Everyone is talking about how fast she plays.... how about how clear every note is???? You can hear every key strike crisp and clear. That's what makes it so beautiful!! This is how Liszt intended it to be played.
me: no seriously I really want to learn this my fingers: I said no Me: I don't care I am going to learn this so suck it up... my fingers (after 6 months): do you still want to learn it... Me: leave me alone my fingers: hey, I tried to warn you, even had to give you carpal tunnel to prove my point.. me: i hate you my fingers: yep, but i got my way.
there is one thing that i always wanted to say; people criticized her for playing too fast and soulless. i totally disagree with this opinion. i watched and listened at least 20 other "La Campanella" performance for maybe 10 years. and i never seen someone can even reach her point about feelings. how someone can miss that? her touches are like came from heaven and makes you feel cry. you can feel a soul, a miracle inside every of her touches. thank you for made me listen this and live this experience.
People usually complain about speed and say "soulless right after" but I'm pretty sure that's just because the two words are usually associated, because the mediocre musician has to sacrifice feeling and sensitivity to play fast, but dude, where the hell is it written in the bible that speed undeniably eliminates soul? That's just not true She plays with more dynamic than most musicians on youtube, no one can say otherwise cause that would simply be an objective lie You might not like it more sped up, it's okay, might even be you're right, but speed is not mutually exclusive to feeling and this is the perfect demonstration for that
I sometimes have a hard time reading the comments on such performances ( and maybe I should not). In my long live as a professional musician I have not come across many individuals who are able to do what Valentina is doing . She is full of passion, love and power. She displays honorable discipline and devotion. I would really like to see more respect and thankfulness towards people like here in this world instead of shameful and obvious jealousy. All I say is bravo Valentina...and thank you for bringing Liszt alive to new generations in our time.
lance They are closely related words but jealousy is more hate and thinking "If I can't do that, they shouldn't either! Screw them!" While envy is more like "I love this person's ability I wish I could do that. They're amazing!"
why is it impossible? the person in the video at one point in their life had the same level of skill as you. i'mworking hard on trying to learn this piece. a little bit everyday.
@@frankhamburger2075 if it actually hurts then something is wrong. Make sure your technique is okay because otherwise you could seriously damage your finers
Haha, I dont think one can watch this while doing something else...I always get fixated when I hear her music...looking at her movements as well as her enjoyment of the music as she bounces (seemingly effortless) all over the piano keys...sheer entertainment.
1:28 those incredible "butterfly fingers"... every single note shines like pearls in a collier and all with a sense of lightness defying gravity and weight.
Yes, she made mistakes but to the people that complain.. Have you guys even seen the sheet of this? It's basically just notes flying around all across the paper. Plus, this is already hard even for a master pianist, the hand technique, tempo, nuances.. In my opinion she did a wonderful job!
Super impressed by her interpretation. Even if there were a few mistakes, it almost adds it in a weird sort of way. Makes it sound more human and more impressive some how. Her voicings on this song bring out different parts than some of the other pianists who play this and it makes it sound very unique and personalized.
what in the. I'm honestly scared how she is human. I'm getting goosebumps all over, that is the most incredible performance ever. Every note is so clear yet she plays it with the intensity and speed that I've always wanted to hear this piece be played at. Phenomenal!!
I don't understand why people keep saying that she plays it like a machine and Lang Lang plays it with emotion, I can see A LOT of emotion when she plays it! I mean...It must have been hard to learn this piece, It took awhile but she accomplished her goal! Now let's not focus on that, Lets focus on how much emotion she has put into learning that peice.

