You know you're listening to an outstanding pianist when you've been playing this piece for years but it sounds like it's not the same piece you've just heard. Congrats Valentina ! Loved it
I discovered her over 10 years ago. and she made a stop in my city but I couldn't afford to see her at the time. but yes I absolutely love her interpretations. brings new life to all my favourite pieces and always very original.
Perhaps you can help. I am studying this piece and have arrived at the last page. The lines of the last page only make sense when you play them by alternating them and skipping the immediate run-on line, so 1 3 5. I even found a recording of Rachmaninoff himself playing it and that is how he plays the last page. So are the second, fourth and sixth lines superfluous? Thanks
I can honestly say I’ve never heard the largo “so largo”. Your performance gives it such a majestic weight. I don’t even know how to describe it. Amazing as always Valentina.
We’re waiting on that long awaited Chopin Fantasie Impromptu op.66, Valentina!! I’ve wanted to hear your version of it for more than 10 years now!! I love the music you make!
J'aime beaucoup votre interprétation. Vous prenez le temps de présenter le thème et les enchaînements sont divins. Fidèle au texte avec vos profonts sentiments. Bravo Valentina.
Дорогая Валентина, это просто чудесное исполнение! Так передать всю мощь и все настроение этой прелюдии можете только вы, играя в особом, вашем темпе. Великолепное исполнение!!!!
Magnificent recording as always. I hope you can play in Paris soon, the concert halls miss you so much, so do I. Once again, thanks for sharing your beautiful performance of this piece
I am SO happy you uploaded a performance of this piece. I had looked for a performance of this from you many times and never found one, and you did NOT disappoint. Simply stellar.
Замечательно, Валентина Евгеньевна! Великий Рахманинов в исполнении замечательной, чудесной доброй Феи из далёкой детской сказки. Обожаю Рахманинова. Это для сердца, для души. Прокофьев для меня сложен. Но Сергей Сергеевич, наш земляк, это как наша совесть звучащая в музыке. А Сергей Васильевич это душа и сердце тоже звучащие в музыке. И музыка эта из Ваших рук ложится прямо на душу и на сердце. По этому Вы добрая Фея из далёкой чудесной сказки! Спасибо Вам❗❗❗ 👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖💐💐💐🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Tengo 21 años. Nunca es tarde para tocar... ademas creo que es uno de los mejores momentos, porque sabes lo que te gusta. Ella es mi Inspiracion.... las ganas de aprender ella me ayudo. La Admiro mucho. Una gran pianista... la mejor para mi
Valentino, I have listened to you for years. I am in awe with every piece you play. If only I would have stuck to playing the piano diligently, I might be one tenth as good as you! You are simply awesome. Also, my husband and I pray for you and your family that all is well with you in regard to the situation with Ukraine and Russia!! What a tragedy, and it still goes on. I will continue to listen to you every week as I do now. You are one of a kind!! Best of everything to you now and in the future! 💕💕💕
5 am havnt touched piano in weeks im at the point of giving up my dreams, listening to this makes me want to play and i hope i will feel the same way when i wake up. Thank you
One of my favotire piece from one of my favorite pianist, its fabulous thank you for this performance. It has plenly of emotion, you can feel some king of deep grief as well as as confusion. Greeting from belgium
When will VL do Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody no. 6? It's a favorite piece of mine and I've been unable to find the VL version. With every classical piano piece there's the Valentina way and then there's everyone else.
Absolutely sensational, as always! This is probably one of my favourite compositions, can you play it with such unique passion and talent, thank you so much for sharing it with us, you’re incredible!
We want scherzo no 2! There was no need to delete it, it was good, only the video was with those strange gray stuff! But I know why you did that, you are perfeccionist, that's why you're one of the best pianists alive!
A true and beautiful masterpiece, playing one of my favorite masterpieces. Hesitant to write this, but this is also, by far my favorite execution of this prelude. It means more than words can express. It's disheartening how many ppl do not appreciate nor value the beauty of classical music, such as classics such as this one. But it tugs on my heart strings knowing I am very lucky to be one of the few who not only value/appreciate it, but truly love and respect it (and you) for what it (and you) truly is (are). I hope one day to see you live performing in NYC much sooner rather than later. Your technique is heavenly and 'beyond this world'. I foresee lots of fundraisers and events not only to keep music and art alive, but to expand and thrive. May the universe send you many blessings of divine love, and divine light. 💛🌟🌸💐🌹
Congratulations Ms Lisita. Brilliant as always. I actually prefer your version to Rachmaninoff's recording because you give the peace more warmth and colour and because you don't eat it up quite as fast as he does.
Thank you Valentina! I saw how you did measures 28 and 29 on the c# and b in the left hand; wasn't sure if I could roll that or do an octave up on the c#. Saw how you bounced that c# in a roll. Made my day. Been teaching my myself mostly. So seeing how you did it helped. Thank you and God bless!💐
Аристократочка ... Прекрасная ночью и днём. В Вас чисто-разумные смыслы. Каштаново-медным руном покрыты высокие мысли. Вы очень словесно мудры, хозяйственны и благородны, пристойны, добры и умны, тихи, театральны и модны! Ваш облик спокоен, как штиль, душист, как кавказская роза, успешен, начитан и мил, пьянящ, как коньячные дозы. Бухгалтерский взор так хорош, что манит раздумья поэта, что явно на кофе похож в преддверии нового лета! .........
It sounds to me like Rachmaninoff found a way to make sense out of the Presto Finale of Chopin's B flat minor Sonata. So brooding and played so beautifully here. Thank you. Merci beaucoup.
There's something just so captivating and dark in pieces written in C minor. This prelude conveys it perfectly, especially when performed by the Queen of Rachmaninov 👌
Ren yes I agree to ur statement too. It is the darkness of a nightmare. C minor is rather passionate, C# minor is some kind of unimaginable darkness and anger. (But it is kinda weird that u say C minor in a piece that’s written in C# minor, because u can’t include C# minor into C minor.)
You know you're listening to an outstanding pianist when you've been playing this piece for years but it sounds like it's not the same piece you've just heard.
Congrats Valentina ! Loved it
This is the best interpretation i have ever heard, wow

