  • Valentina Lisitsa - Love Story - Piano Themes from Cinema's Golden Age is the WCLV: Recording of the Week
    Posted At: July 22, 2019

    On her website, Valentina Lisitsa bills herself as "The Queen of Rachmaninoff."  That happens to be of pinpoint relevance for this 2016 Decca release, since nearly all the selections in the program-especially those from the 1940s and 1950s-were composed in a style that aspires to the over-the-top Romanticism of the famous Russian. Take for instance the most familiar piece on the disc.  When the...

    Posted At: April 13, 2019

    It's a curiosity that Tchaikovsky is so popular – his 1812 Overture is No 1 in the Classic FM Hall of Fame – and yet much of his music is virtually unknown over here. That includes most of his operas, most of his chamber music, and almost all of his solo piano music, the totality of which is featured in Valentina Lisitsa's fine new box. Tchaikovsky wrote solo piano music for more than 30 year...

I thought it would be fun to spotlight a performer who is alive and well, and who got her start on YouTube – Valentina Lisitsa. We're going to discuss her background, her journey as a musician, playing style and recordings, as well...

    Valentina Lisitsa, who has a formidable track record when it comes to mining the works of left-field composers, turns her attention to Alexander Scriabin with her new release, Nuances.

    Born in Kiev a little more than 40 years ago, Valentina Lisitsa came to America in the early '90s to work as a concert pianist.
