Her specutacular performance with exquisite skill and breathtaking technique and splendid attire is beyond description , and comfortable to the ear and the mind This is a requiem from Mussorgsky's deep love and sorrow for his late friend . The regretful thought of genius Mussorgsky who has gone through an unfortunate life is incalculable to me . Without Mussorgsky and Ravel and their great performers , the classical music world would have been very lonely and insipid , and the enjoyment and pleasures of the classical music would have been very less I'm just impressed by listening to his masterpiece on her performance with incomparable talent . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

[@andrewjmesser]

She made obvious mistakes in the first 2 sections. Now, she can play this piece and I can't, but you can't call her performance incomparable. She is much better at Chopin!

@Konstantin Ridaya Thank-you so much to your wonderful comments Good luck ！

[@shin-i-chikozima]

@Konstantin Ridaya Thank-you so much to your splendid andimpressive comments Take care of yourself Good luck ！

[@kaleidoscopio5]

She played at my city today. She finished her programme with this piece. She played like here. But one thing is listen to her in you tube and is very different listened to her live. Yes, maybe is not perfect, so? All the audience get crazy clapping her. Sometimes beauty doesn't mean an accurate performance. Bravo, Val, you are a pro.

[@kaleidoscopio5]

Good point...:-)

[@29MidnightLights]

actually, bravo is an expresion, not an adjective, in Spain we don't say brava.

[@luky46]

Valentina Lisitsa’s interpretations are always and unquestionably the best

[@bakuto.1055]

I love everybody but I don't like the speed of the 1st promenade

[@starfire.chuang]

Thank you so much Mr. @Rune Jørgensen!!

[@rudbeckie1]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prima primissima!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Děkuji ! !

[@craigmclanachan1663]

A wonderful piece, performance and instrument! Thank you Valentina!

[@PointyTailofSatan]

Many people think the piano version is a transcription of the orchestral version. It's the opposite. Written for the piano, and superbly transcribed to orchestra by Ravel.

[@yves-noel-mariegonnet1043]

Thank you Valentina. I really like this music which tells a story, full of idea and imagination, you interpret it very well. Thank you Valentina! Merci Valentina. J'aime beaucoup cette musique qui raconte une histoire, pleine d'idée et d'imagination, vous l’interprétez très bien. Merci Valentina!

[@samynohff]

What is this lady? Is she from our world? Or is she an alien, or what.!? She is a unique phenomenon in the world of pianists, have never seen or heard anything like this before.!! I've been listening, and watching for over 50 years to the top and greatest pianists of the twentieth century, but I've never seen or heard anything like this.!! She's capable to generate sounds from the piano, never heard it from any pianist before ..!! Is she a human like us ..!? I'm really feeling lucky that I've lived to enjoy this incredible magnificent pianist .!!! ,,, Thank you a million, for the upload.

[@enoquesant2000]

I saw her performing live in a piano festival in my city, just some meters from me. It was unforgettable! She played this piece, also "hungarian rhapsody No 2" (by Liszt), "heroic Polonaise op. 53" A flat major (by Chopin), "moonlight sonata op. 27" (by Beethoven), and other pieces I don't remember now.

[@josemariacoutomoreira9805]

Vale muito a pena assistir a gloriosa Valentina na Internet. Pode-se pedir quantos bis forem desejáveis ...

[@michelr657]

When i was young studying the piano at the university level everything needed to be fast (mostly to show off technique) how it's so nice to be over 60 and to take my time ...still though, great performance ms. Lesista !!!

[@culturalivrebr]

Michel Roy nice comment

[@GorZart]

Thank you for posting. She's my favorite.

[@BenSadounJeremie]

Incredibly creative performance. I love it.

[@palmaiattila3288]

Interesting improvisation already in the first Promenade. But Valentina’s extremely individualistic interpretation is so impressive!