@@lalka2336 You might be misunderstanding what 19th century means. We currently live in the 21st century, 1901 to 2001 was the 20th century and 1701 to 1801 was the 18th century. Frans Liszt was born 1811 and died 1886, thus he lived in the 19th century. Think of it like this; if you lived in the first century that'd mean you lived during the first 100 years, aka between year 1 and year 101. Year 101 to 201 would be the second century and so on. It might be a bit confusing but I'm sure you'll get it.
Look, I wish to comment on Valentina Lisista's performance of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," since comments have been forbidden there. Valentina has been criticized for "playing too fast." I strongly disagree with this regarding this piece and others. We are looking at the finest technician of our age. There is no room for criticism. Her interpretations in all movements are lovely in every way. Movements one and two are executed with perfect precision. Movement three is beyond belief! Somebody stop her that other pianists may attempt to equal such a magnificent performance! This piece is MORE than perfect in every way! God bless you, Valentina, and thank you for your contributions to our world!!
Clamchucker I do think she plays too fast. This is not because I think she’s showing off or anything, just that it is evident to me there have occurred a few mistakes that I believe could have otherwise been avoided had she not played it at such a speed. The speed at which Li plays it, for instance, is in my opinion the perfect speed. There is no need to go faster, and it only increases the likelihood of making an error, which, even great pianists like herself can succumb to occasionally. I think there is a limit to how fast a piece of music can go before it ceases to sound better. Valentina approaches that limit.
Could you imagine Liszt himself playing this in a concert atmosphere🖤😯😮?!?!! With all his showmanship and flare and this very fast, intense piece!!?!!! Loooove it!!!!
The confidence in her and the way she owned every note she played, almost made me believe that she wrote the piece herself. Oh. My. God. You are amazing.
Anyone who says Valentina is a robot who plays without feeling is just mad because she is a goddess on the piano. Her solo Rach at abbey road is some of my all time favorite music ever.
La Campanella is a famous classical music in Japan. Your performance of playing piano is excellent and the sound affects our hearts, moreover vibrates our souls❗️
I am a pianist. At first, I didn't like Valentina. I realized that I was just jealous of how amazing she is. She is boss level pianist yall. Now, I look up to her. I hope to at least play the first 10 seconds of the song as well as she did....(that may even be pushing it. I say the first note)
@Fleks *_* on Wikipedia, a seizure is described as “a sudden attack of illness, especially a stroke or an epileptic fit.” Basically, it’s where you suddenly cease and start shaking very violently.
For all those complaining about "mistakes", it is called interpretation, as in passion, as in creativity, as in the very mindset that allows for these masterpieces to be crafted in the first place. Musical genius is not parroting back the exact performance robotically time and time again. Believe it or not we already have machines that can do that far better than any human which can play pieces exactly every time. These are called recordings. Guaranteed anyone who views variety and interpretation as some sort of sin lacks the creative ability to compose anything for themselves. Again if you want perfect repetition listen to a machine.
+Jerad Clark Mistakes is not called "... interpretation, as in passion, as in creativity". Don't try to bullshit anyone; Yes, it is a great performance, yes, Lisitsa is one of the greater pianist as of now, but there are a lot of mistakes (due to the tempo). You could play passionately, AND play correctly as well. Does it matter? Perhaps not, but it is not passionate/creative/interpretive to make mistakes.
It's mesmerising to watch someone so perfectly mastering their "work". I have goosebumps across my whole body, hair and teeth included. Absolutely wonderful art. Of both Liszt and Lisitsa rising to heaven in levels of synergy never thought possible.
Yup, that's exactly how i got here too. Not that I need to WAIT 50 years, but it would TAKE years of learning/practice - just this song, say 2 hours a day, would probably take a year. Then I'd need to start practicing playing it faster.
Imagine how long she must have practiced in order to make it look this easy. How much better can she really play this? Was this really her best run through? Imagine she walks off stage and she thinks to herself, Dang I played better than that yesterday. As if we could fathom it being better than it already is
Perusing over some of these extensive negatives comments it is evident that the world is rife with unskilled arm chair critics. It's truly disheartening. Stay positive and employ gratitude for this woman's ability to deliver sensational music. Bravo and encore.
Me too when I started piano in self-taught, I think it's one of the only pianist who is not arrogant and who sees the piano as a real passion and not only for the money
-First the speed of a plane -Then comes the speed of sound -Then the speed of sound passing through diamonds -then the speed of light -and finally the speed of Valentina Lisitsa’s fingers
2:32 = Right hand : "Leave me alone" Left hand : "Umm... Okay" 2:35 = Left hand : "Hi" 2:39 = Left hand : "You still there?" 2:41 = Right hand : "Don't leave me alone :' "
Dont worry this is the paganini version, which is like 4 times as hard as liszt's (did I spell that right?) version. There is an easy version of the original version that isnt too hard and even I can play it.
Вы счастливый человек....бог ,природа и ваши корни дали вам задаток ,который неимоверным трудом...и любовью к своему делу...Вы вложили в рамки своего ремесла ,раздвинув рамки и подарив просто музыку....спасибо
This is by far the best interpretation on this piece I've ever heard. 👏👏👏 Every other interpretation I found on TH-cam by other very talented piano players, I could not listen to it for more than one minute before clicking away to listen to this one instead. To me, this is the benchmark for La Campanella.
I felt every emotion coursing throughout this - and yet she maintained razor sharp focus and composure. How can anyone perform like this??? She changed us all in a few minutes. I still have shivers.
not to be discouraging to anyone trying to learn this piece but I’ve listened to loads of different interpretations and performances of this piece, from regular people to other classical pianists and while other performances like lang lang’s are obviously incredible and impressive, I’ve never heard anyone match Valentina. Her clarity, tempo, and dynamics are just unparalleled.
Yes, you have to be an advanced pianist to appreciate how further beyond mastery of piano playing this is. Take a doctoral music student considered to be a huge talent or world famous pianists like Lang lang, and imagine what two leagues above that would be, and it is already into the realm of the impossible and yet here is someone who would be a master of masters.
Valentina’s performances always go beyond my imagination like Furtwangler conducting Beethoven's symphony No. 9. I think true musicians can bring us to another dimension, bliss, like another conductor, Carlos Kleiber. Valentina gives us such extraordinary experiences. I believe the soul of Liszt also enjoys her music in heaven. Thank you, Valentina!
Talent requires discipline and sacrifice, It's not inborn nor done overnight nor gained in just a snap. one cannot be successful without sacrificing anything for that price.
@Ristar85 people are born with characteristics, and last time I checked being a pianist isn't a characteristic, you gain talent and skill through your life
+楊礎 I think he was mentioning the stereotype that Asians are usually extraordinarily talented and that if you say "Oh my god", then "Oh my god" indeed.
oh no !! He made a serious mistake Although I am a student of music department but does not mean I am also very talented on the other stuff is impossible to do good.....
Her La Campanella is incredibly beautiful and her powerful and passionate climax makes me emotional every time. ピアノを演奏されている間に見える優しい微笑もとても素敵です。 Valentinaさんの弾かれるラカンパネラが本当に大好きで何度も何度も見てしまいます。
By far the best interpretation of La Campanella I've ever watched. The intensity pushes and faster fashions are given exactly where needed. Godly and absolutely perfect. And better than her latest one in my opinion
I just listened to Kessia's and Rousseau's version and just clicked on this video by accident. Kessia and Rousseau are great pianists, but this here is a whole new level. You hear the difference in a matter of seconds.
Everyone is talking about how fast she plays.... how about how clear every note is???? You can hear every key strike crisp and clear. That's what makes it so beautiful!! This is how Liszt intended it to be played.
Liszt didn't write this version tho
Wait so Liszt wrote 1838 and 1854 versions as well?
@Anish Patel oh yeah on that side there's absolutely no discussion, she is without a doubt one of the best pianists or our times
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast!!!

