Bach Busoni Chaconne D Minor BWV 1004 Valentina Lisitsa 

I can watch this woman play the piano for hours. It's like there's an itch somewhere in my brain and she knows just how and where to scratch.

Valentina can play literally everything! From baroque to classical then to romantic and beyond with an incredibile ease and deep understanding and sensibility. She is one of the most gifted pianist of our time. God bless her! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️

Such control! This is no mortal feat. Totally blown away Lisitsa, you really are something. When you play Bach, it's like the heavens split open and God's glory rains down on us all. Thank you for sharing.

Thank god it's back! Thank you Valantina for getting this incredible video recording back onto RU-vid. The best rendition ever of Busoni Chaconne by a remarkable woman.

I think lisitsa's is the most satisfying version I've heard. She's almost the most reliably brilliant, even if not always necessarily the best. This just sounds how I want to play it, however many years or centuries that may take

This is the most impressive version of Bach Busoni Chaconne in D minor i have ever come across. Magnificent.

The control and the emotional depth are astonishing. I have tears in my eyes. Profoundly beautiful.

j'écoute pour la deuxième fois depuis ce matin Chaconne, tel que vous nous la délivrez. Il n'y a pas de mot pour décrire toute l'émotion qu'on ressent à l'écoute de votre interprétation. C'est magnifique, splendide, sublime. Vous nous offrez un grand moment de musique dans sa plus majestueuse interprétation. Et Dieu sait qu'il y en a eu de belles par le passé, mais aucune ne dépasse la vôtre à mes yeux, vous jouez cette partition avec toute une palette de nuances nouvelles qui en font une version incontournable pour les amoureux de la grande musique. Merci Valentina.

I cannot get enough of this masterpiece, and Valentina's playing is just brilliant.

Your first-person POV camera is a really great and original idea. I've never seen anything like this before. I am, once again, truly impressed by your talent, and I honestly hope to see you playing live someday.

La chaconne comme la grande passacaille raconte la création du monde et le récit de cette histoire. JS Bach fut le messager de cette grandiose destinée en l'exprimant de façon mystique. Valentina Listsa interprète ce chef d'œuvre absolu comme personne avec détermination et grâce.

The Chaconne in d minor give me always the best 14 minutes of the day

Une pièce merveilleuse et énigmatique. Toutes les émotions, les sentiments humains y passent. Je crois que c'est le monument de la musique de J.S.Bach tel que Ferruccio Busoni l'a ressenti et a traduit du violon au piano. Madame Valentina Lisitsa a l'intelligence et la sensibilité qui rendent cette pièce si complexe accesible à tous, et nous ouvre l'âme sur des horizons intérieurs et libérateurs. Mille mercis pour ce magnifique cadeau musical.

Какое гармоничное, вычищенное от всего суетного и бренного, возвышенное исполнение... Нет слов, право. К тому ж, я всегда люблю смотреть на руки Валентины, такие эстетические "инструменты" для звуков!

Valentina is the best pianist in the world. Listening to her play is a spiritual experience. Seeing her play live would be a dream for me!

Valentina's dynamics on the piano are like Mark Knopfler's on guitar. Perfect.

If only Bach could see what piano technology has reached today in expressive capability.

This rendition of the Chaconne was awesome. It brought glandular secretions from the eyes. Seriously, it was simply beautiful.

I have listened to many different versions of this piece by several well-known pianists, and this interpretation is by far the best. Valentina's playing is flawless, divine, transcendent. She plays with such heart and passion but also with great precision and control. Absolutely magnificent. She's an inspiration to us all.

Прекрасно! Браво ! Продолжительные аплодисменты!

Probably the most beautiful piece of classical music I've ever heard!!!!

Each time I listen to this piece in particular I literally travel, I literally travel out of my present and go to beautiful places I can´t really describe, then I feel amazing and say to me "I will try to be a better person than I was yesterday" this music literally touch your soul, and I invite people to do the same, to go to one of the most beautiful places in this time, in this moment, to make this world better everyday. Greetings!!!!

And another thing--anyone upset over the video need only close their eyes and listen carefully to Valentina's performance. And then laugh out loud at the negative comments you read here. Brava, VL.

one of the best i have ever heard Chaccone.

More than a great pianist, Valentina is such a wonderful person. I love her interviews as much as her performances because she is so warm and genuine and jovial. Thank you. Keep playing and being you.

Speechless. It simply doesn't get any better than this interpretation. Thank you so much, Valentina!

Из всех современных пианистов Валентина Лисица меня впечатляет больше всех, именно её исполнение.

