What power in her hands and forearms! Valentina looks like a big girl sitting over that keyboard. I bet she's at least 6 feet tall. And big hands too. Has a little viking blood in her no doubt! ;^}

[ALEXANDER6888]

WoW

[Cihl280777]

@1:20 Ragtime haha.

[duferic]

even without the sound i can feel it! It's a perfect illustration that talent is not only technic but the way you express it... thanks for living your music Valentina!

[dlgrim0621]

Hi Valentina!Tigger is still inYou-but more like El Tigre!You pounced on it in the begining,then went ZOOM.Terrific!I finally got the Charles Ives CD.Nifty!All sorts of nifty things in this!The Red River Valley?Maybe?Got to take some time with this one!You both are so fantistic,with mysteries in this CD.Nifty!I'll see how much I can find.LvU2(cousin to R2D2)Tease little.Lv

[bummy33]

for all the people that say faster isn't better, take caution that people could play this several thousand times worse... imagine if the tempo was so slow that the performance was 15 minutes long.... that being said enjoy her mastery of this piece!

[Noctivagant]

If I ever become a mad scientist I want 1:31-1:43 as my theme

[StealthWarrior23x]

16 idiots now.

[kzelmer]

Faster is not better.

Although Lisitsa's rendition is amazing, I think she can't transmit the feeling of anxiety and darkness of the etude.

[downwest357]

@kzelmer

I disagree strongly. The minor key does almost all of that for you, and her tempo only makes it better. Especially at the part with the accell. after the rit. around 0:29, her quick tempo only adds to the anxiety and darkness, as well as the playfulness and youth of "*Little* Red Riding Hood" herself.

[downwest357]

Edit for clarity: I disagree with "I think she can't transmit the feeling of anxiety and darkness of the etude", not "Faster is not better."

[612curtis]

I just realised, this must have been some task to write on to a score! hahaha

[mfiadeiro]

For me this is THE BEST interpretation of this Etude-Tableau!!

Kudos for Valentina. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

[pianoprodigy987]

[kzelmer]

@douskara I dont thik so... and I hope it.

[hardstarserenity]

I love rachmaninoff but i wish i have big hands.. :< we asians have small hands.

[decepticon792]

@hardstarserenity not me XD

[123eldest]

@thedirtymeatball You just need to unmute the video. Don't mention it!

[satyu131089]

rachmaninoff and his huge leaps! and you do them so beautifully....

[Zyyzzx]

Perfect song for some last minute maths homework!

[emmanuelfm8]

Reaspero como toca esa señora "Click en me Encanta" ^^

[ninjaturtlepoodle]

New favorite composer

[dship98]

Is there an MP3 download available for this? (Amazon.com or iTunes, preferably?)

[ReptilianRaep]

@dship98 Google search youtube to mp3

[EdwardLaiPY]

i can watch her video more than a hours in a time

[anetapazderkova]

si dělá kozy, ne? :D

[TheBalPho]

Looks like she wrotes it, rachmaninov should be proud

[zachattack19942]

Ha ha when I attempt to learn this in my room it sounds like a circus!

[Excrey]

Steinway has the best sound. I would like to hear chopin's etudes performed on Steinway :) (but on Bosendorfer it is still great:)

[quinn244]

@Excrey You do realize that the piano she's playing in this video is a steinway.

[zachattack19942]

This Etude Tableau has always been one of my favorites Valentina, in the future are you going to be doing all of them 1-6?

[DanielAzrad]

@araksetokormisou

No one is an answer to Cziffra.

Not a male, not a female and not a shemale.

[FeeTurbule]

breath taking!

[Aleskull]

grande valentina 

[eLjAyo16]

uhmmmm.......valentina....



[SuperSZ]

She's the 21st century Martha Argerich

[tjtheplay]

You should play Rachmaninoff etude op . 39 no. 5!

[ibclappin]

she played this about six years ago. i was referred to it by john rinehart's son through myspace and glorified it, telling everyone i could've to check it out. she plays it again and it sounds cleaner but less risky. she never played it as fast as rachmaninoff himself but amazing none the less. so this piece was shone in that anti-logical, senseless, societal-destructive movie that i fortunately never watched and never will? rachmaninoff shake in his grave

[Antuantonela]

WHAT A PIECE!! :')

[Felicia3154]

神啊……

[KikeYopo]

Cool :)

[callmemusiclover13me]

thumbs up if you couldn't see valentina's hands and that you could only see the keys moving by themselves. :D

[connorp2402]

yo everyone i just read valentina is doing a concert in london and wanted opinions on what to play.... errrm this piece since its so amazing? i know im not the best judge as i'm only 17 but maybe she could play this? its so jaw droppingly amazing....

