Une pièce merveilleuse et énigmatique. Toutes les émotions, les sentiments humains y passent. Je crois que c'est le monument de la musique de J.S.Bach tel que Ferruccio Busoni l'a ressenti et a traduit du violon au piano. Madame Valentina Lisitsa a l'intelligence et la sensibilité qui rendent cette pièce si complexe accesible à tous, et nous ouvre l'âme sur des horizons intérieurs et libérateurs. Mille mercis pour ce magnifique cadeau musical.
Valentina can play literally everything! From baroque to classical then to romantic and beyond with an incredibile ease and deep understanding and sensibility. She is one of the most gifted pianist of our time. God bless her! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️
j'écoute pour la deuxième fois depuis ce matin Chaconne, tel que vous nous la délivrez. Il n'y a pas de mot pour décrire toute l'émotion qu'on ressent à l'écoute de votre interprétation. C'est magnifique, splendide, sublime. Vous nous offrez un grand moment de musique dans sa plus majestueuse interprétation. Et Dieu sait qu'il y en a eu de belles par le passé, mais aucune ne dépasse la vôtre à mes yeux, vous jouez cette partition avec toute une palette de nuances nouvelles qui en font une version incontournable pour les amoureux de la grande musique. Merci Valentina.
Какое гармоничное, вычищенное от всего суетного и бренного, возвышенное исполнение... Нет слов, право. К тому ж, я всегда люблю смотреть на руки Валентины, такие эстетические "инструменты" для звуков!
Such control! This is no mortal feat. Totally blown away Lisitsa, you really are something. When you play Bach, it's like the heavens split open and God's glory rains down on us all. Thank you for sharing.
I have listened to many different versions of this piece by several well-known pianists, and this interpretation is by far the best. Valentina's playing is flawless, divine, transcendent. She plays with such heart and passion but also with great precision and control. Absolutely magnificent. She's an inspiration to us all.
+Stephanie Andre It seems similar, maybe influenced by, Nathan Milstein's great performance when he was 82.This Busoni transcription is devilishly difficult.
Try listening to Michelangeli, incomparable in the Chaconne, as I am sure Ms Lisitsa herself would agree. He was the very last stone at the top of the pyramid
leongatha6 is it? I am no professional pianist but I can play it ... Busoni's technique variations are very predictive to me.. anyways. the arpeggio section of the 1st part is quite demanding but I really don't think that "difficult" is fitting when referring to this piece.
I think lisitsa's is the most satisfying version I've heard. She's almost the most reliably brilliant, even if not always necessarily the best. This just sounds how I want to play it, however many years or centuries that may take
Each time I listen to this piece in particular I literally travel, I literally travel out of my present and go to beautiful places I can´t really describe, then I feel amazing and say to me "I will try to be a better person than I was yesterday" this music literally touch your soul, and I invite people to do the same, to go to one of the most beautiful places in this time, in this moment, to make this world better everyday. Greetings!!!!
Thank god it's back! Thank you Valantina for getting this incredible video recording back onto UA-cam. The best rendition ever of Busoni Chaconne by a remarkable woman.
Незабываемое исполнение: оно лучше всех! Ведь никто так не исполнил этот Шедевр! Замечательная Чаккона в исполнении Гениальной пианистки! ♥️♥️🌴♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is the most beautiful, luminous, and deepest expression of Bach Busoni Chaconne I’ve ever heard! Thank Valentina. I feel the soul of Bach would be delighted to hear your performance. You’ve got the essence of Chaconne-“Life is beautiful including sadness and happiness.” I think you can express Bach in harmony with the beauty of the spirit of this time.
My standard is Bach himself. Comparison is not essential. I love old performances by Youra Guller, Menuhin, Sigeti, Richiter, and so on. I also love and respect new young performers. Valentina is superb!
One of the few things which keep me alive. Une merveilleuse interprétation, sensible et maîtrisée sur un Boesendorfer par une très grande pianiste. Merci....It helps me much more than morphine,therapeutic cannabis and muscles relaxants....
Your first-person POV camera is a really great and original idea. I've never seen anything like this before. I am, once again, truly impressed by your talent, and I honestly hope to see you playing live someday.