I've been listening to recordings by these exceptional pianists for days. A foretaste of paradise.

Chaconne in D minor in piano transcription by Ferruccio Busoni - is a real masterpiece of Bach, where the depth of its content is immeasurable, an incredibly beautiful work performed by a delightful pianist Valentina Lisitsa with great taste, the highest professionalism, an absolute depth of understanding and musicality. . .🎶🎵🎶

I love the Busoni transcription. It's as though you are actually hearing all the rest of the music that Bach implied in the original. Very impassioned piece.

I am happy to be born in a period when Bach has been create Chaconna and Valentina has made notes alive!

When the angels wish to listen music they play Mozart, but, when God wants music He listens Bach !!!

3 pop-up d'annonces de RU-vid pendant les 15 minutes de la chaconne de Bach. VOUS ÊTES DES BARBARES !

At moments, she really carresses gently, but so gently the piano and at others, she totally pulverize it! Fantastic!!!

Once again transcendental artistry from a living legend.

I love the way her hands dance across the piano! A sublime talent!

Незабываемое исполнение: оно лучше всех! Ведь никто так не исполнил этот Шедевр! Замечательная Чаккона в исполнении Гениальной пианистки! ♥️♥️🌴♥️♥️♥️♥️

thank you , THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been waiting for this since Liszt's Totentanz!

Валентина прекрасна!)))

This is the most beautiful, luminous, and deepest expression of Bach Busoni Chaconne I’ve ever heard! Thank Valentina. I feel the soul of Bach would be delighted to hear your performance. You’ve got the essence of Chaconne-“Life is beautiful including sadness and happiness.” I think you can express Bach in harmony with the beauty of the spirit of this time.

I wish J.S. Bach could see and hear this, the modern instrument, the wonderful transcription by Busoni celebrating his piece, the perfect execution, done by a virtuoso woman. The guy would be stunned...

You are of course recognized as an absolutely spceial Bach interprerator. But on top of that you are so a loveable total work of art that i miss words to express. Fantastic what you can do. I love your soul!!

One of the few things which keep me alive. Une merveilleuse interprétation, sensible et maîtrisée sur un Boesendorfer par une très grande pianiste. Merci....It helps me much more than morphine,therapeutic cannabis and muscles relaxants....

This music is at the height of difficulty and she makes it look easy (well, almost). So much subtlety of expression, love the 'Quasi tromboni' at 7'30. Great music wonderfully well played. Have listened to this about a dozen times now. It just keeps getting better.......

This interpretation is an emotional roller coaster. A real journey through the feelings. My respect for such an extraordinary talent.

Playing even high-end repertoire seems so effortless and natural for you!

Magnifique morceau que j'adore ! J'écoute et ré-écoute une grosse dizaine d'interprétations de cette Chaconne et je n'arrive pas à départager celle que j'aime le plus avec celle d'Hélène Grimaud. C'est vraiment le top !! Quel plaisir, quelle émotion ! Merci Mme Lisitsa, que du bonheur !!

Пані Валентино, дуже дякую за чудове виконання! Бравіссімо!

My favorite version of Bach Chaconne on the piano. She is a wonderful pianist. Thank you. Beautiful.

I love your interpretation Valentina, thank you for playing with such passion & delicacy. My only regret is the length of time it's taken to find you!

Merci Valentina pour cette merveilleuse interprétation. Vous entrez ainsi dans le domaine de l'essentiel bien que les autres compositeurs magnifiques comme Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov… fassent partie des incontournables, mais Bach, même dans cette transcription de Busoni est du domaine du sublime. Vous en donnez une interprétation particulièrement belle, qui fera date. Vous entrez véritablement dans la cour des grands en mettant Jean-Sébastien Bach dans votre répertoire. Merci encore

Première fois que je vois Vanetina jouer du Bach... J'espère que cela ne sera pas la dernière. Bravo Valentina.

I could listen to you play for hours on end and not be bored for one second of it. You can feel the sheer volume of passion you have for the music and for the instrument itself and it's really gorgeous

incredibly gifted pianist!!! love the camera work as well her hands are so strong!!! playing the greatest composer JSBach!!

12:46 - 13:10 way more stunning than the other recordings I've listen to

Mintea acestei frumoase doamne a muzicii, e probabil unul dintre cele mai frumoase locuri din univers! Respect!

Beautiful as always! Valentina, you always sparkle. Thank you again for what you are and what you've given the world. ,

Thank you.

Loved the point-of-view camera shots!

