This little piece is the best answer to all those "music critics", self-proclaimed experts and other snobs who throughout the years and years belittled, ignored or attacked Liszt music as primitive kitsch designed to pander to primitive tastes of gullible public.
What can be closer to perfection than these few pages sparsely "populated" with few notes , easy enough for any amateur to tackle - yet profound and comforting to turn to in the moment of quiet happiness and contemplation - or in the moment of utter hopelessness and despair? - Hudba
This was my piano teacher's favorite piece and now God has taken her to heaven this morning. I hope she is listening to this right now❤💔
You know she is ❤️
but if shes dead, how could she have heard?
@@josee.sauceda8790 She is in heaven🤗
She's listening to Liszt play it himself :)
Eppure io sento in questa consolazione come ol
her hands moves like swan wings
absolutely wonderful performance
I hate it lol but I like her sound
Her hands are flying….❤
This is quite possibly the best performance of this piece I’ve ever heard.
Lang Lang played it better imho :-)
Horowitz playing this is just as good as her as well. Look for the video that has sheet music on the thumbnail and lasts 4:26.
I really appreciate Barenboim's performance
"Learned in less than an hour". I took me exactly 5 minutes to listen to it. Then another 55 minutes to listen to it 11 times more. We are even now.
when you average all the hours she needed to practice to be able to learn this piece in 5 minutes, I'd say you were even a while ago. This shit's hard man
One of the best examples of the healing powers of classical music. It looks into the heart, sees all, understands all and forgives all in a few short minutes, both a balm and a benediction.
There's a very sharp division between the private Liszt and the public Liszt as expressed in his music, more so than with any other composer. It seems critics tend to disregard the former and attack the latter.
I love Franz Liszt. Liszt is Liszt. No one is like him. None of other's music is like his. I hate it when people say that Liszt's music is lack of unique characteristics. You do great job to prove it. Thank you!
He was a "rock star" in his day.
This is music from the heavens. Blessed are we who can hear it for all its beauty! Thank you Valentina.
I love her taste, and she to.so simple and friendly.
Pianonine G was
Heaven,nothing less. Soul touching artistry!
Yeah
Tellement beau un rêve!
I watch this piece 20 times a day, It is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard in my life. So beautiful
"Consolation" Liszt's - is a true masterpiece of the composer, an incredibly beautiful work performed by the magnificent pianist Valentina Lisitsa with excellent taste, the highest professionalism and absolute depth of understanding and musicality. . .🙏🙏🙏
with liszt, it's all about the person playing and being able to picture and write a story along with the music. his music carries you in a way that you really have to appreciate and valentina interpreted it so well. you can tell that whenever she plays, she always seems to carry an emotion with it. liszt really tends to put emotion in his pieces whether it be anger, sadness, happiness, you always feel it with him. thank you, valentina for playing this piece so beautifully!
I always compliment every artist to give them my best encouragement, but Valentina is my heartfelt favorite, and THE BEST pianist in modern times!
Liszt would have been thrilled about this creative interpretation :-). V.L., a uniquely talented piano player with much empathy.
Oceanborn Pacific
But the composer is always in a higher level
This piece simply grabs your attention and emotion if really listened to it for the first time. One of my most favorite Liszt' piano pieces.
Madame Lisitsa joue tellement..... léger ( mais ce n'est pas vraiment le mot). Comme une musique venue du paradis. Magnifique performance. Merci.
Her fingers do not merely play, but carress the keys... hence, this tender and exquisite performance.
How wonderful! ... And it's only Valentina and her piano.
davidhertzberg I find that to be the most irritating part of her playing. I don't understand the finger theatrics, just play the music and be done with it. Its not visually appealing at all!
MDkid1 I am no expert, but from what I have read about technique, those are not theatrics. There is most certainly a way of depressing the keys to obtain the desired effect. Others more knowledgeable may wish to comment. regards
davidhertzberg
iIthink you are correct.
Speakingas a very mediocre pianist stroking the keys enables a very soft precise sound to be producd.
This is especpially true on a piano where the keys are not so free.
though as I write I also think if the keys are very free then downward pressure may well produce too loud a sound.
