- 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

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.
10:45 THE TRANSITION GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS
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.

Who else is still enjoying this masterpiece in 2023 October
I always come back to this video at least a couple times a year. My go-to when I wanna show somebody some cool classical shit
@@alexbeckes3389same!!!
I listen to this particular video at least several times a week and never get tired of it. Along with Toccata and Fugue in D minor Video BWV 565 A one of a kind pipe organ made in Germany assembled in Mormon Tabernacle Church in Utah and not to forget the group SKY in an acoustic version Simply called Toccota complete with drums and 12 string
4EVER

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
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.
Wonder how stoked our boy Ludwig would be knowing thousands of people are still enjoying his piece 222 years later :)
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.
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 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?
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
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?
Thanks to Beethoven .Thanks to Valentina. I will keep Music as a memory of Mankind.
Why a memory,
Music has never been more alive
ridgerunner wapiti you're welcome
Ludwing van Beethoven lol
Are you off to visit other planets or something?
dumb adults
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...
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
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.
Despite all that the internet offers, I continue to return to her again and again. Her performances are empyreal.
Who else is still enjoying this magnificent playing in 2020?

I want to make a comment but there is no words for this ❤️
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
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.
When a child is born of parents who love each, there is nothing but goodness in his heart. Valentina was blessed richly
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.
January 2024, this masterpiece played by her resonates with the loss of my little brother 💔. Thank you ⚘️!
💔
One of my favourite performances of the famous Moonlight Sonata. Bravo!

You are excelent too! Maybe someday very soon....the 3rd ! 😱👋😊💪
3rd is my favorite

Brava*
She’s a female
Second movement is shit
Beethoven would be proud of Valentina. Superb!
I don't think so... He 's deaf
@@user-vv4wc2gq3v and DEAD...
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,
im a composer, and in my humble opinion, this movement, the 3rd one of this Sonata, has got to be the most profound things ever written by Beethoven, musically speaking. Just saying.
I agree, it is absolutely beautiful and not many can match in insane love expression.
I agree
Composer???? Very nice!!! ❤❤❤❤ I wish I can do that but I am just an interpreter, I play the piano 🎹 ❤❤❤ I love this piece!!! Working on it ❤❤❤❤❤❤
i’m curious, what is your opinion and interpretation of the very end of the third movement (the scale down and last two notes)? when i was younger, i always thought it seemed out of place in an otherwise fantastic movement. as i got older, i definitely grew on me, but i’m still not sure i really understand it. i’m curious what your take is.
I’ve always felt the first movement was an acknowledgement to his going deaf but the third movement was a but on my way out. Here’s a big f you and good luck.
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.
Her fingertips feel the emotions of the music ...WOW!
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..!!
Как жаль что после каждого прослушивания этого шедеврального исполнения я не могу ставить миллион лайков!!! Брависсимо!!!
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.
Valentina Lisitsa always chooses best speed. Her soul is balanced.
This is where every musician should come if they want to know how to play music. Absolutely astounding
The pain behind such beauty
Performed exactly as Beethoven had intended ... Absolutely prefect! 👏👏👏
*the best available interpretation of this sonata, thank you Valentina*
I also love Fazil Say's interpretation.
or Arrau interpretation
Yes!! It doesn’t overdo it, it doesn’t get too clever.
It’s what my ear wants to hear
Vril society. Lol.
Best available is Glenn Gould
Oh wow, the third movement made me dizzy, and I mean this in the most appreciative way possible. Outstanding performance.
"Moonlight" in technical terms, is relatively easy; the challenge is in inserting your artistic soul.
She was brilliant.
She is definitely my favorite pianist in the classical genre. I hope I get to see her perform live one day.
Valentina simply is my favorite piano performer. No one else plays this powerful (and fast), while still being precise and moving.
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.
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.
Now I could finally hear what the beethoven spectators really could hear. magnificent. What a gift.
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.
I am a classical guitar players. I have seen this video many many many times. Thanks to Beethoven. Thanks to @ValentinaLisitsaQOR.
The Best Performance
Must return every few months to refresh this vision of Olympus; both Beethoven's and Valentina's. Sublime!
Oh look! It's the lovely Valentina. ❤
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.
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

