Beethoven Sonata Op 106 "Hammerklavier" Part 2 (mov1,2)

[TatTwamAsi]

Wonderful, convincing and sensitive. Strange because I was prejusticed that you would display your virtuosity. But you let your amazing technique work in your benefit.

In the first part (the former video) the stereo landscape was unbalanced. That made it seem that your left hand was accompanying your right and that is not wright in a pure polyphonic piece. But in this video that didn't happen. Lovely.

[Kitsua]

A very lyrical interpretation of this very difficult piece. I really enjoyed it.

[pmartens4]

there's an infamous quote from Beethoven about this piece.  He said this will give the pianist something to do!!

[dosomethingaho]

beautiful

[mariogc2]

Un saludo quizá, extraño y muy muy lejano es La música que..... Dios quisiera oír muy seguramente gracias de un aficionado a la música, que siempre encuentra en ella una de las razones para sentirse feliz en la vida.

[mydebbers]

After 15 years of piano lessons, I could NEVER play this!

[daonap]

Why do I get the feeling this second movement inspired Ligeti´s Musica Ricercata?

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

you should post this in one video!

ps. you're very "hammerklavian" btw :D

[ZachEatonMusic]

I really, truly hope that you make a complete set of Beethoven's Sonatas o_O That is so much to ask of one person, but you seem to be the only one that can make the piano sing the way it should. At least that's the way I feel about it.

[platero55]

Wow! This Valentina Lisitsa is the real deal! US tour coming up?

[kimikochele]

Valentina, when I hear you playing I am able to reach the Greater Part of Myself! Thank you for this gift! All the best to you!

[MisterPapageno]

You are wonderful! :) it's a pleasure to see you palying and to hear you!

[mireli16]

AMAZING you are AWSOME FANTASTIC

[organmichigan]

Part 1 Major

Part 2 Major --> Minor --> Major --> Minor --> Major --> Not sure!

Only Lodewijk Beethoven can write something like this :-) !

And only one lady left that can play it!

[tschaeikaei3]

@organmichigan Lodewijk is a nice idea for his name.

[DICACIO1]

@organmichigan Alice Sara Ott can play anything Valentina can, more than likely ;)

[PamSubZero]

Wow. Great job. I love how you interpret it, congratulations.

[1992seppel]

why so much recordings in hannover?

btw nice playing

[dimitriallegro]

Oh Valentina..........can't find words to describe it.....it's not of this world......it's cosmic

[1Lisztener1]

Greatest composer ever. Beethoven, you've earned that title a million times over.

[hermanshermits124124]

Ok now I am jealous Valentina :). As a true Beethoven fan I must say you really did him justice. I would like a faster version of the Appassionata though (like Friedrich Gulda did). This piece is just magnificent!

[matsuokashiro]

fantastic. equal to the world's greatests, but she is prettier.

[themastererer]

Lisitsa, you never fail to inspire. :)

[GlitterFlower01]

2DRYH: Your interpretation of this Beethoven sonata is very good!!!! I am waiting for the DVD.

[MrMrMikayel]

Bravo!!!

[tannenhonig]

Thanks for the fast answer! This sonata (and the Waldstein) is my absolute favorite one. And the visual component makes it even more interesting, it seems.

[tannenhonig]

Is a complete performance of this available on CD or DVD?

[ValentinaLisitsa]

@tannenhonig Yes, the DVD is in works.

[LAnonHubbard]

Beautiful. Making my working day a lot nicer than it would otherwise be. Nice to see others are enjoying it also.

[aeonfluxjmd]

I simply love to you watch you play. You play like a beatiful mad woman.

[ichabod4151]

SO BEAUTIFUL as always

[ekklesiast]

Valentina, I love you! )

[lilibeauz]

you play so beautiful and so lovely to watch...you light up my life with heavenly musics thanks

[LAnonHubbard]

Liking this the more I watch it.

[turtle277]

do you write you own music?

[riversea07]

she is, definitely

[tavo1239]

no se si sea de pronto un poco precipitado decirlo, atendiendo las diferencias interpretativas de ambas artistas, pero, será acertado decir que Valentina Lisitsa es la próxima Martha Argerich??? is Valentina Lisitsa the next Martha Argerich???

[leondertien]

In my opinion, Valentina is already better than Martha Argerich...

[Bigoaki]

Good！

Good！！

Good！！！

[abeleveh]

Todos los dias al anochecer, cuando llego del trabajo pongo unos videos de Valentina y miro sus manos acariciando el teclado, mientras la música me llega al mejor rincon del alma. Gracias

[jorgeliebermann]

I have not words for you.This is Beethoven.

"MON COEUR S´OUVRE A TA VOIX"

[RenanGarciaMoura]

You will post the first part this week?

[freitasnetuno]

Thank you =)

[ZombieOwen23]

Parfait.

[VideosAlcides]

Valentina, comprei seus DVDs, se pudesse assistiria a todos os seus concertos, mas somente aqui, neste canal do YouTube, podemos expressar com toda a espontaneidade a nossa admiração pela maior virtuose de todos os tempos... a esperança de que você continue a postar os vídeos com as suas maravilhosas performances é imensa!!!

[AlucardAG]

its beautiful, every note perfectly played. im so happy you make these videos, without you truly, i would never have found piano music to be so amazing =D thank you so much =D

[my31and37]

I'm amazed that you can play so many complicated pieces from memory? Incredible, as always!

[jmuzic77]

she has a photographic memory too so it's a bit easier for her

[Sorcerer88]

are you sure? i remember her saying it was muscle memory, the way most people learn pieces. photographic memory would mean that she'd remember the sheet music, and she'd need to sight-read that from her mind.

[wintermood]

Gorgeous lady and awesome rendition! Thank you!

[giogiorn]

Sempre bravissima!

[iLoveChopin]

Thanks for sharing val, do we have part 1?

[tubbie0075]

A musician of your calibre didn't need to post videos on YouTube. You could be recording all this in a DVD and sell them in stores or perform at concert halls charging expensive tickets.

On the contrary, you kept posting her fantastic performances on YouTube. I can only conclude that you aims to share great music selflessly with everyone. I salute you! No other professional musician at your level is as selfless as you are.

On behalf of all of us who enjoy your videos, thank you!

[Elicgt]

Would have loved to see her play Chopin's ballades and Liszt's Transcendental etudes :)

[RenanGarciaMoura]

Wonderful perormace!

[JoyCeLy4ev]

She is amazing and has good technique!!!!!!!!!!

[EnricoGiampi]

Valentina's playing is very inspiring...is like ANGELIC i'd like to say.

Columbia Artists Managament has a real AMAZING TALENT to develop.....id' like more;)

[claudeleason]

the most stunning player i ve seen on youtube,and everywhere.

[farzad21]

Nice Job

[happybirthdayamelia]

Awesome <3

[VideosAlcides]

0:16 - 0:38, você transforma em música celestial...

Só duas outras mãos são capazes de repetí-la, Valentina: aquelas refletidas no piano...

Brava!!! Brava!!! Brava!!!

[fireb0rn]

thank you for uploading this!

[ryancouture]

the bloody coordination thats what i cant seem to nail down

hopping from key to key never accidentally pushing two together

[pinkgirly222]

[147258saku]