Merci Valentina pour cette merveilleuse interprétation. Vous entrez ainsi dans le domaine de l'essentiel bien que les autres compositeurs magnifiques comme Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov… fassent partie des incontournables, mais Bach, même dans cette transcription de Busoni est du domaine du sublime. Vous en donnez une interprétation particulièrement belle, qui fera date. Vous entrez véritablement dans la cour des grands en mettant Jean-Sébastien Bach dans votre répertoire. Merci encore
La chaconne comme la grande passacaille raconte la création du monde et le récit de cette histoire. JS Bach fut le messager de cette grandiose destinée en l'exprimant de façon mystique. Valentina Listsa interprète ce chef d'œuvre absolu comme personne avec détermination et grâce.
Magnifique morceau que j'adore ! J'écoute et ré-écoute une grosse dizaine d'interprétations de cette Chaconne et je n'arrive pas à départager celle que j'aime le plus avec celle d'Hélène Grimaud. C'est vraiment le top !! Quel plaisir, quelle émotion ! Merci Mme Lisitsa, que du bonheur !!
I've watched this so many times, but it wasn't until now that I noticed Ms Lisitsa played the imaginary bass G that does not exist on an 88-key piano at 13:58. If only the piano was the Bosendorfer with extra bass keys!
I thought the same thing! I transposed the notes of my digital piano to imagine how it would sound on a Bösendorfer, somehow, Lisitsa makes those notes sound deeper, her playing is from another world, just amazing.
I think she is playing the high G with the thumb, and with the pinky she is hitting the black place of the piano(just near the A) . I , instead of the non-existed G key, played the A key with the high G , and it sounded as a clear octave (acoustic illusion)
@@ΚατεριναΜο She might also be hitting the G with the B flat, the piece is in D minor, so that note would be part of the scale and it would sound much deeper🤔
@@brayanjoel3580 You are so right! I hadn't thought it as an option! But, if she is hitting B flat, she must be using 4th finger, and I can see the pinky "hitting something" ! She may be hitting high G with the thumb, B flat with 4th(or even 3d ) finger, and the black little place of the piano (near the A key-the imaginary G ) with the pinky ! Hello from Greece and thanks for answering!
@@ΚατεριναΜο You are welcome! I love to have conversations like this. I saw the video again and you are the one who is right, it is an acoustic ilusion, have you heard Lisitsa's interpretation of this piece on AppleMusic? It is 18:08 minutes long and acording to the description of this video it was recorded on a Bösendorfer 280VC, the low octave sounds amazing, deeper that other pianos, it is part of her album "Valentina Lisitsa plays "J.S. Bach", I heard it with the best headphones I have and it is stunning! Her interpretations are always breathtaking. A big hug from Chile!
More than a great pianist, Valentina is such a wonderful person. I love her interviews as much as her performances because she is so warm and genuine and jovial. Thank you. Keep playing and being you.
I wish J.S. Bach could see and hear this, the modern instrument, the wonderful transcription by Busoni celebrating his piece, the perfect execution, done by a virtuoso woman. The guy would be stunned...
And another thing--anyone upset over the video need only close their eyes and listen carefully to Valentina's performance. And then laugh out loud at the negative comments you read here. Brava, VL.
This music is at the height of difficulty and she makes it look easy (well, almost). So much subtlety of expression, love the 'Quasi tromboni' at 7'30. Great music wonderfully well played. Have listened to this about a dozen times now. It just keeps getting better.......
@@Thiago-px9ev First of all, the pipe organ sure did have dynamic range, second of all, this piece JS Bach wrote for his first instrument, the violin. Plenty of dynamic range!
I could listen to you play for hours on end and not be bored for one second of it. You can feel the sheer volume of passion you have for the music and for the instrument itself and it's really gorgeous
well, i agree, but someone is missing. busoni, he has invested such a long time to transpose the violin piece masterfully into this piano set. his life's work, you could say.
И. С. Бах всегда был и будет моим самым любимым композитором, его музыка самая высокая и Божественная! Спасибо за произведение, от красоты этих звуков были муражки по коже!
La Chaconne di Bach è un Opera d'Arte meravigliosa e devo dire che anche al piano è altrettanto struggente poi suonata dalla Lisitsa non ci sono parole per descrivere tanta bellezza!
