I hope you enjoy it :)
I did enjoy it. This woman is very talented. I also love her playing Sonata in B minor
Thanks
Very helpful
This is beyond wonderful. I've heard this before many times, but never like this. I'm pretty old (74 1/2 and counting) and fell in love with classical music when it was available in small towns where I lived only on the backs of children's music (yellow discs the size of the later 45 RPMs, but 78 RPM which all there was at the time). Amazing how one person with incredible talent (you) can can change a lifetime of feeling about particular compositions. For me, this was even more striking with the Liszt piece which you recently posted. Many, many thanks.
with 74, you´re not old, you´re blossomed.
Words are so hard to find. Absolutely overwhelming experience. Simply adorable. Lisitsa does it again and again.....
Je m'attendais à une interprétation aussi romantique et passionnée de Valentina dans ces Etudes Symphoniques de Schumann, après Beethoven, Chopin, Lizst, Rachmaninoff. Puissance, légèreté et sa marque de fabrique, son doigté si particulier. Comme d'habitude je suis comblé. Merci encore Valentina.
so sad we live in a world where we are condemned for being honest and truthful regarding how we feel. They seem to want to hunt us down if we don't support their wars. My heart thanks you Valentina, and thank you for sharing your wonderful gift
I'm really falling in love with you. It was you who cleared my way to classical music. Without ear for music, without any musical education i listened to your records and discovered - suddenly! - this amazing art, this special world. Thank you so much for every half-note.
BRAVA! I am 70 years old, house-bound, and depend on You Tube for top quality classical music. Thank you for providing it.
How did she achieve such technical and musical mastery over everything she plays---it's astounding!
She was born in USSR. That is all.
I wanted to comment since you uploaded the Symphonic Studies and still don't find words.
It's just WONDERFUL music.
Florestan dancing in ecstasy, Eusebius dreaming ...
All the many problems and difficulties RESOLVED.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your great work.
May God bless and protect you and your wonderful family 💝🙏🏼
Valentina, You truly have become my shining star..:) I listen to you on a daily basis and it calms my soul. Thank you for everything you do for the Music World.
This interpretation was awesome, bravo! Schumann seems to be one of the hardest composers to play! His music is so nuanced, his rhythmic structure was so unique with so much different voicing. The music just looks funky on sheet too, but when played there’s these amazing intertwined melodies-like blowing leaves in the wind. I believe you brought this out wonderfully, thank you!
Valentina is creating the piece at the moment she plays it. She put Schumann aside and she is the composer. She abandoned the script and the black dots and lines on the pages and she gives it new life. That is the essence of performing great music. and that is how all the performers should be. Not how it is supposed to be like the teachers told us , but how it can talk to you even if it takes to change the score . Excellent !
Fantastic !! Left hand incredibile sound !!! Valentina we love youuu
What is so amazing is how her playing can have so much impact. I mean it goes beyond complimentary and appreciation. It’s a cure for the ill, melody for the feel, excitement to get your thrill. She plays above the composition creators themselves. It’s a timeless, elegant and enchanting experience for anyone who is alive. I play piano because of her. I mean it. It’s because of the love of it I have now. I don’t want to be the best at something Ike I used to with all other endeavors. I just want to close my eyes and touch the keys and here the beautiful thing that come out! :). I’m so happy because of it :)
Splendid, superb. More rubato than I'm used to hearing with this piece, but that was still very much appreciated. The Prestos were even faster than Pollini and Richter. Thank you for your posting Mrs Lisitsa.
Etudes VI and X at amazing tempos.
Beautiful interpretation. Some people play his music too slow(which can be deadly) and sacrifice the passion and impetuosity of his music for more lyric and patrician approach. (His gorgeous piano concerto in A minor is often marred by this style of playing.) You got the crazy Schumann that I love. He is one of most elusive composers to interpret. And you nailed it here! Bravo Valentina!
You are very brave, very talented and penetrating. To see the truth through the think wall of Western media and have enough courage to express what you think and not what the people around want you to think - this deserves admiration.
Cheers from Italy.
+S0larus Well said SOlarus! She is very brave! (And beautiful and talented) I Love her!!!
+S0larus Fully agree. Valentina is a wonderful pianist and a strong, forthright personality. Such people are not usually liked by politicians and bigots. Luckily, she is much loved by everyone else.
well said ,,,
It's really great of you to upload these big works like the Lisztz sonata and the Schumann symphonic etudes, very enjoyable to listen to your playing so thankyou Valentina. I hope to see you in concert one day if you ever come to Birmingham, England.
