rachy project

[MegaTomco]

Hi valentina :) could you send me some link where can I buy your CD of rachmaninoff concertos :) thank u. :)

[zachattack19942]

This is totally random but when you recorded "Carmen Variations", was that in the beggining of your career? Sorry for the randomness just wondering. Absolutely enjoy your playing!

[Vesivian]

Are your CD's selling in malaysia? If not can we order it via internet?

[mastroclar]

MOSTRUOSA!

[4c00h]

Thank you for playing Rachmaninoff so well :D

[Crodajudile]

I'm absolutely in love with this video especially at 0.34 .. i would do exactly the same , i love her!

[lotuZnew]

Wonderful !

Hope to see more of those kind of clips .

[kingjepoy]

When will we see you play Rach3? I'm so excited!

[mitchellecumstien]

Dear Valentina,

The only thing that might exceed your technical brilliance is the love and enthusiasm you have for the music you play. It is fun to watch you work with the orchestra. I hope these "Rachy" sessions will be released on DVD. Any word on that or and updated release date? TY Valentina.

[rebeccaannb1]

Is it me or did she all of a sudden have longer hair at 1:04, then to loose it again at 1:08?

Sorry I think it is kinda funny ;)

I absolutely love Valentina's playing. As you can see she enjoys herself when playing the piano....and it's contagious!! :)

[kunleodebode]

@rebeccaannb1

Thanks for pointing this out.Most amusing. What you see is definitly not what you hear !

[OceanbornSWT]

Going to be CD or DVD Tthe Rach Project?

[m4xg]

You are so lucky - playing all rachmaninov piano concertos with a great orchestra, that's one of my dreams in life and few are talented enough to have the priviledge. Looking forward to buy the CD !

[nb971127]

u sound like u r having fun

[brtsab]

Eres inmensa, genio. No hay palabras para calificar tu grandeza. Dios te guarde Valentina !!!

[Laudan08]

being sincere i don't like the first minute, excepting the first 9 seconds, but i can't stop hearing this.

[arcturian627]

Though it was a fragment, that was very awesome! I was just looking at Rachy's piano concerto 1 mvmt 3 with my teacher the other day, and we were both talking about how the piece is, basically, freakin' godly difficult. But Lisitsa here makes it look so effortless! Bravo!! :D

[garrettburnett]

Whatever cameras were used, I want one. That looks so fun for every one.

[apathetikk]

you're my hero xD !

[kirillkorsunenko]

It's a very interesting performance

[neroblu232]

Valentina spero tu non sia gia' sposata perche' sto venendo a prenderti. Complimenti dall Italia. Sei meravigliosa. Le tue mani sulla tastiera sono un emozione. Un bacio..

[Ellinidara]

[ValentinaLisitsa]

About recording all Rachmaninoff' Concerti with the LSO

V

[Tolstoy111]

When will this be released? By the way Happy Birthday!

[Laudan08]

LSO?

[mozart888]

London Symphony Orchestra

[712Stephen]

@ValentinaLisitsa Including the "5th"?

[OvidiuDanut7]

Its absolutly inspiring to see such an artist rejoicing like a child in the music she plays. Also funny nevertheless:) Bis, bis....

[feanando]

@OvidiuDanut7 I believe I had only seen (imagined...) that when I read a Mozart biography!

[grasho]

Dear Valentina, do you plan to have a concert in Bulgaria, or anywhere near in future? I really want to see you performance live! :)

[grasho]

Dear Valentina, do you plan to perform in Bulgaria someday, or anyplace near? I really want to enjoy your performance live someday :)

[freakmod]

Valentina, it's very hard to find good living musicians who can combine technical mastery with spot-on interpretations, and I usually find myself returning to the legends like Janis, Szpilman, Horowitz, Richter, Gilels, and Rachmaninoff.

I found your YouTube page and have been sampling your videos for the last hour - and I believe you might just possibly become a legend yourself. You have a new fan :)

[markd1487]

Hi Valentina,

Are you planning to visit and play in Israel some time in the future?

[NuovoCurioso]

Vorrei essere lì con voi...per ascoltare da vicino e ammirare Valentina.

[rolipoli]

0:33 cute... the best pianists are always free and funny

[chrisb0000]

where is the rest of the video!!!???????

[MartinetPhilippe]

Thanks a billions for your marvelous, incredible, fantastic, extraordinary, beautiful, amazing, wonderful, fascinating .... DVDs. I have all of them and I'm waiting impatiently for the last one ;-)

[iLoveChopin]

[ValentinaLisitsa]

As early as May, or Oct

V

[iLoveChopin]

omg but i'm expecting Jan/Feb... :(

[mgokalparslan]

@ValentinaLisitsa

how much time does it take to practice and finish a rachmaninoff piano concerto, for example no 2?

[Kalen1457]

Wow this is great quality playing and video!

You've inspired me Lisitsa.

[BriBriLovesYou231]

I see you as like a mad piano genius...?

if you know what I'm trying to say here lol

You look like you have fun playing.

I wish I could play that well.

