I am a great admirer of Valentina Lisitsa, who I was lucky enough to hear live in Avellino, Italy, a few years ago. Even though there were only a few of us at the Cimarosa Conservatory, Valentina played divinely, like the great professional she is. In the recent, difficult years, I had the opportunity to appreciate her not only as a great pianist, but also as a woman, on the occasion of the absurd boycott that the Western world decreed against Russia, including its great musical culture, guilty of having defended its borders and its own identity from intrusiveness of the Americans and their colonies. I remember with emotion the concert in Milan, where she reminded the world, in full boycott, of the great Russian piano school and Rachmaninov's Genius. Thank you, Valentina. I really hope to have another opportunity to listen to you live, perhaps in a large theatre, when this incivility will be over and we will be able again to appreciate culture regardless any flags or sense of belonging.
I have come to the conclusion that Valentina Lisitsa is a force of nature.
We love you Valentina. We support you by all means.
I have been a huge Valentina fan since the first videos and recordings. What strikes me about this Brahms collection is how once again just the right pieces are performed with a truly personal passion at just the right time. And these are pieces all too commonly performed without conviction.. Valentina Lisitsa has been such a marvelous gift to so many of us!
I like this pianist very much. In fact she is one of my favorites.
How i love this pianist. She is the best!
Such an amazing artist! No kind of censorship can overshadow the bright star Valentina Lisitsa is! Thank you very much for your music and your determination.
She knows what it is to conduct the music at the highest level !! She own great musical talent - but also the deepest knowledge !! Look, listen and learn from this video!!
Mrs. Valentina Lisitsa is surely one of the greatest Performer of our time and an Icon in style.
Brahms is special.
Really good as always. Brahms is criminally underrated.
wonderfully intimate piano playing. These pieces may not be all that technically difficult (certainly not for Valentina) but musically they are not easy to pull off and can sound rather dull in some pianists hands. But not here. Beautifully mature balanced artistic playing. She has found the heart of the music and the soul of one of the greatest composers ever.
The Intermezzo in A major is absolutely stunning!
Exquisite! Stunning touch, countless expressive insights, and a melting legato that illuminates Brahms creative genius.A living legend in her prime.
With Thanksgiving Day coming this Thursday in the U.S., one has to be grateful to the good Lord for the gift of music. And for the artists who bring it to us in all its sublime beauty and vivacious passion. Bravo Valentina!
Valentina, you are such a gifted and generous artist and the greatest treasure you share with us is your spirit which shines through in every note played.
Wow Valentina, what a magical and intimate performance!! I loved having a "front row seat" to listen to your great interpretation and perfect performance of these legendary Brahms works!!! This is so beautifully filmed and the lighting is perfect to create just the right ambiance!! I also appreciate the fact that you separated each piece in your info box so they can be played "at will". As you know, you are my favorite female pianist in the world today and every performance is a special treat for me!! BRAVO!!! ~Jackie
I heard this masterpieces of Brahms for many years and played by incredible performers like Arthur Rubinstein or Horowitz, so I realize the kind of technical perfection they demand. Said this, the performance of Valentina shows not only her knowledge of this music but also her love for it. I could be listening her for hours!!
She does not 'play' music, SHE IS THE MUSIC.
Valentina is my favorite female pianist of our day. Her interpretations and tempos are superb. I appreciate that she knows how to dress appropriately unlike some female artists today that have to go on stage half naked. Valentina Lisitsa doesn't need to use sex appeal to attract viewers.
