  • More beautiful? ....... Listen to the pause at time-point 3:20. Then answer buszmen75's question.

  • I'm gonna have to buy this DVD, I can't find another interpretation of this piece that I like nearly as much, they all feel too rushed.

  • Ela é a melhor intérprete de Chopin, não tenham dúvidas. Nunca vi alguém tocar com tanta perfeição, é de tirar o folego!

  • Belleza máxima, la obra musical y la ejecutante, una maravilla!!!!

  • love the setting!

  • You know what I've been wondering: she has 5 or more videos of different Chopin pieces all in the same costume and setting - so does that mean she has all this music memorized and played them all on one day? THAT would be amazing!

  • Music written so long ago has waited and waited for the perfect rendition and with it comes a message--- that life holds a promise of magical beauty wanting to be discovered if we can push negativity aside, refuse to let it fog our vision, for the real meaning of life is all around us in forms truly wondrous... this music, finally rendered properly is meant to be a sample of what's out there waiting, waiting to be found and treasured.

  • Her love of this piece is conveyed in each note; control of chord intentions precise... her soft approach at the beginning is balanced by the passionate middle treatment, probably what the composer intended; listen to this love, admire it forever, you won't hear a better rendition-- after decades of attention to this piece I value my opinion, so should you..

  • @richardcarlisle1

    Agree!!! Valentina's seem to make wonders at the piano... I love both Valentina Lisitsa and Igoshina, but I think Lisitsa always seem to show off in any fast passage...

    At 3:05 Igoshina keeps the tempo down, resulting in the most balanced and beautiful rendition of op 10 no 3 by mankind

  • I have never in my life heard this, I have heard others play this music, but this is my first time I have heard what I think that Chopin must have felt when it was composed, it is truly wonderful. What a blessing the world has in Valentina Igoshina.

  • I agree with U

    u just live with chopen in u`r soul

  • Even as a child I recognized the beauty in music such as this. I remember my father playing this song and it resonated throughout the halls and even through the walls; just as his father did before him, and his father before that. Chopin has been a part of my family and my own life. As has music in all it's entirety. Music is what keeps me alive inside.

  • look at those tittis!

  • It's amazing that this piece is used in so many anime: La Corda d'oro, Princess Tutu, Baccano, and as the basis for the Gankutsuou theme music.

  • @AvatarYoda you forgot fullmetal alchemist (wakare no kyoku)

  • @albertomiris

    I've not seen that yet. It's on my list. Now I'll have something to listen for.

  • Beautiful women, beautiful piece

  • me encanta este tema

  • Es verdad; es tan grande su aporte, que su belleza pasa desapercibida.

  • El secreto está en el pelo.

  • Beautiful beautiful !!!

    We are under Valentina'spell !!!

  • Beautiful :') just like the woman playin it!

  • There was no mistake at 4:30!

  • @TheDobermanOwner1

    Then I'm probably deafer than I thought. Also I may have never studied this etude. Or listened to it thousands of times.

  • Too bad for the little mistake at 4:30... If only she'd looked at the piano instead of vacuously staring at nothing...

  • Chpin's etudes are often said to represent different technique aspects of piano playing, but I would definitely say this one represents feeling!!! it's divine, and played by a goddess :))

  • I didn't know that princesses play the piano

  • Love this interpretation of this piece, I have been searching for the right version for a long time because I am playing it at an exam on Monday!!! You can tell she fully understands Chopin's music, there are a few wrong notes in there thought that Chopin wouldn't be too happy about though!!!

  • what is there to dislike about the intensity of this artist...she carries the essence of this piece better than many of the men I have heard play it here on YouTube...maybe, becuz, she's a woman...women feel things more deeply than men, I think...their hearts are always on their sleeves unless they have been savagely wounded by a man...

    she plays it from the heart...I like it.

  • it's so beautiful. i love your playing !

  • fk chopin i think Mozarts way better

  • @lincy911 You must be Deaf!

  • I love you...Valentina...............­....

  • Who are they? Pianists?

  • so Beautiful and Poignant......

  • she's fking HAWT!

  • 1:53 where is she starring at? rofl.

  • Is she in a Synagogue?

  • Amazing!

  • I don't know what's more beautiful song or Valentina......very velvet soul, i just love when she playing !!

  • ...The best pianist in the world. Perfect balance of emotion, power, reflexion and technique. Valentina plays it the way Chopin would have it...  Vin Smith

  • I love this piece ..... so much emotion!!!

  • This has to be the most beautiful piece and interpretation I've ever heard.

    So amazingly done and it was a pleasure to listen to it.

