These masterful interpretations of great works are conducted by Valentina Lisitsa sublimely. We find his perfect technicality, his dazzling virtuosity and ... that more provided by this Ukrainian artist, this added value made of depth, sensitivity and intelligence. To the point that we can, at times, have the feeling of "rediscovering" a composition was believed to know by heart. Small discomfort proven however, mainly in the 3rd movement of "Appassionata", or, as an excess of virtuosity, it seems result in a tempo may be exaggerated. This movement is noted "allegro ma non troppo", nothing more. But this is where a feeling of a lover can deny that a more competent amateur. In any event, it felt nothing away to the real happiness that listening to this disc. Also note: the technical quality of the recording by this publisher. It is not even in the room: one is squarely on the scene, next to the artist!