Such a wonderful interpretation :)
wsjoiram: 1 3 5 are the right hand and 2 4 6 the left hand, if we talk about the score I've got here. :)
Thanks. I need to check something, then I'll get back to you.
My piano teacher introduced me to you many many years ago and I still find myself in awe of your stunning performances time and time again
Same
I introduced my piano teacher to her
I can honestly say I’ve never heard the largo “so largo”. Your performance gives it such a majestic weight. I don’t even know how to describe it. Amazing as always Valentina.
She played as though it were grave.
Dear Valentina. Rachmaninoff's art lives through your hands. Merci beaucoup pour partager. we love you in Suisse😍
We’re waiting on that long awaited Chopin Fantasie Impromptu op.66, Valentina!! I’ve wanted to hear your version of it for more than 10 years now!! I love the music you make!
You can find on yt an amazing interpretation of that by Daniil Trifonov. th-cam.com/video/Gy5UHK4EeM8/w-d-xo.html

Привет из Луганска !
I'm stunned. Was just clicking on my phone and this has stopped me in my tracks. Brilliant.
Браво! Чудове, найкраще виконання твору, яке доводилося чути. КИЇВ ЛЮБИТЬ ВАС!
"Ladies and gentlemen, The superwoman of the piano.... Valentina Lisitsa!" X
Валентина, сердце подчиняется этому ритму, то замирает, то разгоняет бег...
Whoever says Valentina doesn't play with emotion are definitely deaf
Weird, I always Loved her because it seems like she plays with more emotion than everyone else
Valentina is a Virtuoso. She is beyond emotion.
Righhhht. Like who the hell are these people?? Valentina is bae
What?
What did you say?
Very few meet this God like level of Perfection.
Such an honor to watch.
Halloween special is getting soooo good, now with this it's even better. Thank you Miss Lisitsa.
Дорогая Валентина, это просто чудесное исполнение! Так передать всю мощь и все настроение этой прелюдии можете только вы, играя в особом, вашем темпе. Великолепное исполнение!!!!
I hardly took a breath watching this.... just stunning!
May I also compliment the creative camera work.
Love from NZ
Love the way she plays, her style is so unique.
Magnificent recording as always. I hope you can play in Paris soon, the concert halls miss you so much, so do I. Once again, thanks for sharing your beautiful performance of this piece
Bells bells bells everywhere! Love Rachmaninoff. Thank you Maestra!
Your performance touched my heart…
What if your heart has covid now...
@@tg4q391 her playing has cleansing effects so it would kill any form of covid virus in the “touch”. touché. :3
her performance traumatized my heart

Amazing. No other words can describe.
Working on this now. Playing piano is a great way to get through all this global craziness!
Прекраснейшая, Валентина! Идеальное мастерство❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When this pandemic ends , plz come to Greece !!

@@lisamcallister6534 i did😊
I love the quiet approach she takes to the beginning
LoL
This woman is a beast
I never cease to be impressed by her amazing talent- following her about 13 years now.
Goosebumps. Your Rachmaninoff is amazing as always. ❤

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, KRASAVA :)
Your color and control of the voicing are simply, mesmerizing. Please stay healthy, we need your voice on concert stages.
I like the black and white effect on this clip. Thank you for this share.
theres something so sinister about the way she performs this piece. its really breathtaking and mesmerizing to watch her play
I especially like her tempo and her dynamics in the beginning, it's like if not was moving.
Еще чуть-чуть и я эту прелюдию доучу))) У вас она звучит как всегда, великолепно.
This is my favorite rachmaninoff peice! Getting to hear my favorite pianist play it is a gift from the world :)

The most relaxed performance I know of. With such grace and tempo and yet so relaxed. Bravo!
the legend herself has just made a powerful statement
one of the best pieces for piano and one of the best performances
The movement of hands in the beginning is elegant.
Now that was a real treat! Hopefully I will be able to play this piece someday...

Valentina Lisitsa is actually one of my favourite pianists, I wish I could have her talented fingers! Amazing Performance!
I think it'm more about her consistency than her fingers 😁
Dear Madam you are always above all other interpreters...Merci so much.
One problem for me now I am addicted
an absolute living legend
Feels like it's a new classical piece. Thanks for making this video. A refreshing version of a classic Rachmaninoff.
Thank you! Thank you very much for give us your wonderful concerts! Thank you! Thank you!
I love It how play the piano, fantastic, beautiful congratulations @Valentina Lisitsa!!
Thank you very the view of superb technique. Ultimate performance, instrument and recording.
My old ticker gets a wobble every time I watch one of your videos. This one is no exception, it's just great! ❤❤❤
If angels learned to perform Rachmaninoff, this video by Valentina would be the main piece of learning.
I could write a lot of things, but it is enought to say : you’re just the best !
Não me canso em dizer: maravilhoso é uma palavra polcas para tamanho talento e beleza Parabéns
Здравствуйте. Vivaldi - Winter очень хотелось бы посмотреть в Вашем исполнении!) заранее спасибо)
Black and white... Like a piano's keyboard... Great Valentina! 🌹🎹
Браво！Прекрасное исполнение.
Валентина гений,техника и душа, всё есть в её исполнении. Браво.

She will be regarded as a great artist for all eternity ❤😊😊😊
Really, violently awesome. I still trying to perform this playing but I have never listen such amazing and brilliant piano teacher as you.
