7:37 to 7:42 The fact that she plays this section flawlessly at tempo with the ORIGINAL FINGERING is absolutely insane. A lot of pianists "cheat" during this part by crossing over the hands instead of playing the LH and RH independently, but Valentina manages to achieve that light cascading sound without sacrificing speed at all. The benchmark for perfect technique if ever there was one...

Unlike other young famous young pianists such Khatia, Valentina really speaks truly love for music, she is not trying to show herself as a sex symbol or trying to sell her physical appearance, she does respect the meaning of real music and the composer.

if I walked into a classical music shop that sold classical music on shelving and this song was playing through the speakers I honestly wouldn't know who was playing, but I so love this understanding. truly unbelievable expression through our meager frames. It must be from the aether. wonderful. I would give this 5 out of 5. top marks.
