Valentina Lisitsa -- Chopin

This gal has a phenomenal technique and a large repertoire. She astonishes in the brilliant, extrovert pieces. I almost want to be grumpy when it comes to such technique applied to so many varieties of scores. I want to think she must be a tiny bit lacking in the subtlest aspects of musicality. But as the Chopin below proves, she conjures pure poetry. She must be some kind of real live genius. I just don't know what else to say.....
