Valentina Lisitsa Piano

This video is put up so that people can comment freely. When one tries to post comments on Valentina's videos, they are deleted. Only glowingly positive comments are left on. This is against the spirit of the internet and of You Tube. ALL comments, good and bad should be left up as freedom of speech, freedom of expression (comments may be harsh, but should be strictly legal and NOT personal or insulting). I have reviewed the comments here on this forum and rules are required: This site is for commenting on the MUSIC; not for personal or insulting or profane/vulgar remarks or arguments of that nature. I will edit the posts (including mine) to focus on the MUSIC. FYI: VLA sucks because of lack of freedom of expression. You can comment on the playing if you like. This video is actually the great Sviastoslav Richter.

Mechanically superb piece, but totally lacking expression...just a nervous rush to the end.Simply not in the same league with Valentina.

[ValentinaListitSucks]

@hchoctow Wow. Perhaps you should check out some of Richter's other recordings.

[odmoa]

You saying that Valentina sucks is wrong. It would be just as if I were to say that Martha Argerich sucks just because I didn't like her musical interpretations. Because that's what you're saying about Valentina. It is wrong to say this simply based on your own opinions. I hope you understand this, if not, you have too high thoughts about yourselves. Regarding the commenting on her videos, I've seen negative remarks about her playing. They have not been deleted. Your claim has been disproved.

[ValentinaListitSucks]

@odmoa you seem to be wrong.

[fdaltrey]

Yes, now I see it. Thanks. It did take a while, though. However, I am certain (unless I'm blind or going insane) that 'magnifique!' by another user was posted (i.e. submitted for approval) after my opinion, yet officially acknowledged before mine.

Man, thank you so much for this great job! None of my comments were accepted in the girl's posts. I think you don't have to answer to comments of her fake fans cause there can't be ones. It seems they are all composed as all those admirers leaving super-enthusiastic comments. Otherwise, if those are real people then they don't deserve to get responds because they are lost. This ridiculous girl tries to make a career relying on idiots who are plenty as you can see here.

Valentina is THE BEST pianist on earth !!

You gotta learn to love her.

[jakobsid]

Geez, peoople need to calm down, and to the point Valentina lisista doesn't suck, in my opinion, her playing is just really, really boring, and i can't believe people see her on the same level as horowitz, it just doesn't make any sense to me at all. But that's just my opinion anyway.

[thom2629]

The man behind this channel is a moron.

[thom2629]

Valentina lisitsa is great. Everything that is negatively commented are still posted. You SUCK!

[tlcfiend]

@odmoa Not to mention this is misrepresentation. Clearly, that is not Valentina Lisitsa. This guy has serious mental issues. And HE SUCKS for being such a jerk as to actually name his channel strictly with the intention of slandering a great pianist.

[tlcfiend]

You are a real jerk. And an immature one. Valentina is GREAT. And I am a pianist. You seriously need to grow up, asshole.

[IBlackRockI]

@recklessful God, you don't know how wrong you are. You and the hopeless moron who runs this ridiculous profile. It's not a coincidence that Chopin's Etudes are the most played among all etudes, and that's because they're not mere studies. They're the apotheosis of music and expression, and if you can't see it, well, you should probably dedicate yourself to something else. And so that you know, Valentina does just an amazing job at doing justice to these little gems of classical music.

[recklessful]

@hchoctow well that's why this piece is called ETUDE..etude doesn't need musicality. It just simply a piece that only requires technique.

[samynohff]

It's quite a sorrowful attitude, from someone that presumably appreciate true genuine Arts.! which I'm in doubt- criticism, respectable serious criticism has rules and manners, even a random response of any average lay person or even a conceited one- that's if he intends to express his opinion subjectively of course- should be within certain constraints, that's in case of publishing of course,,, accordingly, please, Let us all as comment submitters, abide by that,, Thank you.

@ValentinaListitSucks Ok, maybe I exaggerated, and maybe she isn't as good as Richter (although she certainly competes with horowitz and maybe even Argerich), but she definitely isn't some mediocre artist, as you make it sound. Attend one of her live concerts, and you'll surely change your mind.