  • I don't even play piano or know much about it... but DAMN that is a gorgeous piano.... oh, and the girl too

  • I LOVE how this goes from being soft and mellow, then to being so very intense, and then soft and mellow again. Only Chopin could compose something so intricate.

  • beautiful girl, beautful music. What's not to like?!!

  • 1:56 makes my heart just melt.

  • @twizzlenote I know, that part is so beautiful.

  • You guys should check out a vocal and piano arrangement of this piece by Sarah Brightman, just youtbue Sarah Brightman chopin

  • Lady Gaga & Justin Bieber had clicked the Dislike Button 45 times

  • @emmanytube fuck off

  • @emmanytube who the hell is lady gaga?

  • @emmanytube Lady Gaga has nothing to do with Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga probably loves Chopin.. Bieber probably hardly knows who he is. This is just reality, and please stop misunderstanding Gaga. She's a cool artist.

  • @PorroFirst This comment made my day. Not entirely in agreement, but it's unfair when people judge an artist without research. Gaga may not be any Valentina Igoshina, but she is a vocalist and pianist who deserves a little more respect as musician. I don't know enough of about Bieber to make any real comments...not much of a fan though, don't like his voice.

  • @emmanytube

    fuck you, asshole.

  • @emmanytube so what ? fuck them.

  • @emmanytube learn to count bro, if both of them clicked 45 times it would be 90 dislikes. Btw, great piece and great technique, best ive heard...

  • @emmanytube Have you even heard Lady Gaga play the piano??

    Stop bashing on artists just because they're popular and do some research.

  • @emmanytube Dude, don't make this page dirty by even mentioning them...

  • @emmanytube Lady GaGa is a real artist, don't mean i like her but she's a composer. It's just that she's doing commercial music to get more fans. And most of the people are still idiot to like it.

  • I really dont like the crazy atonal part in the middle. I know it's for "contrast" or whatever but I'd rather it just be beautiful all the way through.

    Main melody makes up for it though

  • @IcyScythe omg please make the world a favor and keep your stupid thoughts to yourself.

  • why does @139steven always apologize 'bout the editing? chill bro! its perfect! :D :D

  • Wonderful to have Chopin in your soul while you play...and it does sound so, really!

  • I would give anything to have a woman that beautiful who respected music as amazing as Chopin. 

  • She looks like the princess in a story, right after the interview...

    ...Actually, she looks like a fairytale princess throughout the whole thing. So perfect, in look and what she says while she's playing.

    Thank you for including the interview! It was really refreshing to hear someone speak and actually understand them, their thoughts and feelings.

  • I've heard several versions this one is one of the best and yet I don't understand why there are 45 dislikes!

  • @darkstunt Lisitsa fans bro, thats the reason..

  • Beautifully done, heard one egregious sour note, must say I prefer Lang Lang's version at the Berlin Philharmonic on 1/31/09; this, though, is special in it's own right in that her passion and love of not only Chopin's composing but also of simply playing can be felt here.

  • imagine what would happen if more of the world listened to this music..

  • why doesn't more women look like that. I hate the bimbo look. It looks so cheap and unoriginal.

  • Oh and this is one of the greatest renditions of this piece that i have ever heard. Really sweet and beautiful :) i am now an avid fan!

  • de pronto me molestó que solo pasaran sus senos y su cara... u_u

  • I'm in fucking love.

  • It is a shame how a lot of people, in the midst of such music, can be reduced to insulting people who'm they will never meet.

    There are videos where debate is encouraged and expected; it is always likely for insults to be flung there. But here? You wouldn't do it in a sacred place; this kind of music is 'sacred' to some of us, so please can we leave bickering in the millions of videos where it already exists; the disease shouldn't spread to this music. It is just sad.

  • i love this piece so much and her interpretation is just amazing

  • - What people need to realize is that almost all music today was derived from the classical music era. Most musicians who go to universities and colleges to receive an education, then go on to a career, all took classical training. If you're trying to compare the acoustic music of the long past, composed by geniuses of music, to our talentless, electronic, self-absorbent, money loving musicians of today. I'm sorry, but you should probably go back to high school and appreciate a certain intellect

  • In an attempt to rationalize this intense passion that I have developed for Chopin's music i have concluded to the following. It is this clarity that exists in his musical phrases, this charm, that has its roots at the depths of the composer's heart and that comes to the surface producing this aesthetic environment of piece and purity. An environment that is so much missed in the artistic expression's of our times. I have found shelter in his music and for that I thank him with my heart.

  • @dim19f omg exactly what i think!!!

