Valentina playing Scriabin!!! The world is so wonderful!!!

[@aldoringo439]

That op.11 no.15 Lento took me to another dimension

[@marinacollins5220]

Дорогая, наша Валентина,Вы снова слышимы и обозримы после такого перерыва, показавшимся, как целая вечность для нас.Открыв сегодня ранним утром Ваш сайт, так стало ясно и спокойно на душе, и всякого рода беспокойства и тревоги за Вас сразу отошли на задний план, когда заслушиваешься таким честным и чистым исполненнием. Столько утверждённости, размышлений и рассуждений, сколько простой, банальной человечности исходит от всего, что создаётся вокруг Вас. С Вами и музыка приобретает разговор и Мудрость.Все эти состояния и держат на плаву нашу Землю. Невероятно скучали, ждали и надеялись только на добро....Благодарим за Ваш неоценимый труд, такой необходимый, как пример великой самоотдачи во благо Любви и Мира.

[@Thomas11611]

Still to this day, I see you as such a huge role model in piano for me. If I ever found out that you became a Professor of piano and gave students lessons, you had better believe that I would go anywhere in the world to have you as a teacher.. you have a rare gift and I feel like it is such a privilege to watch your videos on KZbin. One day I want to meet you. I would probably stutter a lot if I met you because I'm such a huge fan. . watching this also makes me miss being a piano major... I lost my tuition and could not continue studying piano.. I was a senior close to graduation.. hearing this makes me miss one of my teachers, Dr.Park, very much.. she herself is very phenomenal... thank you so much for everything you do, Valentina. Hopefully one day I get a masterclass from you. It would be a dream come true ^_^

[@massimiliano-oronzo]

The music of Scriabin is so mysteriously fascinating

[@tatjanazab9437]

Удивительные руки ,крылья лебедя!Валентина не играет музыку ,она в ней живёт!!!!Прелюдии Скрябина это маленькие шедевры которые так же шедеврально играет Валентина.

[@dr0benway]

Serge Conus, the nephew of George( Scriabins first compostition teacher ) and Leon Conus ( an acclaimed pianist who was friend of AS ), was perhaps the last authority on AS's style of playing. Valentina's playing has the same authenticity as Conus' and reigns over Horowitz, Kissin, the the others. She plays Scriabin as Scriabin played. Bravo

[@ClassicalJams]

You are a bright light in the world of music and such an inspiration to me! You are simply the best and your interpretation and performance was magical. The music flows through you like it is your very own....so charming, so elegant, so beautiful!! BRAVO! ~Jackie

[@ClassicalJams]

ValentinaLisitsa You are so very welcome Valentina!! My pleasure :-))) Take good care, ~Jackie

[@craigmclanachan1663]

Wonderful music and playing. You have a way of making music live even for those who may not have heard it before. I love the ballet of your hands as you caress the keys, every movement and pressure intentional and dramatic. I can't imagine my world without you. Thank you for your service to music and for being a thoroughly nice person.

[@clyneheretic]

The strength of a warrior, the touch of an angel - and a depth of feeling that would make the composer weep tears of joy. Another masterclass from this truly astonishing talent. Brava!

[@sirsynth225]

After 5 months of silence: SHE'S BACK! Yes!!! Still loving the piano apparently ;-) Keep posting those beautiful pieces!

[@GourouxPete]

Wonderful to see and hear you back here once again Valentina - and with some amazing offerings from the Scriabin oeuvre. I would describe them as musically sumptuous, thanks to your capturing their depth of sonority and resonance. We are blessed to be able to share your realisations of these pieces. Thank you SO much.

[@white95wing49]

you are my favorite pianist Valentina I understood so much about music listening and watching your videos I highly admire your hard work and your beatiful spirit great performance !

[@LucasKingPiano]

You're the best Valentina. The complete pianist, all your interpretations are spot on. Artistry, technique and feel in everything you do. You're such a huge inspiration =D

[@pacobrezel]

Valentina thank you for introducing me in such an excellent way to Scriabin works. This is a beautiful componist.

[@Desireyso58]

Valentina: I think that you are the greatest of all times, not only cause the talented woman I see, but because your delicacy and the way you answer to us. Thanks for being VALENTINA!

