- Hello all. This is the original complete recording of the Sonata the way it was meant to be. Back in those days there was a 10 minutes file limit and therefore I had to split performance in 2 parts. The 3rd movement went viral while the first file did not. Playlist does not work in the opposite way and there are hundreds of channels that stole my recording and rebroadcast it in full. So I should have it published as it was played. Enjoy! I think when performed complete the concept of the performance is different.
00:01 I. Adagio sostenuto
05:17 II. Allegretto
07:35 III. Presto agitato

Wonder how stoked our boy Ludwig would be knowing thousands of people are still enjoying his piece 222 years later :)
sometimes i wish we could have a way to tell composers how much their music means to random people living centuries after, from places they've probably never even heard of
The same with all great art. Especially the artists who struggled, physically, emotionally, and mentally. They gave us so much, enriching our lives. @catherinejanet5806
tens of millions on the internet, more as a whole
@@catherinejanet5806 They know, they watch us from above ❤
@@catherinejanet5806Wow I love this, never occurred to me ❤
This is where every musician should come if they want to know how to play music. Absolutely astounding
For over 20 years, I have listened to this piece almost compulsively, and I have never found anyone who compares to the Ukrainian Valentina Lisitsa in the way she conveys its emotional nuances with such expressiveness. Greetings from Brazil!
👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️🙌🙌🙌🙌
I know this piece as well. She plays with grace and tenderly. Beethoven would be pleased.
In Canada we LOVE Valentina Lisitsa's brilliant, sublime playing... another breathtakingly beautiful artist that won't be silenced or ignored by us, your faithful fans!!!! Kisses to you.
I encountered a gas explosion a few years ago.
The days of hospitalization and treatment were lonely and painful.
I don't know how many years have passed since then.
This music is my healing. Thanks.
Hi～！ Valentina💖 Thanks .
Now I'm sick and resting. I need some relaxation time. I will stop commenting until I feel better.
I'm not in the right frame of mind to handle this. Thank you so much for the wonderful time, I had such a good time.
@@flowerdiary9689 how have you been doing?
14 minutes of the most splendid piece of music ever written? Sign me up! This, especially the third movement, is just stunning. I am in awe of this skill.
I even watched the ads, just to make sure she gets paid a little bit.

When a child is born of parents who love each, there is nothing but goodness in his heart. Valentina was blessed richly
My god, her 3rd movement gives me chills. Such pace and clarity. Just unreal, her technique is magical.
You are right ❤️🔥
I am at 3:55 am.. sleepless night can be beautiful
Almost 20 years and I keep coming back to her version. Classical music is so unique bc each player can make it sound so unique- yet a listener has a preference
agree, and i've watched many different versions - hers doesn't even seem too fast although she plays her version very fast
Yes but you have to listen to the first two movements for the third movement to have a context. Many people jump straight to the third movement. That's a mistake. Don't do that.
Who in their life born recently can play Beethoven like this. Classic example of time travel and understanding of the music
You can't play it too fast. You can't play it too slow. And you can't play it like a computer.
@@BrianDennington Yeah, one famous channel here on YT, Rousseau has a terrible interpretation of this. He plays like a robot.
My 13 year old son can play the first part of it, and is now working on learning the 3rd (fast part). He is an amazing gifted musician, as is my 14 year old daughter.
classic example of sounding like an utter boomer lol, who hasn't heard of prodigies knocking it out of the park in classical music
You wonder if even Beethoven himself would have realised that his works could be played with this delicacy, depth and intensity. What an enjoyable performance. Having a wonderful evening listening to music on youtube and this caps it.
Top Tip for everyone.... listen to this ... and then click the start and listen to it again.... as its as perfect as it can be... and just how the great man wanted it to sound... prefection... love love love it.... wonderful Valentina...thank you... Yoki..
Questo è l'esempio dell'arte musicale straordinaria, per tutto il mondo,,!! Come si può privare la gente, ad ascoltare la sua bravura, che meraviglia..!!
the beautiful sensitivity of touch that Valentina has in this performance makes the opening movement seem to float so gracefully along, dreamily. Then, the 2nds movement so cheerfully wakes you back up, and says get ready for a quick (but adventurous) trip back home, and Valentina then pounces into that great, rush-home, final movement. I've never hear another pianist do *quite* the dramatic performance of this one. There are more than a few really great pianists out there, but for this particular piece, Lisitsa's performance is the most dramatic.
