[@alanblackwood1]

I repeat what I've said before, that you Valentina get as close as any pianist to my idea of Beethoven's piano sonatas. The joy you've given me is untold. Happy New Year, Valentina, and may you go from strength to strength! Alan

Absolute perfection.. She understands the composers , rest notes,rythms,flow, tempo, time in a way that cant be properly written down on paper.

[@laisasaid]

I love the way she seems to be having so much fun!!! Always so natural and original. Absolutely perfect ❤

[@luizmiranda1950]

Valentina embodies a mixture of joy, competence and dedication. Beethoven would love to hear her play his works.

[@arunaspilipauskas1972]

I always thought that women can't play Beethoven, but mrs. lisitsa changed my mind.Bravo.

[@rockholiday7344]

Nobody can touch her,she is the best of the best.

[@robertobarbieri9066]

É un piacere ascoltare l'interpretazione di una grandissima pianista, Valentina, ed è un piacere vedere le sue mani danzare sulla tastiera mentre ricreano, come per magia, la sublime musica di Beethoven.

[@Priyadarshan_Nag]

In my opinion you’re the best who can play Beethoven’s music. The way you play is exactly how Beethoven would have intended his music to be played.

[@sandspar]

Do you think there was anyone who could do this for him? We get to hear this for free. I feel guilty...ok with that.

[@jc9552]

I never see a difference between your practicing and giving a concert. One is as divine as the other. I'd pay good money to see you "practice" ANY day. Much love to you Valentina and thanks for uploading these videos. They are a real treat.

[@Desireyso58]

She's an ANGEL, a Gift form God to The World and to me, and She's The Best... EVER!!! When I was young I used to hear renditions on Wilhelm Backhaus, Clara Haskil, Myra Hess, Claudio Arrau; later on, I listen Martha Argerich, Wilhelm Kempff, Sviatoslav Richter, among other amazing musicians... But VALENTINA... She´s DIVINE!!!

[@rafaelubal]

What a superhuman endeavor you've taken on, Valentina. Just yesterday, I started practicing the 3rd mov. of the Tempest Sonata, inspired by your videos these weeks. All this material you're making available here provides immense value to classical music enthusiasts, and to humanity in general.

[@TvDaddyAndTheTabloidArmy]

Brilliant. internet age. she's putting as many great works out, no middle men record co stopping her, and at a high level of excellence and q often with appealing clips - she's building a body of work already unique

[@alittlepianist2881]

If you want a small chance of answer you can translate in her language.

[@alittlepianist2881]

Imagine her translate all the comments

[@alittlepianist2881]

@Konstantin Ridaya i was meaning that it will be more easier for her in the fact that It's more quicker and she can enjoy that someone is making effort to talk to her. I don't say that without any deep thought. I saw many of her speech with her fans and she have most of the time an interpreter with her. That's why i say that. You see i'm french and I'm learning english so i can make sometimes some mistakes. We can't be perfect as hell in this case.

[@andersgranmo7650]

God bless Beethoven, 250 years old!!! God bless Lisitsa!!! (No comments) years old! But looks like 30 at most. TWO GENIUS!!!!!! Love from Sweden!

[@bitcoin_5021]

it is awesome she play not hand. she play the soul.

[@bruced47]

What a joyful rendition! Valentia makes the piano sing!

[@DorSar58]

Прекрасно! Наконец-то я услышал 1-ю часть в настоящем темпе! Обычно пианисты не рискуют и берут темп "с запасом"))) Спасибо! Прекрасная соната!

[@drtee51]

She looks like she's having the time of her life playing that first movement.

[@roybarron5289]

What I love about her In Rachmaninoff's opus she bounces to the rhythm (R$achmaninoff is hard!). She has fun

[@deluxeclavier345]

That's probably my single favorite movement of the Beethoven sonatas partly because it looks like it would be so fun to play

[@jacobsimonson9040]

Deluxe Clavier it is very difficult but after you get past the technical aspect it is very fun

[@ibenenson]

Crystal clear. As nobody is visible around, it is like a solo recital solely for me. Thank you!

[@Charrakate36]

This lady is from other world! Simply sensational...

[@darwincm]

Finally, Beethoven can hear his music through his eye. Valentina's visual performance is amazing!

[@willemeret2398]

Was antisipating this all week, and it was delivered. Especially loved the second movement with tons of emotion, felt as if it was representing a controlled chaos-life that is-with the ups and downs we all face. Which Beethoven was subjected to all to often, but I guess that’s also why he wrote such moving music with loads of tension.

[@galinanokolajewa2285]

Благодарим Валентина за потрясающее исполнение!

[@acuriousergeorge]

By bringing these out one by one you are showing us all these individual jewels and making them known better. This particular jewel is many carats.

[@andrearodigari4840]

Valentina! You are one thing with the piano. Beauty will save the world. Thank you for contributing.

[@jamessavage8192]

Valentina often plays a Bösendorfer. It might be hers. She's playing a Steinway in this one. I love this sonata. She does a marvelous job on it.

[@antoniavignera2339]

Formidabile esecuzione! Mi ha fatto piacere ascoltare questa sonata perché è stata la mia sonata eseguita al mio diploma. Grazie

[@og189]

Amazing always more fire and spirit. She is blazing .I like very much Valentina, she is the most original pianiste over the world.