+LittleMissTotoro yeah you get that with Russian school mostly, they insist a lot on this part and especially on scales and arpeggios with amazing results of course :-)
I know I have succeeded in life should I ever master this piece like Valentina. I have looked everywhere but no other version touches me so deeply like this one. None.
Giving that prelude the respect it deserves. It's the most beautiful thing...I'll be working on it for the next 20 years to try and play it like this.
Your hands gliding, caressing the piano keys is simply hypnotic! Add to that the incredible beauty you bring out in each piece just blows me away. Thank you for sharing your remarkable gift with us.
@Valerie O'Brien Sourpuss lol
@Valerie O'Brien Going nowhere? Kind of like your comment!
@@Ace1King1 She hasn't put a link to her rendition which went somewhere though, lol!
This song just touches my heart. There is something I feel inside when I hear this song I can't explain it but it warms my heart.
C'est la meilleure interprétation de Consolation N° 3 que j'ai entendue jusqu'à présent car on entend bien le jeu de la main gauche, et aussi le rubato, ce qui n'est pas le cas de la plus part des autres pianistes écoutés dans ce beau morceau de Liszt. Donc, félicitations à vous Valentina et un grand merci pour le partage. Un régal, vraiment !
Je vous rejoins total effectivement est formidable cette pianiste
Breathtaking, transcendent beauty. Thank you, Ms. Lisitsa!
I love this. You play with feeling and grace. I have some of your CDs and really appreciate them but what a pleasure it is to see you play. On every track your hands perform a musical ballet.There is just such a feast of information on the video I find myself returning constantly. Don't take any notice of the critics who sometimes grandstand about you, you are a star, a positive and giving musical presence.
I have listened to as many interpretations of this piece as I can possibly find and this one is still my favorite by far. Just perfect.
As Horowitz said about music, “controlled emotion”.
Beautiful!
you touch the piano keys like rose petals flying in the air ....... of a wonderful lightness. congratulations for your great talent.
Valentina; we are all so blessed to see these videos, you dont simply play the piano, you make love to it! Your soul's feelings for the music are clearly shown in this remarkable photography of how your hands caress the keys so beautifully.
Thank you for giving the world something really unique!
Great comment....i Love you.....
Such a free melody interpretation. Absolutely gorgeous.
It is beautiful music. I love her touch and sensitivity. Thank you Valentina.
As has been said of Rachmaninoff, Liszt must be a great composer because he refuses to go away.
to go away ?
🤷♂️
Lucas Teks I think he means for a man of his time and occupation he lived a very long life
This piece just makes me want to cry.... it's so beautiful.
Dear Teacher,
I think you've learned it in less than ten minutes and then, you gave it another 45 minutes to perfect every detail.
Your execution is beautiful: you've utilized a very delicate touch and pauses that come both from your soul.
For the first time after 25 years, in this period of my life, I started again to play the piano and I chose this wonderful consolation as a first step: your performance is, for me, an excellent guide.
I often think that you prodigy pianists, just because you were born prodigy, do not understand what we feel when we listen to you at the piano.
In this world without principles and feelings, you and your colleagues produce "the real beauty", you're a gifts of God.
It's always a great pleasure to listen to you.
Joseph Silberstein Oh please, what a party pooper.
Giovanni Tognato Let’s not forget the 14 hours of daily practice that reinforces all that beauty.....
40 hours
"What you see and hear is basically my first performance, LOL!" IM IMPRESSED
I listen to this every day...I'm in love.
You're amazing! And my favorite performer, Valentina! Blessings, Love, and Light!
Magnificent to listen to and to watch. Pure delight. ❤
My absolute favorite piano. Love that Bosendorfer beyond words. Valentina kills me with that best piano brand, her best pianist skill, and Liszt. Thank you thank you thank you.
Les mots ne peuvent dire ce que je viens d'entendre. Cette vidéo miraculeuse est le résultat d'une longue chaine humaine : le facteur de piano, le compositeur (inspiré par le ciel) , l'interprète, l'ingénieur du son, les chercheurs du CERN qui ont inventé le principe d'internet...etc. Un ange passe...le temps comme suspendu...des gouttes de larmes....fluidité dans le jeu...sensibilité..."La musique creuse le ciel, disait Baudelaire".
Merci !
Liszt - Greatest composer of piano music ever!
Chopin says hello!
Yura Vakuldnko -- Liszt is certainly in the pantheon of greats.
i believe Chopin was a Poet and Liszt was a showman.
More like Rachmaninoff
@@sokkimmartin788 Liszt was a story teller...in all his moods, there is a story he's trying to tell...that is beyond the music...visionary..
What grace you have Valentina. You play with such beauty and artistry. Thank you for playing Liszt on my favorite piano !
Without doubt the most beautiful interpretation I have ever heard of this piece, virtuoso extreme
crying ~ this is beautiful
This piece blows my tiny mind 😱 I have been trying to play it for three weeks and Gah the timing and intricacy is out of this world hard 😢 beautiful job valentina x
Some of the most beautiful melodies of the classic repertoire! ......
Quelle Grâce… les notes suspendues au bout des doigts… C'est frémissant… Merci Liszt, merci Valentina
Oh, Valentina. I'm speechless... The way you caress the keyboard... Sublime. I'm really astonished. Thanks you so much.
Her playing is so passionate and well timed. Beautiful expression.
Music from another planet - thanks Valentina
thanks Liszt
My favorite piece of Liszt, played on a magnificent Bosendorfer by a lady with simpatico in abundance for the work.
Dreamy to say the least and with a fine melody. Late in life he also used notes very sparingly, but in a much more sombre mood (i.c.the lugubra gondola). This one is a fine piece for the end of december, when looking back at the years already passed.
Valentina, we truly love your performance - it touched our hearts and souls so deeply the minute you started! We are thankful to you for the beautiful music you have presented; we hope to listen to yours more often...
Exquisite sensitivity to the playing
I am 59yo & have only just embarked on the journey of teaching myself to play piano. I cannot afford a teacher and anyway I suffer from RSI so I have to somehow move forward slightly less often than I move back. Having said that I have been watching many CZcams videos & discovering a real passion for work such as the one you play here so beautifully. I've learned so much from CZcams, specifically about technique & I want to say I've just witnessed rotation in action for the first time by watching how you play. Your technique is just so beautiful to watch, so effortless I can only hope that one day I can play without the exacerbated pain I feel from my practising. I am however an inspired beginner so watch out! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work & I just love Liszt.
Hey, loved to read your words, and I completely agree about this interpretation.
I taught myself the piano for 1 year and I started classes last month, and it really helped a lot (not that it matters, but I'm playing this beautiful piece).
You probably know this already, you shouldn't feel any pain while playing the piano (not sure with RSI tho), but as my teacher always keeps telling me, you need to play as relaxed as possible, maybe you are playing a little too tense?
Many things can happen in 8 months and I hope that you still got your motivation to play the piano, and hopefully you got yourself a good teacher. It's never too late to learn an instrument and I'm really happy that you keep trying even with your handicap.
You made my day, keep rocking!
Less than an hour. And this is one of only Lisztpieces not made to make the public go wild (he was ''maker'' of the pianorecital, and was pretty much the first pianist to perform alone and was in his time a real celebrity)
When the end of life comes, I think I should be quite reconciled to it if this were the last thing I ever heard.
What a fantastic performance. And this piece is so emotional to begin with... it's truly moving.
Dark world. But love could be one consolation...
Your way of playing is just beautiful, your hands dance on the keyboard. You play very relaxed with a great sound
Prsty Valentinky jsou jako motýlí křídla - její interprtace mne vždy pohladí po duši- díky
What a performance of such great masterpiece of classical music. Congratulations to the artist.
One of my favorite pieces to play and to listen. Valentina did a great job, Brava!
una delizia
Her hands are like clouds in a soft wind...I love her, thanks Valentina.
Here her sound control, flawness and "soft but not weak" rendering take me to think at Horowitz. Wonderful. Truly.
One of my favorite videos of all time
I just dumb founded..such a beautiful music and touched my heart deeply .
She might have 'learnt' it in only one hour but she is of course a musical genius and has playing since the age of 3. I love her playing, especially of these simple yet beautiful romantic pieces. Her interpretation of Schumman's Traumarei for instance is another one of her exquisite pieces.
You have the talent and equally IMPORTANTLY.....the SOUL of a true pianist.
Poetic and lovable interpretation. It seem to stay above the clouds.
Lol learning this was more difficult then I thought! Note wise this was quite easy, but the fact that the notes didn't line up in several parts made it quite difficult to keep up with.
Lol, yup. I'm having that same problem right now as I'm learning Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9, No.1 (B-Flat Minor).
The Consolation has several polyrtyhms. One is for eight notes and triplets, and the other one is for sixteenth notes and triplets. Liszt always challenging pianists
Everyday, i learn new pieces and is thanks to you! amazing as always darling! love from Colombia ♥
Without a doubt the absolute finest expression of Liszt👍
Ver a La Divina Valentina y enamorarme de ella, fue una sola cosa! Nadie, Nunca, ha tocado el piano con la destreza, talento y dedicación con que lo ha hecho Valentina!!!
Questa "Consolazione" è poesia, brivido, emozione. Perchè negarci questa gioia? Esecuzione ed interpretazione capolavoro. Keep calm and play piano! Frapio.
That ending gave me tranquil goosebumps
Beautiful and timely. Thank you for your positive contribution to the chaotic period in which we find ourselves.
not only pleasant to ears, but also pleasant to eyes. Very well recorded image
So beautiful, my favorite piano composition.
Valentina...is magnificent...she plays so beautifully....every note and every key...
Liszt is watching from heaven. He couldn't be anymore proud.
For me the most beautiful, moving peice of music ever written it truly is a consolation with its essence of sadness. The version for piano and violin is also divine.
WOW...Valentina, you are now officially my favorite classical pianist! Sublime...beautiful. Thank you very much!
Wow she is truly the best ❤️
That killer ending 😭 Liszt you beast... Valentina 😍 gorgous performance...
There is something just so spiritually perfect and balanced about this performance. Learning it in less than an hour is amazing....Making MUSIC of this quality in less than an hour is devine!
As mãos deslizam sobre o piano. É mágico.......
A performance not of this earth, truly heaven sent, mesmerizing, hypnotic......beautiful Valentina, she captures the heart.....
valentina es increible su interpretacion magnifica
Played with such grace and love!
Reminds me of Chopin Nocturne op 27 no 2
Yes, like the blend of Nocturne 27/2 and Liszt's "Benediction de dieu dans la solitude"
Cisco Martinez yeah. Kinda does.
Which is another beautiful masterpiece.
Cisco Martinez Liszt and Chopin were friends so they inspired each other to do music in other levels
Liszt helped Chopin at the beginning
Valentina's fingers are so beautiful. One sees the result of many hours of youthful practise of scales and arpeggios played with intelligent attention and musical devotion over a long period, indeed without ceasing!
At first I thought the tempo was a bit fast but by the end of the piece I simply enjoyed the whole interpretation. Great touch on a superb sounding piano equals greatness.
Bella Valentina !!! , Alles was Sie spielen ist fantastisch , liebe Valentina
Breathtaking. Chopin and Valentina. For the finest in music. Such grace and beauty. Much gratitude to you Valentina for sharing your magnificent talent and humble heart.
Truly beautiful and sublime playing. I held my breath throughout.
intense creative interpretation
Apart from the delightful performance, I enjoy reading the description you give. :)
I wish you the best for bringing us consolation. 🙏
thank you once again for your contribution to the world
A beautiful consolation played as such. Horowitz missed many notes in his rendition and left me cold. This is played from the soul with deep reverie and with careful softness to accentuate the beautiful melody. The best tempo and execution I've heard. Excellent, Valentina!
Just like Chopin tugging at the heart strings, to deep for clumsy words. Thank you for this I did not know it.
Valentina is gifted with a photographic memory. She says so herself in an interview......that, along with a very in-depth knowledge of rhythmic patterns, chord progressions and a superb knowledge of music theory.
