G: The DVD recording of Valentina's Lisitsa's 19th of June 2012 Royal Albert Hall concert.

With more than 43 million views and over 52,000 subscribers to her YouTube channel, the young pianist is not only one of the fastest-rising stars of the international concert scene but probably the single most-watched classical musician, having rapidly overtaken long-established giants of the piano world in terms of global online viewing figures.

" This recital disc of short piano pops proves Lisitsa's technical skill rather than the potential depth or reach of her musicality. She opens, in reckless mood, with Rachmaninov's Prelude in G Minor, then settles into an elegant Für Elise" (The Observer)

"Critics love to trash this kind of 'semi-pops' programme, yet Lisitsa often plays beautifully." (Gramophone)