Here and now, after 11 years knowing You, I want to say again that I never have been amazed for no one but You. You're the Greatest of all times, man or woman, maybe your gift show us that You are an Angel!!! Thanks Valentina for share your gorgeous Talent with us the simple mortals! LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!
Best performance I've ever heard!
Bravo!
Слушал уже раз двадцать и не перестаю наслаждатся мастерством исполнения моей любимой сонаты.
Валентина... Ваши пальцы прикованы к сердцу, а Бетховен живет в душе.
Высший класс!
Лучшее в мире исполнение Лунной сонаты. Пишу на коленях. В луже слез. СПАСИБО.
Обожаю просто ее слушать и смотреть как она исполняет, просто великолепно, многих прослушала, но она просто супер, лучшая👍
Я только первую часть играю и то там наворотов сколько, во второй тональность сложная ре бемоль мажор, а про третью....это высший пилотаж просто, Бетховен конечно гениален и сложен в плане техники, но прекрасен, мой один из любимых композиторов, мой кумир
Despite all that the internet offers, I continue to return to her again and again. Her performances are empyreal.
Her pace and the way she strokes those keys is amazing. Never gets old.
I have watched and listened to this performance for 3 years. and I'm still left in awe at the beauty at Beethoven's composition and your accuracy. You are truly inspiring
Empress of the Universe 🌞🌃🌹
I've heard a number of pianists perform Sonata #14 and to me, this is the definitive performance.
really? Its a little rushed in my opinion.. Grand. If it make you happy then its great. I just don't hear it. Its funny how we hear things differently. Its honestly a really bad version to me.
I hate saying that but yeah. Bad.
I. might be a bit spoiled.
yeah the whole thing is rushed to me.
love the playing but it is rushed.
Sorry
Hello Valentina,
Yes, I remember. This 1st part made me want to learn piano at 57 years of age, now 6 years ago, It took me a year to nearly complete this 1st part up to halfway the last page, trying to copy you as good as possible. At the end I even could play it with my eyes closed. Need to take it up again and finish that last page.
Thank you so much.. I would be lost without music.
Congratulations on learning a new skill at that age. Hope I'll still be able to when at that age. xx
♥♥♥♥♥
You DID "take it up again"...didn't you?
~ Patiently awaiting the upload. ;)
That's a beautiful story. I'm beginning at 37. She's a huge inspiration.
@@2pi628 yes, again grom the first page and a lot is still in my fingers. Now I read the music but still with difficulty. Left hand part is easy.
Her hands seem to move at lightning speed at the last movement!! The amount of pure skill expressed by her playing gives me chills!! I really hope to see her perform live some day!
With all due respect to her incredible talent to present us what has been created by an absolute musical genius - centuries ago - Ludwig Beethoven,
All from memory. That’s the most amazing part of the entire beautiful performance
That's the easy part after you've practiced it 1000 times
@@ryana7313 For real. Its borderline disrespectful to the skill on display here. Any damn fool can memorize something and forget it right after.
it's really not hard to memorize a piece. I could memorize this in two weeks of practice (or the cello equivalent cause im a cellist) but I could never actually perform well, anything near this level in a thousand years
That is amazing. Very hard - BUT that's the easy thing here - years of practice and talent and pure skill is what's truly AMAZING here.
Holy smoke! Right from Beethoven's eternal soul, through you, and out your fingertips! Transportive and deeply spiritual. Unearthly beauty in every note. Brava!
Now I could finally hear what the beethoven spectators really could hear. magnificent. What a gift.
Oh wow, the third movement made me dizzy, and I mean this in the most appreciative way possible. Outstanding performance.
Руки, как будто просто лежат на клавишах, а музыка исходит откуда-то из вне... Лучшее исполнение за все годы,что я слушаю любимую Сонату Бетховена! Благодарю гениальную Пианистку за это наслаждение! 😅❤
Stunning playing and the interpretation is spot on. Beethoven would have been smiling had he heard this.
Hello Valentina.
I stumbled on this by accident after watching a young girl play #3 on guitar. I'm so glad I found your performance. Your skill, interpretation and grace is simply amazing. Absolutely captivating and wonderful to watch. My mother played all 3 movements for her major from Marywood back in 1957. Still by far my favorite from Ludwig.....never gets old! Thank you for sharing this with the world!
One of my favourite performances of the famous Moonlight Sonata. Bravo!
