One of my favorite things about Liszt is that in many of his pieces he transforms the sound of the piano into that of a harp. You do a phenomenal job of capturing that spirit. Bravo.
I've only got one complaint: there aren't enough hi-res, formal recordings of Valentina's performances. I have ALL her DVDs from Amazon, but I'd like to see many times more ! I'd book mine if I just knew they were to become available ... talk about "Desert Island Discs" - one pianist that is an automatic must have :)
I love you, you wonderfully haunted and stunningly sublime woman. Your talent is defined by zillions of hours of love for music, emotion and perfection.
Your trill makes me weep.
I have seen you many times in Florida and now that I am in Paris, I am praying that I will blessed to see you again.
Pianista maravilhosa !!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how she jumps a little as she plays the last chord.

Hmm ... was that a (probably accidental) quotation from Beethoven's fifth at @7:30?

More energetic than Valentina Lisitsa? I find that impossible to believe!
Any more energy and the piano would explode into a million toothpicks!
Here she really gives the orchestra a run for their money.

Can you imagine sitting 4th row center listening to Valentina play this? They'd have to carry me out on a stretcher, I know they would. :)

Shew-whee! She can sure play the heck out of the piano! I'd definitely say she has all the technique and exuberance Argerich possesses.

Are as sure now as you were then? Because Zimerman's rendition is unprecedented, without question.