When I was young transcriptions were looked down upon! I am glad she is playing this lovely version of Bach's Chaconne! There is also a very cool version by Brahms for the left hand alone! I can't wait until Valentina plays it! She is a stunning musician and woman!
Wow, absolutely mesmerizing performance! There are no words to describe the power and beauty of your playing. It touches people somewhere deep in the soul. What a gift you have!
@@bagatellissimo i know i'm telling a stranger they're wrong on the internet, but i can attest that being able to learn pieces fast is a skill you can practice as well, along with memorization and sight reading! Valentina's repertoire practice alone is typically 4 hours long :)
Jones Heywire Despite agreeing entirely with you about an artist’s hard work over talent and the fact that hard work beats genius, I find it inadequate to talk about Valentina’s talent and hard work and stating the utter truth of one over the other whilst not knowing her personally and what her saying is about that.
@@renysand I've heard Valentina say that she has a photographic memory which would make memorising music much easier for her than for anyone not blessed with such a faculty. She also mentioned that it can be problematic if there is a mistake in the score because then if she is not careful she ends up playing the wrong note as that is what has been "photographed" into her brain.
This has to be the best Bach-Busoni D Minor Chaconne rendition on UA-cam. Your talent is unrivalled, at best, and sublime at worst. You has even managed to make Bach sound human! Never had I thought that a Piano Rendition of the Chaconne would pull at my heartstrings, better than the original Violin version would. The Violin version is fine, with the virtuosi like Itzhak Perlman and Jascha Heifetz indulging in a lot of rubato and embellishments and trying so-very-hard to make us cry. It amuses me. You, on the other hand, have played it just like it was intended to, if not better. Perhaps, if Bach had known a Steinway Grand in his day, and knew his work could be performed by you, he would not have bothered to write the piece for violin at all. Thank you, for making my day :-)
I love the Busoni transcription. It's as though you are actually hearing all the rest of the music that Bach implied in the original. Very impassioned piece.
I don't know where I've had my head for the past 10 years, but Valentina...you really make me swoon when I listen to anything and everything you do. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Fantastique! Bravo!
Fazioli Lover Well, the transcription is by Busoni (1866-1924), so the piece is a little "modernized" in the piano version, that's why it's full of emotion
You are of course recognized as an absolutely spceial Bach interprerator. But on top of that you are so a loveable total work of art that i miss words to express. Fantastic what you can do. I love your soul!!
Дорогая Валентина! Уже больше года слушая Вас испытываю истинное наслаждение. За это время стал горячим почитателем Вашего таланта. Простота в сочетании с выдающимися способностями - не это ли верные признаки гениальности. Я горд, что именно в моём Отечестве родились такие выдающиеся мастера как Г. и С. Нейгаузы, В. Софроницкий, С. Рихтер, М.Плетнёв, В.Ашкенази, Д.Мацуев, В. Лисица, Ю. Авдеева. Я всех Вас очень люблю и желаю Вам здоровья, чтобы Вам достало сил и дальше прославлять нашу Родину. С любовью Вадим Росин.
Thanks for your generosity to those of us who cannot be there. Presenting us with this is a beautiful gift! I love you and your music! Hugs from Argentina!
Love You Valen !!!! Superb.. You give all in music.. Your soul is wright there !!! I love that from You.. Thank you for existing in this world.!!!!!!!!!! THANKSSSSS
Had the opportunity to see you yesterday in Casa da Musica here in Portugal, the feeling of watching walk in was beyond imaginable, Thank you for what you do, honestly and I want to see you here more often
Fortunately I was there too. I loved the third encore: Lizst's Hungarian Rhapsody number 12. An angel enjoyed himself on the keyboard through her fingers.
Hola Valentina. Es hermoso ver cuanta emoción has generado en estos pocos años. Sin duda eres el caso más especial en internet. Te admira, respeta y quiere tanta gente. (yo me incluyo, por supuesto). Dios te ha dado el don de la música y tú cumples siendo la mejor pianista.
That was beautiful! It amazes me how someone can memorize pieces like this and still play with passion and subtlety. Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this :)
I can watch this woman play the piano for hours. It's like there's an itch somewhere in my brain and she knows just how and where to scratch.

