lmfao. I agree absolutely!

In case anyone isn't familiar with the repertoire - this is a piece which normally requires at least a 40-piece orchestra. She's playing it on one harp. There is very little missing, she's making it work musically, and she's playing it with tremendous sensitivity. What she's doing here is almost impossible.

Yes! Most soloists will memorize their pieces. Generally we practice to the point that we don't have to think about the ink on the page itself, just the physical sensations involved with making that ink the best it can be. The cliche is to practice until you cannot get it wrong, and especially with very difficult pieces, it often takes that much practicing to feel confident to play a piece for a recital, at which point you basically have it memorized. Memorizing the piece also means you're not looking at the page, you're looking at the musicians you're playing with or your accompanist or conductor to ensure good communication and very precise timing. If you watch a really great concert soloist, they'll rarely have music in front of them, they'll be most frequently making eyes or gestures at the conductor so the conductor can keep the orchestra in check to perfectly accompany the soloist.

@@discogoth Yep.. For most musicians playing a difficult piece like this, you can't help but memorize it while practicing. And with harp, there's a lot to work out ahead of time with the fingering and pedaling, so you can't much read the notes right off the page anyway. But some like to have the music in front of them because they're used to that in practice. Music is also good when your mind momentarily goes blank in a live performance, which is the most likely time for that! That being said simpler music can be playable off the shelf without having played it in a long time, or ever.

I think this is one of the best (if not the best) feedbacks/compliments a musician can get. Mainly musicians spend way too many hours studying alone at home and sometimes this lonely practice can bring a sense of detachment of the rest of the world and maybe even a little loss of point in all of that practice.

As a native Czech, I like Vltava and it is emotional for me to hear it being played by such a beautiful instrument as the harp. Bravo Valérie! It is beautiful, perfect, admirable and immensely difficult.👏👏

What I love the most about really advanced musicians, is their expression as the piece they're playing unfolds. Some musicians are overly expressive for the sake of showing off, but the ones who are humble in their performance produce the most authentic and honest responses. When Valérie faintly furrows her brow when the piece becomes dark and intense, or smiles ever so slightly when it switches to light and dainty major, I just fall that much more in love with the music. It's like when a narrator reacts to a story as they tell it, and it makes it so much more immersive.

Today, I randomly chose this harp piece, and "eureka!" ☺ One of my favorite days in childhood was a spring morning in my front yard. It had rained a great deal lately, and the creek was overflowing.

I got to know her family very well. I first met her father when we were about 5 or 6 years old. I'm retired now, but I got to know the whole family, they were from Sherbrooke, in the province of Quebec, Canada. Her father had 9 siblings. She went to Europe many years ago and won 1st prize among all harpists and she also won 1st prize in New York thereafter. I heard her at her very beginning at a concert held in a Church in Montreal, Canada. What's mot interesting about her family is that her dad became an orthopaedic surgeon and of course had the money to buy a grand piano for his 2 daughters. Valerie has a sister, Elise, who was playing the piano. Valerie started piano lessons and wasn't very thrilled with the piano. So one day her dad had her listen to some classical music - could have been a concerto with an orchestra and the harp, I didn't get this straighten out ever. She fell in love with the sound of the harp and then she started harp lessons and the rest is history...

Something I discovered when performing is that when you play from memory with confidence, you begin to project. The interpretation begins to flow from the heart. This, I believe, is what I witnessed in your performance; thank you!

While listening I forgot my coffee and got cold....but instead my soul woke up after this extremely peaceful play!! Heaven is real...

Bedřich Smetana was one of my favorite composers of my country both like for example Leoš Janáček, Josef Mysliveček, Antonín Dvořák or Leopold Koželuh and of course František Škroup because with my humble opinion our anthem is beautiful.

Unbelievable! The Moldau is my favorite composition ever and to hear so much music come out of one instrument is just beyond comprehension.

Sometimes on our stay on earth one comes across a paradise of solitude,peace and heavenly music, played by an angel....now when I came across Valerie Milot playing "Moldau" on the magical harp...I came across such a paradise and i touched heaven !

The piece was my introduction to tone painting and though I didn't know that term at the time, as a teenager I found I could close my eyes and somehow picture the flow of the The Moldau as it wound its way through the Czech countryside, widening, narrowing, speeding up, or slowing down to burble past farms, castles, villages. Valérie Milot captures all this beautifully.

Quelle maitrise du jeu , cela me procure un bien être comme garanti d'avance, l'humble et travailleuse Valérie Milot franchi des sommets de musicalité avec ce pur chef d'oeuvre qu'est la Moldau de Smetana, c'est une totale redécouverte fraîche , créatrice , qui dépayse et de façon presque magique elle sort de son coeur de harpiste des ornements qui font rêver ....
