[@throwscats]

This is easily one of my favorite pieces in classical music.

[@joeydimaggio6429]

Yup

[@bouncebackbb2162]

I love it too. I remember my brother playing it when I was a child

[@maurozanchetta648]

One of my favourite pieces too!

[@sun18442]

This is the most relaxing piece I have ever encountered.

[@tomislavmarelic9187]

My piano tutor is in love with this peice. " Every time I play this I see my whole life." Once I had the honor to listem to him playng it. Man, he was in tears, but happy. This peice gives me chills. Bravo Beethoven!

[@studentoftheword6115]

I LOVE LOVE this piece and the way she plays it is so wonderful.

[@searchmeinyoutube]

One of the greatest Pianist.👍🙌

[@jesshay1180]

A most underrated piece. Got its treatment in Fargo Season 3

[@ValentinaFan]

Many listeners are inclined to treat the middle movement of concertos, sonatas as a piece of connective tissue between two more interesting "organs" - they want excitement, fireworks. This set of 3 videos shows that Valentina knits the whole piece together perfectly. For me, its sonorous, passionate message remains and builds from start to finish. Fantastic, Valentina - awe-inspiring !

[@cornrootworm]

an incredibly sensitive and at the same time intoxicating performance! valentina at her best, LvB at his best. my unlimited admiration.

[@dane3eb]

Most love the complexity of the 1st and 3rd movements but perhaps the simple beauty of the 2nd movement is the most stunning.

[@nicholascapece]

It is my favorite piece by Beethoven and I love her interpretation!

[@opticalmixing23]

Playing all three movements takes a fair amount of stamina and concentration

[@harry21944]

Magic from heaven

[@studentoftheword6115]

Fantastic Performance. Best I've ever heard and will ever hear!

[@zahe87]

I can see a lot of colors... orange, pink, blue in all ranges... So beautiful piece! Thanks Valentina!

[@ianransome]

brings tears to my eyes most times I listen to it...so, so beautiful.

[@levisam007]

Simply amazing

[@MusicMike512]

This is so absolutely beautiful.

[@soulechene]

Je ne me lasse pas d'écouter et regarder Valentina Lisitsa, jouer l'appassionata. C'est une pure merveille. La façon qu'elle a de faire courir ses doigts sur le clavier, tout semble si naturel. Quelle maitrise! Magnifique. Incomparable.

[@danieljunior7821]

Lisitsa, you're ALWAYS amazing !!! Your sound .... !!!!

[@ricardonascimento6020]

Nas parte rápida, Valentina demais!!!! Fantástica!!!! Bravíssimo!!!!

[@melcomepay6668]

She a great gift to the world..

[@dvaculiky]

Genial simplicity. I love this piece .

[@kyungshin5855]

Such a depth.

[@aragonvids]

Beautiful! My soul could derive it's energy from this movement... hoping to finish this piece before I turn sixteen... I've listened to her interpretations the whole way through, gave some other pianists interpretations a chance. Not a snowball's chance in hell that I would listen to any other than this one... BRAVA!

[@L.M1792]

very beautiful. I really have to stop watching these years old videos I'm starting to admire this woman. I could be in trouble.

[@RyanZPianoGuy]

Very good! Probably the best interpretation I've ever heard!

[@alphonsehein1122]

I used to love the mvt 3 of this sonata, but when I listened to it again and again... it is beautiful it's my fave mvt of this sonata now.I can't explain its beautiful melody.

[@ianboard544]

Exactly!! I finally stopped and listened to the 2nd movement and loved it. It was the Kempff recording - I didn't like what he did with the 3rd movt, but I think he nailed the 2nd. Beautiful arpeggios and interesting voices.

[@marcelguimond]

Valentina... I have just heard You for the first time today. You are a breathtaking musician. I listened to Your first movement earlier, and I am currently in the middle of listening to the second. Such subtle yet profound beauty. Than You!

[@seany2345]

So beautiful.. I almost cry like i'm watching a patriotic movie or something lol. Bravo!!!

[@danielkelly5151]

my favorite pianist. i cant play this half as well as u do. Been watching you play for years.

[@capt0623]

It's a great performance!!

[@Persuasion86]

Breathtaking.

[@mjc7771]

She’s so good at bringing out the melody consistently. I’m struggling with that with all these chords

[@absinthecarolinas]

All your videos are terrific! Far and away the best pianist on KZbin. And I don't just mean the playing (which of course is excellent), but you also put the camera where it *should* be, and the sound is actually quite good. I just hate hearing a great piece of music while staring at paintings of the composer or listening to someone play on an old upright in their living room. I'm devouring these. Thanks so much!

[@gabeuop79]

Thank you!

[@krixxset]

In spite of anything there may be or anything that may have been said one thing is undeniably true, you give these pieces of music more life than anyone I have ever herd.

[@garfreed]

Wonderful!

Superbe interprétation , la prise de son est excellente, Bravo. Merci pour ces vidéos.

[@TheBeethoven2]

Val,you are realy the best technical and interprete pianist than i never saw...you play with intelligence and great feeling.agility and a perfect respect for the composer idea it is a great chance for us to having the chance to anjoy your perfect,,,dynamic...and clean playing,,,,Bravo a milion time. scuse my english !!!