  • Comment removed

  • 这张音乐很好听!!!

  • Freddy Kempf and Valentina Igoshina plays smooth..

  • Ops! Her was 46 monkeys... !!!!!! KKKKKK

  • Beauty!!!!! But 190 monkeys think knouw all...

  • The way it should be played; this is a passionate, soulful,bittersweet song Chopin wrote about his war-torn country. I think it was Poland. She plays beautifully!

  • i dont really like lang lang but lang lang owns her in this piece

  • @llethaface11 lang lang is a clown!!!

  • @eholian

    a very very rich clown who's talent has been recognized the world over and probably one who has more talent than you ever will...

    For shame that you can't possibly make those balloon animals as well as him. Haters will hate, and if you really think he's bad, then try and do better...if not then shut up and watch him prance around in his clown suit.

    Lang Lang a clown, yes. But you, sir, will never be a tenth the clown he is ;)

  • @taintofshadow Ultimately, it is a very good thing for you that you don't know who I am and what I am. I take it you assume I am partially if not fully ignorant of music and that I just go about posting baseless provocative comments. Now on your...comment...whether he is rich or not, couldn't possibly care less, and I didn't say he was "bad", I just said he is a clown. Anyone who knows a little of the classical art world knows that there's nothing wrong with expression, WITHIN REASON!!

  • @eholian To call yourself better of whom many people consider to be a fantastic player, if a bit of an actor on stage is a bit pretentious dont you think? If you really were so amazing that you blow lang lang away dont you think that your name alone would be legendary amongst pianists? please go ahead and divulge otherwise all the comments you spew sound pompous and ARE just "baseless provocative comments". I for one am nothing but dust beneath these pianist feet. i have videos to prove it :P

  • @taintofshadow Oh and one more thing, I don't try to do better than Lang Lang, I AM better. And no, I will never be a clown, "sir", for I am a Madame, and I would rather die before the world sees me as a clown on stage rather than for the musical ideas I put before them. But hey, everyone is entitled to their taste...and you can keep watching and listening to your circus...ignorance is bliss.

  • @eholian

    Now i'm just laughing myself silly as you can't possibly see what I did there. To even go so far as to clown on yourself and join the circus.

    He entertains, and many find him entertaining. The world cares not for whom you are. I don't. My dog doesn't. And no one else does, apparently. I am simply stating that we really don't care.

    You can poke fun at the man. But you are simply using anonymity as a shield for you're true face.

    I don't know who you are?

    I don't care to.

  • Love this piece, I first heard it in my friends keyboard.

  • it's very difficult for me to not get a boner

  • She usually plays very fast.. This is an exception.

  • @eothel Then she has lots of patience! : )

  • the 46 are INSANE..this is a magical piece..she has Chopin's soul!

  • CUÁNTO ME ENAMORAS DE LA VIDA!!!!!!!!!!

  • Each time I play a piece of music I can't stand any other performance than my own....... well I'm positive she plays it just like me! or rather just like I try to play it! It's perfect!! Now I can't stand hearing ME play it, I just listen to her over and over.... THIS is true Chopin!!

  • Jo Stafford put words into this tune...No Other Love..Youtube it..

  • I almost cry when i heard this melody... No way!!! I'm crying...

  • Maybe I were born in this little world just for listen this étude. I heard the most beautiful song in my life. I think I can die happy.

  • @Kuraujia IT'S NOT A MOTHER FUCKIN' SONG!!! It's a piece!

  • beautifuuly played, and im liked your romatic atomsphere...10/10...just hope the life is like a romatic dream...bravo.....

  • shes cute

  • her playing is so ethereal

  • i wish my speakers could go louder :(

  • Escuchar su voz me provocó de inmediato sentirme hipnotizado

  • Best version on youtube.

    I can play till 2:49

  • she has one magnificent shoulder ... and

    the face speaks for itself

  • Every time I listen to this, my heart starts pumping like crazy.

  • i'm in love with this woman....

  • @dcz2390

    I think her husband may object. :)

  • @C3F6D4 i don´t care... she loves me, it´s just that she doesn´t know yet.... :P

  • this is music, absolutely perfect!

  • beautiful.....hands..thank you

  • Cuando niño, yo creía que estas notas eran producidas por las olas del mar.

  • I liked her comment in the beggining... Living with Chopin in her soul, that was one of the most beautiful things I have heard...

    Так... Давай, ^^ водка

  • Who knows how Chopin is suppose to sound? Was anyone there to hear his performance?

  • I don't really like her version of chopin, I mean.... it sounds too female, I know she is but I guess it has to be faster and less broken in many parts... and more aggressive!