[@LarchenkoTF]

Mona Lisa of Music! (pun's not intended)

[@miltkx]

Well done Valentina! Your version is as good as the best i;ve ever heard (Earl Wild)

[@ilovemycatrussell9298]

No it’s not.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

She plays overwhelmingly and fabulously well at 「the Great Gate of Kiev 」 キエフの大門が圧巻 Her specutacular performance of 「The Great Gate of Kiev 」 is a magnificent Requiem for Mussorgsky's departed friend . I can understand the feeling of longing for Mussorgsky's late friend . I can not listen to this masterpiece without tears From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

[@a21gramm]

Simply wonderful ! :-)

[@iainmacdonald8379]

The guy playing endlessly with his phone would have driven me completely insane had I been there.

[@enoquesant2000]

He doesn't know how to appreciate the good things of life! I would pay to see her performing this piece.

[@enoquesant2000]

Fantástica! Amei esta pianista desde que vi um de seus vídeos pela primeira vez. Esta interpretação foi excelente.

[@abbassarange6579]

Valentina you are unrepeatable, unique pianist in the world .👏🌹❤

[@agustintorres1845]

Thanks Rune: nowdays we have amazing interpretations such as Eugene Kissin and Kathia Buniatishvili. All of them different and beautiful. Please enjoy

[@jamesgibson2179]

You mean her with the heaving bosom ?

[@eporze]

Gran obra, gigante, en piano,en orquesta.Me emociona profundamente.Bellisima interpretacio'n!!!!.-

[@antoninotrotta3851]

Thanks 😍

[@Neueregel]

great !! thanks from Greece, Europe

[@yves-noel-mariegonnet1043]

Merci Valantina! Je suis fan!

[@m0ment219]

I don't think I've ever seen her play on a different piano than Bösendorfer. I remember when I had a concert at one of their fabrics in Austria, there were pictures of her all over the hall xD

[@jacquesaubin4454]

Excellent Gate of Kiev......dig the resonance decay at the end!!

[@carmenaballi]

Para mí él Promenade es demasiado rápido, me imagino a Mussorgsky caminando con sus botas militares sobre la nieve de Rusia , más lentamente, y en cierto modo tristemente... musicalmente esta obra la pienso muy distinta pero es una interesante version, la tuya, te tengo por una grandísima pianista, gracias Valentina! Estoy estudiando la puerta de Kiev es una maravilla esta obra. Qué suerte que tengas una mano tan grande!😍😘😘😘

[@Leolopes108]

Adorei ! Grato por compartilhar. Musica inspiradora para minha proxima exposição de #bonitomosaico .

[@Desireyso58]

La Divina Valentina!

[@GnomicMaster]

Horowitz has come back from giving God piano lessons and he was reincarnated as Lisitsa. She's phenomenal. Gives me goosebumps of shear joy.

[@wilmadeering3762]

Refreshing! She made this rather awkward goofy music shine!

[@jamesgibson2179]

Goofy music ? You must be a thick American !

[@parkthoven]

Bosendorfer model 225, 4 extra keys~~~:)

[@А.П-и3к]

Браво!

[@bartrainer3916]

WOW!

[@edwardcrimson2138]

a child's little trip of the exhibition. too exciting to take a detail look for most pictures. the only thing imprints in his/her memory is the gate of Kyiv.

[@chavatjana]

เธอเก่งมาก

[@escommentss]

Whoa whoa whoa... Where's the fire??

[@А.П-и3к]

Я слушала только в оркестровом исполнении, молодец Лисица, уникальная пианистка! Баба яга (избушка на курьих ножках) это фейерверк!

[@josecampillo1830]

Eugeny kissin pra mim é o melhor interprete,dessa suíte de Moussorgsky

[@jackieking1522]

A friend used to play this.... I prefer his tempo, but wonder if that is just my memory faulting...... this ain't bad but just a bit solemn .

[@wilmadeering3762]

refreshing. very interesting. she made this rather awkward goofy music shine!