She is my favorite modern pianist. The way she plays is incredible. So technically skilled and plays with feeling!
She is so incredibly smooth as her hands float over the keys. Thank you. It's a treat to watch.
I'm sure that Liszt is pleased in heaven..
Assuming if Heaven is real, that he's actually in Heaven.
ƐƖєgαηт OωƖ just play along
jarne dewitte lol
Liszt's a demon
He would be so proud
Could you imagine Liszt himself playing this in a concert atmosphere🖤😯😮?!?!! With all his showmanship and flare and this very fast, intense piece!!?!!! Loooove it!!!!
I've a strong feeling that Valentina is playing Liszts piece better here than he could manage...

How to play La Campanella like Valentina in one easy step
Step 1. DON'T
Kissin make it great
practice 40 hours a day
Step 1. Don't try it
More like 'You Can't'
Get massive hands
I swear I become more amazed every time I watch this
The confidence in her and the way she owned every note she played, almost made me believe that she wrote the piece herself. Oh. My. God. You are amazing.
Anyone who says Valentina is a robot who plays without feeling is just mad because she is a goddess on the piano. Her solo Rach at abbey road is some of my all time favorite music ever.
La Campanella is a famous classical music in Japan. Your performance of playing piano is excellent and the sound affects our hearts, moreover vibrates our souls❗️
Your fingers are quickly moving as if it looks like to be manipulated by angel. 貴女の演奏は素晴らしく、感動的です。💐
It’s famous everywhere smh
I am a pianist. At first, I didn't like Valentina. I realized that I was just jealous of how amazing she is. She is boss level pianist yall. Now, I look up to her. I hope to at least play the first 10 seconds of the song as well as she did....(that may even be pushing it. I say the first note)
I felt the same way the first time I heard Un Sospiro the first time.
She sucks
The first 10 seconds she didn't even start playing😂
How to play:
1: put your hands on the keys
2: have a seizure
Best comment by far
lol
What's a seizure ? I'm trying to learn english and I don't really understand Google's translation
@Fleks *_* on Wikipedia, a seizure is described as “a sudden attack of illness, especially a stroke or an epileptic fit.”
Basically, it’s where you suddenly cease and start shaking very violently.