[Sugarsaltable]

that looks sore as hell

[jesus10111997]

mix of emotions awesome yet scared by the song itself and the way she plays it the movement of her arms creaped me out

[naberus73]

Valentina sei stupenda e straordinaria...

[davidnelsonweigert]

11 people disliked because it was too good

[Desbiens22]

quadruplets with right hand, is she doing 5-3-2-1 or 5-2-3-1, can anyone tell ? :O

[jobapi01]

@Desbiens22 If you are learning the piece it's better for you to try what's best for your hand. It differs from person to person.

[connorp2402]

@Desbiens22 hey im learning the piece and for me i do 5 3 2 1 for the sake it doesnt confuse me. It's like going in order rather than confusing. Try doing it on the table and you will see what i mean

[Juggafreeze2]

Love it love it love it - 1:05

[thewojtus999]

moje marzenie to grac tak jak ty :D

[PianoAtDusk]

1:08 Valentina: (Dizzy) Faster faster faster!

[zerlinsh]

esto es talento puro!

[PianistRudy]

YOU ARE JUST GENIOUS !!!!

[hotsellita]

I'm in LOVE <3 o___O

[willemvdr12]

Oh my god. Perfect piano, perfect videoquality, perfect pianiste, amazing.

[Agblat]

Clarity, precision, expression, not a theme or note lost, and a clear love for music. Bravo!

[zmatekova]

well this is amazing

[dsyglym]

i love your hand movements, you've got great souple wrists!!

[lagunagreg]

Lisitsa is an extraordinary talent, and she plays this, like most things, with amazing facility. But it's too fast. Half the time I can't hear where the beat is, and it loses shape thereby.

[JamesIsDumbAlot]

@lagunagreg get out of here you pretentious bastard

[arcturian627]

@NevinJarek I can't imagine how this could sound sterile and I haven't had any training in analysis, but I'll give it a shot at trying to put this across from the POV of an amateur. There are two distinct "characters" in this piece, one's light and the other's heavy and threatening, and the piece is about tipping the balance until one wins out. Notice how tension is built and released over and over through the use of seemingly senseless notes, and try to feel the struggle between the characters.

[pirolitosdewhisky]

one day i´ll see you performing live.. when in belgium (antwerp?) or in the netherlands? please respond please please.

[Icarodefrancisco]

AMAZING..............VERY INTERESTING.....

[OoMelodyGirloO]

she is AMAZING and this is great! :) thanks stranger for linking me that :))

[Ingot49]

I just posted my own version of this, its almost same in total time duration but its not sped up and slowed down in the right places

[ZjebGenetyczny91]

I love the way you play, but I must admit, that in this vid at certain moments you look pretty... high. o.0 @langowin Lucius Malfoy? More like Integra Hellsing ;)

[vidcatchacomgoo]

That bitch be creapy

[SuperJewFag]

@vidcatchacomgoo go fuck your self no respect

[Mintcubes]

@vidcatchacomgoo Yeah, go fuck yourself. You really don't know and understand what you're watching.

Btw, learn how to spell 'creepy' correctly, idiot.

[satarsa33]

Valentina, you are one of the few things that make life worth living.

Ciao

Luca

[langowin]

What is Lucius Malfoy doing at a piano?

[PeacefulStrife]

This is absolutely marvelous! I love your interpretation! 

[RenanGarciaMoura]

It's A Bird... It's A Plane... Noo, It's Valentina Lisitsa.

i guess she has 5 SSC Ultimate Aero or Ferraris on each hand... :)

[MrZongora0313]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! no! very very very VERY VERY VERY ... BEAUTIFUL!!! Valentina Lisitsa my favorite!

[diab0lik5]

who thinks Valentina would be interesting to see on Time Warp? :D

[93hail]

Valentina's playing is like wine... the older it gets the better it tastes....

[Tubztele]

Valentina do you do solo piano concerts? If so.. what is your itenerary

[Zerstauber22]

Classic Rachmaninoff. He WOULD write a piece that requires a self-induced seizure of the left hand.

luv u rach !!!111

[malonbu]

@Zerstauber22 Well explained. I was thinking of playing this piece myself before I noticed I had to kill my left arm/hand to do so >_< D:

[gitarrissimus]

Kraftvoll, virtuos, gewaltig!

[petrusmalk]

The perfect composer (Rachmaninoff); The perfect interpreter (Lisitsa); The perfect piano (Steinway D Hamburg). It was terrific.

