sometimes i wish we could have a way to tell composers how much their music means to random people living centuries after, from places they've probably never even heard of
The same with all great art. Especially the artists who struggled, physically, emotionally, and mentally. They gave us so much, enriching our lives. @catherinejanet5806
Almost 20 years and I keep coming back to her version. Classical music is so unique bc each player can make it sound so unique- yet a listener has a preference
For over 20 years, I have listened to this piece almost compulsively, and I have never found anyone who compares to the Ukrainian Valentina Lisitsa in the way she conveys its emotional nuances with such expressiveness. Greetings from Brazil!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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..
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.
My 13 year old son can play the first part of it, and is now working on learning the 3rd (fast part). He is an amazing gifted musician, as is my 14 year old daughter.
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!!!
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!
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.
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!
Holy smoke! Right from Beethoven's eternal soul, through you, and out your fingertips! Transportive and deeply spiritual. Unearthly beauty in every note. Brava!
Руки, как будто просто лежат на клавишах, а музыка исходит откуда-то из вне... Лучшее исполнение за все годы,что я слушаю любимую Сонату Бетховена! Благодарю гениальную Пианистку за это наслаждение! 😅❤
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!
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..!!
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
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.
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.
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.
it's really not hard to memorize a piece. I could memorize this in two weeks of practice (or the cello equivalent cause im a cellist) but I could never actually perform well, anything near this level in a thousand years
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.
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 😍😍😍
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.
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.
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!
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. 😍
Valentina est la meilleure pianiste du monde ! Elle est une icône vivante du piano ! Elle est la virtuose absolue ! La déesse du piano venue sur Terre !
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!!
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!
As a disney child, who's now an adult facing hardships, I truly appreciate this ❤ it keeps the child in me warm and happy. Have a good night's sleep everyone.
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!
Moonlight Sonata on piano. 14 minutes uncut. Amazing performance, with a tremendous precision on the notes at an extremely high speed. What mastery. It's a difficult level to imagine.
*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.*
Every video gives me goosebumps. I'm no musician myself but I tend to recongize perfection when I hear it. My brain isn't able to analyse it but my heart soars like a hawk. Thank you for your amazing art.
Lorsque je vous ai découverte il y a dix ans, c'était en 2009 je crois, peut-être avant, peu importe, votre jeu au piano a enflammé mon cœur et d'autant plus que la sonate n°14 au Clair de Lune de Beethoven est ma préférée de tout son répertoire. Vous êtes exceptionnelle : Vous n'interpretez pas l'œuvre, non, vous la vivez ! Merci de la faire perdurer de la sorte ❤😇
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...
V. Lisitsa presents a captivating performance. She exerts the power of dynamism, executes the essence of Sonata #14 with superb dexterity. An enjoyable rendition!
Beethoven would TOTALLY love and approve this performance! Valentina Lisista is the only one who understands Beethoven and performs his music with 100% accuracy!
@@capitanaless1o493 in my opinion... his deafness was a blessing....Ultimately... it doesn't matter if he could physically hear... Beethoven was a RARE prodigy.... a very rare true talent.... like Mozart..... it's so sad we don't have God Given talent like these men anymore..... Beethoven and his predecessors ( Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, etc., ) all are true LEGENDS.... WE SERIOUSLY WOULD NOT have our current music if it were not for these individuals!! Especially in the metal gentre, I might add!! :)
@DanielMartinez-nw1pn you're right, I'm good too, but could've listed just 3 pianists ( 🙂) jokes aside, thanks for the list. I will check Gilels out 👍 I asked him about other pianists because I sensed he was just commenting that she was 'the only one who understands Beethoven, but he doesn't know any other.
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.
I've seen this played by dozens of pianists and she is the only one that gives me chills. Simply inhuman. Somehow I think even Beethoven would be like daaamn!
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.
I know this piece as well. She plays with grace and tenderly. Beethoven would be pleased.
Wonder how stoked our boy Ludwig would be knowing thousands of people are still enjoying his piece 222 years later :)

This is where every musician should come if they want to know how to play music. Absolutely astounding
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.

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.
@@BrianDennington Yeah, one famous channel here on YT, Rousseau has a terrible interpretation of this. He plays like a robot.
My 13 year old son can play the first part of it, and is now working on learning the 3rd (fast part). He is an amazing gifted musician, as is my 14 year old daughter.
classic example of sounding like an utter boomer lol, who hasn't heard of prodigies knocking it out of the park in classical music

There is a mysterious spiritual force here...

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.

V. Lisitsa presents a captivating performance. She exerts the power of dynamism, executes the essence of Sonata #14 with superb dexterity. An enjoyable rendition!
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
@@capitanaless1o493 in my opinion... his deafness was a blessing....Ultimately... it doesn't matter if he could physically hear... Beethoven was a RARE prodigy.... a very rare true talent.... like Mozart..... it's so sad we don't have God Given talent like these men anymore..... Beethoven and his predecessors ( Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, etc., ) all are true LEGENDS....
WE SERIOUSLY WOULD NOT have our current music if it were not for these individuals!! Especially in the metal gentre, I might add!! :)
Claudio Arrau, Daniel Barenboim, Emil Gilels@@webgpu
@DanielMartinez-nw1pn you're right, I'm good too, but could've listed just 3 pianists ( 🙂) jokes aside, thanks for the list. I will check Gilels out 👍
I asked him about other pianists because I sensed he was just commenting that she was 'the only one who understands Beethoven, but he doesn't know any other.
Уважаемая Валентина, ваше исполнение божественно, спасибо вам за ваш труд и талант, вы приносите столько добра в этот мир
Look at her, lovingly caressing the notes to life! Simply magnificent～
Exactly
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!
Beethoven would be proud of Valentina. Superb!
I don't think so... He 's deaf
@@ΣπύροςΜολφέσης and DEAD...
I've seen this played by dozens of pianists and she is the only one that gives me chills. Simply inhuman. Somehow I think even Beethoven would be like daaamn!
Played with elegance and emotion 👏👏👏👏
Когда пианист, понимает, что и как он делает, а не просто лупит по клавишам в быстром темпе, это очень красиво звучит и приятно слушать, спасибо! 😄
Pure music, much love from Italy. Grazie Valentina💖
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.
This performance is insane. I keep returning to this one. I've never seen anyone play this so well. Bravo. 🌹
One of the best versions I ever heard, bravo Valentina