Das ist eine unglaublich starke virtuose Leistung. Meine Hochachtung von diesem "Engel". Sie gehört zu meinen Favoriten.

a nice and incredible talented girl, I wish her eternal life on youTube :-) and a long life

Thank dear Valentina for this wonderful interpretation. Your musicality and virtuosity leave me speechless. BRAVO

I have listened/watched this many times as well as all of Valentina’s Rachmaninov. Genius!!❤

Wow, absolutely mesmerizing performance! There are no words to describe the power and beauty of your playing. It touches people somewhere deep in the soul. What a gift you have!

The best performance of Bach/Busoni Chaconne ever!

Simply full of emotion which I still don't understand why people think that Bach had none! It's a stirring piece. Quite lovely!

Valentina is a genius. The best chaconne I heard.

It's my serious hope that I can make my listeners feel the way I feel when I hear you play this piece. Awesome, Valentina!

Brilliant. This is one of my favorite Bach pieces. Thank you Valentina for another excellent performance.

This is amazing!! You are extremely talented Valentina

Valentina Lisitsa... The Empress Of The Universe

The voicing of the chords to create these individual lines is what makes Lisitsa a respectable pianist.

И. С. Бах всегда был и будет моим самым любимым композитором, его музыка самая высокая и Божественная! Спасибо за произведение, от красоты этих звуков были муражки по коже!

I am an old "macho man" but when I hear Lisitsa play Bach's Chaconne in D minor I can't stop some tears to come to my eyes.....what is wrong with me???

Oh, Yes. Someone please tell people that rithm is a law of music. Thanks, Valentina!

Never heard this before; I like this🤗

Valentina's hands bring joy to my life. Thank you for existing, and allowing us the pleasure of listening.

Nothing but fantastic! Thank you, Valentina!

I've watched this so many times, but it wasn't until now that I noticed Ms Lisitsa played the imaginary bass G that does not exist on an 88-key piano at 13:58. If only the piano was the Bosendorfer with extra bass keys!

I was in that concert in Torroella de Montgri and it was amazing! I am also a pianist (or trying to become one at least) and you are really an inspiration for me. I really hope to be able to see you again near Barcelona any time soon, it would be great! =) Adrià

unbelievable outstanding breathtaking

This has to be the best Bach-Busoni D Minor Chaconne rendition on RU-vid. Your talent is unrivalled, at best, and sublime at worst. You has even managed to make Bach sound human! Never had I thought that a Piano Rendition of the Chaconne would pull at my heartstrings, better than the original Violin version would. The Violin version is fine, with the virtuosi like Itzhak Perlman and Jascha Heifetz indulging in a lot of rubato and embellishments and trying so-very-hard to make us cry. It amuses me. You, on the other hand, have played it just like it was intended to, if not better. Perhaps, if Bach had known a Steinway Grand in his day, and knew his work could be performed by you, he would not have bothered to write the piece for violin at all. Thank you, for making my day :-)

Lo más sublime de Bach, hermosa pieza y bravo a Lisitsa por este hermoso regalo

This is such an underrated piece, it's one of these rare pieces that makes you feel intense and always wanting more.

When I was young transcriptions were looked down upon! I am glad she is playing this lovely version of Bach's Chaconne! There is also a very cool version by Brahms for the left hand alone! I can't wait until Valentina plays it! She is a stunning musician and woman!

powerfull and so mystic, great interpretation

I don't know where I've had my head for the past 10 years, but Valentina...you really make me swoon when I listen to anything and everything you do. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Fantastique! Bravo!

My God your musicality is amazing. What a way to understand and feel the music

This is the best piano vid i have ever seen god bless u i fell in tears

Thanks for your generosity to those of us who cannot be there. Presenting us with this is a beautiful gift! I love you and your music! Hugs from Argentina!

WOW! Just, WOW! with tears...

真是撼動人心~一整天的疲憊就像海浪被帶走~如此完美的演奏~就連其他國家的人都佩服

La Chaconne di Bach è un Opera d'Arte meravigliosa e devo dire che anche al piano è altrettanto struggente poi suonata dalla Lisitsa non ci sono parole per descrivere tanta bellezza!

Love the camera shots......MORE PLEASE!

One of my favourite pieces... By such an amazing pianist... Bliss!

Fabuleux

Valentina Lisitsa has evolved so much in the time I've known her. I remember her boorish early Beethoven and Chopin recordings...now this is something else. A true artist.

Bravissimo! Stunning performance. Broad, deep voice of the piano makes it feel like telling a story in music.

Great！　Great ! . Thank you for your great and beautiful and strong playing.

Awesome. Thank you, Valentina.
