Official Release Party at Royal Albert Hall, Valentina Lisitsa

[@kingtoadius]

i adore this woman!

[@levraiduj]

What a refreshing person... always a delight to hear her speak whatever the subject. She just makes me feel good

[@QGfk1]

Her English is really excellent, I think she just keeps her thick accent because she knows it's awesome.

[@charl3534]

she's so precious :c

[@Melpond]

What an amazing lady. Who could be sad watching someone so full of life.

[@soniapapadouri]

That insect is not a cockroach... is a beetle!!! My dearest Talented Valentina, you have a good sense of humor!!!

[@Hobott]

After being in hands of Valentina, that bug thinks: "Oh, I'm not an insect anymore!!!... I'm an angel and I can fly!.."

[@alisacs_f.l1312]

LMAO

[@halomoe]

I love that you're so close with your KZbin fans. It's really amazing and fun to see new videos on such a regular basis from you. Keep it up and I will be watching The Recital live from Australia. THANKS SO MUCH FOR PUTTING ON KZbin LIVE. Much love, Muhammed.

[@PianistStefanBoetel]

I find it so great that you speak so close to people on youtube with everything, not only your art but everything you feel like posting. A lot of other pianists would be too afraid or arrogant for that. Keep posting and playing, thank you!

[@MrJbaker7]

Valentina, you are wonderful as a person and of course, unbelievable as a Pianist...Jack Baker NYC

[@MrMarcos53057]

Hello, I'm your fan. I loved your link, super fun! Hugs from Brazil! :-))

[@wyssling]

the best PR i ever found Valentina - more interviews of this kind !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Desireyso58]

Yo también ADORO A ESTA DIVINA VALENTINA!!!

[@ozmonto]

Valentina you are precious! I am doing my LTCL exam this year and you are the only pianist I will actually come to to see what the pieces are like! Thank goodness for a pianist blessed with feeling and musicianship as well as skill!!! Good luck for the 19th! Let us know if you plan to come to new Zealand xxx

[@internetduck1520]

Only person alive to play the Totentanz solo Screams at cockroach in the best way possible

[@uritibon17]

Bitten by a radioactive insect at youth? This can explain Valentina's extraordinary technique and sensitivity.

[@mencken8]

Uri Tibon Even better- this “interview” demonstrates how well she has integrated that child, which must be retained, as its play is the source of creativity. How well she can play we all know.

[@alisacs_f.l1312]

Ive never tought I would be jealous of a bug

[@AaronPetitPiano]

I met her a few days ago. She was very down to earth, friendly, approachable and seemed like a cool person. My only impression was that she didn't seem to be eccentric or strange in any way. I found this surprising because I most concert artists are... Kissin, Gould, Richter... Then I saw her do an interview with a bug and realized that she is a true musician!

[@musica98100]

Ella es muy dulce!

[@lisitsavalentino4034]

Your scream was funny😂😂😂

[@lukebrown2834]

I love this video, and your music!

[@UnAvis]

Any date for Montreal coming. I want to see you so badly!

[@berklee24365678]

I love Valentina Lisitsa. Very much. I come from Taiwan.

[@gilgemash]

We love you VALENTINA!

[@nanvonoffenbach]

Se presenta en alguna ciudad más de Latinoamérica? si sabes algo dime, gracias.

[@CsairusjohnHabla]

speaking of Flight of the bumblebee, i hope to see a video of you, playing that nice piece. :

[@SILVIECZ]

I wish you all best for your concert .. :)

[@TheVita988]

Valentina ... please come to Czech Repulic ! please ! i must see you

[@aadhityaanu]

Damn that bug. He has no idea who he was interviewed by.

[@hitokiricancer]

You are amazing!!!

[@djcpianist]

Can't wait to see you on the 19th! :D

[@612curtis]

Hahaha, Valentina, you are a complete legend! XD

[@heliosium]

good luck in your performances.

[@Silory12]

"well, bye! Mr. Cockroach! :D hope to see you in the concert." LOL xD badass

[@BiosR1]

мы верим в тебя

[@drrh1663]

We're also in south Texas. Know the ones you've mentioned!

[@Dad4Life]

You and Jackie Evancho should perform together sometime. On stage your musical talents are simply amazing. But when you are not performing you both have a sweet innocence about you that just makes everyone smile

[@andreea140794]

I'm going to London this summer and I will to the Royal Albert Hall and sit where Valentina sat (outside)

[@iLoveChopin]

valentina! please please please please please please PLEASE PLEASE come to Australia!!! :(

[@Silory12]

"oh, he doesnt feel so well..." whahah

[@daz1750]

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant!!!

[@olafzuberbuehler4737]

Nice woman and great artist!

[@S3844]

June 19th: You do a huge recital, I have my RCM Grade 8 Exam :P

[@truBador2]

I would like to think that Valenina would rescue a random Anglo bug from chemical warfare. Well done!

[@lmgaulin]

So hilarious and lovely! Great!

[@agravante19]

That insect must be feeling very lucky to have Ms. Valentina;s hand :)

[@icelopak]

BTW, Val -- You're playing at 8:00PM. You may wish to be there 2 or 3 minutes earlier. And, unless you had shown me this video, I'd never have guessed that you actually played with the beatles in the U.K.

[@NEMO-NEMO]

Unique in every way.

[@pianoprodigy987]

valentina, was carnegie hall or royal albert hall a better experience for you?

[@paulosergiomendes4276]

VOCÊ É MARAVILHOSA!!!!!!!! WONDERFUL!!!!!!