Из всех современных пианистов Валентина Лисица меня впечатляет больше всех, именно её исполнение.
This rendition of the Chaconne was awesome. It brought glandular secretions from the eyes. Seriously, it was simply beautiful.
Your first-person POV camera is a really great and original idea. I've never seen anything like this before. I am, once again, truly impressed by your talent, and I honestly hope to see you playing live someday.

Пані Валентино, дуже дякую за чудове виконання! Бравіссімо!
Speechless. It simply doesn't get any better than this interpretation. Thank you so much, Valentina!
Valentina's dynamics on the piano are like Mark Knopfler's on guitar. Perfect.
At moments, she really carresses gently, but so gently the piano and at others, she totally pulverize it! Fantastic!!!

Das ist eine unglaublich starke virtuose Leistung. Meine Hochachtung von diesem "Engel". Sie gehört zu meinen Favoriten.
Première fois que je vois Vanetina jouer du Bach... J'espère que cela ne sera pas la dernière. Bravo Valentina.
This interpretation is an emotional roller coaster. A real journey through the feelings. My respect for such an extraordinary talent.

I've read that he did get to play some of the new pianos in his last years, and gave them his approval.

Your talent is unrivalled, at best, and sublime at worst. You has even managed to make Bach sound human!
Never had I thought that a Piano Rendition of the Chaconne would pull at my heartstrings, better than the original Violin version would.
The Violin version is fine, with the virtuosi like Itzhak Perlman and Jascha Heifetz indulging in a lot of rubato and embellishments and trying so-very-hard to make us cry. It amuses me.

The best performance of Bach/Busoni Chaconne ever!
powerfull and so mystic, great interpretation
thank you , THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been waiting for this since Liszt's Totentanz!

Thank dear Valentina for this wonderful interpretation. Your musicality and virtuosity leave me speechless. BRAVO
Lo más sublime de Bach, hermosa pieza y bravo a Lisitsa por este hermoso regalo
Awesome. Thank you, Valentina.

Playing even high-end repertoire seems so effortless and natural for you!
I love the Busoni transcription. It's as though you are actually hearing all the rest of the music that Bach implied in the original. Very impassioned piece.
It's my serious hope that I can make my listeners feel the way I feel when I hear you play this piece. Awesome, Valentina!

Brilliant. This is one of my favorite Bach pieces.
Thank you Valentina for another excellent performance.

Hola Valentina. Es hermoso ver cuanta emoción has generado en estos pocos años. Sin duda eres el caso más especial en internet. Te admira, respeta y quiere tanta gente. (yo me incluyo, por supuesto). Dios te ha dado el don de la música y tú cumples siendo la mejor pianista.
Bravissimo! Stunning performance. Broad, deep voice of the piano makes it feel like telling a story in music.
I have listened/watched this many times as well as all of Valentina’s Rachmaninov. Genius!!❤
12:46 - 13:10 way more stunning than the other recordings I've listen to
a nice and incredible talented girl, I wish her eternal life on youTube :-) and a long life
Fantastica Valentina Lisitsa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
