Enjoy our beloved Valentina Lisitsa in this Oscar-winning performance as best soundtrack!
My dad loved this, and wanted so much to learn it, but he was not a pianist and never did, but he would sit at the piano for hours playing the parts that he knew. Now every time i hear it, I listen and think of him.
That is beautiful ☺️
It's amazing how music unlocks memory.
God bless his sole , always pray for him and he will hear you from the heavens .. Try it
Whoever allowed a commercial to interrupt this incredible display of human excellence should be forced to endure 12 uninterrupted hours of Barry Manilow.
Get an ad blocker. I see zero ads on UA-cam now. Or Facebook or anywhere really. Great investment.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This pianist has a profound feeling for this piece, and it makes a huge difference in the music's effect. Her interpretation is vastly more lyrically expressive and dramatic than any other on UA-cam.
...I should note that the conductor is superb as well.
I have no one to share this with, but this brings me to tears.
A testament to the heroism of the Polish people. Against all odds they fought for what was right. We could all learn something todayl from their deep conviction and belief. Bravo!!
This actually was written for a film at the time called "Dangerous Moonlight", which was about a Polish concert pianist who was a double agent. During the climax of this story he was supposed to play this piece. IRL Poland adopted this piece as a tribute.
This has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written! And this arrangement with the Proms and Valentina Lasitsa is just spectacular! Gorgeous in every way! Brings out every emotion, sadness, great happiness, a bitter sweet feeling and finally that of triumph! No piece of music has this same effect!
👍👏👏👏
She has ancestry that includes Polish. No wonder she plays this work with so much understanding ! I was in the Warsaw ghetto in 1959, before it was restored, I can see those images when I listen to Valentina !
This right here is the best version I have ever heard!
I enjoy the piano sheet music much better for this masterpiece without an orchestra. Probably because my mother was a concert pianist and she played this SO beautifully at home, I was always crying at the end even if I was studying. I miss her beyond words.😢
This lady to my ear plays this most beautful piece I have folled for over 50 yrs...noboty to my ear has interpreted appropriately but she I feell Addisels true interpreter,he tone,ryhham, finger work..immaculate,her poise of orchestra lead..pure wondrous...Valentina is a most ovious Maesto...unsurpassrd her interperation of every note & mode...inspiring..all seems as She wrote it herself...a Monserrat Cabille of my beloved piano...genious..Warm wishes & huge Musical rrspect Valentine...Wow,wow,wow! John Tipperary Iteland..Fashion is fleeytng, but your most certainly will endure...Maesto..such a pleasure to hear & watch your fingers move like magic...Unbeliveable..* your interpretation of a beloved peace..Anderse's ..Prodigy!..brings tears!! John
How can people dare dislike this ?
Music is always good , wonderful !
NO
by mistake....
Stupid frustrated people without level
It's easy, a lot of stupid people in the world.
I Love "La Divina VALENTINA" Every one single rendition of those BEAUTIFUL and GIFTED Hands!!! She's THE ONE!!! Valentina FOREVER!!!
I watch and listen to this and I have no doubt this is the pinnacle of mankind. There are no greater achievements than this.
What a ridiculous and untruthful statement.
This is a nice pastiche of Rachmaninoff for a movie theme, not a formal concerto. If you wish to call anything a greatest piecenof music, at least mention Rach 2nd or 3rd piano Concerto. Or if you want to point to a pinnacle of mankind, at least mention Bach, Beethovan, or Mozart.

One of the most beautiful classic music ever
Every time I listen to it, I chuckle. This is a truly good imitation of Rachmaninoff style, hands down, Addinsell knew his business.
It´s easy to watch a bullfight from the stands...
Rach turned the job down. Addinsell took it and out Rach'ed Rach.
I believe Addinsell stated that Rachmaninoff was his inspiration for this composition.
I thought Richard Addisell was a movie music composer when the director asked him to write a tune for the movie and to make it sound like Rachmaninoff. He surely succeeded.
and yet on its own merit it is a masterpiece
Valentina, you are God’s gift to mankind. Thank the Lord.
Superlativa Valentina, tu rendi tutte le tue interpretazioni qualcosa di straordinario ed indimenticabile.
Whatever Valentina plays and where she plays it is always done with absolute perfection and emotion. She is brilliant . I could listen to her play without end and I basically do!! 💕
If you listen to this great performance and watch photos of Warsaw after the Nazi attacks, a dramatic contrast appears....musical beauty and destruction. Valentina Lisistsa is a virtuosa.......very sensible.
