  • In Russia, we say the wolf sleeps in his den only long enough to snare the rabbit. After an entire bottle of Vodka, I don't even know what this means, but I do know, after viewing this performance, I would make love to this Valentina on top of her piano for as long as the Russian night is in December

  • I used to think that Beethoven merely used his 2nd movements to accent the epic-ness of his final 3rd movement, but I came to realize that there is so much genuine emotion of pure happiness and joy these 2nd movements that I am almost moved to tears when I hear them. It's crushing to know such happy states of being are doomed to move into a state of tragedy, and it lends a whole new weight to the overall sonata.

    Bravo, Beethoven and Valentina!

  • This is a very emotional piece, the first bars with the theme are subject to many interpretations and to put more emotion in it was possible. She knows how to do but it's her mindset and perception creating this nevertheless excellent performance.

    Perhaps I still have Richter too much in my mind.

  • @urquell69 привет. i just wanted to say that she is ukrainian

  • The lovely coda is followed by witty variations. I would have hoped that you played it with even more syncopations in the variations because I like it Jazzy. When played a little bit naughty I like it best. Composers like Beethoven, Schubert and Mozart were very naughty and although Mozart claimed his music was not, I think it was the most pornographic music ever written. Louis also. That oldfashioned idea that this is highly ethical music has long gone. This is sex!

  • beethoven says to a beautiful girl "im so mad... but i can't stay mad at you sweet thing..."

  • This movement sounds so emotional. It almost brought me to tears lbvs!! xD

  • Belo. Portugal!

  • Wow Valentina your great!!

  • you are right in the mind of Beethoven

  • Quelles basses ! Quel piano et cette prise de son ! Quel ange est passé Valentina ? Je ne me lasse pas de cette pièce. Mes hommages Valentina touchée par la grâce. Merci.

  • Dear V.L., as to your concern re: would be V.L., but V.I.

    A special work and performance marked by good information

    at sufferance of obnoxious bad information.

    The point of the presumption: We may not survive unless we choose

    canning the ego-defense, fear of those who look like obnoxious priors,

    and insist on the possibility of everyone's view of better nature being right

    despite those who would scapegoat, whether out of pacification or for profit.

    V.I.:

    See this and transform. Or go die
