@Hengrid i agree.... the beginning was great, she made it sound like there was a woodwind accompanying the piano... and her rendition was soothing.... but towards the end, the embellishments crowded out the melody... i cosign your comment 100 percent. Love Valentina still though lol.

Anybody who fails to recognise that madame is a virtuoso is fooling themselves.
Im pretty sure shes a match for pogorelich et al but contrary to them her repetoire is huge. faustian technique with an adgile mind to match a lady going places and quick.

There's not the coherence Horrowitz's piece has.

bellisimo!!!! clap clap
-
Great version clap clap .. but few mistakes at the hardest part at end show us the difference between Lisitsa and what Horowitz can play in his time

Fantastic!

My apologies to all of you Horowitz worshippers, but I think her performance of this piece is better. And I'm not just saying that because I'm in love with her. Along with her fabulous technique, she has what Horowitz himself used to refer to as "jeu perle", which he describes as a certain ease and elegance in playing. Impossible to define, but you know it when you hear

@MadamDoolally She's not even Asian and she's an extremely gifted pianist.

lisitsa is a hoax, as any asian pianist....

I think Valentina is a very strong pianist, but here she was good at the beginning...then she asked too much from her fingers.....what makes me wonder about Horowitz is the complete mastery and total control...you hear each single note, always! He was coming from another world.

Amazing!!!
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Well, Valentina was good at first - but then she struggles at the back like it's a mess so, really not the best. I'd rather go for Horowitz or Yujia Wang. Sorry. Dislike my post if you like, lol.

@Hengrid Are not at all agree, but they are opinions.