[@martinadler73]

Maybe you should also include in your program some variations on "La Cucaracha".

[@yum-yumtime3863]

Валентина, приезжайте к нам в Санкт-Петербург!!! Мы Вас очень ждем.

[@gilgemash]

Keebearfull Exactly. My sentiments. You said it. Thanks.

[@hermitcrabbot]

Do you prefer your hotel room bugged or un-bugged? ( Thanx to Monty Python )

[@Draxis32]

I loved this joke/critic she does, also went kinda worried with a bug on such godly hands.

[@luanfreire1]

I'm waiting for you in Salvador-Brazil :)

[@meetmarie1]

Вы такая замечательная :) очень бы хотелось однажды попасть на Ваш концерт.

[@alotus9]

You are so cool! :)

[@wrigleyx]

[@MrCavitysChessCorner]

Valentina -- Just to let you know your website is difficult to read because there is white font against a white background.

[@eddie1344]

So funny! Hilarious!

[@hbmp88]

I like this type of "release party" much better hahaha :D

[@dlgrim0621]

[@cyozdemir113]

Hahahaha :D thats incridible :D the things makes me smile.. really interesting..

[@lepelek]

lol! really fun) he will come!

[@Blackwish92]

you are amazing :D

[@armatriz]

I want to be that cockroach!!!! I love you Valentina!! you are awesome!

[@fredrickroll06]

Gregor Samsa in Franz Kafka's wild tale "The Transformation" turns into a cockroach - so it's happened before, at least in fiction. I could change places with Gregor Samsa if it would make it possible for me to nestle in Valentina's divinely talented hand!

[@fredrickroll06]

I think it's a bug/beetle, as in Mussorgsky's delightful song "Zhuk" ("The Beetle") in his "Detskaya" ("Nursery") cycle, not a cockroach. To further answer the moderator's question: there's not only Scriabin's "Mosquito," but also Shostakovich’ music to the highly political film, “The Gadfly,” the also deliciously political "Song of the Flea" from Part 1 of Goethe's "Faust," set to music by Beethoven and - much more tellingly! - by Mussorgsky ("Blokhá").

[@greyantelope]

Never would have taken you for a Beatles fan. You are obviously enjoying yourself and you deserve to do so after the grueling regime you follow on a daily basis.

[@DoWhatYouWantfull]

HAHAHAH You're so awesome! :P

[@mcnultyfp]

in re: bad hair day, look at Mauricio Kagel's 'Van Beethoven' (1970) for nightmare hair day, especially second half

[@zanteson]

Valentina, you are so funny:)

[@rickardosrickardos]

Valentina....you are insane lol!

[@dlgrim0621]

Hi Valentina!This is so funny-a new place to look for fans!LOLThe Beatles should be fans allready!LOL Lets go for a ride an sing We'all Live In A Yellow Submarine-good for adventures!Maybe this beatlle will show at concert with some friends!EEEK!I wish I could go-nuts!I'll sing "If I Were A Rich Man"-Fiddler On The Roof!I hope Hilary doesn't try that!LOLAlways On YOur Side U R in My heart and prayers!Daniel

[@operaguy1]

Best fortune to you Valentina. Have a joyful time. By the way, I get why you play Für Elise. operaguy (John Caedan)

[@Stefanivan35]

Valentina courage God be with you! Tell me something ....lisitsa in ukraine language mean fox?

[@jstanley011]

We've got these big, ugly, fat, squishy bugs out all over the place here in south Texas. I only see this species every three years or so. I can send you one if you'd like... :D

[@parintelebaiazid80]

I like the way she says "goldfish" :)

[@TexasLovesValentina]

You are an amazing sprite! Love...love...love!

[@JoshCessnaPiano]

Valentina, you so silly!

[@lflarry1]

Hah That bug used to be an agent in a former life lol

[@nodan31]

I agree!!! Please :-)

[@L.M1792]

i see potential in seperating families in this act of misunderstanding. it reminds me of the classic love song 'Even Australia Wasn't Enough'. also the story of the rat that became a kitchen chief, but anyway it looked like a wonderful day wow. I hope your playing was well received more than the fleet street hump back who simply can't take piss off for an answer. Good luck.

[@shurik2871]

buenas noches

[@zirianos]

jajajajaja Just Excelent!!!!

[@rickyblount2007]

Good for you, Valentina! That bug looked so happy and free once you released it! That was a very socialist thing to do! You saved it from "capitalist extermination!"

[@keebearfull]

Is there anywhere in the world fingers and hands -such as Val's- that can, with discriminating dexterity, so graciously handle both cockroaches and keys? Rachmaninoff would be proud!

[@Clavichordist]

Bug music... Bartok's Diary of a Fly from his Mikrocosmos.

[@KC-wn4hi]

2:13 LoL

[@mcnultyfp]

insert 'your' after briefly

[@pruochno]

oh, he met Adele!

[@marcolevi7452]

JAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAA She's awesome.

[@rasibra]

I'm used to front row seat when she plays on you tube that I was right next to her as she played for us for nothing at chappell of bond street

[@kulisicd]

Sviđa mi se...

[@xenawolf]

I think it's actually a beatle(no pun intended).

[@thom2629]

[@kaleidoscopio5]

IT SHOWS THAT SHE CAN BE A BIG GIRL,AND STILL PLAY GREAT.AND THE BUG,WAS THE MOST ELOCUENT INTERVIEWER............LOL

[@holman26]

[@SturmpapstXII]
