#Beethovens 9th symphony. No classical music have I heard more often in my lifetime. Yesterday I heard it in a concert for the very first time. Our local #AarhusSymphonyOrchestra gave a magnificent performance. I was overwhelmed. 🥲

By the way, ich blogge noch, hier mein Text von gestern, über #Beethovens Siebte, super Musik:

I've "featured" this pianist before, where she played #Beethoven's Mondscheinsonate. This time she plays #Grieg's piano concerto.

The video isn't of particularly good quality, but good enough to see again how easy she makes it look to play. I saw Lang Lang play this piece too, not long ago, but Lisitsa here puts more life into it in my eyes.

#^Grieg Piano Concerto (complete) - Valentina Lisitsa



Seoul Philharmonic/James Judd/Valentina Lisitsa
Just an outstanding performance. I doubt whether there is any piece of music, that she could not turn into a 5 star performance in a seemingly effortless way.
This was my dear late father's favourite concerto and mine !!
She packs every bit of Nordic emotion and drive into the 1st movement, the 2nd is just sublime and the 3rd is just a joy to watch and she obviously thoroughly enjoys the whole thing !!..... just watch her facial expressions esp. during the last movement - just a treat to watch...... and it takes a Ukrainian to play an absolutely knockout performance !!
The only downsides to this recording it is not HD and was broken up into 3 pieces which I've joined together. The thoroughly deserved crowd applause at end as it's cut off in last segment!! ...arrrrgh.
Surely there must be a good quality version out there somewhere..... hoping !! Valentina can you help !!