[@shin-i-chikozima]

生命体溢れる素晴らしい手、迫力あります。

[@temp_name_change_later]

This is a fantastic performance, and I know this was originally a piano piece, but to be totally honest, I kind of prefer the orchestral version.

[@dwhits90]

Ms. Lisitsa takes a lot of freedom with the music that I didn't think was appropriate. Many omissions/additions occurred throughout the piece that I don't feel is respectful of the composer's intentions. She also made many preventable errors at critical moments that really detracted from the performance.

[@petenjohn1]

I quite like the speed. I hate dawdling.

[@thomassanchez8956]

Good but nothing like Emerson Lake and Palmer doing it✌🏼❤️

[@А.П-и3к]

Комментарии все на ин.языке, странно... Слушайте Мусоргского в исполнении В. Лисицы!

[@hermannschaefer4777]

Fast as expected. Some pieces almost too fast, but well, it's Valentina..

[@talastra]

Schmuyle's argument in this version is more poignant and persuasive that most version I hear (which play him for laughs, and the argument in general as parody).

[@benisica3785]

It is difficult to enjoy the beauty of paintings at the museum when one is in a hurry and move at a high pace. What is even more frustrating to hear is the interpretation of the great gate of Kiev particularly from 33:10 . Why does she put too much weight on the speed and showing off her prowess to play very fast ???? Not to mention that at such a high speed, she hit a number of unwritten notes. The greatness of the great gate Kiev is lost.

[@veronekovideos7148]

This time i prefer kissin's performance of this piece

[@hansmuller1846]

This was not my favorite interpretation of these pieces, which is fine. In my opinion, these pieces demand to be played in the sense of their title, and not like any other piece that has a generic name only with knowledge and intuition. A good example for this is the Gnomus. It just doesn't sound like a dwarf to me. Anyways, well done!

[@ulysseargoud3276]

I prefer the interpretation of Khatia Buniatishvili.

[@jamesgibson2179]

You mean her with the heaving bosom as a distraction ?

[@johng2880]

shame about the teenage girl directly behind bored out of her mind right at the start of Great Gate of Kiev .......

[@Verkrekt]

John G The same teenager was also being bored when Valentina played Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 🤯

[@jhoansebastianinfante3499]

Ay no, pobre

[@geraldmuller4683]

This best performance of this piece, imho, is by Richter or Pletnev. Much better!

[@tamaridzze]

Find Antonii Baryshevskiy interpretation, it's my favourite))

[@tomkristensen3919]

She should try decaf :-) Too fast for my taste, but hey…

[@Saxshoe]

I feelt like I was going to have a heart attack, her Promenades are too fast!

[@rothenbeauregard6430]

I really dislike this interpretation. Im Sorry Valentina

[@andre1214g]

May I suggest you this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHnCg6aibMudpc0

[@Evaldas521]

Apology not accepted

[@AsterPBX]

Also kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3qydo2epMx6sKs

[@bernicefrombelize]

Khatia Buniatishvili's version is heaven.

[@spikespa5208]

That Promenade was more of a sprint.

[@netterstyl]

Promenade played WAY too fast, Great Gate at Kiev played WAY too slow.

[@NFECTUS1]

WTFAY?

[@AnnaGrishchinsky]

Прочитала о Валентине в википедии. Какое разочарование! Вы были моей любимой исполнительницей. Как вам в голову пришло поддержать людоедскую политику крошки Цахеса?

[@jamesgibson2179]

Now you ARE being silly !

[@johnnyp6202]

not even remotely musical..music does not fit her at all

[@prestonjones3319]

Johnny P really, "music does not fit her". Valentina is one of the greatest pianists, and always has a unique and wonderful interpretation.

[@samynohff]

How can a DEAF assess a musical work ..!?

[@ilovemycatrussell9298]

Completely unsuccessful, robotic, and rushed rendition of this performance.
