind of masterclass. Thank you again. Best wishes.

Such a fascinating way of portraying good music ❤️

[@zoulou-zomba1]

I pushed the madness by changing the speed of the recording to 0.25, 0.50 and 1.25 and it gives respectively this; - an organ playing sound. - an amazing choreography of Valentina’s fingers on the keyboard. - a speed that is dehumanizing even Valentina cannot follow. Don’t tell me I am not obsessed by here art.
