    Quite amazing. You are somewhat eccentric, but have a wonderful imagination. I believe you are attracted to this piano because it puts you in direct contact with great pianists from the past and allows you to fantasize with their spirits.. For an antique it plays very nicely. You do it justice.

      Guys: You missed Liszt/Schubert Winterreise-1, Klage - beautiful clips! And another Etude after op.10.12, then more from Chaconne, Etude 10.4 E major,
      Why did this piano frighten others - was it because Pleyel is so seldom heard in concert halls? I like its response to your touch. And I like your dress-code :)
      The bass is very responsive in Busoni's dramatic "orchestration" of The Chaconne. Thanks for sharing - you are such an inspiration! :)

    • @michaelwisse9284
      @michaelwisse9284 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is''nt straight strung it is cross-strung (although it shure sounds like it !) you can see that from 3,32. Nevertheless a very fine instrument. Absolute top quality with a very clear and open sound. Ideal for romantic music of the nineteenth century wether its Beethoven Schubert Chopin Schumann Lizst or Brahms or even Rachmaninoff. You will be able to hear all the notes in the score !

  • @ClassicalSoundIdeal

    This piano is one generation younger than my Pleyel of 1870 and there is still a resemblance in sound!

  • @mrnfdz7831
    @mrnfdz7831 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    my very humble opinion, is that the sound of concert pianos are for large audiences. Pianos with silvery sound like pleyel are closer to an intimate state of the tracks. Touched with hands as sensitive as yours is a journey to the time where they were written much of it ... I'm a fan of the sound that has the Pleyel Pianino so I am biased ;). (Sorry, google translated me)

  • @user-74652
    @user-74652 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wish I could try out this piano. It sounds absolutely nothing like the tired old Steinways you hear everywhere. I know this one is much newer than what Chopin played, but it definitely reminds me of what I heard from videos of the restored instrument. Of course, given this instrument's reputation for being not for the lighthearted, I probably wouldn't be able to make it sound nearly as good.
    And my god, through my headphones, the bass on this instrument sounds amazing.

      I can play it well and I'm so glad. But I'm struggling for ages with pathetique mov 1... is it that hard? And I've played it so many times that there's no spontaniety just mechanic all over again.... is Pathetique mov 1 much harder than tempest mov 3? :(

    • @themillionchildren
      @themillionchildren 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Francisco Pinto
      no. If I may give you my opinion, just leave that beautiful pathetique for a while 'til you almost forget it. And when going back to it you fingers will remember all of it without the need of your memory/mind and then you will have the joy to play it with your soul only.
      I wonder if I explained myself well enough? I hope. Enjoy

    Absolutely gorgeous piano! The instrument has a truly deep and rich sound. :-) This is surely a far upgrade over the piano you played on in your recital in Lowell, MA a couple of years ago. If you are interested in some really nice pianos, visit the Frederick Collection in Ashburnham. You can play instruments of this vintage and much older.

    A Pleyel Piano, there were greatly admired by Mozart. I agree this piano has a most beautiful sound. It is so even across the whole instrument. Of course it is so beautifully played also which does make a difference. Valentina would probably make a bad instrument so good. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to hear a grand Pleyel even once.

    Wow, I came across your recording of the Tempest sonata and was greatly moved by the beauty of the piano and how you so clearly were in partnership with it. I saw that it is a Pleyel, now sadly defunct. Now, I get to hear the story behind you playing it! It delights me how you came upon it after trying Steinways..... The modern piano has become too - as they say - in your face for my taste. Thanks for this! I have a friend near Toulouse who has a 1911 Gaveau upright and I encouraged him to have it restored. The structure and soundboard were still perfect and I am not sure that anything of comparable quality is available now given the lack of quality woods. It is finished and he is delighted, I cannot wait to visit and try it. We named the piano Gertrude, a suitable name for an Edwardian lady of impeccable quality, manners and taste!

