What do you guys think?  Lisitsa haters go away.

it probably doesnt compare with hamelin's new DVD.

[opus10no2]

I own the Hamelin DVD, and it certainly isn't his best playing, great DVD nonetheless.

[chopiabin]

I have her DVD of the Chopin etudes, and I think she's a great pianist. There's also a video of her playing Horowitz's Carmen Variations, which is really cool. She just seems so comfortable at the piano - even with the hardest stuff.

[arbisley]

Yeah, seems to be making no effort at all, thanks for making me discover this pianist

[gruffalo]

i love her interpretation of the rach etude op39 no.6. my favourite so far.

Gruff

[kriskicksass]

Hmmm... her playing on this disk seems to lack color. I expected her La Camp and Rach 13/5 to be better, at least. I've heard better from her.

How can ich get it? Amazon seems t ahave no idea.

Cute little pink dress.

mmhmm

made me enjoy the videos more.

On the contrary, I found the pink dress to get in the way of potentially more enjoyment, don't you think it would be a much more musical performance without a dress entirely?

Gasp, now i will never look at your posts the same way as ever!

True though, I totally agree.

Some people hate her for her early interpretation of Don Juan:

And some just don't like her playing... and that's just too bad.

OH and for anyone who hasn't seen her Rach etude:

And

[sevencircles]

Her failure to become one of the most famous classical pianists in the world has proven that itīs not all about sex appeal, thankfully.

Some of her recordings  are great though.

[houseofblackleaves]

Hey, there are worse!  Like that one "Female Tim Hoffman" topic I saw somwhere...

And she's not flaunting her looks, (at times it sounds) like she's flaunting her technique.  But her CD's and recordings are great.  Live performances not as much.

[houseofblackleaves]

Three full sample videos have been posted!!

Ondine somwhere on youtube too.... check them out for sure!

i just like lisitsa for her looks. nothing more.