One of the best pianists in the world, if not the best! Thank you for sharing ❤️

Moonlight Sonata on piano. 14 minutes uncut. Amazing performance, with a tremendous precision on the notes at an extremely high speed. What mastery. It's a difficult level to imagine.
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.
je ne sais plus combien de fois je l'ai écoutée, mais c'est une régal à chaque fois. Great
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!
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!
How could anyone not love this she is the best musician I’ve heard. Would love to see what she could compose.
The finger strength on this woman is impressive
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!
She's making love with her piano. magnificent
"How Many in the World Have Awakened
The setting sun illuminates the evening clouds
The evening light is always tinged with sorrow
Last rays have beauty for only a moment
The darkness seeps through edges of the clouds
The last flash dies of in the Central Plain
How many buildings will remain after the end times
Where will people go
The wise ones will surpass the Kings and Lords

Why Do You Refuse
Before descending to the world, you made a pact with the Creator
When Dafa is spread widely, make sure you are found
I tell you the truth now, why do you refuse it
How many people have their minds filled with the lies of the persecution
Kind people, don’t go along with the propaganda
The path we take is guided by Gods
To save people is my promise to Gods
Before the great disaster comes, we must seize every minute, every second
To save people, I do not fear ridicule
To save people, I do not fear brutality
Only when all beings gain the Fa will my wish be fulfilled
Only when all beings gain salvation will my wish be fulfilled

A Dream From Long Ago
I’ve been searching for that dream from long ago
It was like a fairy tale, yet incomparably sacred
At that time, I signed a contract in heaven
I kept descending, just to fulfill my mission
Reincarnating again and again, lost in the sea of suffering
Finally that distant dream becomes true
The Creator has come to spread Dafa, saving beings to high levels
For this I came down to the world to wait for the Fa
I have fulfilled the contract from a prehistoric time
What is taking place is not a fairy tale
Many people have the same dream as I

I Help You Cleanse Yourself
Dafa disciples have told you the truth behind illusion
Those truly poisoned are the mass of people, including you
Believing the lies, you will disintegrate along with the red demon
Telling the truth to save people-this compassion comes from my heart
Reaping no reward, I often get up early on cold days
Having no time to eat, nor rest in steaming hot weather
To save people, I withstand terror and pressure
Since I promised Gods to wake you up in the time of danger
You came from heaven, and gaining Dafa is your purpose
That will help beings in your paradise escape calamity
This is the reason for your descending to be human
Do not let the red demon brainwash you with Party culture
Beings in your paradise are longing for you

"The Fragrance of Compassion
I stand on the street, my heart sorrowful
The great disaster is looming overhead at the end times
Where are people heading in the hustle and bustle
The life-saving Dafa [Great Law] has opened Heaven’s gate wide
I pass out this flyer of truth
Helping people at the command of the Creator
Most people are Gods incarnate, becoming humans
Doctrines of atheism and evolution are a deluding potion
Modern notions and conduct bring harm to oneself
This truth can save people, keeping them safe and healthy
He is compassion and fragrance emanating amid chaos
September 27, 2020

Fa Is in the Human World
I sing aloud a song to express my heart
Most people come from heavens above
Reincarnating time and again, so many lifetimes
Buried in the dust so as to obtain the Fa
The Holy Creator has entered the world of dust
Quietly observing all kinds in the chaotic world
Atheism and evolution are evil doctrines
The red demon ruins the world viciously like a cancer
Modern notions are a form of corruption
He holds back the violent wave, eliminating the fog of evil
Rectifying the human world with grand compassion and grace
Heaven and Earth regain brilliance like the fabled Isle of Penglai
November 8, 2020

