I am always amazed at her style of playing. She makes it look effortless and I know it is not. She is by far one of my favorites.

[@alecmeloling7095]

I have been listening to all of Valentinas performances for over 10 years now. I am a lover of all music. Rap, rock, metal, blues, and all classical. I've always loved classical pianists the most. I've tried to listen to who the critics say are the best, but nobody comes close to touching the soul like Valentina. This woman has no equal. You would have to be insane to criticize her in favor of any other pianist in the world. I've compared her to all. There is no comparison. I will continue to listen to her performances over and over forever. It will continue to get me through the tough times in life.

[@koengreen2540]

She is amazing but there are many great pianists. The great horowitz, barenboim and cziffra are just as good.

[@billmarrufo]

It happens all the time. It´s like sports...once you fall in love with a team it is dificult to change your mind. The same with musicians. But I invite you to listen to Beethoven as well as other composer´s music played by contemporary pianists like Grigory Sokolov, Evgeny Kissin, Daniil Trifonov, Arcadi Volodos, Mikhail Pletnev, Lucas Debarge, Yuja Wang and many more.

There was a video on the internet this morning. A lady had a piano out in the countryside, in I assume Africa.She was playing Movement two of Beethoven's Pathetique for an elephant, who stood there beside her listening and making a musical sound. It made me gloriously happy. Nothing is more beautiful than Movement two of Beethoven's Sonata No. 8.

[@jannisopel]

She plays it so fast yet so effortless. It is truly a special rendition. Thank you.

[@RonRay]

Bravo! As for me, Beethoven's work is absolutely about "time and tempo". IMO, Valentina Lisitsa is the most accomplished pianist of any I've heard (I'm 69 years old and heard many), and whose interpretation is flawless (Beethoven and others)! Her interpretation of Sonata, OP 27, Mov 1, 2 & 3 shows this as much as any other Beethoven's work. Ms. Lisitsa proves her expertise in time and tempo with her rendition of Moonlight Sonata above ALL pianist throughout 'recording' history.

[@AriannaAyers]

Krystian Zimmerman! This is what is said about him: Music for Krystian Zimerman is the art of organizing emotions in time. The Polish pianist's interpretations of everything from Beethoven and Chopin to Schubert and Szymanowski reveal infinite expressive subtleties and the underlying clarity of his story-telling through music. Zimerman's place among today's greatest artists remains not least on the freshness and originality of his performances, always intensely personal and prepared in meticulous detail. He may study a work for decades, exploring every facet and contemplating its meaning before introducing it to his recital repertoire or taking it into the studio. His approach belongs to a dynamic process of creative evolution, one in which self-criticism, deep reflection and intuition play significant parts. “The final thing - that which art is made of - happens in the concert hall,” he notes.

90% of the comments are about the coughing 10% are of the actual playing

[@therealconniefrancis]

The first movement is way too fast. The good thing is she unveils some the piece's hidden melodies

[@Tore_Lund]

@@therealconniefrancis I was going to say this is unusual slower than I expected her to play it. But she picks up tempo later. I think a lot of Beethoven is played too slow in general. Remember his was a student of Mozart, and contemporary composers also wrote fast sonatas. The piece suddenly opens up and you hear some Liszt and Chopin in it! Playing Beethoven slowly bring its own set of problems, the fingering becomes a case of perfect timing and you get some strange Bossa Nova rhythms into it, to get your timing right.

А я считаю её исполнение УЖАСНЫМ!!!. Издевательство над произведением Бетховена... Кто не согласен, послушайте Владимира Ашкенази!..

[@timkucij9632]

Very well played! I love the precision coupled with feeling! One of my favorite pieces and favorite to play!

If this concert would have been during Covid-19, everybody in the hall would be dead by now.

You've moved my emotions which your second movement. You've been a beautiful angel who has taken my ears to Beethoven's heaven. I'm always thankful to you. I listen to your songs all night

I know it’s a technical comment, but I really just want to say it anyway... She goes to the very very last note for all her trills...and even in all the other videos she has...she has the most exquisite trills ever... And then the arpeggios in this piece are sick. I really appreciate your hard work. I’m just blown away how effortless it is. I love also how you made the Sonata breathe at the right places. Bravo bravo

Thank you for posting this!!!---I have loved Beethoven alll my life, ever since I first saw "Immortal Beloved" when I was 16 and started taking piano lessons. Now 37, I have studied alll the classical composers the world history has to offer, but I will always remember my first love, Luigi v. Beethoven. "He's a Republican and a scoundrel. It is even said that he is a follower of Napoleon. He will all have us in the arms of Madame le Guillotine". One of my personal favorite lines. Every time I hear this Op in the movies or if Im in public, I always think of those beautiful lines from the movie.
