Liszt Consolation D flat major No.3 (S.172) Valentina Lisitsa

Horowitz playing this is just as good as her as well. Look for the video that has sheet music on the thumbnail and lasts 4:26.

[@claramaciel8452]

I really appreciate Barenboim's performance

[@4Topwood]

One of the best examples of the healing powers of classical music. It looks into the heart, sees all, understands all and forgives all in a few short minutes, both a balm and a benediction. There's a very sharp division between the private Liszt and the public Liszt as expressed in his music, more so than with any other composer. It seems critics tend to disregard the former and attack the latter.

[@MusicTransciption94]

I love Franz Liszt. Liszt is Liszt. No one is like him. None of other's music is like his. I hate it when people say that Liszt's music is lack of unique characteristics. You do great job to prove it. Thank you!

Such a free melody interpretation. Absolutely gorgeous.

C'est la meilleure interprétation de Consolation N° 3 que j'ai entendue jusqu'à présent car on entend bien le jeu de la main gauche, et aussi le rubato, ce qui n'est pas le cas de la plus part des autres pianistes écoutés dans ce beau morceau de Liszt. Donc, félicitations à vous Valentina et un grand merci pour le partage. Un régal, vraiment !

I love this. You play with feeling and grace. I have some of your CDs and really appreciate them but what a pleasure it is to see you play. On every track your hands perform a musical ballet.There is just such a feast of information on the video I find myself returning constantly. Don't take any notice of the critics who sometimes grandstand about you, you are a star, a positive and giving musical presence.

[@lepetitorchestre2730]

Les mots ne peuvent dire ce que je viens d'entendre. Cette vidéo miraculeuse est le résultat d'une longue chaine humaine : le facteur de piano, le compositeur (inspiré par le ciel) , l'interprète, l'ingénieur du son, les chercheurs du CERN qui ont inventé le principe d'internet...etc. Un ange passe...le temps comme suspendu...des gouttes de larmes....fluidité dans le jeu...sensibilité..."La musique creuse le ciel, disait Baudelaire". Merci !

[@cocchiaf]

Oh, Valentina. I'm speechless... The way you caress the keyboard... Sublime. I'm really astonished. Thanks you so much.

[@ashtynrms]

with liszt, it's all about the person playing and being able to picture and write a story along with the music. his music carries you in a way that you really have to appreciate and valentina interpreted it so well. you can tell that whenever she plays, she always seems to carry an emotion with it. liszt really tends to put emotion in his pieces whether it be anger, sadness, happiness, you always feel it with him. thank you, valentina for playing this piece so beautifully!

[@donnagilligan2905]

What grace you have Valentina. You play with such beauty and artistry. Thank you for playing Liszt on my favorite piano !

[@johnrenehan7406]

😅 cannot agree sorry - she s good , along with many thousands more classical pianists

[@davidhertzberg]

Her fingers do not merely play, but carress the keys... hence, this tender and exquisite performance.

[@roberto2012-i7l]

How wonderful! ... And it's only Valentina and her piano.

[@MDkid1]

davidhertzberg I find that to be the most irritating part of her playing. I don't understand the finger theatrics, just play the music and be done with it. Its not visually appealing at all!

[@davidhertzberg]

MDkid1 I am no expert, but from what I have read about technique, those are not theatrics. There is most certainly a way of depressing the keys to obtain the desired effect. Others more knowledgeable may wish to comment. regards

[@divvy1400yam600]

davidhertzberg iIthink you are correct. Speakingas a very mediocre pianist stroking the keys enables a very soft precise sound to be producd. This is especpially true on a piano where the keys are not so free. though as I write I also think if the keys are very free then downward pressure may well produce too loud a sound.

[@alexandrugheorghe5610]

+LittleMissTotoro yeah you get that with Russian school mostly, they insist a lot on this part and especially on scales and arpeggios with amazing results of course :-)

[@pffortes]

As Horowitz said about music, “controlled emotion”. Beautiful!

[@davidedwinhoneywill2611]

Beautiful, moving, a voice gently sharing something lovely with someone else that is unforgettable...and this rendition is unique. It caresses like a balm, healing and restoring, in a gentle, caring way. Truly an inspired treasure to hold onto. God bless you for sharing your gift!

[@adastra1623]

Dear Teacher, I think you've learned it in less than ten minutes and then, you gave it another 45 minutes to perfect every detail. Your execution is beautiful: you've utilized a very delicate touch and pauses that come both from your soul. For the first time after 25 years, in this period of my life, I started again to play the piano and I chose this wonderful consolation as a first step: your performance is, for me, an excellent guide. I often think that you prodigy pianists, just because you were born prodigy, do not understand what we feel when we listen to you at the piano. In this world without principles and feelings, you and your colleagues produce "the real beauty", you're a gifts of God. It's always a great pleasure to listen to you.

[@trampismat]

I am 59yo & have only just embarked on the journey of teaching myself to play piano. I cannot afford a teacher and anyway I suffer from RSI so I have to somehow move forward slightly less often than I move back. Having said that I have been watching many KZbin videos & discovering a real passion for work such as the one you play here so beautifully. I've learned so much from KZbin, specifically about technique & I want to say I've just witnessed rotation in action for the first time by watching how you play. Your technique is just so beautiful to watch, so effortless I can only hope that one day I can play without the exacerbated pain I feel from my practising. I am however an inspired beginner so watch out! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work & I just love Liszt.

[@rocha9234]

Hey, loved to read your words, and I completely agree about this interpretation. I taught myself the piano for 1 year and I started classes last month, and it really helped a lot (not that it matters, but I'm playing this beautiful piece). You probably know this already, you shouldn't feel any pain while playing the piano (not sure with RSI tho), but as my teacher always keeps telling me, you need to play as relaxed as possible, maybe you are playing a little too tense? Many things can happen in 8 months and I hope that you still got your motivation to play the piano, and hopefully you got yourself a good teacher. It's never too late to learn an instrument and I'm really happy that you keep trying even with your handicap. You made my day, keep rocking!

Vos doigts survolent les touches, légers comme un oiseau. J'ai éprouvé une très forte émotion. Je suis passionné de musique (Mozart,Schubert, Brahms, Rachmaninoff) mais je ne connais pas le solfège. J'ai voulu mettre un commentaire sur le prélude de Rachmaninoff, mais ce n'est pas possible. En tout cas je vais visionner vos différents morceaux avec beaucoup d'intéret. Encore Merci !

Dreamy to say the least and with a fine melody. Late in life he also used notes very sparingly, but in a much more sombre mood (i.c.the lugubra gondola). This one is a fine piece for the end of december, when looking back at the years already passed.
