I am not trying to be nasty here. I know what she is trying to say. Take it, meaning really grasp it and understand the piece so she will be able to interpret it in her own way. Hence, take it.
I love the deep tone of her voice. Not the high-pitched squeakiness of so many U.S. females. Beautiful talent, spirit, voice and appearance. She sure knows how to use those luminous eyes to effect.
Oh my goodness, I'm so glad I finally found this! I have been thinking about it for a while now. What an incredible interpretation and I love her description of how she grew and matured into this piece. I could listen to this piece of about 1 minute in length for hours repeatedly.
Sorry for the stupidity but how come she has a shorter hair when she's beeing interviewed? I'm amazinglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy impressed by her magnificant playing, though!!!
@sirhonestharry please don't be confused, I'm not sexist. I love with all my heart and sould how Martha Argerich, Yuga Wang and Valentina (and many more) play piano.
But my feeling is that Chopin and Liszt pieces can be played strictly with the same "flavour" as the composer want to express just by men. And I think that this is because they are romantic songs.
@demianp2008 i disagree with you very much. women can play any piece that men can. i find your comment offensive. i am a female and i play the piano. chopin can be played by women very well. look at valentina !
@xxloveDisxx Hold on. You missunderstood what I tried to say, (or I didn't said it well). I tried to said, that certain pieces (like Chopin or Liszt or Mendelssohn ones), because their sense, (directly relationned with the love of a woman or men passion), I like them better played by men. Just that. I don't say that woman can't play (or play these song wrong).
And in example, I think that women play better Bach piano music than men. Look at Martha Argerich.
If there is a more beautiful woman in this world,-- in all respects, I haven't seen her. Ms. Igoshina'a interpretation of this work removes the "creepiness" factor entirely from this work. It is much more soulful, interesting, and personal.
qanto pagherei perchè valentina mi svegliasse alla mattina con il suo modo di suonare.... penso che tornerei ad addormentarmi per sognare di nuovo.... brava!
relaxxxxxx valentina no me interesaba el piano hasta que te oi. y me encanta tu voz no puedo dejar de escucharla que sensacion de calma me produce. =D
I played this piece when I was about 12 too. I didn't understand it at all until I heard it somewhere, several years later and tried to play around with it out of nostalgia. I won't pretend I understand it 'well' now but it's interesting how some things just take 'maturity'.
i have no words...this really took my breath away..she played this little piece sooo damn good and beautful, like an angel, shes not human...and shes sooo beautiful, i just have to say that!!!!!!
i like the meaning behind her words. music is much more than just playing notes on a page. just because you can read the notes, does not mean you can fully understand the amount of depth the piece can offer.
Lovely, sensitive Chopin; it would be wonderful to hear Valentina play all the Preludes. This video makes me yearn for the beauty this pianist could divine in these pieces, so often hackneyed by far more famous artists.
i think it`s kinda cute that she can`t pronounce some words.........in fact i think i`d forgive her for drooling over the piano and twitching!! she is beautifull and plays beautifull music beautifully! ;-) who cares how she speaks for cryin out loud.......don`t be such a snob!!! :-)
Okay, this forum has degenerated into a language fist-fight....Please, let's remember, it's all about Valentina and her exquisite interpretations, a true piano virtuoso who is generously sharing her mind and soul by way of that incomparable and unique musical instrument, the piano...
I have nothing against Soviet Union. I know that Russian educational system supports special artistic talents but it is one-dimensional! Everyone knows it, I don't want to be polemic but it is true!
Ich bin ein Mädchen, ich finde Frauen nicht sexy...^^ (naja, manche vielleicht...Keira Knightley ist schon seeehr sexy....abgesehen von ihrer leichten magersucht)
Sie ist sehr niedlich. Eine sehr begabte Frau!
Wow, mein Englisch mutet also wie das eines Amerikaners (also eines Muttersprachlers) an? Danke, nettes Kompliment. ;-)
Somehow I believe her English is better than your Russian. Foreign languages are just that: FOREIGN. "Catastrophe" or not, she is able to make herself understood in English. Can you do the same in Russian?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That is NOT the issue! The point is general education! All I said was that she is an excellent pianist but everyone can hear that she spended many hours a day at the piano not at school.
By the way, ENglish is a universal language, Russian not. I would choose a language I speak properly, for example English or French...
(I learned Russian for 3 years and I can tell you a lot of things in Russian...not like a native speaker but I can make myself understood in a modest way!)
