I just love her personality. Not a hint of arrogance, only pure delight as she lets her fingers dance across those keys. She is truly amazing and inspiring!
I absolutely LOVE Valentina and her artistic ability to make even the most complicated and difficult pieces of music to sound amazing and look easy to play!!! However, that dress is a crime against humanity!
I love this piece by Liszt.. Valentina is an absolutely supurb concert pianist. It was a delight watching her fingers fly across the piano keyboard and seeing her delightful facial expressions during her performance.
My most favorite part of the video is 8:18 when she plays that theme and the orchestra follows along with same little theme. I chuckled a bit at 8:48 when she turned to the orchestra and was like, "Your turn." Seeing her smile at 8:33 and into the piece is always a delight and shows how much passion and enjoyment she has as she is playing.
Great performances from everyone on this marvelous piece! Liszt is so awe-inspiring! Valentina Lisitsa looks happy and it's great to watch her play the piano!
She looks like she's having way to much fun playing this. Everytime she finishes a section, she has this little smirk on her face like, "I so totally own this piece."
A beautiful performance by the fine orchestra and the incomparable Valentina. I trust that Liszt and Toscanini would concur. As always, Valentina brings out the beauty of Liszt's Hungarian tributes. I thank you for putting this up so we can continue to bask in the glow she exudes.
Well, I know, but the later parts of the peace the solist make it in my opinion extremly good. But in a critical perspective: I admit. Have You ever heard the performance of the hr-sinfony-orchestra (Frankfurt)?
Some of the world's most famous 19th Century pianists were reported to make mistakes but if on balance, their performance was intense and thrilling, it was overlooked. Why not now? Seems like most of the commenters here including me believe she's giving a dashing performance.
She wore the same dress when she played in a street of half-demolished Marioupol for those who had servived. She just had put it over her cadual jeans and jacket. It was Victory Day.
I would love to hear Valentina rip that gigantic F major scale from bottom to top of the keyboard like Jorge Bolet does in his version. Doubles the drama of the ending.
True enough, but it was Liszt himself who did the full orchestration for piano and orchestra instead of the solo piano for the 14th Rhapsody...and of course, the main theme, based on "In Mohacs Field" was centuries old by the time Liszt so brilliantly adopted it....
Amazing! I didn't know that. It's the first time I hear this version and I'm a big fan of the Hungarian Rhapsody Nº. 14. What is the original name in Hungarian of "in Mohács Field"? Is it possible to find that on UA-cam?
Actually, the main theme was less than 10 years old at the time Liszt composed the Hungarian Fantasy :) but it was probably presented to Liszt as a folk-song (as had been the case with a lot of such songs adapted by Liszt and Brahms into the Rhapsodies and the Hungarian Dances). The song was premiered in a musical drama in 1847, the composer is called József Szerdahelyi. The title is "Magasan repül a daru" - I don't know where the "Mohács' Field" phrase comes from - it is found on wikipedia and some concert notes, but there is no such song as far as I can tell.
They're both arrangements on themes of a Hungarian folk dance, just as the other Hungarian themed pieces, so yes, that and the converse would also be true enough.

LISZT + Lisitsa + Axelrod + Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai = Perfection!
I absolutely LOVE Valentina and her artistic ability to make even the most complicated and difficult pieces of music to sound amazing and look easy to play!!! However, that dress is a crime against humanity!
I agree completely. Poor girl! It looks like her enemy dressed her.
I love this piece by Liszt.. Valentina is an absolutely supurb concert pianist. It was a delight watching her fingers fly across the piano keyboard and seeing her delightful facial expressions during her performance.
Valentina plays with her heart!
My most favorite part of the video is 8:18 when she plays that theme and the orchestra follows along with same little theme.

