- Hello all. This is the original complete recording of the Sonata the way it was meant to be. Back in those days there was a 10 minutes file limit and therefore I had to split performance in 2 parts. The 3rd movement went viral while the first file did not. Playlist does not work in the opposite way and there are hundreds of channels that stole my recording and rebroadcast it in full. So I should have it published as it was played. Enjoy! I think when performed complete the concept of the performance is different.
00:01 I. Adagio sostenuto
05:17 II. Allegretto
07:35 III. Presto agitato

Hello Valentina,
Yes, I remember. This 1st part made me want to learn piano at 57 years of age, now 6 years ago, It took me a year to nearly complete this 1st part up to halfway the last page, trying to copy you as good as possible. At the end I even could play it with my eyes closed. Need to take it up again and finish that last page.
Thank you so much.. I would be lost without music.
Congratulations on learning a new skill at that age. Hope I'll still be able to when at that age. xx
♥♥♥♥♥
You DID "take it up again"...didn't you?
~ Patiently awaiting the upload. ;)
That's a beautiful story. I'm beginning at 37. She's a huge inspiration.
@@2pi628 yes, again grom the first page and a lot is still in my fingers. Now I read the music but still with difficulty. Left hand part is easy.
Wonder how stoked our boy Ludwig would be knowing thousands of people are still enjoying his piece 222 years later :)
My god, her 3rd movement gives me chills. Such pace and clarity. Just unreal, her technique is magical.
You are right ❤️🔥
I am at 3:55 am.. sleepless night can be beautiful
14 minutes of the most splendid piece of music ever written? Sign me up! This, especially the third movement, is just stunning. I am in awe of this skill.
I even watched the ads, just to make sure she gets paid a little bit.
:)
:)
her third movement cannot be eclipsed for the following hundred years. it is as perfect as it can possibly get
oh, she can improve herself and defeat the old ones tho lol
We just have to check it out in a hundred years
@@Greycat590 I'll still be around just to make sure😀😉
I can get close to her speed on the third movement, but she makes not nearly as many mistakes as I when I play it. She has executed the entire song as a master.
The only one that compares in my opinion is Glenn Gould, although his interpretation is wildly different.
You wonder if even Beethoven himself would have realised that his works could be played with this delicacy, depth and intensity. What an enjoyable performance. Having a wonderful evening listening to music on youtube and this caps it.
This is without a doubt the best performance of this piece I've ever heard and I come back to listen again many times.
She is magnificent!
As do I good sir. I rewatch this frequently.
I agree. This song gives me the chills when she plays ❤
This is the best performance I have ever heard. Just unbelievable! I listen to it many times and again and again ... just an unearthly performance. Bravo!
Tiffany Poon was soo good in Part 1. But she definitely failed Lisitsa in Parts 2 and 3
Oh wow, the third movement made me dizzy, and I mean this in the most appreciative way possible. Outstanding performance.
I encountered a gas explosion a few years ago.
The days of hospitalization and treatment were lonely and painful.
I don't know how many years have passed since then.
This music is my healing. Thanks.
Hi～！ Valentina💖 Thanks .
Now I'm sick and resting. I need some relaxation time. I will stop commenting until I feel better.
I'm not in the right frame of mind to handle this. Thank you so much for the wonderful time, I had such a good time.
@@flowerdiary9689 how have you been doing?
Such precise yet seamless hand movements. Almost feels like her hands have consciousness of their own and she's just enjoying the show
I agree. It's like, "What is this? What is that? Pretty cool."
There is a mysterious spiritual force here...
Who in their life born recently can play Beethoven like this. Classic example of time travel and understanding of the music
You can't play it too fast. You can't play it too slow. And you can't play it like a computer.
10:45 THE TRANSITION GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS
Throwback, one of the video that bought Valentina to her success.
tailspao Su she didn’t get success from Utube she got it from practice and dedication
It was actually her rachmaninoff etude
@@PXNDXPIPE yep been watyching her over a decade now damn
I don't think Beethoven would have played it the exact way you did. You brought a lot of romanticism to that masterpiece and made it yours. Thank you for sharing this
Beethoven would TOTALLY love and approve this performance!
Valentina Lisista is the only one who understands Beethoven and performs his music with 100% accuracy!
can you mention at least 3 other pianists who, in your opinion, come close?
Too bad he was deaf
I got obsessed with this piece a few years ago and someone recommended me to listen to Lisitsa's performance. I don't think I have ever being so grateful to someone. After so long I still love this performance more than anything, more than anything, exept her graceful way to play.
When you listen, you feel every single tone she plays. When you watch her fingers go gentle on the keys you feel their thrill, and when she smashes them it feels that they were brought to life. By time, when you listen to it over and over, you understand that this piece was Beethoven's secret message to Valentina.