[@MartinetPhilippe]

Большое спасибо за этот музыкальный момент, вкусный как шоколадный эклер! Я не могу перестать слушать вас! Вы не должен так нас баловать! 💝🌹🌹🌹

[@m.s7408]

Such a wonderful pianist, I’m seriously speechless

[@crewelocoman5b161]

As I've mentioned before, Valentina deserves full credit for bringing these early sonatas to the fore as they continue to be unjustly overlooked by major pianists on the international circuit. An illuminating and magnificent performance as usual. Largo co gran espressione: music can only exist in relation to silence No composer (imho) has explored this relationship so revealingly as Beethoven. In this movement the pauses are as eloquent as the chordal progressions. The musical idea is so simple yet so utterly profound, not unlike the Andante con moto from the Appassionata. It is even more prophetic to understand this in the light of the malady that was befall him. Remember, this was written in 1796 before the onset of his deafness.

[@Desireyso58]

Simply!!! La Divina VALENTINA!!!

[@ashleybarrie5343]

your expression while playing is wonderful! Happy to see Beethoven's music talking to you!

[@rickwilmot9127]

So uplifting in these dark times. Thank you, Valentina! 🌹🌹🌹

[@fcmiller3]

I'd love to know what she was thinking somewhere around the 19:53 minute mark. Beautiful expressions and music...almost makes me believe in love again.

[@samynohff]

Ohhh Val ,, What for heaven's sake are doing to us,, You know, I have almost all your recordings on KZbin, since you've started it (Rachmaninoff's Etude Op.39 No. 6. "little red riding hood" that introduced you to us, you were a teen by then), and then your performances kept going on, including your Beethoven's few Sonatas you had performed,, But your mean project of Beethoven's 32 sonatas, is absolutely beyond believing, you've made an incredible leap in your performance Val, especially in those of Beethoven's, What did you do to make such imaginary progress .!? I've never heard Beethoven interpreted like this before, ever.!! This Beethoven's project you are executing on KZbin in the time being, is by all means going to be a Historical Musical Event, truly it is, and you’ll see,, I wish if you would imagine how much you are appreciated and BELOVED from your audience Val,, God bless you dear, you are a gift from heavens.

[@DBElectronix]

This is such a wonderful treat! Thank you, Valentina.

[@luisjarquin6906]

The best way to begin the day... hearing this wonderful interpretation

[@jonguirl3942]

I told her I hoped for a Beethoven project after her Rach London Symphony recording and she said she only had one house to mortgage :-D I am so happy she found a way to get it done. Wonderful! Decca, how about a fresh cycle of the concertos? Would love it as much as the Rach set for sure!

Followed by him accidentally falling in love, then awkward yearning, heartbreak, but on the plus side: He'd write a new sonata to express it! :D It worked like ten other times for him.

One musical bar，one musical bar is back. I feel that Beethoven has come down from heaven. Thank you for the wonderful performance😍💐 一小節，一小節がよみがえる．ベートーベンが天から降りて来られた様に感動する．素晴らしい演奏を有り難うございます🍀

[@FrankTerpoorten]

Always nice to listen to her piano playing and to watch ......... always radiates during playing, really fantastic

[@sagminor]

So is she making a recording (cd, electronic, or a video of all 32 sonatas)? If so regardless of the media it is an impressive piece of work which I will want to buy. Also think of the genius of Beethoven making these over 200 years ago. I marvel at how enormous the effort was over those years and the drive to create. We in modern society forget the amount of effort composers spent in creating timeless work. Hats off to their work, and to the modern muscians, orchestras and conductors that keep these works alive today.

[@benblumenstein7656]

Can"t understand anybody not liking this!!! Great job Valentina!!! Thank You!!!!

[@FlowNeppets]

You are the only pianist that really captivates me. Simply astonishing. My first love with the piano, as a young child, was Borge Rosenbaum. Better known as Victor Borge with his comedy act. I'm glad this journey has brought me to you. :) Thank you.

I love Beethoven sonatas very very much (specially with your performance🙂) I listen to them while I am doing my school homeworks. Thank you very much because if it weren't for your videos, I wouldn't be able to do my homeworks easily😁 I also wake up with them in the morning (They are my ringtone). And I sometimes listen to them before I go to bed too😅

[@PaoloPachini]

Valentina Lisitsa's way of playing Beethoven is unique: an energy, a freedom, an invention and a knowledge as if the music was emerging from her hands at that moment for the first time. Always under great control, however. It almost seems like a case of metempsychosis!

[@rymajn]

The dedication this must take just absolutely boggles my mind. You are literally one with the piano. Your memory is incredible, if not photographic. Always look forward to watching/hearing you play! :-D

[@snkuntjoro]

Need to buy the CD/DVD

[@MrInterestingthings]

So musical! Also a good sound for Beethoven. I grew up with Perahia in this but it's always great hearing her depth in Beethoven. Her Chopin attracted me decades ago. She's become a greater mature player!

[@stevenpham5639]

Breathtaking as always. One of the top world-class pianists, if not the best!!

[@danielwhite9595]

So many admittedly wonderful performances of these sonatas are rendered in a more Haydnesque manner. Here Valentina gives us the irascible storming Beethoven in an intense rhapsodic way and yet filled with all manner of subtleties made possible by her prodigious technique and musicality. What she is doing here is not only wondrous for the listener but actually important in terms of performance history. This set of sonatas will not be just one more set but of a higher significance if we go by what she has given us so far. As to speed and timings in the best performances time just disappears as one is held rapt

[@yokojkato]

This sonata reminds me of violin sonata Kreutzer. How lovely! I always love her Beethoven interpretation.

[@Mashhh84]

I hope that you will come one day in Malta for a concert
