Valentina Lisitsa plays 'Träumerei' from Schumann's 'Kinderszenen'

[aomf58]

Can't stop watching Valentina's playing.

Sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL!!!! I am so glad that Valentina does not ignore the most simple musical compositions as many times they are the greatest pieces of music ever written for piano or any instrument.

Oh Valentina, why are you the only artist that when you play you make me cry. You have a gift from heaven.

[jameschar24]

If ever you want to see an artist totally immersed in her craft, this is it. Beautiful interpretation of this piece.

[UrbanJohnni]

SHE IS BRILLIANT!

[EvgenyPenchev]

Many of the comments state that this is an uncomplicated or easy piece but I, being a pianist for some time can say that this is one of the most difficult ones by Schumann since a marvelous performance is so hard to be achieved. It's a phrase that expresses both love and tranquillity and the interpretation of Valentina Lisitsa is a one of a kind.

Anyway, COOOOOOOOOOL!

This playing was very light and fluffy :)

[aomf58]

@Vije4ka Собственно что плохо с точки зрения представителя настоящей московской школы, позвольте узнать.

I think I just witnessed something special ??

Hendrix had his guitar ...

Armstrong had his trumpet ...

Valentina has her piano ......

The passion she shows for the piece is out of this world .....a superb portrayal .....

[itisjinzo]

That was very beautiful. :) I'm gonna learn that piece.

[Elcomunisto]

Excelente técnica y muy expresivo :)

[lastnaturemistake]

delicate and tender performance on this piece...

even too delicate!!

[MySweetSelf]

She plays piano like a ballerina dances. Graceful, elegant, beautiful.

[moonpagan]

That is what I would call a true Mastery of piano dynamics. Exquisitely beautiful, Valentina. :)

Until now I felt that Horowitz´s interpretation of this piece, was the most incredible and beautiful one. I understand that it´s really awful to compare the great Masters. Anyway I need to say that Lisitsa played Träumerei in such a flawless, beautiful, colourful and perfect way, that I simply can´t believe what I´m hearing.

Thank you for sharing this jewel.

[gouloum2222]

@guweck horowitz not a great master ?

[guweck]

@gouloum2222

What? Horowitz is THE great Master!!!

I just wanted to say in my bad english, that I don´t like to compare one great master with other great masters. It would be unfair, just because my lack of musical authority to to it.

[KVDiveyev]

скучно.

[NuovoCurioso]

Perfetto!!!

[pianodog81]

That fade out at the end of the piece to perfect silence.. she can make a piano do what no other pianist can.

[Jesslyncool]

worth for wacth

[musiqmarquis]

I just read the full description. It's a Steinway, nevermind.

[musiqmarquis]

What kind of a piano is she playing on, can you tell me?

[GlimpseInTheLife]

a bosendorfer, she always plays bosendorfers

[dfretless]

Valentina plays this uncomplicated composition so beautifully. She can also thunder out superb and detailed virtuosity over a full orchestra; superb musical mastery.

Very much like the last few seconds where we get to see her shy and very honest character. What a wonderful artist!

[limunzut]

very nice indeed!

Her surname Lisitsa means 'a fox' in Serbian (=Лисица) :-D

[brychar66]

Very dreamlike, and what extremely expressive hands. A delightful lady & pianist!