Just be quiet man. No need to be so dramatic
yeah I think everyone is being way too stuffy with it. She played it probably the best I've ever seen and the sonata is amazing (apart from 2nd lol) but just chill on the stories and shiz.
When a child is born of parents who love each, there is nothing but goodness in his heart. Valentina was blessed richly
In Canada we LOVE Valentina Lisitsa's brilliant, sublime playing... another breathtakingly beautiful artist that won't be silenced or ignored by us, your faithful fans!!!! Kisses to you.
"Moonlight" in technical terms, is relatively easy; the challenge is in inserting your artistic soul.
She was brilliant.
Yes I completely agree. Getting the dynamics and emphasis on certain notes is the tricky part because the piece is so open to personal interpretation which was rare at the time this was composed.
I've heard a number of pianists perform Sonata #14 and to me, this is the definitive performance.
really? Its a little rushed in my opinion.. Grand. If it make you happy then its great. I just don't hear it. Its funny how we hear things differently. Its honestly a really bad version to me.
I hate saying that but yeah. Bad.
I. might be a bit spoiled.
yeah the whole thing is rushed to me.
love the playing but it is rushed.
Sorry
Her hands seem to move at lightning speed at the last movement!! The amount of pure skill expressed by her playing gives me chills!! I really hope to see her perform live some day!
With all due respect to her incredible talent to present us what has been created by an absolute musical genius - centuries ago - Ludwig Beethoven,
All from memory. That’s the most amazing part of the entire beautiful performance
That's the easy part after you've practiced it 1000 times
@@ryana7313 For real. Its borderline disrespectful to the skill on display here. Any damn fool can memorize something and forget it right after.
This is where every musician should come if they want to know how to play music. Absolutely astounding
the beautiful sensitivity of touch that Valentina has in this performance makes the opening movement seem to float so gracefully along, dreamily. Then, the 2nds movement so cheerfully wakes you back up, and says get ready for a quick (but adventurous) trip back home, and Valentina then pounces into that great, rush-home, final movement. I've never hear another pianist do *quite* the dramatic performance of this one. There are more than a few really great pianists out there, but for this particular piece, Lisitsa's performance is the most dramatic.
I always want to cry when I listen to your rendition of the 3rd movement, it is so great there are no words to describe it.
Why does she look so much like beethoven himself sitting at the piano? Her fingers don't even seem to move...they just float and that magnificent sound emerges out of nowhere as if. Magical.
Bent over the keys as such, i thought the very same! Dynamic!!
They just glide
I'm always awestruck by her - love this music
Is it a transgender and a man pls?Thanks
@@sarahisaiah1 no. Definitely not.
Despite all that the internet offers, I continue to return to her again and again. Her performances are empyreal.
One of my favourite performances of the famous Moonlight Sonata. Bravo!
1st: 0:00
2nd: 5:18
3rd: 7:36
You are excelent too! Maybe someday very soon....the 3rd ! 😱👋😊💪
3rd is my favorite
@@hwiatslgeord2887 Me too
Brava*
She’s a female
Second movement is shit
Gosh, what an awesome performance 😍😍I was hypnotized by her hands. It's my most favorite piece of music for piano and I already heard it soooo many times and watched sooo many different performances of it but I never saw this kind of fingerwork . It looks like she's making love with the piano. Absolutely incredible and totally awesome 😍😍😍
The emotion of the pianists is incredible, something that takes over. Lady Valentina Lisitsa is super, great.
Stunning playing and the interpretation is spot on. Beethoven would have been smiling had he heard this.
Valentina simply is my favorite piano performer. No one else plays this powerful (and fast), while still being precise and moving.
Best performance I've ever heard!
Bravo!
Слушал уже раз двадцать и не перестаю наслаждатся мастерством исполнения моей любимой сонаты.
Валентина... Ваши пальцы прикованы к сердцу, а Бетховен живет в душе.
Высший класс!
Валичка просто Умничка , Красавица и Лапочка ! С замиранием сердца смотришь . как мягко , плавно и грациозно она скользит пальцами по клавишам .
This is almost a mediumistic approach. Really truly high-leveled good stuff! The notes practically play themselves. Adagio Sostenuto's second period of bar 39, in its relentless gloom is the point I always struggle to survive. This whole performance, together with those by Baremboim and Horowitz, is something all music lovers need to hear!
Questo è l'esempio dell'arte musicale straordinaria, per tutto il mondo,,!! Come si può privare la gente, ad ascoltare la sua bravura, che meraviglia..!!
How could anyone not love this she is the best musician I’ve heard. Would love to see what she could compose.
