[giangiman]

Ciao Valentina,I've heard that you are playing Mozart concerto in Palermo!

That's great,waiting for it,

Gianluca Imperato

[clocklvr]

beautiful and love to watch you play.

[Gibson0918]

I've watched so many of your videos in awe. Thank you so much for sharing the music! Franz Liszt is by far my favorite composer and it's great to hear such wonderful interpretations. 

[AA19752012]

The concert hall is the main problem with the sound not the orchestra. This is in a theater not a symphonic hall.

[ShuToniDj]

valentina es la mejor

[TheCriticPiano]

Valentina, Ви втілення красивої гри. Я очікую, велич тільки від вас. Але іноді бути обережним для не переграють (попадання чуть чуть на жорсткий.) Але повірте мені, це була чудова! Я любила його. Але тим не менш, відмінно. Вся моя родина тулиться навколо мого ноутбука, коли я граю у вашому Ліста або ваш Рахманінова 2

[nevertheless123]

octaves galore !



[krisevan1]

tuuun turun tun tuntuntuuuun TARAAAA

[alekzlenz]

[MrFortepianist]

The best perfomance of this concert on You Tube! My perfomance model)

[Gargantupimp]

What is better? This Liszt concerto or Brahms concerto 2?

[superstarprincess63]

You are an amazing pianist Valentina! Your technique is flawless. Love it!! :)

[ppaolo2000]

happy new year valentina..... an italian piano music's lover

[WitoldBanasik]

Wonderful interpretation. I wish you had taken part in the Chopin Piano Competition this year. Wumder, Avdeeva and Trifonov would have been in trouble. Well, by the way do like romantic lyrical music by Chopin, and his masterpieces like Mazurkas and Polonaises, and his famous rubbato ?

[luigifla]

Valentina. You're amazing. This is one of my favorite concertos and you do a hell of a job! Spasiba.

[edwardpiercy]

@ Haerodthegreat. The movement is marked Allegro maestoso, not Allegro furioso. I think this Mvt. 1 is very majestic indeed.

[bluedutch01]

Valentina:

You bless this world more than you ever know!! Thank God for you!

[hybridmcgee]

Hows come you never hit up the harpsichord?

[JustynaPhilipp]

Bravi !

[aden0724]

Hey. Is this the same dress you wore at the concert in Seoul?

[MrRatchakay]

@aden0724 isn't the concert in seoul?

[thefanclubmom]

i wish i could play like that

[azertya1234]

Valentina, please come in the Roque d'Anthéron's festival. It will be great to see you....

Immense talent...

[LolavonLandsfeld]

Valentina, Liszt would love you!! You rock girl!

[migas28]

I simply love this interpretation! what a great, GREAT pianist valentina is, and how lucky are we that we have her performing such an amazing piece!

[GianniBarbarona]

what prestigious piano competitions has she won?

[gouloum2222]

@GianniBarbarona murray dranoff 

[lovycat29]

it's adorable how you 'seem' (cuz im not sure what you really did :) ) to shrug your shoulders to indicate that you're ready. ^^

[philiphotchkiss]

You are awesome. And I love the live practice broadcast you've opened for the week via Ustream.tv - you are a great musician and digital innovator.

It's caused me to start shopping for your recordings to buy on Amazon.com and other outlets.

You are truly a special artist.

[fsxraptor]

I dont hope for that much but could you tour at greece?

:P

[Aleskies]

Could you possibly come do a concert in Australia NSW =] Ill go for sure =D

[strictlymoulds]

@Aleskies I second that motion, please come to Victoria Melbourne. It would be an honor to listen to you play live, something I would never forget. Such beautiful expression in your playing along with technique.

[MrMozartman]

Génial et magnifique

Genial and magnific

[lovesGenet]

I think she has advertised well. Many here and elsewhere know of you.Years ago I purchased her Chopin etudes .The problem is there are so many excellent pianists now & a public that can't tell the difference between music making and someone well trained . So it takes cheap antics, radio, well composed crossover music or new anti-style modes of playing might work. We have all heard this music countless times . Whoever comes up with a new way will be heard.

[macapacka]

Would you ever tour the UK?

If you have already, would you ever do it again?

[Voime09]

Great Valentina!! In my next life i will play like you :)

[VideosAlcides]

Valentina, bela e poderosa!

Suas interpretações sempre são experiências estéticas únicas!

Brava!

[amos1934]

Very good.

Amos

[bither26]

you're amazing :]

[gnimez]

nice red dress!

[gnimez]

nice red dress!

[liebestraumer]

Liszt is the best for ever. And Arrau oh my good hear that beautiful sound, in his piano.

[mansell3454]

Brilliant Tecnique!!!!!!!!!! Amazing... but i recomend this concerto by Arrau!!!! Its .......

[ragplayer1]

Excellent. Thank you for downloading.

[femaleforester]

*sigh* how can anyone be so good and be NOT on a major label.. I will never understand.

I'm watching your videos so often and don't get tired of it. flawless and amazing. keep going.

[jarvenderolivaw]

admiro tu talento ya la belleza que desencadena el ecucharte, gracias...

[YouthOpera]

magnificent !!!!!

[78625amginE]

Not sure I'm a fan of the conductor...

[huyt8]

Wonderful...

[darnmat]

A snythesis of technical and poetic performance... The has fully discovered the musical intentions of this piece... Brava!

[RichardBellak]

I think that this is a very fine performance of this work. Brilliance and drama are not unusual attributes in performances of this music, but integrating those aspects with Liszt's melodic content this well is unusual. That's one reason this is such a satisfying presentation of this composition..

[Haeronthegreat]

I'm sorry, but this is a first movement? The opening string phrase sounds like a funeral dirge. Listen to Berezovsky or Argerich for a really energetic interpretation.

