@@1_homme_a_la_mer pay off in this context would be "To result in profit or advantage; succeed", since she merely plays for pleasure, "profit or advantage" does not apply. Do not read it only from the aspect of money, it paid off an effort: drive her to lessons, wait outside her classroom, make sure she practise, recitals , competitions, RCM, and etc., and all those efforts are paid off.

Not you living through her beacuse you're washed up 😔 I know your play, the same thing happened to me. Wait until you burned her out with all that crap.
Valentina is one of those rare pianists that it is an equal joy both to watch and hear. The fluidity of her movements beautifully depicts the mood she so aptly captures in her interpretation. Magical.
Yes. Not to be flippant, but it reminds me of the way one can watch Chico Marx play the piano, and be amused by his smile as well as his style. But of course, Valentina takes it to the next level. More serious, but still an element of playfulness and joy in her movements.
I don't believe it, I listened to this song years ago and it always came back in my mind, and what makes me happier besides having finally found it, is seeing that it belongs to my favorite composer and I didn't know, Tchaikovsky always surprising me. I can already die in peace, definitely. ❤️
Funny how time works, it feels like yesterday that I last listened to this piece. It's been years. Yet, it brings my soul to the same place. By myself, even though I have gained so much love and family over the years. When I listen, I still walk down a path alone in the warm rain.
SertavisSaviPianist perfect wording.. however, in my sense of "loneliness", it gives me time to reflect and grow as a person. Just enough time to think.
Reminds me of a line in Tennyson's poem Tithonus: "And after many a summer dies the swan." And just before it dies memories of youth flush in and dissipate with the ripples too quickly...
Удивительно чувственное исполнение!!! Просто полное растворение в звуках, паузах , мелодия таким естественным образом перетекает из одной руки в другую подобно движению ручейка, каждая нота идет от сердца....эти паузы,,, легкое предыхание,,,,долгота каждой ноты идеальная, ее полнота и насыщенность.....я просто в полном восторге, прослушала несколько раз подряд, потому что не могла, не хотела отпусть это чувство! 👏👏👏👏
I've never heard such a good and majestic interpretation of this incredible piece. The tempo, the sensibility, the way the hands touch the piano keys, it reaches perfection ! I never get tired of listening to it. Fantastic job, really !
OMG I allways play it waaaaaaay much faster and I thought it is supposed to be played that way, but your tempo gives it another meaning, much deeper, mysterious and sensitive. Excellent as allways, thank you for another great lesson in music, Valentina! :-)
Well, this is her own interpretation, not much to do with what Tchaikovsky has indicated in his score. As a pianist and composer, I can tell you sticking with the composer's tempo, dynamics and mood indications is much harder than to just play as you wish. What she has done, she has turned this piece into various disjointed sections, just pretty tunes. Whereas played as the composer has wished, it becomes a piece that no longer allows the listener to let his/her mind wonder or daydream. It should have a strong sense of direction and inevitability, forcing the listener to follow the music attentively from the first to last note, unable to detach from listening. In her case, she already lost me in the first two bars as she even failed to establish the tempo by an unnecessary rubato. Also, her changes in tempo are not organic and logical. They sound arbitrary and not thought out! And she is one of the better pianists around today.
@@johnsarkissian5519 totally agree. This piece should be played faster, not much, but faster (just listen to how Sviatoslav Richter played it, here on the tube). Her tempo makes it losing cohesiveness and you miss the arches of the melodies because they are too long, and the links between them. It remains a wonderful piece, though, and I loved Jesse's comment, on top
Beautiful and melancholic melody but you can feel the mysterious helpless sadness. Like what Aleksey Pleshcheyev wrote about this piece: "... With mysterious sadness, The stars will shine down on us."
What a hauntingly beautiful piece and pops into my life every now and then. Bringing bittersweet and melancholic, yet beautiful emotions out of me, every single time.
I love valentina❤️Since I saw her viedo of "tempest ", her piano playing style give me inspire. There's many pianist in the world but, valentina is best i think😍
I feel as if I am in a boat with the water splashing gently against the sides, ... and that is precisely how I should feel, considering that this is a barcarolle. Thank you, Tchaikovsky.
In your loneliness do not look at the road, and do not rush out after the troika. Suppress at once and forever the fear of longing in your heart. Do not catch your frenzied troika: Horses are strong and well fed, and the strikers - And the driver tipsy, and other Hurtling swirl cornet young ...
Thank you, wonderful Valentina, for inspiring my 8 year old son to fall in love with this masterpiece. Спасибо, замечательные Valentina, вдохновляя мой 8-летний сын, чтобы влюбиться в этот прекрасный шедевр.
Tchaikovsky, one of my favorite composer. Your interpretation always make me to move, and I personally think most of Tchaikovsky's pieces has sadness that i can not explain clearly. Thanks for sharing this Great Music!