I have watched and listened to this performance for 3 years. and I'm still left in awe at the beauty at Beethoven's composition and your accuracy. You are truly inspiring
Empress of the Universe 🌞🌃🌹
It will never grow old
*Valentina, I just wanna express how much I appreciate your music. I've formed a habit of listening to your performance of Beethoven "Moonlight" Sonata 3rd movement before studying, or doing any tasks that require mental focus. I even bookmark it in my browser. No matter how many times I've listened to it, I always can't help but exclaim "How could she do it?". You've inspired me to enjoy classical music so much.*
Thanks to Beethoven .Thanks to Valentina. I will keep Music as a memory of Mankind.
Why a memory,
Music has never been more alive
ridgerunner wapiti you're welcome
Ludwing van Beethoven lol
Are you off to visit other planets or something?
dumb adults
One of the best pianists in the world, if not the best! Thank you for sharing ❤️
That is the best performance I‘ve ever heard about this masterpiece!
From goosebumps to tears, everything is included.
And don't forget to thank the creator of this masterpiece. Ludwig van Beethoven.
Performed exactly as Beethoven had intended ... Absolutely prefect! 👏👏👏
She is definitely my favorite pianist in the classical genre. I hope I get to see her perform live one day.
Standing ovation, your 3rd movement is just outstanding
Восторг и трепет от вашего исполнения, дорогая Валентина! Каждый раз слезы восхищения! Храни вас Господь!
This is amazing! I've heard so many renditions of Moonlight Sonata that are emotionless and sound like people have metronome in their ear while they're playing (some of which have thousands of likes on here), and this is just the exact opposite. Perfect variations in tempo and velocity that make me feel something! Amazing!
Как жаль что после каждого прослушивания этого шедеврального исполнения я не могу ставить миллион лайков!!! Брависсимо!!!
Holy smoke! Right from Beethoven's eternal soul, through you, and out your fingertips! Transportive and deeply spiritual. Unearthly beauty in every note. Brava!
Her pace and the way she strokes those keys is amazing. Never gets old.
Valentina, we met back at UNC Chapel Hill. Your Beethoven Sonata #14 has long since been the gold standard. Superb!
Simply amazing. I often heard Beethoven purposely wrote his works difficult to play and few musicians wanted to work with him due to their challenging nature. I think you would have amazed him. Thank you Valentina. Bravissima!!
El primer movimiento de la Sonata Claro de Luna es la pieza más bella y maravillosa de Beethoven. Sublime e infinita, y, a la vez nostálgica y desoladora. El segundo movimiento, sencillo y complementario. El tercero, es todo fuerza y emociones desbordantes. Esta obra, interpretada por Valentina, es portentosa y refleja en su totalidad lo que debió sentir y vivir el mismo compositor al crearla. Gracias por este regalo.
This is the best recording of the 3rd movement that I've heard in over 20 years.
I can't believe i only discovered you today.
THANK you for the years and years of commitment, and focus, to make THIS happen.
Blessed Be.
Hello Valentina.
I stumbled on this by accident after watching a young girl play #3 on guitar. I'm so glad I found your performance. Your skill, interpretation and grace is simply amazing. Absolutely captivating and wonderful to watch. My mother played all 3 movements for her major from Marywood back in 1957. Still by far my favorite from Ludwig.....never gets old! Thank you for sharing this with the world!
One of the best versions I ever heard, bravo Valentina
Here and now, after 11 years knowing You, I want to say again that I never have been amazed for no one but You. You're the Greatest of all times, man or woman, maybe your gift show us that You are an Angel!!! Thanks Valentina for share your gorgeous Talent with us the simple mortals! LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!
Dearest Valentina, I hope you are well and that you get this message. I saw you play live today in Brussels at Flagey for the Piano Days. It was incredible. You truly mastered Beethoven. You played for 1 hour and half. You ended with the complete moonlight sonata and an extra piece of Chopin(nocturne in c sharp minor). Both of those pieces are extremely special to me. We spoke briefly after your concert and I told you how amazing it was. You were very kind and gracious. I just want to say your interpretations are amazing. After the concert I stayed a while to enjoy the piano bar with a Jazz musician. I went outside and saw a beautiful church. Maybe this seems like a cliché but thanks to you I was able to enter and was able to confess to God and to the priest. I haven't done this since I was 12 years old. So my last confession was 22 years ago. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! Sincerely yours, Johan
Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.
Johan: God blesses us in many different ways. The fact you got closer to Him is one, and Valentina and her performances demonstrate His divinity. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story, and may God bless Valentina’s hands.
It seems you have read my message ☺️
Wow!! ♥♥♥♥...
Music can truly be a spiritual experience. Thanks for sharing your beautiful story
January 2024, this masterpiece played by her resonates with the loss of my little brother 💔. Thank you ⚘️!
💔
This is the best performance of this piece I have ever heard. The touch is amazing.
je ne sais plus combien de fois je l'ai écoutée, mais c'est une régal à chaque fois. Great
Now I could finally hear what the beethoven spectators really could hear. magnificent. What a gift.