[ValentinaLisitsa]

Berezovsky or Argerich are string players? ...

[cjamesackley]

lol

[bomberchicken]

@ValentinaLisitsa

OOOOooooOOOOO! burn! that was good lol!

COME TO IRELAND!!!!!!!!! PLEASE WE LOVE YOU :P I'll get you invited son't worry!

[hector67000]

@ValentinaLisitsa : I hope that it is a joke and that you 've really got what Haeronthegreat meant

[th3wing3dpaint3r]

@hector67000 Well, technically, the strings aren't really her responsibility. So advising people to listen to other pianists because the strings aren't the best doesn't really make sense. Except that one evaluates the performance as a whole. The pianist is one unit with the orchestra. And naming orchestras instead of pianists would confuse ppl.

[moveyourface]

@Haeronthegreat

can you play this???

wow!! let me hear you if you are better!

[magoconejo]

@Haeronthegreat

no, I'd really like to hear you.. if you can play instead of talk, of course..

[worf1400]

Wow!

One of the most Enjoyable and Expressive Liszt #1 performance.

Fire and Poetry where needed...Valentina, you truyl have the romantic performance rhetoric down!

Thank You!

I know you will get far...your performaces get better and better each year. :)

[iLoveChopin]

was this played at seoul?

[costellopianist]

hey man i love liszt

[dasisters2]

Could you put the name of the orchestra and the conductor? Anyway congratulations, it s gorgeous!

[PhilPhilUSA]

This stunning performance coupling power and poetry as it does...makes Liszt afficionados glaze over with admiration

for your full out, dramatic, playing! I imagine Der Meister himself might have sounded something like this. Your confidence enables such great playing, let us say, 'in the grand manner.' I have been profoundly moved by all this.

Thank you! Please remain unmovable in your convictions.

[ValentinaFan]

sll10 & such comments re Valentina on a major label are quite right - 2 years ago I assumed she was - nobody could play like her and not be ?! The major labels are missing a great opportunity here. Please do listen to the tracks on her Myspace player - you won't believe them - eg. the Weber Rondo Brilliante, or the RossiniGinzburg Aria - unbelievable, impossible !!

[concerto35]

I like this performance. A perfectly balanced and thoughtout rendition.

[Ellinidara]

Perfect,goddes

[musicalgarden]

Lovely legato sections and the intellectual force behind the opening is amazing. A real sense of oneness with some of the orchestral solos. A perfect Liszt concerto! Thank you for sharing this performance.

[givemetime123]

Bravo, quelle classe et quelle élégance....et joli "touché"...

[sll10]

Valenina you should have a contract with DGG DECCA OR EMI OR RCA! YOU SHOULD BE ON A MAJOR LABEL! YOu're FANTASTIC!!

[ValentinaLisitsa]

Can you pleeeze tell it to them directly???? They are not listening to me for sure - not even on YouTube :-)

Maybe I should start my own label and simply call it "Major". Then if asked who do I record for - I can simply state : for a "Major" label :-)

[sll10]

I would Valentina, if I had any pull with them, believe me! I have a feeling, they WILL notice you eventually. Have patience and persistence (like I need to tell you that)!

You're fantastic! Everything I've heard and seen you play has been tremendous. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!

[xujia1001]

I am sure you have already had all the notice possible from those companies. But, is your old company ready to let you go?

[xujia1001]

I don't if the post I added just now will eventually show up. I apologise if this comment is redundant. If you are still under contract, your old company might not let you go so easily, as your ascension and reputation are rising so fast. Dear artist Valentina, your time will come, personally, I it already has:-)

[Tolstoy111]

Doesn't Hilary Hahn have any pull with DG? :)

You have technique and stage presence that puts most other pianists of your generation to shame. Oh but wait you don't make tortured faces when you play and do amateur stand up comedy like Lang Lang. That must be it.

Seriously though, it's ridiculous that you aren't on one of those labels. Happy New Year!

[Hervinbalfour]

In all honesty you should start your own private label and recruit other passionate talented artists. Take a lesson from the hip hop genre where artist take their financial destiny into their own hands. Keep all your royalties for yourself. You are the reason i returned back to playing the piano after having studied for over 14 years. I have not played in over 15 years and I admire your talent. You are so inspirational!

[123mortimer456]

Valentina - I just heard you in Chicago with Hahn. You guys are clearly at the same level. So why is she with DG and you're not? Who knows? But remember this: it took Nathan Milstein 30 years to become NATHAN MILSTEIN. For many years he was "just" a superlative, totally honest, transcendentally gifted violinist - but not considered at the level of Heifetz or Kreisler. But he was ultimately recognized as one of the all-time greatest. I have no doubt that you will be, too. Hang in there!

[z1Amii]

@ValentinaLisitsa Love your humor and feel your frustration. Know that those who DO listen to you on YouTube love you... we should start a YouTube campaign to get you your major label... 

[monobrow638]

@ValentinaLisitsa Give me their numbers, and I shall.

[satyu131089]

@ValentinaLisitsa your sense of humour is as good as your piano technique is :)

[ValentinaLisitsa]

No.

V

[mayablanca]

Wow! Amazing!!

[ValentinaFan]

Valentina, you & Liszt seem almost synonymous ! Amazing ... this is a piece I very much like hence to have it magnificently represented by the great Valentina is of course the best I can hope for :)

[italco312]

Awesome. You are an inspiration.

-Valentino

[jpmerindol]

Enfin une nouvelle video !!!! Merci à toi.

[briarcliffbaron]

wow . . . .stage looks a little like "tight company" there !! Red dress is a knockout !!

[kemorex]
