Valentina Lisitsa plays Rachmaninoff Prelude in g# minor Op.32, no.12

Valentina Lisitsa plays Rachmaninoff Prelude Op.32, no.12, filmed and recorded by me at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, 2 April 2009. I made the recording with my Zoom H4. She played four Rachmaninoff preludes and 'Träumerei' from Schumann's 'Kinderszenen'. See also my YouTube-portrait of Valentina elsewhere on my YT-channel, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1VnAdqEjRs and the following page on my weblog: http://www.tonalties.nl/wordpress/?p=307
Enjoy the video!

Thank you so very much to you and Ms. Lisitsa for putting this piece up on YouTube!! Fantastic playing and a beautiful interpretation!!!!

5/5

Слушая Рахманинова в вашем исполнении, я всё больше удивляюсь, как вам удаётся так глубоко почувствовать внутренний мир композитора. Романтический пафос, мужественная сила, лирикосозерцательные настроения- всё это было передано в вашем исполнении!

J'adore Valentina mais il n'y pas meilleure version de ce morceau que Nelson FREIRE

[sylla999]

i agree its too fast, still some intersting flashes. i dont think she would ever play it this way in concert.

[itaicl]

too fast, this should be a very emotional piece and the little important passages are lost in this speed, listen to horowitz version to understand what i mean

[Ellinidara]

so magic piano playing.