[cafity]

YEEEESSS!!!! My favourite piano concerto!!! thank you thank you thank you thank you SO MUCH!!!! now i know why you were playing rach 1 "minus orchestra" (video)!

[MountainDelight]

When can I buy this recording? It's so beautiful. The London Symphony is amazing!

[8scatterbrain8]

amazing... will you ever play it in Rome, perhaps..?:)

[brucesan]

So adorable when she bounces along to the orchestra at 0:32 :D

[ACE29q]

DEAR VALENTINA

Is that a Hamburg Steinway?

[pffffffff454]

Can't wait for the DVD :)

By the way a personnal request to miss V. : Any chance to see/listen to you playing Chopin (Berceuse Op.57). I'd love to hear your sensibility of this masterpiece. That would be a trumendous gift to me(and for sure for the rest of us) and certainly just a little work for you. I Know you're very busy but you never know asking ;).

[pochorm]

I hope this comments helps you amazing musicians because im a musician retired like 3 years ago of drums and 5 years ago of piano. And I understand how hard is to find point of views of people or thoughts.

[pochorm]

I wish someday I could make, music videos with genuine special effects with green screen, a lot of material and ideas I could develop for this music, because this is REAL WORKING AND DISCIPLINE. I have 2 scripts ideas for musical projects. One is based on this video and another one is mine. Someday...

[pochorm]

About the photography and editing of this video, all the Piano players in a subtle way could see behind the beauty of Valentina the out of focus of one very old Piano player I think its Rubinstein. I remember old videos on the ARTS channel here in Colombia a long time ago. With just one camera recording at the back like D.W. Griffith times. Good video I liked very much.!!!

[pochorm]

WOW! nice hardware......

[wnaenni]

Great!!!

[TzviErez]

Is the Conductor Arthur Rubinstein's son?

[pochorm]

I like very much that part when Valentina is playing the song and wants to play the strings part too!! its so great! YES!!

[mazengsa]

Is there any piece of sonata 17 (Mvt 1 & 3) played by Valentina? i would really like to listen to those Mvts by her

[petermc7]

I was mightily blessed to be at the actual recording session, and it was the most sublime experience of my life. Thank you Valentina and Alexei and the others. Peter McCranie, MD,

[00sven00sven00]

blondes have more fun

[gbaku88]

Wonderful playing, of course, but wonderful photography and editing, too. Is this part of a "biographical" DVD like that of Hilary Hahn?

[iLoveChopin]

hey val, when will the cd's be available?

[notasospesa]

Valentina thanks a lot, that's great!!!! A new video YEAH :-)

[pochorm]

Powerfull sound I like it.

[pochorm]

powerfull feel I like it.

[MusicMan20061210]

New haircut...mmm

[NocturnalTune]

As usual.. another amazing video! Spasiba :)

[jorgeliebermann]

Sviatoslav Richter,Emil Gilels,Artur Rubinstein,Vladimir Horowitz,,very good.Earl Wild,admirable,VAL ...thank you very much.You are...I have not words.I wait Rachmaninoff 3rd & 4th.

[rotsenon]

[JoesProductions]

The shots face on are different to the side shots. Just thought i'd point that out.

[cineastasolaris]

Hello Valentina, your are my inspiration for a Short film in Mexico. Take care.

[iLoveChopin]

it's going to be a cd not a dvd.

val, when is it going to be released??

[jorgeliebermann]

VAL:sin palabras...como siempre "Mon coeur s´ouvre a ta piano".

[givemetime123]

Very good (son & video too), but too short...

[321bigbang]

short because you will BUY the dvd...

[pfm0320]

suave no entiendo

[jacoman1234567]

Haha, amazing performance! Best part when you started hopping the piano bench, this is really amazing, too bad it's only 88 sec.

[Rotwatcher]

That was, without doubt, the best 88 seconds on YouTube. Stupendous.

[chrisb0000]

0:33 >> LOVE IT! :)

[chrisb0000]

where is the rest of it?????!?!?!?!

[briarcliffbaron]

love it love it love it . . . a very candid and welcomed look behind the scenes

[Zebeldarebel]

Whoa, it looked like you chopped your hair at first!...

[Earaem]

It totally seems that she cut her hair!

I saw they are indeed long in 1:03 !

so.. don't cut your hair, you look so much better with long ones ! ^^

[ZombieOwen23]

Parfait !

[BocaFriend]

The smiles from the musicians and engineers

do speak volumes for what is indeed moments of technical brilliance not to be experienced again.

Thank goodness it's being archived for all to enjoy forever! ~Terry in SoFL, best wishes, Valentina.

[JSAntares]

Very nice.

[klingsor93]

If you keep on smiling while playing the difficult finale of the 1st Concerto, you will burst into laughter in the last movement of the third Concerto......

[dabbliou]

Sublime, Valentina!

[zephir332]

subtle,aerial,delicate,respons­ive,sunny

:))

[monadbornslippy]

[Maticomp]

I second that, that's what I thought instantly! :D Lovely, and so reminescent of Nodame :D

[Kongriv]

[JoesProductions]