[@ledzed]

Wow!! Here's an exemple of a pianist with both truly godlike-transcendental technique and musicianship! I first came to know of Valentina's work by her Chopin's Etudes DVD, which is brilliant, just as any other of her Romantic virtuoso repertoire. But after this Beethoven I have no doubt she stands among the greatest pianists of history! The way she captures the essense of this piece (talking about the 3 movs here) is really the work of a genius. Hope I can one day attend to one of her concerts

[@miguelangelmiglionico1436]

THIS IS MORE BRIGHTER THAN 9° SYMPHONY, THERE IS NO LIGHT WITHOUT DARK THANKS A LOT BEETHOVEN

[@annereilley4892]

This piece is all about the left hand.

[@Darkboy2525]

Delightfull :) !

[@danmaia455]

The beginning reminds of the funeral march by Chopin.

[@ralphjean295]

i play this back in school in a talrnt show. love that song

[@alejandro79113]

Espléndida interpretación.

[@TheVita988]

2:47 oh my god ... this is awesome

[@eduardomacielmontes5867]

Bravisimo...Amazing performance... Beethoven has had two wonderfull interpreters: Valentina Lisitsa and Friederich Gulda...!!!

[@mariomarchitti]

The best Beethoven's piano movement.

[@Clavichordist]

My favorite too.

[@TheCleubebracho]

o que mais adoro é ficar sempre emocionada com Beethoven mas acabei escutando muita tecnica

[@30yehgerrman]

and music soothed even the savage beast.

[@RavenTonks]

this is my favorite movement

[@Clavichordist]

I really don't see how people can not like this. Valentina you put your heart into this and the performance is very warm and full of emotion, yet clear and not robotic like some many people play this as they get caught up in the technicalities.

[@Heikos01]

All is subjective. How would you compare, this same piece played by, say, Barenboim, with this? Comparatively, this one seems to contain a bit less depth, in my opinion.

[@Mohankeneh]

thats if he could hear it;) Great performance!

[@rainingautumn]

If Beethoven had known that there would ever be someone like Valentina Lisitsa, he would have definitely made the 2nd movement more difficult to play :-) As a matter of the fact, Valentina, you are really the best :-) At least for me.

[@55mayakeren55]

It's like an anthem

[@kismarik]

Sybelle!

[@ethansaltmere]

I need more fullness of sound! I need more beethoven! This is too early romantic for me, Beethoven may have been, but he was a totally different genre. He was earthy, obvious, almost lower-class music you could put it - indeed he made his music for the masses, while being incredibly deep music. While Chopin could be considered as a aristocratic genre of grace and charm, much more suited to Valentina. I am making NO discrimination of classes here, just general charasteristics of the music!

[@richardcabeza9596]

Hey KZbin! Don't play ads in the middle of Beethoven! WTF is wrong with you?

My son accidentally sign me up for KZbin premium and I got to tell you, it has reduced my stress level to and All Time Low! :-) for $12 per month, it's totally worth it to me. And I haven't even explored the music part of the subscription.

I'd say that she entered the mind of bethoven by some posession or something...Its perfect

its an Bosendorfer 290 Imperial. i has an extended bass, so it can reach the C0 (97 keys). if you look carefully you can see the extra keys, they are all blacks.

[@charliethehorse44]

@bqooxoopd As much as I suppose everyone has their own tastes, when I think of the Appassionata, I think of how she plays it. The way of which she puts all of her emotion into it and her passion. It may look like she wants to 'destroy' the piano, but the emotion is obviously there, and she does it perfectly.

[@inazuma3gou]

Around 4:20, I feel like I am at heaven... @ Ally123234 - I could image Horowitz (in his prime) clearing a bottle of Vodka and then play this while humming 9th Symphony.

Hey Ludwig, can you hear 👂 now properly after waking up from death?

[@IbrahimHoldsForth]

help! can't get out of head!

[@Paiola]

@PHW1991 Interesting. I just said to my girlfriend something similar while I was listening to the 1st mov. I told her sometimes Beethoven has phrases and rhythms that would fit perfectly in modern music, even popular music... Nice =D

[@danmaia455]

I know her tempo isn't wrong, but I rather listening it slower.

[@alcubierrevj]

I agree. I just like how it sounds somewhere between 0.75 and 0.85 speed.

[@kriskrax]

my favorite...: 2:44 to 3:44 - maybe the easiest part of this piece, but the most expressive

[@feldkhon]

Have you heard the 1rst movement? It's brilliant!

[@BouXIII]

@Paiola yeah i agree, imagine Muse doing a Rock/Mellow Song with Beethoven's apassionata 3rd mov. !

[@ClassicalDavid]

How can this video be from 2009 and look so good? haha i wonder

[@alcubierrevj]

While Lisitsa's virtuosity is quite evident at "normal (1.0)" speed in the video, I think that the musicality of the piece resonates better at 0.75 speed.

[@Ally123234]

@cmoimoro Did you just direct that at Lisitsa? "Pretty talented" "Not bad at it".. she isn't pretty talented, she's world class! And i can't imagine anybody playing this piece with a huge silly grin across their face.. (well, lang lang maybe)

I've seen some of you're videos, and you're pretty talented!! This masterpiece is one of the hardest ones to play.. and you're not bad at it! I can imagine that you've been practicing for at least 15 years.. you have let a lot of thing behind for your instrument.. I've done quite the same thing, but you're playing much better than me I assure you.. Maybe can't you put just a smile on you're face, it will make us feel that you're enjoying what you're doing, not being sad.. Keep going like that..

bro she's a trained concert pianist, of course she's talented
