The most beautiful and inspired melody ever written, isn't it? I don't feel any kind of video or visual is adequate for this music. Too much action , with hands flying all over the keyboard ( Liszt made sure it is one of the most difficult transcriptions - ever ) . To fully enjoy it , download a free MP3 at my Google Music store:
https://market.android.com/details?id=album-Bgwsil7rkbp3rpxoeoqq4skwleq&f...
Outside of US download here : http://tinyurl.com/7zz3ewc
If you feel creative, please go ahead and make better visuals - or just use it as a soundtrack for a self-made Christmas card, or share it with your friends as is... Enjoy - and Merry Christmas !!!!
The video was recorded a week ago , in Hannover - for "Liszt project", my attempt to recreate old style recording -- with final result being an fully analogue vinyl LP...
PS. Turns out Google music is not available for non-US users. I uploaded it on file-sharing and links are available at my twitter account ( ValLisitsa) and Facebook. or directly:

Sheet music is available at IMSLP here ( it is a beautiful first edition in public domain ):

  • Valantina, this may sound really stupid, but what piano compositions did you play at age 14?

  • Oh Yes! Singers for this Jackie Evancho & Andrea Bocelli. Very Nice! Lv Dan

  • Hi! This is just so nice! I try to share Your Playing with everyone I can. It's just on My Facebook,I'm the only one who listens to Classical music.Some people are getting clued in though or are just finding You.My list of Classical musicians-Valentina Lisitsa-Hilary Hahn-two Trumpeters Tine Thing Helseth("Story Teller") Alison Balsom(Hyden concerto I think). Your Beethoven" Moonlight" is over two mil views. Tine Thing has one that is over two mil views. Thanks for the music. LvU Dan

  • This is a video lesson on how to record a grand piano. Simple is best and digital describes the signal rather than record it. Bosendorfer and Steinway constantly strive to improve what is already a world class product. Why do so many sound engineers feel they need to reinvent the wheel.

  • It's like there is two different instruments! :) very good

  • Very nice, Exactly the way it has to be....

  • @bummy33 i study on university so i dont have anough time, i must have instrument in home, i always wanted to have bosendorfer grand piano but it cost too much for me, i want buy yamaha avantgrand n1 because this is very good instrument with keyboard like grand piano, but it still cost too much for poor student, so i can only watch video like this and think how good i could be

  • @ThePunisher92Poland A lot of colleges-universities/churches­/retirement homes have pianos just waiting to be played! take care! i hope you do play again soon!

  • i was playing around 12 years, i was good, very good, i played chopin etude op 25 no 12 c-moll after 6 years in music school buti was young and i stoped playing, parents sold my piano, after 3 years i want to return, but i have not instrument :( you are very good pianist, i hope that someday i will be as good as you
