Amazing. Would love to see more pianists post the piano only portions of concertos... allows us to hear things we didn't hear before!
Valentina Lisitsa is one of the five greatest pianists in the world. Perfect technique and refined interpretation. Congratulations.
Rachmaninov is deceptively clever the way he hides the melody under all those notes.
+Jenny Mae Yeah, Especially from 8:00-8:45, I totally made up the orchestra part in my head! I didn't know that a piano concerto "solo" can be this interesting to listen to!
Many of his works contain "hidden melodies". That makes it fun to listen to them over and over again and every time you discover something new.
It’s also an interpretive feat as well
The main theme of this concert , so romantic, so sweeping, must be the most beautiful piano music ever composed....... and this solo version with Valentina enhances the pleasure even more since we can appreciate the nuances in the piano score. It just lifts my soul...like the great concerts by Beethoven.
I used to watch the first movement before big bio/chem exams during college (2009 era). It always prepared me for battle.

what do you mean used to? you should still watch it whenever!
then he'd have to retake his exams
@@vincents.8447 LOL YEP!!! Back 4 years later, still relistening.
i do exactly that for bio and chem exams nearly 15 years later 😂
One of the most beautiful melodies ever written is in your hands, Valentina.
It's such an amazing performance. Her force is really unbelievable and her clarity unique!
The greatest composition of all time
If this came out 14 years ago, the video has held up exceptionally well.
I've adored this piece forever, but I've never been able to pick through the intricacies of the chords like this. Truly, truly phenomenal.
I love Valentina for posting this. That's all. I've watched this soooooo many times it's crazy.
+EpigeneticAlteration ^^^^^^^^^^^^^Yesssssssss
it's amazing, her playing makes me feel as if i would hear the whole orchestra. this music really leads to forget everything around you and dream. people, love honor and admire this great composer!
Brilliant. So good to hear just the piano. Rach is just romance and perfection.
قمة الروعة والإحساس الدافئ والذوق الراقي واناملك تنساب كالموج فوق مفاتيح البيانو انا اعشقك واعشق عزفك واحساسك المرهف ورغم أن هناك الكثير جدا من العازفات في العالم ولكن تبقين إنت في نظري الأولى على العالم ولك مني كل الحب والتقدير
I usually put those videos to study while I listen to them... I swear I really thought I could turn my eyes out and study.
ME TOO ^^^^^^^^^Damn its near impossible
Yeah!! You just watch to them!!! :D
She's plays with such fluidity, it's absolutely amazing.
thank you valentina for making those beautiful and greats interpretations
This is absolutely brilliant, Valentina. Such a joy to experience the purity of your musicianship and art expressing Rachmaninoff in this way. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you!
I absolutely love how at 7:45 Valentina plays F and A at the top of the quasi glissando instead of F and D like it says in the score. So much brighter and more exciting, and it feels like a resolution from the Ab in the opening quasi gliss.
Valentina, as best as I can recall, said she carefully studied the recordings of Rachmaninoff’s performances on his concertos. She has stated that sometimes the score and the recording differ, she always goes for the recordings way over the score I believe in an effort to replicate Rachmaninoff’s style in his playing.
Thank you for these videos, so awesome to hear the parts clearly on a real instrument.
You have to be in awe of this amazing talent,and commitment to her art, without a doubt the best I have ever heard in my 69 years,
Love the triumphant ending of this piece. This concerto cures my depression. Despite at an very early level of piano, I am now practicing this piece. Hope I can perform it someday :)
How are you progressing with it?
It is really eye opening to hear this concerto (a favorite of mine) without the orchestra. So many nuances that are brought to light. I will never listen to a "full" rendition the same way again. Thanks Ms Lisitsa!
Valentina, bless your heart! Fabulous! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much Valentina for the concerti solo versions!Please upload more!!
Wonderful!
And a part from how wonderfully Valentina Lisitsa plays this, it's incredible! I know this concerto practically by heart because I've heard it so many times, and while she plays, it's like if I can hear the orchestra in my head!
Even without the orchestra, it's one of the best Rach 2 I've heard...
Absolutely sublime
Love seeing and hearing the solo piano. Always instructive. Insight to Rach's techniques.
Bravo! Thank you for uploading this video!
Just astounding! Gorgeous fluid playing!
I had the most distinct and wonderful pleasure of being at her concert in Saint Petersburg,Fl. last night, I was overwhelmed by her incredible talent. She becomes part of the piano when she plays, so seemless; her hands are like feathers floating on the keys and then can transform into the most powerful tools of expression! I am very grateful for the chance to witness this live, I highly recommend attending one of her concerts.
I have been waiting for years to hear only the soloist in this and other piano concertos. I discovered hundreds of notes I never heard before. And what a performance! More please!
The ending of this piece where the pianist really has to play their whole heart into it, each chord as loud as possible 7 times for emphasis, is the purest moment in all of classical music to me
My goodness. It's so natural. You're amazing. My motivation to play piano has been renewed. I hope that some day I can play what you play.
this is amazing, I love the way you play!!
this master class pianist exposes every bit of emotion from each piece she performs - Brava!
The most marvelous thing is that, at times, I was certain to hear the orchestra. Valentina, your powers of persuasion are immense.
I just LOVE watching you play!
Listening to just your piano is good indeed. We're never bored.
Your are a Goddess of piano!!
What a unique experience...with the orchestra playing in my mind and Valentina ever so masterfully in the piano...it just blows me away to Neverland!!!
Valentina ***********
Wonderful set performance ! Brava
Thank you so much for this marvelous gift.

