Just delicious!

Do you have the Schubert-Liszt Ave Maria?

Unspeakably beautiful performance. It has been such a long winter between Liszt and Lisitsa. I will be adapting fragments of such playing into my spontaneous improvisation for years.

Valentina, I think your Schubert is WONDERFUL. Question for you (unless you want to keep it as a secret, that would be ok lol) : Would you say that the rotation of the forearms is a big part of your technique? I mean, is it an important aspect of your technique. You seem so fluid and your sound is just always well balanced. Love your playing, thank you.

And, like an awakening to bright fresh morning after nightmarish dream, we encounter Die Taubenpost ("Pigeon Post" - Seidl), Schubert's last work written two weeks before his death. Simple lines, charming melody, sweet verses - yet there is something incredibly wistful about this piece.

Now I know how this can be possible... :-)

She makes it sound easy... passionate.... and beautiful. But it is hard (believe me, I´ve tried to learn it) and it is really beautiful. I close my eyes and relax with the melody and experience power of music!!!

I VERY LIKE U TOUCH THE PIANO.

The piece sounds rather easy, but it is in fact really difficult to play.

This performance is absolutely marvelous. Supreme piano playing and a perfect musical comitment and understanding.
There are passages in Abshied and Die Taubenpost, for example, that easily vie with the most technically challenging writing in the whole piano literature. But if these are performed as they should be, the listener will be unaware of the difficulties, as Liszt left no place for virtuoso showmanship in this work.

Really, Valentina, the listener doesn't notice the extreme degree of technical difficulty...

she carresses the piano ...i've been listening to her for such a long time and i can't get enough of her. I studied piano a long time ago and I know how it feels to play with such passion.. lucky her to be so gifted!