Since I was a child I have enjoyed Classical Music, specially Rachmaninoff, this so called concerto, (which is not really a formal concerto), has always facinated me, I had no idea why; until I learned that Addinsell was requested to write some music for a movie, (Dangerous Moonlight), "in the style of Rachmaninoff". I cannot stop listening to it.
This is a beautiful piece played superbly by a gifted pianist. Absolutely faultless.
I agree. Valentina Lisitsa is my favorite pianist. I love everytbung she plays.
Mine too, I Love "La Divina Valentina"!!!
Wow, that just blew me away. What a wonderful set of emotional melodies woven together. Just pure emotion. Amazing how subtle some sections are, and how powerful others are. 👏 Big applause for this lovely performance. Brings a tear to my eye that we can't see this now, with Covid going on. I'd give over $500 to sit in that audience for an hour and a half, to hear music like this tonight.
Nice to see the finished product after watching her Addinsell practice video. Great job!👏🎹
what a beautiful woman! what a talent!
Very beautiful Valentina, I love this theme alot!...
Tht music blows me away…and wonderful Valentina adds magic to the magic, so absolutely involving!
Warsaw most likely the most beautiful Concerto ever written played by Valentina Lisitsa one of the most talented Pianists in the World . It just doesn't get much better than this. It's just such a disappointment Martha Argerich or Yuja Wang have never played this , that would be spectacular .
Probably because they feel a movie theme is beneath their level of seriousness. Warwar Concerto was written in the style of Rachmaninoff as background music for the movie Dangerous Moonlight, so it is not a formal concerto and not recognized as a canon of classical repertoire.
Es war das Lieblingsstück meines verstorbenen Vaters.
Listen to this wonderful rendition at least once a week. Just superb!
So haunting to my soul. I shall love it always 💞🥰
This has been one of my favourite pieces of music since I first heard it in the movie Dangerous Moonlight.
Much better. A masterpiece.
❤ I’ve watched this video performance at least once a day for about three months.........absolutely love it !!!
Magnifique!!!j'ai eu toutes les sensations pour finir au sommet.
Stunning, beautiful.
Superb rendition of the piece. Beautifully performed!
Excellent all round.
This is such an emotional piece for me as it was film music for a World War II movie, Dangerous Moonlight . To listen to Miss Lisitsa is a gift. To watch her face validates all my feelings! Thank you so much for sharing this. And of all things: Keith Lockhart is conducting! I’m a Boston fan.
Es precisamente, más que un concierto, un tema soberbio escrita para la película "El escuadrón suicida"
My late partner Rex adored this peice of music, he had a recording of it that he bought in his teens. I had this played at his funeral, it's beautiful and moving too.
@@valeriebaker9512he sounded special. Sorry for your loss. There’s a group of us GM who find this so compelling. I hope it still brings you sonething
I heard this piece for the first time ever on the radio this morning. I didn't know what it was or who wrote it. Initially I thought it just HAD to be by Gershwin (there are some VERY Gershwin-esque moments in there!).
What an amazing concerto. Fell in love with it immediately!... and then to find this version played by Valentina!!!! ❤
Precioso e impecable interpretación.
Felicidades.!!!
Love this...
Concerto de Addinsell
Lisitsa is the best...
Sure is a great piece!!!!
Magnifique interprétation...!..pour moi ça a toujours été un rêve de jouer ça...l'hyper-romantisme!...fougue, passion, intensité de l'émotion, quelle partition de génie inspiré !...
Brava!
Excellent!
Many would say that this was music for its time. I don't say that - just think of those times and control the lump in your throat.
stupendous!
One of best concerts in the world for piano. I love it
Lisitsa is brilliant as always here. Just a pity the applause were cut from this performance.
Cortaron la última nota, su eco en el ambiente, y la ovación de pié del final.
One of best piece of classic music by Addinsel i love it give me goosebumps.
Cualquiera que venga a escuchar a Valentina, es referencia de su Buen Gusto!!! Ella es lo Máximo en la historia del PIANO!!!
Una musica inolvidable y una maravillosa interpretacion.
I DO love her... damn! :)
Mind blowing
My Dad told me once this was played on Polish radio in the early days of World War Two. Once the Nazis took over this music vanished from the airwaves.