Compassion Once Again
Surviving the catastrophe, the mind not yet calmed down
All the fights and disputes suddenly come to a stop
Having spoken the truth tirelessly with kind words
How many have changed their minds and embraced kindness
Spring returns to the land, Heaven and Earth turn bright
Kings shall return, to be greeted by all beings
The Fa rectifies the human world, showing compassion once again
Then we’ll see if good and evil are clear or not

Standing ovation, your 3rd movement is just outstanding
Yea I agree, she uses every technique right down to sliding the keys for that perfectly smooth transition between notes.... amazing!
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.
I actually almost cried during the 3rd movement. Wonderful. Thank you so much.
Валичка просто Умничка , Красавица и Лапочка ! С замиранием сердца смотришь . как мягко , плавно и грациозно она скользит пальцами по клавишам .
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.
I never get tired of this beautiful piece of music ❤️
One of the best versions I ever heard, bravo Valentina
Stunning playing and the interpretation is spot on. Beethoven would have been smiling had he heard this.
2023, this doesn't ever get old. 🎧👍

Valentina, we met back at UNC Chapel Hill. Your Beethoven Sonata #14 has long since been the gold standard. Superb!
Her pace and the way she strokes those keys is amazing. Never gets old.
Played with elegance and emotion 👏👏👏👏
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.
Look at her, lovingly caressing the notes to life! Simply magnificent～
Exactly
Dearest Valentina, I hope you are well and that you get this message. I saw you play live today in Brussels at Flagey for the Piano Days. It was incredible. You truly mastered Beethoven. You played for 1 hour and half. You ended with the complete moonlight sonata and an extra piece of Chopin(nocturne in c sharp minor). Both of those pieces are extremely special to me. We spoke briefly after your concert and I told you how amazing it was. You were very kind and gracious. I just want to say your interpretations are amazing. After the concert I stayed a while to enjoy the piano bar with a Jazz musician. I went outside and saw a beautiful church. Maybe this seems like a cliché but thanks to you I was able to enter and was able to confess to God and to the priest. I haven't done this since I was 12 years old. So my last confession was 22 years ago. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! Sincerely yours, Johan
Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.
Johan: God blesses us in many different ways. The fact you got closer to Him is one, and Valentina and her performances demonstrate His divinity. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story, and may God bless Valentina’s hands.
It seems you have read my message ☺️
Wow!! ♥♥♥♥...
Music can truly be a spiritual experience. Thanks for sharing your beautiful story
This is the best recording of the 3rd movement that I've heard in over 20 years.
Iam 82,,& I love it,,,,,,,from arizona 2023,,,
Эту музыку можно слушать бесконечно, как и бесконечно восхищаться гениальностью Бетховена. 💐
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.
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.
I have NEVER experienced such a perfectly played 3rd mvmt. of the piece.
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 😍😍😍
Pure music, much love from Italy. Grazie Valentina💖
I love her fingers work. Simply magnific. Like Mustaine plays guitar.
Finally a pianist that let her hands talking and not her legs or her breast
Congrats from my little great performance
Exquisitely played. A pleasure to hear this!
It's so incredibly kind and generous of you to share your deep talents with us online. So moving. And deeply appreciated.
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.
Valentina, thank you for the music (and beethoven) I've listened to you several times and still am on the edge of my chair every time. you are the best.
Thank you for reuploading this masterpiece in a complete session!
ВАЛЕНТИНА спасибо за то что вы есть 😍
It's a pure pleasure to watch and listen your performance...Thank you very much!
Thank you so much Valentina for this poignant and touching performance! The moonlight sonata is one of my favourite pieces of ever.
Everything is just so beautiful. Thank you Miss Valentina.
The 3rd movement was the first video I watched and it was just last year. Since then, I can't stop watching your videos and I started studyng piano
Finally, uploaded by the original performer of the video !!! ♥ you Valentina
I could listen to this forever, just beautiful