1st: 0:00
2nd: 5:18
3rd: 7:36
You are excelent too! Maybe someday very soon....the 3rd ! 😱👋😊💪
3rd is my favorite
@@hwiatslgeord2887 Me too
Brava*
She’s a female
Second movement is shit
El primer movimiento de la Sonata Claro de Luna es la pieza más bella y maravillosa de Beethoven. Sublime e infinita, y, a la vez nostálgica y desoladora. El segundo movimiento, sencillo y complementario. El tercero, es todo fuerza y emociones desbordantes. Esta obra, interpretada por Valentina, es portentosa y refleja en su totalidad lo que debió sentir y vivir el mismo compositor al crearla. Gracias por este regalo.
Валичка просто Умничка , Красавица и Лапочка ! С замиранием сердца смотришь . как мягко , плавно и грациозно она скользит пальцами по клавишам .
That is the best performance I‘ve ever heard about this masterpiece!
From goosebumps to tears, everything is included.
And don't forget to thank the creator of this masterpiece. Ludwig van Beethoven.
Simply amazing. I often heard Beethoven purposely wrote his works difficult to play and few musicians wanted to work with him due to their challenging nature. I think you would have amazed him. Thank you Valentina. Bravissima!!
This is amazing! I've heard so many renditions of Moonlight Sonata that are emotionless and sound like people have metronome in their ear while they're playing (some of which have thousands of likes on here), and this is just the exact opposite. Perfect variations in tempo and velocity that make me feel something! Amazing!
her third movement cannot be eclipsed for the following hundred years. it is as perfect as it can possibly get
oh, she can improve herself and defeat the old ones tho lol
We just have to check it out in a hundred years
@@Greycat590 I'll still be around just to make sure😀😉
I can get close to her speed on the third movement, but she makes not nearly as many mistakes as I when I play it. She has executed the entire song as a master.
The only one that compares in my opinion is Glenn Gould, although his interpretation is wildly different.
This is without a doubt the best performance of this piece I've ever heard and I come back to listen again many times.
She is magnificent!
As do I good sir. I rewatch this frequently.
I agree. This song gives me the chills when she plays ❤
This is the best performance I have ever heard. Just unbelievable! I listen to it many times and again and again ... just an unearthly performance. Bravo!
Tiffany Poon was soo good in Part 1. But she definitely failed Lisitsa in Parts 2 and 3
I got obsessed with this piece a few years ago and someone recommended me to listen to Lisitsa's performance. I don't think I have ever being so grateful to someone. After so long I still love this performance more than anything, more than anything, exept her graceful way to play.
I watch this over and over at different times. I have no words to describe this performance.
🈶
Восторг и трепет от вашего исполнения, дорогая Валентина! Каждый раз слезы восхищения! Храни вас Господь!
When you listen, you feel every single tone she plays. When you watch her fingers go gentle on the keys you feel their thrill, and when she smashes them it feels that they were brought to life. By time, when you listen to it over and over, you understand that this piece was Beethoven's secret message to Valentina.
Just be quiet man. No need to be so dramatic
yeah I think everyone is being way too stuffy with it. She played it probably the best I've ever seen and the sonata is amazing (apart from 2nd lol) but just chill on the stories and shiz.
One of the best pianists in the world, if not the best! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Valentina simply is my favorite piano performer. No one else plays this powerful (and fast), while still being precise and moving.
Valentina est la meilleure pianiste du monde !
Elle est une icône vivante du piano !
Elle est la virtuose absolue !
La déesse du piano venue sur Terre !
How could anyone not love this she is the best musician I’ve heard. Would love to see what she could compose.
I can't believe i only discovered you today.
THANK you for the years and years of commitment, and focus, to make THIS happen.
Blessed Be.
Such precise yet seamless hand movements. Almost feels like her hands have consciousness of their own and she's just enjoying the show
I agree. It's like, "What is this? What is that? Pretty cool."
There is a mysterious spiritual force here...
Well said 5777
Today is the perfect day to listen this Sonata. Happy Birthday Beethoven and thanks Valentina!
My goodness.....phew!...what a marvellous masterpiece but also the incredible skill of Valentina Lisitsa to play it. Bravo!
이제껏 들은 '월광곡' 피아노 연주에서 당연 최고인 것 같습니다!
감사합니다.
I actually almost cried during the 3rd movement. Wonderful. Thank you so much.
What a humanly emotional version of this.
Imagine being able to perform this piece.
A burden, yet a blessing.
je ne sais plus combien de fois je l'ai écoutée, mais c'est une régal à chaque fois. Great
Un'artista incantevole e melodica, eccezionale con il tocco lieve e gentile mi lascia senza parole. Grande, grande!!!!!!!!
