Valentina Lisitsa plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata Op. 27 No. 2 3rd Movement in C sharp Minor

[mwil3]

Wow.

[Summanininruhuh]

i love niggers!!

[Summanininruhu]

Valentina is one very special human being..

Love her..

[Summanininruhuh]

@Summanininruhu this cHIK SUUUKKS!!

[chistorro12]

This is amazing. But don' you think she goes to quickly from the first 'bang' to the next note? No offense, I hope I could play this piece half as quickly as this incredible performer.

[bafdias]

@chistorro12 Her "tempo" always seems a little faster than most when playing Beethoven. But many great pianists do it (have done it) also. Nevertheless, the clarity of the notes and the expression is magnificent.

[GibsonLesBud]

Best version ever. Not as stiffy as most performances. My Idol!!!

[3droadrunner]

Uaaauu....each hand has a brain...i would gess...amazing!

[RiceWalkTV]

omg she is gonna crazy...

[filipomed]

the best version!! Valentina you rocks

[asdfg295]

That one dislike was an Asian..



[salt580]

@asdfg295 jajajajaajajajajajajajaajaj

[kartofobelachka]

@asdfg295 (rofl)

[quinn244]

I swear shes not human!!!! how is it even possible for her hands to be that agile?! This is amazing!!!

[Ventricle345]

I am just amazed at the technical mastery of the piano one has to possess to even attempt to play this movement. It's awesome.

[vegetto14]

There is something really appealing about the way she looks playing that

[MrLabrant]

Will you marry me? lol

[tab2do]

in the moonlight sonata is such a sentimental experience....the first movement makes you almost cry,the second movement is so happy and the third movement is a wild and strange rage, so powerful and intensive....unbelievable(agai­n and again)

[deliaonline]

Fantastic!

[abc1919]

awwwwwwwwwww love

[Yunnaette]

my heart stopped a bit. Beautiful

[giorgunna]

best



[ThePyroHazard]

wonder how her hands got so fast ;)

[CooCurrent]

This has to be one of my favourite versions, this one and Wilhelm Kempff's

[valizadintren]

she looks and plays so george sand like :-) looove her

[JoshdaROCKSTAR9999VS]

One word describes the whole video: Epic

[AngeloWindblow]

nah... that's just too fast and lack the feeling. Sounds as if I hit the FF button.

She has an incredible technique, though.

[afip4n6doc]

@AngeloWindblow You think this is fast? Search for Glenn Gould's version.

[accelerate29]

Is it me or is there an error at 2:11/2:12?

Either way, she still played this piece brilliantly! :D

[bikerchickrlr]

WOW....I was following the written music and still could not keep up.....BEAUTIFUL!!! Such feeling!!  LOVED THIS!!

[bikerchickrlr]

WOW, following the music and still can't keep up......BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[ArnoGHumal]

In my opinion Wilhelm Kempff's performance is far better.

[plzhealme]

@ArnoGHumal Really? How?

[blasphemyreborn]

@ArnoGHumal realy? to each his own i used to think that his was better but ive listened to them both so much that well ive decided on this one haha

[ArnoGHumal]

@blasphemyreborn I don't say that this one is bad. In this one you can hear the fury of not getting married to the girl he wrote it for but Kempff puts 101 % of his soul to it and in his playing you can hear the fury and the sadness.

[henryamadorguillen]

Valentina ... married me ...

[deepbluesky79]

I can find anything to say.. amazing..

[tunglour]

I like it more than all the others I've listened to :)

[monobrow638]

IT'S ELLIE DRIVER!

[pucku93]

@monobrow638 OMG ur right!

[cockstem]

WOW thats incredible....rrrrrrrr

[MusicClassical1]

@CoraBennett1 How i get this as an mp3 is I save the video(using keepvid or savetube) to my computer. Then i put it into my itunes and burn it onto a blank CD. It then comes out as an Mp3 file! :) Hope this helped

[MrMatthewContreras]

Great piece, great performance, although i like dupravka tomsik's style better, still fantastic.

[Haydenbrooks83]

Amazing.

[HouseWhereMusicLives]

This woman is channeling Beethoven. I've never heard anyone play this sonata better.  Miraculous.

[chickensk]

who said I don't appreciate her talent? i only appreciate yundi li's talent much more..

[Mindofxplus]

i would like to see you play this with more feeling than she does!! :L

[chickensk]

I dont say i could play it anyway better. i say that Yundi Li playes is with more feeling and so much ear friendly than her.

[Mindofxplus]

well...let me see...FANTASTIC...omg you are like my IDOL....you have inspired me to play so much that I have persuaded my Dad to buy me a piano so I can start practicing immediately. Let me just give you 5 stars (although this is worth about 10!!)...subscribe to you...and add you to my favourites...i think I have watched this about 20 times LOL. :D

[linezero3]

@Mindofxplus She's a genius... and I MEAN IT!!!!

[Mindofxplus]

Init...at least WE appreciate here talent unlike some people...(chickensk)

[chickensk]

accurat playing, but where are the feelings ? just sounds like it play woman. not any offence.

[linezero3]

Isnt it enuff tht she play's it byheart? No music sheet bcuz she is passionate about this piece? Believe me (and us the comments) she is full of feelings wih this one :P

[KKph33rKK]

@linezero3

A 14-year old can play this by heart, just saying...

[linezero3]

@KKph33rKK then u must be 14

[KKph33rKK]

@linezero3

How did you know? :)

[linezero3]

@KKph33rKK lol u said so :D

[misstomatomama]

Beethoven did mark this movement "presto agitato" - very fast and agitated. In my opinion, Valentina plays this exactly the way the master would have played it and wanted it played. Brilliant performance. BRAVO! I can't get enough of this pianist!

[deerodchan]

its valentina listsa, shes notorious for speed. check out her La Campanella sure is hella fast.

i like horowitz or murray perahia's version.

[StAmirthegreat]

If you want to hear a fast version listen to horowitz

[StAmirthegreat]

It's not the fastest but she plays it very well. Outstanding in fact. One of my new favorites...maybe she could slow it down a little bit

[rolandjosef]

fastest version i think.