  • @IMAWriterRobJ
    @IMAWriterRobJ 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Though this instruments lacks a wee bit of the "jewel-like" timbre of Ms Lisitsa's Imperial, it has another quality quite unlike the usual Steinway. Perhaps it's the acoustics of the room, or as was mentioned the "throw" of the sound farther out, but at times it almost sounds as if octaves and chords are "doubled." Perhaps the way it is tuned? As such, I found myself thinking that even the Rachmaninoff, in TONE sounded a BIT like Chopin. I would imagine the Schumann Fantasiestucke for Piano would sound gloriously immediate, due to the sage of this piano.
    Point of information: many pianos GET BETTER with age, especially Steinways, IF they are properly maintained.
    BTW, it's a WONDERFUL program (if the video reflects that), and I envy all who will have the opportunity to see this program and Ms Lisitsa live.

    I am a guitar player and quickly recognized the Bach Chaconne. I was looking for a Chopin piece played by guitarist Tony McAline when I saw a TH-cam of you playing the same piece. I am now a fan! Saw your Abby Road Piece and will be ordering that for sure you looked like you were having so much fun! One question, you mentioned an older piano- 7 years and it had a dead sound board, some classical guitars take a while to open up, violins ? But do concert pianos get better with age or worse assuming they were built right and with choice woods? I ask because there is a 1957 Bosendorf grand that I can get at a good price!

    Why the Pleyel piano for the concert? Is it because of the softer intonation? A Steinway or a Bösendorfer are much harder in the Modulation.

    Something isn't right in the middle registers. The spruce in the sound board isn't uniform in thickness or wasn't set in right.

    A friends told me about a street piano in a Canadian town, and I referred her to Val's site on TH-cam so she could hear someone playing street pianos. Next thing I know I'm listening to those videos straight through -- they reminded me of the pianos I grew up playing. And the beauty of the music still came through. Val can make even a terrible piano sound good.
    But I hasten to add that this is an excellent piano!

    Valentina, how long did it take you to learn the Bach Chaconne? What do you think of it as a piece of music? How difficult is it to play? I first heard it played on the Classical Guitar about 40 years ago, not nearly as good as the Piano version.

    Pleyel et Cie was a French piano manufacturing firm founded by the composer Ignace Pleyel in 1807. In 1815, Pleyel's son Camille joined him as a business partner. - Wikipedia

    Names for musical performances? They are all a unique being, whose fleeting life ends when the pianist completes the last note. :)

      I love the thundering bass and the bright almost over the top treble of this piano, certainly not the smooth sound of a modern Steinway. The sound is apparent even on a good set of computer speakers. I love all your videos of great pianos... even those on discarded street pianos.

      WJE37FCSM PS... Just listened to your new TH-cam Chaconne on the Steinway and now the Pleyel. The difference in sound is almost shocking, almost like listening to a keyboard tuned to a non-well-tempered system. It promises to make your Gaveau recital exciting.

    Dear valentine, I am very curious to know your comparison comments on Fazioli, Bluethner and Yamaha, the brand that you are not seen playing on. Would you care to comment?

    • @valentinalisitsa1329
      @valentinalisitsa1329 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I learned most of my piano craft on 1909 Bluhtner 7 foot with aliquote strings. perhaps it is nostalgic but nothing I play today ever compares to that instrument. Fazioli? I tried a few and I was impressed by them in a showroom. Once I got to play their instrument in a concert and I was suffering . Hard to judge from a single try - but I see nothing special in terms of sound from them, mechanically they are very good.
      Yamaha - i have 9 foot Yamaha I use to store the things on ;-) Their silent grand system is very very good for studies. I wish I had one in my Paris flat. But nothing beyond that :)

      Yamaha is a piano in the second rank, but it has price going for it, or it did when I bought a C5 20 years ago. It has been excellent mechanically and holds tunes well. And my playing only justifies a "Toyota Corolla."
      Idea: Sell the Yamaha (is this the one with the burn mark?) and have a good cabinet maker build you nice shelving. You should come out thousands ahead. Auction it on eBay and buyers would pay a premium just because it's yours.