Valentina looks and sounds like the second coming of Franz Liszt.
her interpretation of this work is the best I've ever heard. she plays each etude the way Schumann most likely wanted them played. she brings out schumann's great genius.
Please hear Yves Nat and Natan Brand.
way beyond pianistic bravura, invoking the spirit of the music remains the special power of exceptional musicians such as Valentina. A wondrous gift to us all, thank you Valentina.
Absolutely beautiful!
Your technique and passion are unmatched amongst modern pianists! It is refreshing and a relief to know that another generation continues to carry the torch!
Thank you and God bless!

this wasn't one of my favorite schumann pieces yet valentina sold me on it with her soulful artistry, 3:30 am and i can't pause this to go to sleep. rivieting!!! in fact valentina is becoming a nightly ritual!.
that variation at 13:00 so shiny and colorfull. It resembles to me something really innocent and its real contrast with the mood of the other variations in the opus.
Absolutely love that variation. One of those wonders of Schumann's delicacy. With him it's never empty sentimentalism; there are always multiple layers, in this case for example the brilliant polyphonic lines.
Oh, and regarding the contrast with the other pieces: I think it also has to do with the fact that Schumann switches to major at that point. The piece overall is in C sharp minor, but that part is in major. I don't have the score here, but I'm guessing it's written down in D flat major (C sharp major would be just ridiculous with stuff like E sharps).
sure is a good performance...and the sound of the grand so good and in tune ...sound like this is never heard on utube...Valentina pays attention to the details
Fantastic! Sweet memories of Quebec recital! Thank you very very much, Valentina! I really love and appreciate so much what you do! ! I Hope to see you again on Quebec!
Oh my gosh!! - I never knew that the music of Schumann could be so beautiful yet, emotionally strong and expressive. And I bet that my most very favorite classical pianist here (which MEANS A LOT for me to even say that) is having much to do with the impression of his music on me in this video. Example to my point: Since I first heard Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata Op.27 No.2 Mov.1,2,3 (The Goldberg Variations) in the 1980's, I've not cared for anyone elses interpretations of them until I finally heard Valentina's in 2017. Thank you mam so, so very much for what you do!!
She's an ANGEL, a Gift from God to the UNIVERSE and me, and The Best... EVER!!! When I was young i used to hear renditions on Wilhelm Backhaus, Clara Haskil, Myra Hess, Claudio Arrau; later on I listen Martha Argerich, Wilhelm Kempff, Sviatoslav Richter, among other amazing musicians... But VALENTINA... She´s DIVINE!!!
You remind me of why I love Schumann so much. A superb performance of a giant piece.
Sorprendente e senza parole,Valentina.
Merci beaucoup, Chère Valentina, de partager ainsi avec nous tant d'émotions. Affectueusement, Johan.
Such a passionate playing...
In my whole life I have not felt such passion coming out from a piano's keys...
I congratulete you wholeheartedly!!! :D
THE MOST PERFECT EXECUTION OF THIS PIECE I EVER HEARD. CONGRATULATIONS... SHE IS THE BEST.
She shows wonderful timbral and textural imagination-Schumann often has at least 3voices singing here and her individuality with texture,pedalling and phrasing are unique as is her technical finesse here .Her reading here is totally hers ! Just heard Elly Ney in this and was let down her AppendixVariations are better for some reason -after hearing the remarkable Andor Foldes in Kreisleriana 's gems (he should have a larger reputation !
Без всякого преувеличения я считаю Вас самым значительным музыкантом нашего времени. С наслаждением слушаю музыку в вашем исполнении и очень горжусь Вами. Храни Вас Бог!
So beautiful, amazing performance as always.
I have enjoyed this interpretation of yours the most since Pollini's on DG many years ago which I still cherish but Bravo all the same ! Truly felt and wonderfully poetic. More Schumann would be very welcome from you Valentina !
I discovered that I love Schumann now. Thanks Valentina for that.
I want to thank because I'm in the World at the same time with Valentina, enjoying her gifted hands!