  • 46 people went off to listen to Bieber

  • @987Mars Oh... my... god.... Oh my GOD!!!! I can't believe it! No, I've never read your comment! It was just a bad nightmare. It's not real! It can't be real! You never wrote those words! I'm just seeing things! Yea, that must be it..

  • @987Mars Bieber better than Chopin? Are you out of your fucking mind.

  • @Franciscanplaypiano Don't feed the troll.

  • @987Mars That might be one of the funniest jokes i've ever heard!

  • @987Mars Who let this kid in? We grown ups are listening to music. Go play with yourself somewhere else.

  • @987Mars

    Okay. Wow.

    No. Not at all, thank you for your opinion though troll.

    I hope you're a troll. If not then there is no hope for the future.

  • @kelceejofarra If I agree to realign my appreciation of music with something more suited for a 19th century phonograph, will you go out with me =)?

  • @987Mars

    I don't even know you so no. Sorry. I don't date Bieber lovers. :)

  • @kelceejofarra but, think of posterity! If I let my children and all their friends love Bieber as I do, what kind of a future would that be???

  • @987Mars

    While that future is much too scary to think about, it wouldn't matter anyway. Children love whatever they want weather you like it or not.

  • @987Mars who's bieber?

  • @mingury shut up

  • Her dynamic range is reminiscent of Richter.

  • Am I as turned on to the pianist as I am to the music? God, she's fucking hot.

  • Speechless....

  • fucking stunning

  • I listen to this, thinking I could never do it ... Every note is a blade in my heart.

    This track is beautiful.

  • One of the best renditions of Tristesse I've heard. Most pianists tend to mess up the tempo but this one sounds almost perfect.

  • Well done, now i want to die ! ;-P

  • "Chopin - I just live with him, in my soul"

    Beautifully said and beautifully performed.

  • @U2becommenter don't forget she's beautiful as well.

    or, um... she kinda looks like a mongrel in that "classical" haircut but w/e

  • this song always sends chills up my spine and tears down my face. :')

  • Anybody know any other piano songs that are as lovely as this one? So sad.. I love this one and Franz Liszt' Liebestraum, somehow so very similar. Anybody have suggestions for me?

  • @Belisagenius I guess you would also love Schumann's Traumerei.

  • @asadik123 I love it! But I'm looking for more challenging pieces, technically speaking. I can just handle Liebestraum and Op 10. 3 after much hard work. But it's definitely worth it.

  • @Belisagenius: Most of Chopin's compositions- if not all- are very expressive and provoking.Some of my favorites are Waltzes Op. 34 No. 2 & Op. 64 No. 2 (I like Evgeny Kissin's interpretation most) and Nocturne in C sharp Minor No. 20...

    ----------------------

    Ave Maria gratia plena Dominus tecum benedictatu in mulie ribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesu. Sancta Maria Mater Dei ora pro nobis pecatoribus nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen +

  • @Belisagenius Try Chopin's Nocturne Op. 27, no. 2, Étude Op. 25, No. 10

  • OMG, She is cute and lovely

  • one of chopin masterpiece .,very beautiful piece.,at imin 1.54 i start have a goosebump and my tears start to drop.,

  • If I couldn't see her, I would still be deeply in love with this woman- just for this precious gift. Of all things I know, this is the most beautiful.

  • As much as I love Valentina Igoshina,  I prefer Michie Koyoma interpretation of the Chopin Etude..

  • @MySuperstar09

    I really don't see why? She plays it at the perfect tempo, hits the keys more smoothly as they should be in Chopin pieces and really immerses you with the etude whilst playing on a better sounding piano. I really have no idea of what you're thinking and I'll have to disagree with you

  • beautiful :)

  • she looks very sad :(

  • Me gusta la Melodia. .  . aunque tenga tonos tristes :D

  • This is my favorite Chopin piece.

  • One of the greatest classical melodies ever written. Valentina's performance brings out the passion and beauty Chopin's music. This piece, in my opinion, summarizes Chopin's style beautifully, with incredibly powerful atonal chords contrasting the recurring, immensely beautiful and emotional melody.

  • Simplemente bella!

  • I'm sure Chopin would have loved to hear his music played so beautifully....

  • =')

  • Non mi piace... sorry

  • "about your rely... relatives?" so cute!

  • Is she single? I guess I'm moving to Russia.

  • @refuseit

    You could move to Russia, but she lives in the US.

  • @refuseit Sorry to you. Sh`s married since 3 years ago.

  • 44 not likes sure will be for schumman fans ;)
