Hi everybody,

My name is steve, I am a street player and a composer, I was lucky enough to perform for Play me I m yours in Paris, and Valentina lisitsa was also there.
Fortunately I was with my friends, equipped with good cameras.
We have already uploaded Appassionata (third movement), La campanella... other will come soon (she played a nocturne, chopin, and she arranged it a bit... it was wonderful).


Appassionata 3rd mvnt - Beethoven



La campanella



Have a nice day

Steve

I think that the expression "you had to be there" might have some explanatory relevance here - but why would you necessarily expect to have heard about it before someone who WAS there, even though the thread topic includes the words "play me, I'm yours" after VL's name?(!)...

And yes, the piano was quite dreadfully and unforgivably out of tune for her usual OK performances...

Best,

Alistair

I like how she never lets the music get in the way of her performances