[@antoninotrotta3851]

Only a wonderful person can be a wonderful pianist that play in a such wonderful way.

[@TheSapo98]

+ValentinaLisitsa He's absolutely right!

[@TJMalana]

I’m rewatching this vid again and Prelude Op 11 No. 15 is my most favorite piece on here. It’s very emotional! 🥲

[@korkars]

Valentina, such a great emotion!

[@Arbie812]

Much love from Canada, Val, with deep regret at the shameful actions of a few who tarnish the reputation of this whole country.

[@jordanstephens95]

Always brings a spark of anticipation to my heart whenever I see a new upload from you, Valentina. Thank you again for sharing this music with us.

[@acuriousergeorge]

Oh, this brightens up a gloomy, pre-hurricane fall day. Wonderful. If you were back in your NC home, you could be preparing a candlelight video! Anyway, great to hear you. Laura and I are going to try to make one of the Baltimore concerts.

[@HammAlexander]

I have no idea where you get the inspiration. must be talent ore previous life. I can't imagine having the talent, time, knowledge, information to have the diversity in playing all these different kinds of composer's and their music. therefore I am so glad we have KZbin an you. You make the world a better place.

[@สุทินส่งมหาชัย]

So much pleased to listen her music inside out Through these pieces. Thanks.

[@anthonyhazlewood5788]

Valentina, you have the best classical subscription channel of all... I cannot get over how you give the illusion of your hands being all over the piano, and at the same time only seeming to lightly brush the keys in passing... Beautiful technique Valentina... Thank you for sharing with us...

[@aldoringo439]

Played brilliantly with a pure Russian soul.

[@Avery_Piano]

YES!! I just love seeing you play music and your really the biggest reason I keep playing because I want to play for people and make them happy just like you do :D

[@newmedtner]

I love how effortlessly you execute these difficult pieces. I could listen for hours on end.

[@StevenParrisWard]

Perfect as always. My favourite contemporary pianist who plays beautifully and looks beautiful too.

[@robertpapp9280]

This is my all time favorite! So colorful, poetic, touching...

[@Memale2009]

Chère Valentina! Je suis heureuse de vous retrouver sur ce forum avec cette merveilleuse interprétation de Sciarabin. Merci!

[@789armstrong]

At last some superb performances of these miniature masterpieces by Valentina who studied under Sofronitsky, probably Scriabins greatest interpreter.

[@emyrwyn604]

carl armstrong Sofronitsky died before she was born, assuming you mean Vladimir Sofronitsky?

[@jotabefrema1016]

Awesome, Holy Lisitsa! Thank you for all the beauty in this video.

[@IshtarM]

¡ Hola, Ms. Lisitsa! tiene Ud. un don maravilloso que ha sabido cultivar y hacerlo crecer, Me encantan sus interpretaciones. Desde que la conozco la admiro y mi admiración por Ud. crece cada dia. ¡Saludos, virtuosa Valentina Lisitsa! _Hi, Ms. Lisitsa! You have a wonderful gift that you have improved it day after day. I love all your performances. Since I met you, I admired you and my admiration grows every day. Best Regards, virtuosa Valentina Lisitsa._

[@jasonfrost2487]

Beautifully deep and dark. So glad to see you here again as I listen to your soul.

[@samloomes5566]

Honestly you're incredible, I want to be able to play like you one day. Especially love your Rachmaninoff!

[@eleonora10]

素晴らしい演奏をありがとう！ thank u for amazing playing!!

[@andreamartini7880]

The first time that I watched a video of this channel I was 7. Now I'm thirteen and every time that I watch your videos I think: "She's the best!". And I don't change my idea! You've got a magic sound that only few people have (sorry for the bad english, but really wanted to write this comment)!!!

[@andreamartini7880]

+ValentinaLisitsa You're welcom, it's a honor to listen you whenever I want!

[@MikkeyOFish]

Спасибо... Это - божественно...

[@CarlosRicovslosmolinosdeviento]

[@aleksandarsmederevac5573]

finally, i have been waiting for something Scriabin😊 thank you Valentina for sharing this video!

