Beethoven would have asked "How much 'schleppend' you want to have? This is an interpretation of our time and there is nothing wrong with it. Don't forget a slower tempo requires a more velvet sound of the orchestra.
Besides I appreciate her intentions to perform for a broader audience(thru internet) like Richter did visiting small villages(CCCP) to give life performances.
I'm getting the feeling she had too little time to study this properly. The tempos are fast and hasty and she misses too many notes for her level of playing. Critical as this may sound I'm still a big fan! And I play the piano too, for approx. 38 years..
So beautiful, so moving. Cannot imagine that there exists another human being who could give this piece the magnificent life that Valentina breathes into it.
This music is so touching, after listening to something like this one could only draw the conclusion that Beethoven must have been such a kind caring soul.
QUE PERFECCIÓN LA DE VALENTINA LISITSA, EXIMIA INTERPRETE, INTERPRETA EN EL PIANO CON UNA TECNICA DEPURADA Y UNA FACILIDAD INCRIBLE, ME APASIONO EN TODO EL SENTIDO DE LA PALABRA.
Das ist ein gutes Beispiel, wie der Mittelsatz des Es-Dur- Klavierkonzerts nicht gespielt werden darf. Das Tempo ist einfach zu schnell. Der Rest geht automatisch in die falsche Richtung.
Cada que oigo a Valentina quedo más convencido de que estoy ante la mayor pianista de la historia. Además ejecutando mi concierto favorito de Beethoven. Gracias Divina Valentina.
Dieses ein wenig bewegte Adagio ist von einzigartiger Schönheit und Anmut und es kann nicht anders als mit ungeheurer Leidenschaft und tiefer Liebe komponiert worden sein. Hier, wie im ganzen Konzert, zeigt sich, dass sein Schöpfer nicht um die Komposition ringen mußte, sondern dass sie ihm zufloß, wie demjenigen, der den Schlüssel zur Welt der Harmonien in den Händen hält.
Und aus der Ferne der Gott schaut gütig auf eine Seele voller Liebe und Leid.
Admirable! I bow to you, Valentina. Usually, I admire male pianists, but you play with such power that is hard not to fall under your spell. You have a new admirer, Valentina! Thumbs up! Too bad the video was cut in my very favorite part.
delicatissima, è anche molto bello guardare i suoi movimenti e la postura delle mani, se non andasse di fretta sarebbe il punto zero dell'arte del suonare il pianoforte.
Valentina, you are good and I'm talking GOOD., I hope from the bottom of my heart your career is skyrocketing. I hope to see you live in San Fransisco some time. I will keep an eye for this. I love your technique, it's been a long time since I have heard somebody as good as you are. Once again congratulations.
I fell in love with all this classical music as a child, and continue to play today. The snottiness however of part of the classical community is disgusting to me and totally turns me off. Just appreciate that she is amazing and get off your high horse. I want to see you do it.
Are we not allowed to have preferences? hotuser did say "in my opinion." did he/she not? I prefer Ashkenazy over Rubinstein and I prefer Ashkenazy over Lisitsa personally. Nothing against her at all. I think that you are misinterpreting his comment. All of these musicians operate at such a high level that it's really a matter of personal preference.
Wonderful transition into the finale. I have always struggled to come to terms with the 3rd movement theme but the way it bursts from the transition makes it make sense. Thank you so much for this performance.
Somebody pretending to be me goes around leaving nasty comments on YouTube. The impersonator's user name is VaIentinaLisitsa - the letter "L" is replaced by capital "i".
If you see this person's comments on other people pages - please let me know . I am trying to stop it and already complained to YouTube . This person is disgusting !!!
@ValentinaLisitsa i never came accross your impersonator yet, but i'll let you know...in any case, r you the really VL? I find it hard to believed that you would be putting comments on yt...interesting...i would think you have better things to do than the rest of us losers.
@ValentinaLisitsa I hope you finally discovered the naughty impersonator. Such behaviour is really shocking! Anyway, I hope you keep enchanting us for a very very long time.

@ValentinaLisitsa To think some childish jealous weirdo would stoop so low into stupidty is beyond pathetic, hopefully that problem has been resolved.
I have to say that as wonderful as Valentina is, I actually REALLY enjoyed watching the timpani player get into the music. Brava!