For all those complaining about "mistakes", it is called interpretation, as in passion, as in creativity, as in the very mindset that allows for these masterpieces to be crafted in the first place. Musical genius is not parroting back the exact performance robotically time and time again. Believe it or not we already have machines that can do that far better than any human which can play pieces exactly every time. These are called recordings. Guaranteed anyone who views variety and interpretation as some sort of sin lacks the creative ability to compose anything for themselves. Again if you want perfect repetition listen to a machine.
+Jerad Clark Mistakes is not called "... interpretation, as in passion, as in creativity". Don't try to bullshit anyone; Yes, it is a great performance, yes, Lisitsa is one of the greater pianist as of now, but there are a lot of mistakes (due to the tempo). You could play passionately, AND play correctly as well. Does it matter? Perhaps not, but it is not passionate/creative/interpretive to make mistakes.
+ErkaaJ To play a wrong note is unimportant; but to play without passion is unexcusable!. L.V.Beethoven circa 1819
Did you even read what I said?
i wasent against you in any way, i was only sharing my part
+Jerad Clark You are quite wrong. Mistakes are NOT interpretation. Mistakes are mistakes. And there are plenty here.
Imagine being her boyfriend and arguing with her on the text. Good luck with it
Jack A lol so underated
piano doesn't help with that however it does help a little with typing
she's married
hanan jaser it’s a joke
@@jaydens7309 i know. i just wanted to let Jack know
The best performance of "la campanella" I've ever seen!
RuleBritannia listen to gyorgy cziffra's version
It's mesmerising to watch someone so perfectly mastering their "work". I have goosebumps across my whole body, hair and teeth included. Absolutely wonderful art. Of both Liszt and Lisitsa rising to heaven in levels of synergy never thought possible.
Tooth bumps
what i love from her is she always shows her emotions perfectly so we can feel it too..
Me before starting the video: This song seems like a nice piece to learn. Let's see how she plays this.
Me after: Maybe in 50 years.
try never. only a handful of people on earth know how to play this flawlessly
Yup, that's exactly how i got here too. Not that I need to WAIT 50 years, but it would TAKE years of learning/practice - just this song, say 2 hours a day, would probably take a year. Then I'd need to start practicing playing it faster.
Renowned Ramen maybe you can start playing this song at the speed of 1 note/ chord per minute
You profile is the picture maruchan???realy??
You misspelled lifetimes
Imagine how long she must have practiced in order to make it look this easy. How much better can she really play this? Was this really her best run through? Imagine she walks off stage and she thinks to herself, Dang I played better than that yesterday. As if we could fathom it being better than it already is
Shes is kinda genious at piano like few ppl in the world maybe it was not that dificult for her like we all commom human beings
At no point does this look easy lmao
Piano Manufacturer: "this piano should last you a good 40 years of playing."
Piano after this one performance : *sad noises
Osrs is the best!
😂😂😂
Perusing over some of these extensive negatives comments it is evident that the world is rife with unskilled arm chair critics. It's truly disheartening.
Stay positive and employ gratitude for this woman's ability to deliver sensational music.
Bravo and encore.
ArGyProductions I think it was an encore
Valentina talked with me yesterday!!!
SHE IS SO LOVELY, REALLY
I LOVE HER
That's awesome, I would be so honored to speak with her
creepy.. Brain Conradsen
I talked to Valentina. She doesn't know you... Btw she also said that stop commenting on all of her videos. It's annyoing she said.
Jakealoanardo Mc Duckingo fake af 😑
Me too when I started piano in self-taught,
I think it's one of the only pianist who is not arrogant and who sees the piano as a real passion and not only for the money
24 frames per second just won't cut it.
+crouchingspinach 60FPS PC MASTERRACE
It's not the matter of frame rate. Valentina is curving space and time around her.
Only 60 FPS peasant. I mean I know its been 2 years since this was posted but still.
Leaving the stage like a badass at the end. I love it
-First the speed of a plane
-Then comes the speed of sound
-Then the speed of sound passing through diamonds