[@8246NIKI]

Какая музыка!!! Какие красивые руки.

[@Shihtzulover0323]

Wow what you played with the Florida orchestra tonight was AMAZING! And you seemed so relaxed and confident about the music played. I used to play piano and now I play viola for an orchestra and I have never heard playing like that in my life! How you managed to memorized all of that (1 hours worth) of what I can imagine being very complex music is beyond me! Your are truly a inspiration! Nice work, keep it up! :)

[@bobscratchit]

beautiful as always valentina

[@brtsabmetube]

As always excellent !!! Thanks !!! Valentina. Adolfo Blanco from Caracas, Venezuela. I am your fan # 1.

I love listening and watching your every stroke. Pure poetry. I'm very grateful for receiving this email from you. I can hardly wait for what's coming next. I only wish I could play half as good as you.

[@AdelieChen]

So beautiful! Love it❤

[@kuranuada1094]

I had the pleasure of seeing this magnificent artist perform at the Straz on Oct. 2nd. Her performance of Rachmaninoff's 3rd piano concierto was breath taking.

[@jlboul]

I just love to watch Valentina play!

[@IsabelSantos-dv9qo]

You are my favourite pianist! Please come to Portugal!

[@brtsabmetube]

[@christinarhee9251]

Just all the music you play are always fantastic and sounding so nice sometimes very powerful and really soft. I love the way how you control your power and techniques. Thank you so much for sharing your video :)

[@adalina3166]

Valentina querida....un afectuoso saludo para ti....Siempre es un placer escucharte...

[@newmedtner]

I listen to this recording every morning on my way into Toronto. It makes the train ride much easier at 6:15 and by the time I get to school I feel great. Thank you for this! And as a brief aside, have you ever considered doing any Medtner. I love to hear your take on him!

[@thomasm5714]

Divinely beautiful and inspiring playing as always. That must be the most beautiful interpretation I ever heard of Prelude No. 2 in A minor. Большое спасибо, Валентина. Приезжайте в Ирландию, пожалуйста, и играете в Дублине.

[@2x2again]

Спасибо!

[@mateusvcruz]

I love you so much! Your interpretation make me feel a inside peace. You are so amazing. Do more videos for us. A kiss.

[@kimberlysalico-diehl4847]

Thank you Valentina - I have always loved your interpretation and artistry. I am grateful for your dedication to this art.

[@fg87fgd]

What a beautiful gift this recording is, thank you! No 14 is my favourite, a master's work, both a decent physical exercise and a great piece of music, isn't it?

[@sagererf]

I saw you in Nürnberg and you were amazing! I was to shy to talk to you but thank you for the concert it was incredible! Just thank you! :)

[@sagererf]

+ValentinaLisitsa I will definitely come and I hope I can talk to you. Your awesome, thank you :)

[@kleinrobert6314]

Merveilleusement Belle !..................

[@Mastropierofafa]

Sublime.!! Gracias Valentina.

[@aldoringo439]

The 2nd one depicts such a peluculiar but yet familiar emotion, its like its what that inner feeling would sound like if it could make sound.

[@TJMalana]

OMG Val I was so happy to see this in my inbox this morning. I don't care what anybody says about you. You're my biggest inspiration in spite of all you had to endure for the past couple of months. I can't waiti to buy your new album. And Question have you ever heard of the classical composer Lera Auerbach? Her Preludes and Ten Dreams compositions are quite mystical to listen to and play.

[@TJMalana]

+ValentinaLisitsa I've played some of Auerbach's music. The last movement of her "Memento Mori" is really difficult to play. There are so many difficult chromatic jumps with small hands like me that barely reaches octaves. I can't wait for you to try some of her music for yourself either on YT or a concert. The minute any of her music touches your hands it will take you to a whole different place. I can't get enough of her compositions. It feels like a combination of Rach and Prokofiev.

[@georgenox4482]

+ValentinaLisitsa Do you plan to perform any of Auerbach 's music in the future?

[@frietzengrunbauer-felius7243]

+GeorgeNox for instance: prelude 4, 16, 24

[@eddiedecazalet6836]

Always amazing!