It's so incredibly kind and generous of you to share your deep talents with us online. So moving. And deeply appreciated.
Her fingertips feel the emotions of the music ...WOW!
Superb. I love the interpretations by Lisitsa.
Wow! To anyone who thinks that first movement is easy, I challenge you to get the legato Valentina gets throughout. Not easy at all. And thanks for making that second movement completely coherent and so easily understood. The third is of course monstrous in your hands. It all builds so splendidly. Bravo!
Eric Austin ye,even tho the third movement is the most challenging(from a technical point of view) the first movement has a lot emotion making it the hardest by far.Tbh lisitsas first movement isnt the best interpretation I have heard however the third movement is my favorite.
Yes, absolutely agree with you. Technically is not that demanding the first movement but all the nuances on each of its notes and the legato and emotion are supposed to transmit is definitely challenging,
The first movement is indeed not easy. You can check official grade for it on the net. It’s also a bit long. Everyone is just full of themself. I can barely play it correctly. I guess after 10 years of piano it will be easy. Also some have immense talent and tend to forget it...
You have to FEEL the first movement to play it as it was intended by Beethoven.
@@JohansPiano Remember, for every count that talent has, effort counts *twice* as much.
This performance is perfection......I have listened to this piece so many times by a host of pianist's, so far none of them have eclipsed this performance.
Yes.. everything she does.. absolutely perfect!
Thank you so much Valentina for this poignant and touching performance! The moonlight sonata is one of my favourite pieces of ever.
Top Tip for everyone.... listen to this ... and then click the start and listen to it again.... as its as perfect as it can be... and just how the great man wanted it to sound... prefection... love love love it.... wonderful Valentina...thank you... Yoki..
I actually almost cried during the 3rd movement. Wonderful. Thank you so much.
*the best available interpretation of this sonata, thank you Valentina*
I also love Fazil Say's interpretation.
or Arrau interpretation
Yes!! It doesn’t overdo it, it doesn’t get too clever.
It’s what my ear wants to hear
Vril society. Lol.
Best available is Glenn Gould
Валентина, не перестаю восхищаться мастерством вашего исполнения! Оно завораживает!
This really brings Beethoven and piano-playing alive for me as someone not musically trained. Thank you.
Beethoven would be proud of Valentina. Superb!
I don't think so... He 's deaf
@@user-vv4wc2gq3v and DEAD...
No deje de repetir el vídeo, me fascina la delicadeza con que fluyen tus manos. Excelente interpretación.
Saludos, Paz y Respeto!
I have listened to this for years. It, among other of Valentina’s recordings, has changed my life.
I never truly understood this piece until I heard her play it and I can say that is true about so many others.
It has opened a world of possibilities to me as a musician. She is incredible.
This is one of the best performance of this melody that I have heard in my entire life.
Thank you Valentina. I don't want to talk about how virtous you are. I just want to say that I am studing the third movement and your video is gold for me. A big hug from Italy.
Pure music, much love from Italy. Grazie Valentina💖
My goodness.....phew!...what a marvellous masterpiece but also the incredible skill of Valentina Lisitsa to play it. Bravo!
Must return every few months to refresh this vision of Olympus; both Beethoven's and Valentina's. Sublime!
Thank you for reuploading this masterpiece in a complete session!
Everything is just so beautiful. Thank you Miss Valentina.
This is the only video/recording I have EVER come across that really feels like it conveys, not only the music of Beethoven, but his FEELINGS! You can feel the burning restraint of the slow start, the irony of the time's style in the middle, and then the pure rage of the finale!
Well said
I was crying nearly the whole time. This is so beautiful.
this is easily my most favorite Sonata ever. i fell in love with this Sonata as a child and now at 42 YO i still cant get it out of my head and still listen to the entire 3 movements on repeat. there are just so many layers to this piece. its truly timeless. And it is superbly performed by the great Valentina Lisitsa. hopefully one day i will be able to play this myself.
The 3rd movement was the first video I watched and it was just last year. Since then, I can't stop watching your videos and I started studyng piano

The ligato and timing of your emphasis is uncanning and amazing. Absolutely masterful
Astounded. Ms. Lisitska's lengthy and skilled performance is artistry at it's best-and this was my first time truly hearing the Third movement. Brava!
The pain behind such beauty
Yea I agree, she uses every technique right down to sliding the keys for that perfectly smooth transition between notes.... amazing!
Muitas vezes os músicos tocam o 1º e o 2º movimento muito rápido, o que faz perder bastante a graça da música, mas Valentina sente a essência, a profundidade da obra e consegue passar isso muito bem. Não canso de ouvir. Parabéns. 😍
Played with elegance and emotion 👏👏👏👏
Valentina, thank you for the music (and beethoven) I've listened to you several times and still am on the edge of my chair every time. you are the best.
