It’s vibrant, powerful and resolute, just like him you don’t poke you decide with willpower, energy and unparalleled technical prowess. It’s definitive and sober. That’s Beethoven, chapeau!

Doug Hanson , if you ever get the chance to see her, go! Her concerts are even more stunning than the videos and best of all, she always takes her time afterwards to meet her fans. She takes a few minutes for each person, chats with you and is super nice. I met her, she gave me a hug, talked to me and let me have a picture with her. She is the nicest person, very down to earth and approachable.

Wonderful playing Val. I particularly enjoyed the 3rd movement. You brought out some alternate voicings I've not heard before. I am thoroughly enjoying your recording studio videos. The informality of the setting and dress gives us the feeling that we're sitting in a salon or large living room listening to you playing for friends or family.

Валентина, спасибо! Не могу представить, что Бетховена можно сыграть лучше, чем это делаете Вы... Не помню чьи это слова, что Бетховена надо играть, как будто вы играете первый раз... Вот Вы сейчас исполнили сонату, слышанную много раз, и мне кажется, что я сейчас её впервые только услышал, услышал именно так, как сам Бетховен её написал. Откровенный, открытый, кристально чистый звук! Откровенное, абсолютно честное исполнение, как и сама эта музыка - пронзительная в своей откровенности!

[@pakyukwokalex3683]

Every time after listening to yr playing i m motivated and go to play piano immediately❤️

[@niklassilen4313]

Anybody else noticed how piano interpretations of various pieces have become increasingly faster tempo over the years? Is it the same phenomenon as walking speeds in cities being accelerated the larger the city? Or talking speeds.. While I do like this interpretation I feel it's a bit overly hectic compared to the overly dramatic intro. Then again, it's Beethoven so contrasts are a given. Need to listen to this multiple times before I make up my mind. 2nd movement was absolutely beautiful! Love how delicate and slow the interpretation was. This is how I've always imagined it, as a lullaby.

Here Here! Ive seen many many players give it a go but no one comes close to Ms Lisitsa. Its such a perfect combination of technique, virtuosity, speed and accuracy that is not matched by anyone. God has given her something extraordinary. I'm so amazed at how she has dedicated her life to perfecting her talent.

[@kifer2594]

joe piano yes, it’s something that isn’t even supposed to exist, her level is in another dimension you can’t play it better, the emotions that she is expressing just by pressing these keys can’t match the intensity of the human experience, its like Liszt took LSD and fucking shot out to the outer space, or hitler having a tea cup with Gandhi

No coughing version! Yes! I think the sound quality and overall the timing and sound quality of her previous recording was spot on. If only it wasn't the coughing. Perhaps we could find a way to edit that out ( I know I could do it anyway). I like the first version better overall. I think this is an impressionist take on it. It is good but I liked the original better (minus the coughing!) This one to me is more of a sad or longing for something version of it rather than the more heroic and inspiring version I got from the previous version. Still an amazing piece of work :) keep it up Valentina!

[@buskman3286]

I've been a Beethoven nut since I was a teen and have heard uncountable artists perform his piano sonatas. But to my ear and my opinion of Beethoven based on a lot of reading over many years, she is the BEST Beethoven interpreter I have ever heard. FWIW, Number 8 is a bit special for me. When I was playing a lot this sonata was my personal "limit" for piano playing. On a really good day I could, with some luck, manage the 3rd movement of the Moonlight at tempo but this is the most difficult piano piece I could perform reliably. My friends/family probably heard it more than they wanted to... ;)