Seeing her smile at 8:33 and into the piece is always a delight and shows how much passion and enjoyment she has as she is playing.
+TJ Malana totally agree!
Lisitsa's favorite part is at 3:40 with the full arm weight on the major chords.
Great performances from everyone on this marvelous piece! Liszt is so awe-inspiring! Valentina Lisitsa looks happy and it's great to watch her play the piano!
She really enjoys playing the piano..
LeeSungHak Like any professional pianist...
As a musician, it is very humbling to watch this woman perform.
I have a personal addiction to Cziffra's exciting expression of this arrangement, but this performance has a captivating flow and gleam to it as well.
She looks like she's having way to much fun playing this. Everytime she finishes a section, she has this little smirk on her face like, "I so totally own this piece."
Well, she does own the piece... especially at 8,30.
She hates to be compared to others. I'm her eyes, perfection doesn't exist.
+Lyudovik Rekov Escamilla There is no comparison. She is uniquely the best concert pianist in the world.
She does own this peace
Another Lisitsa youtube winner.
Magnifica interpretación de la pianista y una auténtica obra maestra del Gran genio de Liszt.

Not the best version which I've ever heard, but without any doubt she has a brilliant technique and it seems she really enjoys playing piano.
A beautiful performance by the fine orchestra and the incomparable Valentina. I trust that Liszt and Toscanini would concur. As always, Valentina brings out the beauty of Liszt's Hungarian tributes. I thank you for putting this up so we can continue to bask in the glow she exudes.
1.Klasse! Valentina!!

amazing
Lindo demais
🎉🎉🎉🎉 like 1000 😅
Listen to Solomon Cutner!!!
Co za kobieta...
Too many audible mistakes.
you are a mistake
Well, I know, but the later parts of the peace the solist make it in my opinion extremly good. But in a critical perspective: I admit.

I just don't understand why she feels the need to go "topless".
If this bothers you, then let me introduce you to Yuja Wang
She wore the same dress when she played in a street of half-demolished Marioupol for those who had servived. She just had put it over her cadual jeans and jacket. It was Victory Day.
Amazing music and brilliant
performance.
Thank you, dear Valentina.
🌹🌼🌹
Belle Valentina ! Fantastisch !!!...
2:06 She looks like she's about to cry in delight of the music
👌
너무나 오랜 만에 들어 보는 "Hungarian Fantasy"....
조용한 아침을 화사하게 빛나게 하는 ....
고마워요...Valentina *^^*
That devil Liszt would have enjoyed playing four hands this piece with her !
valentina sublime! excita la mente, el corazón y el alma
mind-boggling technique
Концерт-представление! Блеск!
I would love to hear Valentina rip that gigantic F major scale from bottom to top of the keyboard like Jorge Bolet does in his version. Doubles the drama of the ending.
Come sangue che scorre nelle vene
Marvellous!!!!!! Words are not enough to express how I admire you Valentina!
Brilliant performance and my all time favourite Liszt composition.
For me it's also - at least one of - his very best!
Fantastic, a real delight
Unfortunately Valentina plays the half-speed of this Liszt composition. Compare it!

"March Grandioso"
I do not believe somebody else in the world can do what Lisitsa did here.
C'mon horns, get it together.
Amazingly she hits what sounds like a bum chord at 3:53, but fortunately recovers quickly. Never seen that happen in a concert before.
True. Twice. But a wonderful recovery!
Val is our Masterful Maniacal Magical Minx.
A very extravagant dress she has.
wieso gibt es keine anderen deutschen Kommentare?
Sie ist es doch wert!
It was a performance that I was Valentina Lisitsa. amazing.
Hacia años que no se escuchaba este concierto. 👋👋👋👋👋🥇🇮🇷😁
Jazzy 3:53
What is the piano make? It sounds different that a Steinway of Bosendoffer. The name seem to start with an f but does not seem to be a Fazioli,
It is a Steinway but it says Fabbrini on its side because of the company who kind of sponsored this piano
+Rudolf Feindler It literally says "Fabbrini" under the Steinway logo. Please have a look at 15:24 in the video.
+Rudolf Feindler Oh, I just read my old comment. My apologies for the mistake! 😅😅😅😅
😘💓💕💖💞💘
So long story short this is actually Hungarian rhapsody no. 14
True enough, but it was Liszt himself who did the full orchestration for piano and orchestra instead of the solo piano for the 14th Rhapsody...and of course, the main theme, based on "In Mohacs Field" was centuries old by the time Liszt so brilliantly adopted it....

nice hun suit, John
wrong piece, wrong pianist, wrong conductor
