Liszt was such a kind man, he always made sure that none of the notes felt left out
-
She did this after a 3 hour recital! What a performer!!!
-
Some people are saying about wrong notes, which honestly, is a testament of how she is still human, and i love that. As it has been written numerous times on recordings with wrong notes : "To play a wrong note is insignificant - to play without passion, is inexcusable."
-
The tempo!!! This was AFTER her recital!!! A freaking BEAST
-
I actually met her today. She is very kind and the most important thing she taught me as a piano player is knowing how to communicate with your audience. Breathe and flow with the dynamics of the music. Don't be afraid to express the music to the audience.
-
I love the smile on her face. She's really enjoying it. When I play guitar my face looks like I'm reacting to a smelly fart.
-
She plays and makes it sound like flowing water. It's amazing. I love La Campanella, such a great masterpiece.
-
it's like she's caressing the piano and the piano is purring back in return
-
Brings out Liszts philosophy that piano is played with ten fingers, not two hands.
-
I love the audience when they knew she was going to play La Campanella! 😂😂😂
-
one could argue this speed is a little bit too much, but I have never ever seen anybody playing this piece with such virtuosity. Just extraordinary.
-
素人目で見てもこれほどまで凄まじいテンポで弾けるのやばいってわかる
-
She truly loves every single minute playing, you can see it in her face.
-
LOL that "yup" face from her in the beginning was priceless!
-
I’ve watched her play this song multiple times and I’m simply amazed every single time. My wrists lock up just watching her play.
-
Ahhh man. Her interpretation is so haunting, delicate, beautiful, and she expresses this reallyyy unique kind of build up that really is her own. Nobuyuki's and Valentina's are by far my favorite La Campanellas, no matter how many times I watch either one I'm always in such awe by them.

Re: several comments about wrong notes. Liszt could hit wrong notes, which he referred to as "uninvited guests."
-
With most pianists this sounds like a piano wanting to sound like bells. With Valentina it actually does sound like bells. Pretty amazing.
-
For anyone who isn't already persuaded by the mastery of her performance of what is uniformly considered one of the most difficult pieces in all of piano, compare this to videos of other virtuosos playing the same piece. This is simply mindboggling.

Oh look at Valentina sit back and smile at the finish. So happy with the performance and so she should be. Love her playing ❤