Valentina is one of a kind pianist in our generation.I liked her style in playing piano.Awesome,bravo!
I don't think Beethoven would have played it the exact way you did. You brought a lot of romanticism to that masterpiece and made it yours. Thank you for sharing this
This is one of the best performance of this melody that I have heard in my entire life.
Astounded. Ms. Lisitska's lengthy and skilled performance is artistry at it's best-and this was my first time truly hearing the Third movement. Brava!
I always want to cry when I listen to your rendition of the 3rd movement, it is so great there are no words to describe it.
Must return every few months to refresh this vision of Olympus; both Beethoven's and Valentina's. Sublime!
Yea I agree, she uses every technique right down to sliding the keys for that perfectly smooth transition between notes.... amazing!
Her fingertips feel the emotions of the music ...WOW!
This is the best recording of the 3rd movement that I've heard in over 20 years.
Marvelous Valentina! Bravo! Such talent and beauty. My favorite composer... Beethoven stands alone among all the greats. "Like he had a direct phone line to the heavens and God directed him which next note to write" (Leonard Bernstein)
January 2024, this masterpiece played by her resonates with the loss of my little brother 💔. Thank you ⚘️!
💔
@@ValentinaLisitsaQOR 😓
I've heard this wonderful music live & on record 1000 times, but always come back here.
Thank you 😘
You can hear it even if you turn off the sound.
That's the beauty of her and the images.
Moon I here from Japan.
Beethoven would TOTALLY love and approve this performance!
Valentina Lisista is the only one who understands Beethoven and performs his music with 100% accuracy!
can you mention at least 3 other pianists who, in your opinion, come close?
Too bad he was deaf
@@capitanaless1o493 in my opinion... his deafness was a blessing....Ultimately... it doesn't matter if he could physically hear... Beethoven was a RARE prodigy.... a very rare true talent.... like Mozart..... it's so sad we don't have God Given talent like these men anymore..... Beethoven and his predecessors ( Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, etc., ) all are true LEGENDS....
WE SERIOUSLY WOULD NOT have our current music if it were not for these individuals!! Especially in the metal gentre, I might add!! :)
Claudio Arrau, Daniel Barenboim, Emil Gilels@@webgpu
@DanielMartinez-nw1pn you're right, I'm good too, but could've listed just 3 pianists ( 🙂) jokes aside, thanks for the list. I will check Gilels out 👍
I asked him about other pianists because I sensed he was just commenting that she was 'the only one who understands Beethoven, but he doesn't know any other.
This is the best performance of this piece I have ever heard. The touch is amazing.
I love her fingers work. Simply magnific. Like Mustaine plays guitar.
It's so incredibly kind and generous of you to share your deep talents with us online. So moving. And deeply appreciated.
*Valentina, I just wanna express how much I appreciate your music. I've formed a habit of listening to your performance of Beethoven "Moonlight" Sonata 3rd movement before studying, or doing any tasks that require mental focus. I even bookmark it in my browser. No matter how many times I've listened to it, I always can't help but exclaim "How could she do it?". You've inspired me to enjoy classical music so much.*
Standing ovation, your 3rd movement is just outstanding
The best piece of piano in history to me. This moves me spiritually and emotionally. She performed it flawlessly.
Gosh, what an awesome performance 😍😍I was hypnotized by her hands. It's my most favorite piece of music for piano and I already heard it soooo many times and watched sooo many different performances of it but I never saw this kind of fingerwork . It looks like she's making love with the piano. Absolutely incredible and totally awesome 😍😍😍
楽曲の前半部分のピアニシモ部分は、とてもデリケートで精いっぱいの優しい指のタッチでリスナーを釘付けにし、中盤から劇的に変わる楽曲の展開に素晴らしい効果を与えています。このピアニストは永遠に語り継がれる一流の名をほしいままにすることでしょう。素晴らしいプレイをありがとうと言いたいです。ユーチューブさんにも感謝でいっぱいです。ありがとう。
Valentina, we met back at UNC Chapel Hill. Your Beethoven Sonata #14 has long since been the gold standard. Superb!
One of the best versions I ever heard, bravo Valentina
Thank you so much Valentina for this poignant and touching performance! The moonlight sonata is one of my favourite pieces of ever.
This is by far the best recording of the third movement I have ever heard. So fast and yet so clear! Bravo Valentina, you are at the top of your art!
I couldn't agree more!