Hello , Valentia Lista I am listening classicals you are present about 7 years or more before. I am practicing Piano day and night. I try the best I can, I think I am not look like you. You are the great pianist. All most people here . They are pianist. Thanks so much
This is my favorite movement on Concert 2!
I so love her strength and power combined with dexterity, crispness, fluidity and gentle touch when called for. I'm twittering and FB'ing her videos almost every day. The long slim fingers of course help but there's lots of long fingers out there with no talent or soul like that of this pianist.
Superb performance - love it.
Valentina is wonderful as always and excellent camera work.
I love this concerto, and it's really interesting to hear the piano part without the orchestra.
Thanks for sharing this video.
Superb phrasing and technique...and your passion....thank you!
perfection at it's highest …. superb
Lady Rachmaninov fantastica !!! Tu hai vinto
simply amazing.
wow!!!! what a sound, it´s so good played, and inspired. You are incredible.
so much voices you otherwise never hear! thanks for posting.
I am humbled by your skill, talent, and passion. You are super-human.
Absolutely wonderful performance!
those fingers just fall on the keys like asteroids
Coda begins at 8:00 but you should listen to the entirety of this amazing piece me in the future!
Does she sleep on or in the piano?
Wow 😒
Does she sleep on or in the piano? What an incredibly stupid question
***** i heard her mention that she can practice up to 18 hours a day so yeah, probly.
no, Ang Li...I think she sleeps with it...absolutely priceless and fantastic!!!!

I had the privilege of watching this amazing pianist play this piece with the San Francisco Symphony orchestra on July 8, 2011. In the process of learning more about Valentina Lisitsa, I stumbled across this video, as well as the ones for movements 1 and 2. Thank you, Valentina, for offering this very wonderful way to view and enjoy this amazing piano score in a unique, focused, context.
Valentina: you´re perfect!!! Thank you
brilliante brilliante! blows me away!
Gosh! It was fantastic! Bravo~~~
Comment from an independent observer, who is a well trained pianist & good amateur musician (not myself !):
"..that was truly amazing - her fingers seem to be 10 instruments in their own right. And she's so matter of fact, she makes it look easy! How can anyone make Rach's #2 look easy?! What a talent."
We agree, Valentina never ceases to amaze !
Rachmaninoffs 2nd Piano Concerto is the only song that I’ve listened to for over a year and have not gotten sick of.
Magistral interpretación de Lisitsa!!
Beautiful job!
Superb!!!!
this are gonna be really helpful when i come to learning this concerto! thank you very much! I may learn the piano orchestral part and play along to this for fun and claim that i've played with Valentina Lisitsa :)!
beautiful, well done!
Very well done!!! Bravo!!!!!
☼ Thank YOU!!! ☼
Not only 8:41 is epic, the whole package is just incredible. Really unbelievable. And great to hear it without the orchestra. It really shows how incredible difficult Rach is.
Awesome. I can't wait for the 4th! Heard your performance years and years ago with the FL Philharmonic, and thought it was wonderful!
It's just so romantic and beautiful...
wow...this is amazing!
love.... I can also feel the orchestra, spectacural