Ich komme nicht aus Russland. Auch nicht aus einem anderen Land der ehemaligen Sowietunion. Und ich sehe auch absolut keinen Grund, warum ich mich dafür schämen sollte, wenn es so wäre!! Tut mir Leid, wenn ich dich verletzt haben sollte, du stammst wohl aus Russland. Ich habe das gar nicht so negativ gemeint.
You have to attend both a conservatory and a general school if you want to become a musician. I am a musician myself and I appreciate the hard work of Russian music students but I know how important education is!
Playing an instrument well is not enough! You have to learn languages (English of course, French or even a classical language), you must know about history, geography, mathematics, sciences and arts... Your education must be EXtensive for the first instance. Then INtensive.
Is this about Valentina or about languages? Can't just some people accept that she is good that prefer to focus in her English? Por cierto, mi lengua materna es el español.
Well, when you will be able to play like she plays, I'd want to see how you'd speak Russian. Well, I tried to teach one American some Lithuanian, however, it took almost half a year for him to learn a couple of dozen (not thousand) words...So, dont speak shit about her. You'd need 15 reincarnations to be able to play like her...
English is one of the few languages that has so many different shadings of words expressing the same thing that it needs a Thesaurus. It is a beautiful language.
there is no doubt that English is easier to learn. But there is a difference: the language spoken between two native English speakers is much more subtle and u do need to live amongst them for quite some time to feel it.
that was almost a Freudian slip ;). Still English grammer is simpler than Russian or German. What I like most about English is that words are much shorter compared to Russian. At the same time, it is so much easier to express in Russian exactly one wants to, without any inuendo, while English may not be so straightforward. No wonder native English speakers are so proud of their strong sense of humour ;)
English grammer may not be as difficult as others, but English vocabulary certainly is. The main problem for any non-native speaker is that one and the same word may have many different meanings depending on the context of usage.
ppl often equate grammar to word endings, which is probably the heritage of Latin: you look at English and you see 2 forms, wolf and wolves, while Latin has lupus, lupi, lupo, lupum, lupo, lupe, lupi, luporum, lupis, lupos, lupis, lupi... but words having few endings is not the whole issue, you also must know how to put this words together to form a correct sentence...
right. it has become so important because of the power of the English-speaking countries and because their cultures were spread all over the world first by sailors and then by Hollywood and pop culture :-)
I've seen enough Latin ppl not getting the English way of formulating negative clauses and questions or inversion rules, let alone the awkward pronounciation ("th" ist called "lisping" in other languages and ppl doing it are sent to a language trainer to correct it) and spelling...
Well the first languages I learnt were french and spanish, I didn't have much trouble with english, anyway I would say that french is the hardest of the three, and english the easiest, as for the "the"'s pronounciation I guess the spanish "z" kinda helped me
French is definitely the most difficult language to master. I'm French & I see a fair amount of people in high school, in litterary section, having trouble with grammar&vocabulary. You find a lot more foreigners talking adequate english than french (see youtube commentaries ^^). Personally, I love the english language, I read untraducted books, I write stories & sometimes I even think in english before french. I don't get along very well with spanish though...Don't know why, I'm half spanish TT
Oui, en cours de français il y a en énorméments qui ont du mal, en plus quand on leur parle de passé du subjonctif ou de complément de l'antécédent c'est tout de suite: "Mais à quoi ça me servir plus tard ?!"
This is one of his cloyingly sweet pieces, Chopin uses the sweetness almost as a weapon, in the end, like much of his other music, it depresses me (in an enjoyable way, if that makes sense). Great interpretation, and she is still young yet, and she thinks, so I am eagerly looking forward to 10 years down the line to see how her interpretation develops.
Oh my goodness, how you have given it your interpretation now, Valentina. That's probably the most poignant I've ever heard it. You give your heart to the piano, and it loves you in return. So do we.
i think it's great that we have many different pianists to play the same pieces, and it is very interesting that each has its own interpretation, which makes performing arts special because we get a taste of a piece of the pianist's mind. I probably listens to 10 different versions of the same piece but each a different experience.
It's no use complaining. YouTube is inhabited by a lot of immature and foul-mouthed people. What they write shows what is in their minds and often in their bowels. Pass over them and read what the thoughtful say.
Those who spoke against Her beauty I understand were defending Her music, And it is Her luscious music that I adore, but give the guys a break, She is very lovely.
She played it as beautifully as she.