Wunderschön Valentina, einfach wunderschön
Valentina: you have no comparison, you are more than talented, you are a genius, you steal my breath; today is November 7, 2018 and I have just heard this colossal piano work from your hands and while I see you and listen at the same time I see the score and I feel overwhelmed by the immense complexity of this piano work; I think Schumann is superior to Chopin or Liszt; you are like Clara Schumann; I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. (You look beautiful are the hair loose and with that black dress) I love you very much.
I'm glad to know you're the one who agrees with me that Schumann is a greater composer than many others, at least in piano music.
Valentina es una de las grandes pianistas del momento. A mi me encanta porque, además de su impecable técnica, tiene muchísima personalidad . Es inconfundible y maravillosa. Que Dios te conserve por muchos años para que podamos seguir escuchando tus fantásticas interpretaciones
Thank you Ms Lisitsa. Schumann is certainly smiling as you play.
So beautiful! Thank you,, Valentina, for these magnificent videos. You bring untold joy and inspiration to countless fans!
Thanks so much Valentina. I particularly loved the Finale, which - in your hands - is like his symphonic finales, though written well before them! Bravissimo!
Unparalleled beauty and power.
Really dramatic wardrobe/staging. Like the ghost of Clara Wieck. Beautiful all around.
Before this piece, Clara’s Piano Concerto in A minor and Romanz, Op. 22, No. 1, in D-flat Major were my recent favorites. So intense. Would love to spend lots of time at her and Robert’s home.
Two of my favorites ❤️
Finally, there is a full video of this wonderful piece...
outstanding. one of my favorite piano compositions played like i've never heard it before, and also the way it should be played with lots of contrast in interpretation and technique.
Thank you Ms Lisitsa, this is profound and poetic.You are an asset to the 21st century> I look forward to hearing your interpretation of the B minor Sonata by Liszt,an all time favorite piece of mine by a composer,I have loved for over thirty years.
I'm twelve and I take piano lessons I love to listen to you in my free time. I hope to be as good as you when I get older. please keep posting new songs you are playing. my favorite song you have played is Beethoven's moonlight sonata.
+ValentinaLisitsa You are considered the top pianist for most of the fans in China, and we sincerely hope that some day you will come to China and play for the fans in the far east!
Просто чудесный!! Simplemente milagroso!!
ValentinaLisitsa Thank you once again for the brilliant technique and interpretation you bring to each one of your performances. I'm a violinist myself but I'm always inspired to go and practice after seeing you play :) Super excited for your TSO concert April 9!!
I think this is the best performance of this studies. God bless u!
Picked up your CD of the Études at your performance in Cincinnatti--so glad to get to SEE such an intimate performance! Bravo!
Woo this is a great performance 👏👏👏 Bravo Valentina. Bravissimo 🎉🎉🎉🎹🎶
Thank you Valentina! You're one of my favorite pianist, and your technique is wonderful! I love your relaxing and your musicality. I would like listen you in Alkan's studies. I hope you will come soon in France, in Paris, maby Lyon?
I have listened to lots of recordings of this set. Few have ever come close to matching this level of quality. Magnificent. Clara Wieck reborn!
Posting Free, professional recordings on TH-cam ?! Thank you Very much !!!!! Schumann would have loved this recording :-D
She is a very talented piano player. I also love her playing Liszt's Sonata in B minor. She's wearing the same dress playing this piece as while playing Sonata in B minor, same concert performance
Your talent is so raw, something truly magical!
Валентина, ваше исполнение вдохновляет! Спасибо Вам.....
Браво,Валентина! Спасибо!
This is the best existing recording of schumann op. 13.Really the best! (And I've heard many many recordings).What a pity that you didn't use a Steinway.What a pity!What a pity!
She had another performance of this where she's playing in a house. It's spectacular. I've heard her play in person when she was staying in Miami in the 90's, and she was unbelievable.
Lovely playing. Thank you for posting your videos. You are an amazing ambassador for music!
Valentna, I worked on this years ago. The stretches in parts were too much for my hands. I would have stayed with it longer if I had envisioned how magnificent it can be in the hands of a truly gifted artist! Thank you for this video! It's overwhelmingly wonderful!
Oh! So good to see that there's an new video of yours! I know already that you're playing wonderfully! You're my idol!
This is the best I've heard.
The technical challenges of these etudes are substantial; and even as other pianists master them, they dominate the interpretation.
Lisitsa's is the only interpretation where the technicality lies completely in the background, so that the full poetry of Schumann comes through, seemingly effortlessly.
On some other pieces, I find Lisitsa's interpretations less seductive and imaginative that those of other pianists.