So you must have heard just a few of them ... Not the best, far from it.
@@JulienC-re5jvwhat’s the best then?
She literally makes the piano sing.
My favorite Beethoven piano sonata, performed by my favorite classical pianist! Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Only if one day I could be like her!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 I love her playing ❤️
Throwback, one of the video that bought Valentina to her success.
tailspao Su she didn’t get success from Utube she got it from practice and dedication
It was actually her rachmaninoff etude
@@PXNDXPIPE yep been watyching her over a decade now damn
I’m not much of a classical music aficionado but Beethoven made this piece flow so well. It is like a well written story told on a piano.
Nov '23. I watch this video often just to watch her fingers riverdance up and down the keys and to hear the unusual way Beethoven composed the notes. A wonderful piece, played by a wonderful pianist!
This is almost a mediumistic approach. Really truly high-leveled good stuff! The notes practically play themselves. Adagio Sostenuto's second period of bar 39, in its relentless gloom is the point I always struggle to survive. This whole performance, together with those by Baremboim and Horowitz, is something all music lovers need to hear!
Lorsque je vous ai découverte il y a dix ans, c'était en 2009 je crois, peut-être avant, peu importe, votre jeu au piano a enflammé mon cœur et d'autant plus que la sonate n°14 au Clair de Lune de Beethoven est ma préférée de tout son répertoire. Vous êtes exceptionnelle : Vous n'interpretez pas l'œuvre, non, vous la vivez ! Merci de la faire perdurer de la sorte ❤😇
Muitas vezes os músicos tocam o 1º e o 2º movimento muito rápido, o que faz perder bastante a graça da música, mas Valentina sente a essência, a profundidade da obra e consegue passar isso muito bem. Não canso de ouvir. Parabéns. 😍
As a disney child, who's now an adult facing hardships, I truly appreciate this ❤ it keeps the child in me warm and happy. Have a good night's sleep everyone.
Superb. I love the interpretations by Lisitsa.
I am a classical guitar players. I have seen this video many many many times. Thanks to Beethoven. Thanks to @ValentinaLisitsaQOR.
The Best Performance
Wow! To anyone who thinks that first movement is easy, I challenge you to get the legato Valentina gets throughout. Not easy at all. And thanks for making that second movement completely coherent and so easily understood. The third is of course monstrous in your hands. It all builds so splendidly. Bravo!
Eric Austin ye,even tho the third movement is the most challenging(from a technical point of view) the first movement has a lot emotion making it the hardest by far.Tbh lisitsas first movement isnt the best interpretation I have heard however the third movement is my favorite.
Yes, absolutely agree with you. Technically is not that demanding the first movement but all the nuances on each of its notes and the legato and emotion are supposed to transmit is definitely challenging,
The first movement is indeed not easy. You can check official grade for it on the net. It’s also a bit long. Everyone is just full of themself. I can barely play it correctly. I guess after 10 years of piano it will be easy. Also some have immense talent and tend to forget it...
You have to FEEL the first movement to play it as it was intended by Beethoven.
@@JohansPiano Remember, for every count that talent has, effort counts *twice* as much.
V. Lisitsa presents a captivating performance. She exerts the power of dynamism, executes the essence of Sonata #14 with superb dexterity. An enjoyable rendition!
C'est toujours un régal de la voir jouer et de l'écouter. Merci
🖤 Just crying… thank you so much, Valentina 🖤
I was crying nearly the whole time. This is so beautiful.
These songs make me bring back memories of child time. Thank you Valentina Lisitsa
Performed exactly as Beethoven had intended ... Absolutely prefect! 👏👏👏
Валентина, не перестаю восхищаться мастерством вашего исполнения! Оно завораживает!
Why does she look so much like beethoven himself sitting at the piano? Her fingers don't even seem to move...they just float and that magnificent sound emerges out of nowhere as if. Magical.
Bent over the keys as such, i thought the very same! Dynamic!!
They just glide
I'm always awestruck by her - love this music
Is it a transgender and a man pls?Thanks
@@sarahisaiah1 no. Definitely not.
Valentina, sólo tu llegas al alma tan profunda y conmovedoramente con esta música que es para siempre, como tu y su genial compositor!
Te afmiro por tu correcta postura en el plano del conflicto que destroza y divide a Eurasia y Europa y te digo desde el fondo del corazón que te admira con amor: ánimo, estás del lado correcto de la historia humana; ya tendrás tu rica recompensa. 🎉❤🎉☕☕