[ChromiumRX]

Possibly, Valentina Lisitsa's talent with Rachmaninoff's work is an example of modernized and personalized harmony.

[williamsutantotan]

she looks like Claudia Wolf from Silent Hill 3 hahahah :p

[williamsutantotan]

she looks like Claudia Wolf from Silent Hill 3 hahahah :p

[tdepreacher]

@meredith21846 i stumbled across valentina about 3 years ago.. still surprising me

[highorbit]

I love her playing, wonderful.

[chilefex]

awesome



[petrusmalk]

This is the STEINWAY HAMBURG, the best piano of the world.

[cechema]

asco

[waylonzzz]

steinway + 1080p = sex

[petrusmalk]

@waylonzzz Rachmaninof + Lisitsa + Steinway D Hamburg + 1080p = grupal sex.

[artcalight13]

@waylonzzz It's a Bosendorfer piano, yes? Her favourite brand.

[jeef290]

@artcalight13 It says steinway...



[Hobott]

@artcalight13 No, in this case it's Steinway&sons

[Raph2511]

How to read the "Little Red Riding Hood" in 2 minutes.

[diogomorgado]

Girl, you are the best, i aspire to be like you, good at it!

[hassanovitchh]

flawless

[gill254]

Impossible.... is it possible?

[simoniz6]

1:07 - 1:25 I wonder how she's doing o-O

[jauntyjess56]

@simoniz6 running away obviously

[Rmagillicutty]

5321 or 5231 is the big question. Unless she uses 5221 or 5331, which is anatomically impossible for hominidae, thus she being an alien

[TheSammypickle]

0:08 giving it the crazy eyes there

[19Gui86]

how can someone wirte such a piece.. ?

[ttslipknotrulez132]

@19Gui86 agreed rach was such a genious im trying his piano concerto no. 2 have you heard it before

[rodrigomg25]

nobody plays like you valentina

[NevinJarek]

mmm, why do people like rachmaninoff?? Can somebody tell me what it is there to enjoy? Im not taunting or teasing, nor trying to offend, Im genuinely interesting in knowing because this to me sounds incredibly sterile.

[ttslipknotrulez132]

@NevinJarek wow you my friend dont know rachmaninoff his music is the complete opposite i dont like your opinion but it IS your opinion so whatever(but still.....really uh uh

[NevinJarek]

@ttslipknotrulez132 um, I know what my opinion is, and yours , and I dont need to hear "thats your opinion, its not mine". I asked for the nature of your opinion, and why does he sounds the opposite of of sterile.

[MrFortepianist]

Indeed flying hands... Amazing!!

[liamnut1]

finaly ive discoverd someoine who is better than the asians (no racisum ment)

[wjf1950]

The Rach....man is nearly impossible to play......large intervals by both hands. Nicely done Valentina!!

[aimf1998]

[TheThomasbuettner1]

[kostaskoutsodimos]

it just cant be sooo amazing

[lasoes]

espectacular!!!!....felicidade­s!!!!!!!!!



[HeroicEpicnessCalls]

@hwcreatureha It was a joke, but i understand my joke had practically no chance to be understood by anyone here, so it was dumb on my part to do it. The joke is that a lot of youtubers post that kind of comments on videos of people being very very good at video games, telling them to get girlfriends or whatever. I admire Valentina a lot, it was just a bad joke.

[Dark3x]

Coke is a hell of a drug!

[ttslipknotrulez132]

im learning this and i gotta say .......fuckkkkkk is this hard for a 13 yr.old while my technique is perfect for this song, this is hard as hell

[foodmore]

the video isn't complete, there should be a "fuckkkk thats amazing" at the end of the piece.

[HeroicEpicnessCalls]

wow, you have no life valentina, get a girlfriend...

[defenderofthebrave]

@HeroicEpicnessCalls troll

[HeroicEpicnessCalls]

@defenderofthebrave lol, you got the joke right? Just making sure.

[nkesin]

My 3-year old daughter loves this music and she recognizes wolf and the little red hood.

[Ijsklontjeee]

holy...

...shit

[ttslipknotrulez132]

just sitting here eating beef jerky and listening to awesomeness play

[ttslipknotrulez132]

boner

[hongzai1993]

im just wondering why rachmaninov himself could compose such type of music...

[vampiwerbowy]

so beautiful it makes me cry.♥

[patrickpiano27]

I think this is the best interpretation of etude Rach.op39 no.5 , ever.... Her playing is remarkable and stunning... :D