But not here: I don't really want to list to any other interpretations of the symphonic etudes after this!
Absolutely innovative technique, harmonies, and the treatment of variations as the form. Schumann at his very best, and it does not matter, that the part of last variation, possible the greater one, is not properly of Schumann.
И грандиозный performance Валентины. Грандиозный и в техническом, и в интеллектуальном плане. Этот цикл совершенно сатанинский по сложности.
Впервые слышу такого ! Schumanna !!! Anbilievabl !!!
Thank you ! Very, very, very ....
piano simpl super ...
I'm a korean student fan and went to your concert in Seoul! Your Liszt and Schumann was so fantastic :)
Additionally, thank you for your sign:)
I had never listened to these before. It goes on for over 30 min. so I thought I would listen a bit and see what they were like. I listened to it all! Really liked a lot of them. I wonder why they aren’t played more often?
They are quite commonly played by the top artists, as far as Schumann masterpieces go.
She plays from heaven..
Once again sound waves of life echoing from your Majestic hands !
Very nicely done, Valentina.
Come to Brazil!! You're great Valentina.
Seriously? I've heard you play it live before on a Bösendorfer Imperial. I've listened to the version on your CD. But this is amazing! I love the finale in particular. One big accelerando. Thanks so much!
Amazing performance, good video, good sound quality, perfect...
Необузданная романтическая поэтика игры. Молодец!
Great performance dear Valentina Lisitsa .. I think that this is the first time you play Schumann's work.
Thank you for sharing such beauty and skill
Howdy Valentina, I do hope you do a release of the Rach 1 piano sonata...Your playing of it is a favorite interpretation of mine. Thanks again for the music
Exelente niña. Gracias.
Великая Валентина, как всегда, совершенство❤❤❤
From Caracas, Venezuela. I hope you can come to my country when we recover our freedom. I admire your art whole, but specially your rhythm !!
@@ValentinaLisitsaQOR ♥️
Absolutely wonderful.
This video made me love schumann music.. N°11 op 13 is outstanding
A very original, interesting, and beautiful interpretation! Really fantastic!
В Шуманне есть какая-то необьяснимая грандиозность .
Это не музыка, изменчивая звучащая волна , волна не подчинённой природы , такая объёмная , дышащая , стремительная и плачущая ...
Необыкновенно !!!
Brilliant in all respects. Wow...Thank you, Valentina!
Thanks, Valentina. A wonderful and splendid study of Schumann music. You are play this piece at level of Richter or Brendel. Great. Madrid waiting for you.
I can give you a hint: buy her CD with Schumann and Chopin: it's great!!!
ValentinaLisitsa But yes, it is great, especially for 2 reasons: the combination between speed and musical intensity and the fact, that you din't make a pause between the Etudes. This makes ist unpossible for the listener to breathe. It's the best CD I actually have! Regards and hoping to see you once live in north Germany:)))
She is incredibly gifted❣️🌹🥰
So beautiful... I have to learn that asap...
Amazing
Особенно учитывая что это живая запись...!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bravo Divina Valentina!!! Exquisita!!!
Прекрасное исполнение, спасибо Валентина. Хочется только пожелать, чтобы вам не ставили палки в колеса из-за вашего личного мнения отличного от политиков запада. Надеюсь, у вас хватит сил и желания придерживаться своей позиции и надеюсь ваши фанаты будут вас поддерживать во чтобы то ни стало.
All the time I'm thinking I don't like Schumann, but that was a delight. Thanks
You should listen to his A minor piano concerto It's amazing
Its interesting yo not that Majoofi's experience was exactly like mine. It was not until I heard my teacher Orrett Rhoden playing these Symphonic Etudes at Zankel Hall in Carnegie Hall (I had never heard the piece before) that was the revelation and new found love for Schumann. Indeed he has WONDERFUL Music..you just have to find them and after a while you will know and love Schumann for who he is!!!
ValentinaLisitsa It is interesting the bipolar feelings that seem to be taking place here because I am a die hard Brahmsian!!!! even though I played only one work from him to date. Bhrams is my favouite composer of the lot. :) we are just intertwining our composers of interest... and thankfully there is no longer a conflict of interest lol....... :-))
ValentinaLisitsa
I admire Brahms but I've always been more devoted to Liszt
+Majoofi I said it myself a few years ago. after hearing out most of his works now I cant without him :)