Right hand is the most used one here.
Cute >\\\
I shouldnt be laughing this much
Fun fact- this piece is actually an arm workout in disguise.
I mean, did you see how chiseled her arms are?
I mean it is an etude, not a far extension from an arm workout
Fun fact- this arm workout is actually a piece in disguise
@@frankhamburger2075 Some etudes can get pretty fucking brutal indeed lol
Rip them tendons.
Me : La campanella? Maybe I'll try to play that.
*sees this cover*
Me : Never mind that shit. Fuck That.
One day...
Dont worry this is the paganini version, which is like 4 times as hard as liszt's (did I spell that right?) version. There is an easy version of the original version that isnt too hard and even I can play it.
Valentina plays the Liszt version here
Dude, check out Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No.2. That's probably even harder than this.
Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 is a lot harder than this.
Вы счастливый человек....бог ,природа и ваши корни дали вам задаток ,который неимоверным трудом...и любовью к своему делу...Вы вложили в рамки своего ремесла ,раздвинув рамки и подарив просто музыку....спасибо
This is by far the best interpretation on this piece I've ever heard. 👏👏👏
Every other interpretation I found on TH-cam by other very talented piano players, I could not listen to it for more than one minute before clicking away to listen to this one instead. To me, this is the benchmark for La Campanella.
I felt every emotion coursing throughout this - and yet she maintained razor sharp focus and composure.
How can anyone perform like this???
She changed us all in a few minutes. I still have shivers.
Valentina has THREE beautiful hands... :D
Nope.
She got 9.

Filipino pianist here. I really love valentina. She's really good for la campanella
ヴァレンティナさんの音の粒はなんという美しさなのか。こんなにも1音1音が聴こえるカンパネラを聴いたことがありません。彼女の腕や指のどこに力が入っているのか見ていても全くわかりません。どう言う弾き方をすればこんな音が出せるのだろう。
not to be discouraging to anyone trying to learn this piece but I’ve listened to loads of different interpretations and performances of this piece, from regular people to other classical pianists and while other performances like lang lang’s are obviously incredible and impressive, I’ve never heard anyone match Valentina. Her clarity, tempo, and dynamics are just unparalleled.
Yes, you have to be an advanced pianist to appreciate how further beyond mastery of piano playing this is. Take a doctoral music student considered to be a huge talent or world famous pianists like Lang lang, and imagine what two leagues above that would be, and it is already into the realm of the impossible and yet here is someone who would be a master of masters.
The feeling is overwhelming - the right hand lives its own life
Valentina’s performances always go beyond my imagination like Furtwangler conducting Beethoven's symphony No. 9. I think true musicians can bring us to another dimension, bliss, like another conductor, Carlos Kleiber. Valentina gives us such extraordinary experiences. I believe the soul of Liszt also enjoys her music in heaven. Thank you, Valentina!
本当に美しい音の粒たち！

Talent requires discipline and sacrifice, It's not inborn nor done overnight nor gained in just a snap.
one cannot be successful without sacrificing anything for that price.
*ACTUALLY*
@Ristar85 people are born with characteristics, and last time I checked being a pianist isn't a characteristic, you gain talent and skill through your life
Ristar85 You’re arguing against a point they didn’t make...
Paganini disagrees

Although I am a student of music department but does not mean I am also very talented on the other stuff is impossible to do good.....
Her La Campanella is incredibly beautiful and her powerful and passionate climax makes me emotional every time.

Your playing really resembles the sound of a bell. Perfect Campanella. It's just amazing. Bravo! Вы просто невероятны!
I bloody love the sustaining of the many notes while she trills the E♭ and E ❤
I love her rendition of La Capanella so much. I don't care what the haters say. Her rendition sounds divine!
liszt was drunk when he was writing this piece
Isaac Gomes it was originally composed by Paganini but ok
@@Omega-py7fj To be fair, Paganini was probably drunk, gambling, and banging a groupie when writing this.
@@autumnrain249 May be after selling his soul
@@ららー-r5q The 'sold their soul to the devil for their virtuoso' thing cracks me up lawl
Paganini composed this piece. He's was drunk, not Liszt
By far the best interpretation of La Campanella I've ever watched. The intensity pushes and faster fashions are given exactly where needed. Godly and absolutely perfect. And better than her latest one in my opinion
I just listened to Kessia's and Rousseau's version and just clicked on this video by accident. Kessia and Rousseau are great pianists, but this here is a whole new level. You hear the difference in a matter of seconds.
Excellent amateur to excellent professional pianist
Beautiful Lisitsa. You are always inspiring me in my piano practising. Thank you. GOD BLESS YOU.
Великолепно! Дай Боже здоровья Вам. Живите долго. Творите долго
She walks on stage, shows that piano the time of its life, then walks off as if nothing happened. Epic