Valentina 👏👏👏
Bravissima
awesome loved it
I realy like Warsaw Concerto for piano solo
ما اجملك وما اروعك يا فالنتينا يا ملكة الإحساس
Every time I hear this concerto I think about the film called The Pianist ! A very sad story a pianist who escaped the roundup of Jews in WW2 in Warsaw ! A Nazi officer and music lover he became a fried who helped the pianist escape the concentration camps and eventually into the safety of the allies at the end of the war! The Israel war cematries hold a monument about the German officer who saved the pianist! He is the only German as far as I know who was decorated for bravery! Maybe Schindlers list was awarded as well! I can’t remember names but it is a true story and a gripping film! Fraser.
bravo
Superbe; !
Val is so romantic, I love her so much
I think we all remember when she recorded herself starting to learn this.
I wonder (rhetorically) if an actual concerto exists behind this movie score?
One of the first classical pieces I heard, and loved, as a kid. Sure it's lightweight and schmaltzy, but it's still beautiful. I love Valentina. She has a UA-cam segment where she is learning/sight-reading the work. Unfortunately, to my ears, she and this conductor were not in sync in this performance.
Her immedesimation is totalistic here. The orchestra supplies a sufficient background but it is her who arises the quality of this aeternal love theme to authentic artistry goals , spheres, aims and aspirations.She's really Superb!
@@mariogenesi5715 This is certainly true!!!!
Even if it was a Russian who made this monumental concerto (my folks came from Poland)
it is my favorite and a magnificent interpretation ce n'est pas?
+Walter Jams I should have mentioned that 'Clare de lune'
Is my second favorite!
Richard Addinsell was a British composer, not Russian.
Paper music doesn't change that's why the repros sound so original!!
The score was written to imitate Rachmaninoff and she/the conductor and orchestra pull it off! It kind of is a “fluff” piece but fun to play and has been a favorite in our popular culture. Glad she has made a career for herself….well deserved
Clarinet squeak at 6:08
Cracks me up!
Poor clarinet player, I heard it. It is funny though.
I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed 😂😂
🤣
I suppose that the author of this comment has NEVER squeaked on HIS clarinet. Get a life, man!
Красивая музык а, красивая игра
Un hermoso reconocimiento al heroísmo del Ghetto de Varsovia que debe ser recordado por toda la eternidad...
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Faux Rach but still very good faux Rach. Valentina of course plays this with her usual spectacular fashion, lovingly lingering over each note allowing each one to develop into a gorgeous melody. Although this was composed as a movie music accompaniment, Addinsell knew enough Rach to prepare a beautifully composed pastiche evoking the themes from Rach's 2nd.
very nice sound probably in clarinets in 6:08 :)
Or maybe a piano string just snapped
@@st3alth12345 Definitely not that, a broken string sounds like thunder, now like a squeaking bird
Maybe the clarinettist just farted.
Lmao😂. I went back because I wouldn't believe my ear that I heard that in such a beautiful recording.
JOLANDA TI AMO SEMPRE. ...
🌹🌹🌹😘
It's awkward to see wondershare stuck in the center of the screen. Is it a right display?
I wonder as well!!!!
UAUUU!!!
Uma de minhas frustrações é ter deixado de tocar piano
Start again
One can really feel the beauty of this Russian city.
Isn't Warsaw in Poland?
Its the Capital of Poland Warsaw.
A wonderful performance, indeed. It’s just a pity about the offensive and in-your-face wndershare logo in the middle of the screen. I won’t download the video because of it.
She reminds me of Cecil Licad.
That is how the rest of the World knew Polish freedom was no more.
My version is better quality, unfortunately the logo has remained so to download the video I used a demo version = (
Thanks I enjoyed it just the same. nothing is perfect.
Anyone else get The Godfather theme vibe here in particular from the second film.
흑백영화의 인상적인 장면이 떠오르는 작품
압도
No Sound!!!! Why?
Como pueden cortar el video antes que se termine de escuchar el eco de la última nota, y sobre todo, la ovación que seguramente siguió. ??? Una vergüenza
Re Spikes wartime reminiscing the " bloody awful Warsaw Concerto"
I have nothing top say
No sound and who is responsible ?
Guess my ears didnt fail me....SQUEAK!!!
no sound
My heart goes out to Ukraine
cto pour silence ????
8:47 minutes of kitsch, perfect for cinema audiences who'd never heard a real piano concerto before.
You do your arrogance full justice.
Mi querido parásito critico, produces el placer de un prurito con tu comentario.
Great anti-fascist music. A tribute to Polish heroism.
I think her better performance is:
