You know you're listening to an outstanding pianist when you've been playing this piece for years but it sounds like it's not the same piece you've just heard. Congrats Valentina ! Loved it

I can honestly say I’ve never heard the largo “so largo”. Your performance gives it such a majestic weight. I don’t even know how to describe it. Amazing as always Valentina.

My piano teacher introduced me to you many many years ago and I still find myself in awe of your stunning performances time and time again

"Ladies and gentlemen, The superwoman of the piano.... Valentina Lisitsa!" X

Whoever says Valentina doesn't play with emotion are definitely deaf

We’re waiting on that long awaited Chopin Fantasie Impromptu op.66, Valentina!! I’ve wanted to hear your version of it for more than 10 years now!! I love the music you make!

Dear Valentina. Rachmaninoff's art lives through your hands. Merci beaucoup pour partager. we love you in Suisse😍

I'm stunned. Was just clicking on my phone and this has stopped me in my tracks. Brilliant.

Валентина, сердце подчиняется этому ритму, то замирает, то разгоняет бег...

Very few meet this God like level of Perfection. Such an honor to watch.

Браво! Чудове, найкраще виконання твору, яке доводилося чути. КИЇВ ЛЮБИТЬ ВАС!

Ваши слушатели с Вами !!! Привет из Луганска !

J'aime beaucoup votre interprétation. Vous prenez le temps de présenter le thème et les enchaînements sont divins. Fidèle au texte avec vos profonts sentiments. Bravo Valentina.

Halloween special is getting soooo good, now with this it's even better. Thank you Miss Lisitsa.

Дорогая Валентина, это просто чудесное исполнение! Так передать всю мощь и все настроение этой прелюдии можете только вы, играя в особом, вашем темпе. Великолепное исполнение!!!!

Love the way she plays, her style is so unique.

Великолепно, Валентина!!!!! Рахманинов в Вашем исполнении чудесен!!!! 😁 Спасибо 😊😊

Your performance touched my heart…

Bells bells bells everywhere! Love Rachmaninoff. Thank you Maestra!

Good Morning Beautiful 🌺🌺🌺! Such a pleasure to wake up to your healing music. Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊

Magnificent recording as always. I hope you can play in Paris soon, the concert halls miss you so much, so do I. Once again, thanks for sharing your beautiful performance of this piece

She plays the piano like if it were her lover... Fierce and passionate, but gentle.

Working on this now. Playing piano is a great way to get through all this global craziness!

I hardly took a breath watching this.... just stunning! May I also compliment the creative camera work. Love from NZ

Among the greatest in history ❤️

Thank you Valentina! You are great!

Просто превосходно, огромное спасибо!

Восхитительно!!!!Чудо-руки!!!! Благодарю!!!!

Goosebumps. Your Rachmaninoff is amazing as always. ❤

Thank you! Thank you very much for give us your wonderful concerts! Thank you! Thank you!

I am SO happy you uploaded a performance of this piece. I had looked for a performance of this from you many times and never found one, and you did NOT disappoint. Simply stellar.

I’ve been waiting for this recording! Thank you Valentina!💕

Замечательно, Валентина Евгеньевна! Великий Рахманинов в исполнении замечательной, чудесной доброй Феи из далёкой детской сказки. Обожаю Рахманинова. Это для сердца, для души. Прокофьев для меня сложен. Но Сергей Сергеевич, наш земляк, это как наша совесть звучащая в музыке. А Сергей Васильевич это душа и сердце тоже звучащие в музыке. И музыка эта из Ваших рук ложится прямо на душу и на сердце. По этому Вы добрая Фея из далёкой чудесной сказки! Спасибо Вам❗❗❗ 👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖💐💐💐🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Прекраснейшая, Валентина! Идеальное мастерство❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The most relaxed performance I know of. With such grace and tempo and yet so relaxed. Bravo!

Each of your tones deeply touches my soul. You tear my heart to pieces. You are perfect.

Благодарим Валентина за всё что Вы делаете! С Новым Годом! Здоровья, сил, гармонии!

Бесподобно восхитительно! Браво, дорогая Валентина Евгеньевна!

Thank you, dear friend, for giving me a really good cry again through this immaculate rendering of what I feel are the composer’s greatest moments. We are so blessed that you bare your soul with us. Praying for peace and healing in your homeland as we work every day to meet their needs.

Валентина, благодарю!

Absolutely sensational, as always! This is probably one of my favourite compositions, can you play it with such unique passion and talent, thank you so much for sharing it with us, you’re incredible!

Tengo 21 años. Nunca es tarde para tocar... ademas creo que es uno de los mejores momentos, porque sabes lo que te gusta. Ella es mi Inspiracion.... las ganas de aprender ella me ayudo. La Admiro mucho. Una gran pianista... la mejor para mi

amazing as always

One of my favotire piece from one of my favorite pianist, its fabulous thank you for this performance. It has plenly of emotion, you can feel some king of deep grief as well as as confusion. Greeting from belgium

Your color and control of the voicing are simply, mesmerizing. Please stay healthy, we need your voice on concert stages.

This piece is amazing! Great performance, thank you for this!

Браво！Прекрасное исполнение.

Feels like it's been forever since I seen something from you! Love this!

This is so incredibly beautiful. Thank you very much for your music.

Thank you Mrs Lisitsa, truly...

Wonderful Valentina! Thank You

Благодарим Валентина за потрясающее исполнение!

When this pandemic ends , plz come to Greece !!

I like the black and white effect on this clip. Thank you for this share.

one of the best pieces for piano and one of the best performances

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, KRASAVA :)

Thank you Valentina.

Feels like it's a new classical piece. Thanks for making this video. A refreshing version of a classic Rachmaninoff.

Merci beaucoup chère Valentina! 💖👏

This is without a doubt and it speaks sooo loud. From my heart, thank you Valentina

Every touch of her is precious.

Thank God your youtube channel is back. 😘🙏

Thank you much for sharing your performance, you are magnificent!

My old ticker gets a wobble every time I watch one of your videos. This one is no exception, it's just great! ❤❤❤

I love this piece and your channel! Wonderful! :)

A true and beautiful masterpiece, playing one of my favorite masterpieces. Hesitant to write this, but this is also, by far my favorite execution of this prelude. It means more than words can express. It's disheartening how many ppl do not appreciate nor value the beauty of classical music, such as classics such as this one. But it tugs on my heart strings knowing I am very lucky to be one of the few who not only value/appreciate it, but truly love and respect it (and you) for what it (and you) truly is (are). I hope one day to see you live performing in NYC much sooner rather than later. Your technique is heavenly and 'beyond this world'. I foresee lots of fundraisers and events not only to keep music and art alive, but to expand and thrive. May the universe send you many blessings of divine love, and divine light. 💛🌟🌸💐🌹

Now that was a real treat! Hopefully I will be able to play this piece someday...

Valentino, I have listened to you for years. I am in awe with every piece you play. If only I would have stuck to playing the piano diligently, I might be one tenth as good as you! You are simply awesome. Also, my husband and I pray for you and your family that all is well with you in regard to the situation with Ukraine and Russia!! What a tragedy, and it still goes on. I will continue to listen to you every week as I do now. You are one of a kind!! Best of everything to you now and in the future! 💕💕💕

I love the quiet approach she takes to the beginning

Thank you. Very beautiful. Appreciate you and your music.

I love It how play the piano, fantastic, beautiful congratulations @Valentina Lisitsa!!

Thank you very the view of superb technique. Ultimate performance, instrument and recording.

5 am havnt touched piano in weeks im at the point of giving up my dreams, listening to this makes me want to play and i hope i will feel the same way when i wake up. Thank you

This is my favorite rachmaninoff peice! Getting to hear my favorite pianist play it is a gift from the world :)

theres something so sinister about the way she performs this piece. its really breathtaking and mesmerizing to watch her play

these film angles make it even better

I thought this was a wonderful performance of this great piece and I believe the excellent filming really enhanced its drama.

Потрясающее исполнение гениального произведения!

An absolutely beautiful performance. :)

Beautiful.

Спасибо!!!

Absolutely beautiful ! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

Beautiful Valentina!

Magnificent

The movement of hands in the beginning is elegant.

I am learning this piece too, great to listen to the master’s performance

Magical. Thank you.

Bravisimo Valentina👏👏👏

an absolute living legend

LoL This woman is a beast I never cease to be impressed by her amazing talent- following her about 13 years now.

Excellent rendition and well filmed.

Stupendo!!!!!!........

Really, violently awesome. I still trying to perform this playing but I have never listen such amazing and brilliant piano teacher as you.

Magnificent. Thank you.

Bravo. Beautiful music 🎹🎹🎹

Ooooooh, nice! I love this piece and who could play it possibly better than Valentina? 🤩 Thank you Valentina. We miss seeing you live. Hopefully one day again. 😘

I could write a lot of things, but it is enought to say : you’re just the best !

Thank you Valentina! I saw how you did measures 28 and 29 on the c# and b in the left hand; wasn't sure if I could roll that or do an octave up on the c#. Saw how you bounced that c# in a roll. Made my day. Been teaching my myself mostly. So seeing how you did it helped. Thank you and God bless!💐

Wonderful

You are my favorite pianist!!!👍😋