I've seen enough Latin ppl not getting the English way of formulating negative clauses and questions or inversion rules, let alone the awkward pronounciation ("th" ist called "lisping" in other languages and ppl doing it are sent to a language trainer to correct it) and spelling...

Well the first languages I learnt were french and spanish, I didn't have much trouble with english, anyway I would say that french is the hardest of the three, and english the easiest, as for the "the"'s pronounciation I guess the spanish "z" kinda helped me

But I think French is your native language?
I find Spanish really easy. well maybe it's just because I am of Latin Amercan origin ^^
btw, if you have already learned a couple of foreign langages you probably won't have any major trouble learning further ones.

Spanish & French are both my native languages

French is definitely the most difficult language to master. I'm French & I see a fair amount of people in high school, in litterary section, having trouble with grammar&vocabulary. You find a lot more foreigners talking adequate english than french (see youtube commentaries ^^). Personally, I love the english language, I read untraducted books, I write stories & sometimes I even think in english before french. I don't get along very well with spanish though...Don't know why, I'm half spanish TT

Oui, en cours de français il y a en énorméments qui ont du mal, en plus quand on leur parle de passé du subjonctif ou de complément de l'antécédent c'est tout de suite: "Mais à quoi ça me servir plus tard ?!"

english is more loose than any other language. there are way more slang terms and alternative ways to communicate than in other languages.

This is one of his cloyingly sweet pieces, Chopin uses the sweetness almost as a weapon, in the end, like much of his other music, it depresses me (in an enjoyable way, if that makes sense). Great interpretation, and she is still young yet, and she thinks, so I am eagerly looking forward to 10 years down the line to see how her interpretation develops.

Oh my goodness, how you have given it your interpretation now, Valentina. That's probably the most poignant I've ever heard it. You give your heart to the piano, and it loves you in return. So do we.

i think it's great that we have many different pianists to play the same pieces, and it is very interesting that each has its own interpretation, which makes performing arts special because we get a taste of a piece of the pianist's mind. I probably listens to 10 different versions of the same piece but each a different experience.

So beautiful. The softness with which Valentina plays touches the keys of the heart. Thank you for sharing this exquisite video!*******

very interesting what she says there, those easy pieces give more trouble musically than the difficult ones.
That prelude is played in one minute but it took 10 years for her to know what to do with it.

My reaction is the same as what I wrote to: Chopin - Valentina Igoshina - Prelude Op. 28, No. 15
So I've also this one.

I'd like to see her hands while she plays. What does she mean by "Three half of a bridge" ?

She meant "half of a page"

It's no use complaining. YouTube is inhabited by a lot of immature and foul-mouthed people. What they write shows what is in their minds and often in their bowels. Pass over them and read what the thoughtful say.

Those who spoke against Her beauty I understand were defending Her music, And it is Her luscious music that I adore, but give the guys a break, She is very lovely.
