I love this recording as well. However, if you pay close attention you will notice that she differs from Liszt's solo version in a number of places - Liszt's solo version cuts a small amount of music from the piano-orchestra original. Lisitsa restores those short sections eg. from 14:01 - she also adds octaves at certain place. This doesn't take anything away from her playing - it actually might add an extra layer of awesomeness. :) For Liszt's solo version if you have an affinity for clarity I would recommend Arnaldo Cohen's recording on Naxos. It is on youtube, as well as Spotify.

Seon-Yong Hwang wasn't the first to do many of the things people think he was, just a lot of the really good guys from 5-12 years ago have disappeared to the bottom of the internet.

Just repeated notes. You have to use staccato on same note but change fingers. It works on grands but not so much on uprights as repetition notes are to do with gravity of the actions and the hammer can be struck quicker due to depressing the key only halfway down before it can play the note again whereas uprights need the hammer jack to return

Listening to this again 10 years later I noticed that this is actually pretty much Lisitsa's own transcription! :) She should give herself credit in the video description! This is markedly different in many places to Liszt's own piano solo version! Funnily enough Lisitsa here is actually more faithful to Liszt's piano-orchestra version than Liszt is in his piano solo version. Liszt omitted the fantastic section from 14:01 to 14:13 in his solo version. She also adds a couple octaves here and there, and the final right hand figuration from 14:13 is entirely her own - as far as I can tell. An incredible effort on Lisitsa's part - great ideas, wonderfully executed.

There are a few pieces that need no orchestration accompaniment and Miss Lisitsa has proven this. At 10:56 she turns the keys into horns...this is why Miss Lisitsa is not going anywhere soon; she is one of the elite that play with ten fingers...not two hands. Thank you, and may your relationship with Franz continue to grow. Cheers!

Ich sitze hier zucke ständig auf. Ein Action Film zu sehen ist nichts dagegen. Als ich bei Lisitsa bei einem Solo Konzert direkt vor dem Flügel in drei Meter abstand vor ihr saß, hat es mich Buchstäblich auseinandergerissen. Absolut nicht! vergleichbar mit dem bisschen, was hier bei der Tonspur rüber kommt, selbst mit einem Soundsystem von sonst was. Live sehen, unbedingt! Ganz vorne am besten!

This is something that I use to suffer also with opera.

Usually i do not like to see facial expressions of the pianist. Too often they seem to either be in pain or the theatrics of ecstasy are annoying, to say the least. But the expression of relaxed, quiet joy on Valentina is beautiful. One can see she is singing the piece in her head. When she is hitting all those big octave jumps around 10:00, you can see her mouthing Pa, Pa, Pa. When she goes through certain sections, there is a little smile. She is enjoying herself immensely, and it adds to my enjoyment.

This is a remarkable performance. Liszt, of course, has penned variations on a theme based upon an old and ancient chant - Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) - interpreting the positive and negative judgements of the Lord based on His book. Ms. Lisitsa, through her remarkable pianistic skills, and remarkable interpretation of the music of the composer, has brought forth the positive judgements (with great feeling and understanding) as well as the wrathful judgements, also with great feeling, and with significant power as well. Her body language and facial expression throughout the performance reflects the emotion of the work as it progresses. Never have seen such a sensitive and well-understood performance. Kudos to Ms. Lisitsa, whose skills and sensitivities were up to the task of Totentanz..

Please Valentina, never remove this video from your youtube channel... In fact, do not remove any of your videos. It's a dream to listen to you and watch you play over and over again.
