Not saying this performance wasn't good, btw. On the contrary, it's easily one of the best performances I've ever seen among pieces with few arrangements.

Kater touche - you`re so quite right! Bravo! Hypothetical dialogue between Valentina Lisitsa and Ferenc 'Franz' Liszt : "Valentina - May I interpret you with full bravure and dense, absolute emotion, where will I dare to go beyond to exploring the extreme limits of human psycho-physical possibilities? Liszt - Yes I approve and want really this - go my dear lady and do your best. I will be with you! I think that you are exactly THE CHOSEN ONE for this. One day the best minds of future mankind will understand how much ahead my time I was. Pay close and,full attention also to Charlie Albright and Yan Ayrton.

What the hell does that joke have to do with Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 ???? That's why I intentionally left off any reference to "Rhapsody Rabbit". But if you feel the need to tear a joke to pieces just to pretentiously show what a smartass you are, that Bugs was playing an "easier" piece in "Rhapsody Rabbit", I'm glad you had fun, although it's too bad you didn't get the joke. You're supposed to LAUGH at a good joke, not pick it to pieces. Bugs was also playing a cartoon abbreviated version of the Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 . Would you like to pick that apart, too ? Bugs can't wait to give you a piece of his mind on that ! BTW, it's interesting that you think Hungarian Rhapsody No 2 is so easy that you can joke about it.

What most people think is that she is an outstanding pianist. She is far more than that. Compare her interpretations with those of anyone else, and you begin to realize that she is first and foremost one of the greatest musicians of all time. However, we would not know that if she weren't a completely polished performer, able to convey these interpretations. So consider yourself very fortunate to be living in the same era as Valentina. And I am certain that she is driven so hard to play pieces, such as this one, so that she can convey her interpretations to the public. She feels a great need to do so. And we should be grateful for that. Let's enjoy the accomplishments of this living legend and not be distracted by the comments of her jealous detractors.

@MrKKilroy

I believe, if we are going to praise anyone for being alive and a legend, it should be now 75 year old Martha Argerich. She had arguably the best technique in her prime, and could play things like this close to twice as fast as Valentina, and not only could she play faster and correctly in everything she did, she also managed to convey the most amazing lyricism and feeling in her music. She is a true legend, and definitely one of the best musicians to have ever lived. I feel that Valentina can only aspire to reach what Martha reached when she 40 years old, bearing with technicality and emotion. Don't get me wrong, I love Valentina and hearing her play, so i'm not biased in anyway. I just feel compelled to actually stand up for one of the true greatest of all time. Have a good day.

@RedCello1912

7 жыл бұрын

This business about one musician playing faster than another has no place in such a discussion. Both pianists have learned their technique to the point that it isn't a consideration in their performing. That's all that counts on this point. Now it might be interesting to note that more than one respected critic has said that Valentina has the lyricism of Martha Argerich combined with the power of Wilhelm Backhaus. I think this appropriate description does all three of them justice. There are other truly outstanding pianists, so not mentioning them all does not do a disservice to any one of them. However, Valentina following an active career today, should be recognized for her beautiful accomplishments without prejudice. She is a true gem.

What Valentina Lisitsa has done here is introduced a new kind of music, long forgotten; the bravura Liszt. As a young man Liszt made a lot of transcriptions of opera tunes that have the reputation of being more technically demanding than even the hardest of his Transcendental Etudes (though bear in mind that the Transcendental Etudes had an earlier version, the Douze Grandes Etudes, with added notes for larger stretches) - this was Liszt being a showman and introducing radical developments in pianoforte technique. He was basically exploiting the fullest possibilities of the piano, for at that time the piano was beginning to be taken as a serious concert solo instrument. So what's interesting is how a new avenue of music is opened up by this act. We usually hear of his Sonata in b minor, Transcendental etudes, Piano Concerti, and the like, but not often his terrifyingly stunt-laden early music like the transcriptions of Don Juan, Norma, and this one. It takes a concert pianist of particular reknown to re-popularise a "neglected" period or style of music, and I am glad for it!

BRAVO! Franz Liszt, the gymnast of the piano!! Valentina Lisitsa, the pianist who matches move and tone with grace and power! Exciting!

This is a bit like watching musical tai chi: her fluid action is almost as beautiful to watch as the sounds she makes are to hear. No wonder Valentina's a hit on You Tube, she's mesmerising, even with the sound off - and with it on - WOW!

9:00-9:40 is the most moving part of this piece. I can always find hope, peace and love here

Incredible!!!!!! I love Liszt and Valentina Lisitsa

I love the way the ceiling is reflected in the piano, very nice visual to go along with this amazing piece of music.

This is so inspiring. Also, all hail the Patron Saint of Classical Piano, Valentina Lisitsa.

"This is perhaps the MOST unplayable piece of music I ever encountered!" she says right before she nails it!

It boggles my mind that Valentina Lisitsa can make such a mindblowingly difficult Liszt work seem so simple to play. Her body shows absolutely no sign of any tension. 🤤 She is stratospherically good. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 I am completely flabbergasted. 😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨

I love that you just know the whole thing by heart! x)

Do you do Q&A's sometimes ? It would be amazing to ask some interesting questions. You're by far the most "reachable" top notch pianist and it shows well how you don't let anyone determine how you should be in this classical music world full of rules and expectations. Very enjoyable

Damn not even took my first cofee and i've teary eyes. The passion and dedication Valentina gives us is truly something to have gratitude for. She's something else, thank you for giving us so much of yourself.

No me canso de ver este video, que interpretación !!!

goodness. that is a wonderfully elaborate piece. I thought their were a few lead links that could have done with being a little longer. it seemed to cut to the next resolvance a little early, but it is obviously playable, and listenable too. wonderful. i thought the andante pace could have been slowed to an adagio. but who am I anyway. wonderful and filled with applause at hearing such work. thank you.

Wow. Stunning.

I'm never tired of watching this. One day I'm sure going to be able to play this (when I die and born again as virtuoso pianist) :)

Fantastic. A milestone in recording history. Congratulations.

Wonderfull ! So many themes.\thx again for sharing.Nice video too.
