Christian Li - Bruch: Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor 

Christian oh Christian you are growing up fast... your skills are growing even faster...

A lot of talented young musicians are very mechanical and almost robotic in the way that they play, trying to achieve technical accuracy. But I have to say that of all the young violinists I've heard play, Christian Li not only has amazing technical precision, but incredible emotion while playing.

I love to see Christian truly enjoys the music, even when the orchestra is playing. Unlike some experienced “professionals”, look like they are bored and just waited for his/her turn to play. I hope Christian will keep it this way forever.

Corpus Medicorum is a Melbourne-based orchestra made up of doctors, medical students and health professionals. They aren't full-time musicians and aren't perfect as some expected them to be. But I'm sure they did their best and felt honored to have Christian as the soloist at the concert.

12 year old only... and playing like the angels... these asian prodigies are getting younger and younger!

I have listened to so many of the BRUCH CONCERTO RECORDINGS ,, and many of them very good, excellent ,,, however this one with CRISTIAN LI--- this is a soul recording of music --- soul , soul ,, oh my , soul--- and not only music or strings ...

now who in their right mind dislikes a kid playing good violin music

This will definitely render TwoSet speechless. Simply sublime.

Christian 的老鐵粉真開心看到Christian 新的演出😍😍！小小年紀能駕馭這麼大的場面和這麼大的曲子，也只有天才能做到！👍👍

I. Vorspiel - Allegro moderato 1:00 II. Adagio 9:13 III. Finale - Allegro energico 17:36

Every time I listen to him I am amazed. His sort of music self is so matured that it's hard to believe this a child playing the violin. It's as if his whole self springs into music, with every note and with every sound...with every movement. So talented, always surprises me with his matured like a grown up person smooth and effortless performance.

How on earth does he learn these so fast? Even with 5 hours of practice every day, he learns a completely new piece and memorizes it in three months! That is insane!

I`m practizing the first movement of the Bruch concerto at the moment, and it is no matter for me that Christian plays the concerto better than me. I have not so much time for practizing because of my job and familiar duties. But I can learn from him, and that is no matter that he is only 12 years old.

Christian, it has been a while since we saw you last.... I am a linguist, a word-smith in other words, yet I cannot find words to express to you my thanks and admiration for the best performance of the Bruch I have ever heard. You have been marked out in this world as someone very special. Thank you again.... you were going to learn the Tchaikovsky concerto... how is this going? best wishes from the UK.

Thank you so much, Christian, for such divine and beautiful music you perform for us. I am a music teacher and a music lover from Bangkok, Thailand, and I will continue to follow you and your performance with great admiration.

Incedibile maturità musicale. Avrà un futuro bellissimo. Bravo!

Christian i admire your dedication and discipline toward your art. You are such a gift to humanity. Best wishes from the Philippines

Your musical growth is astonishing, Maestro Christian Li! I love how the music is practically leaping out of your body and how you can't help but dance to the orchestra's playing. You are the consummate artist and performer. ♥️🎵🎻🎼👏

Beautiful. Hard to believe that anyone age 12 can play with such mature emotion.

It is inexplicable, yet marvellous, that every time I hear this young giant play, there are tears in my eyes and goosebumps on my skin. Thank you!

Its fantastic that we've adopted this young talented lad in to Australia where he has all the freedom he needs to fully express himself and grow.

When he starts playing, the tune catches my heart right away.

oh my, the more I listen to this performance, the more amazing it becomes-- divine.

Very professional, mature and heartfelt performance. Christian is developing fast. His legato phrasing is particularly beautifully done.

Christian so heartfelt and beautiful. So glad I will be around long enough to watch you play through the years.❤️

What a huge pice to take on. This is one of my favourite violin concerto’s. As has been mentioned the recording is not the best but you can hear moments of genius in Christians playing. Once again he brings his interpretation to the piece. Christian is now entering the “big league “ of violin playing, so is not just playing with piano accompaniment. There were a couple of times he was out of time with the rest of the orchestra, this is a skill I’m sure Christian will perfect quickly. It may have been just nerves but the minor lapses did not overshadow Christians, once again phenomenal playing. His playing is truly outstanding and I see him put so much feeling into his playing. He also plays with a huge amount of maturity and empathy for the piece. Well done Christian a great performance.

Simply the Best of his génération

Christian, thank you for your hard work and talent. Wish you bright future in music! God bless you!🙏

Absolutely WONDERFUL! You play with SUCH passion. To see you not being able to stop yourself from doing little dances and body-movements in time to the music - coz you feel it that much, is delightful. Your playing is utterly joyful. You're an inspiring genius young lad.

Beautiful, as always...Christian is ONE with the music. The ending truly melted my heart, everyone loves him dearly.

That was absolutely gorgeous! Your playing has come such a long way and in such a gloriously short span of time! I’m so proud of you, Christian!!!! Please always keep playing violin!!!!! 💕😊🧸💕🎻😊💕

Christian is so talented! This is such a spectacular performance of Bruch's violin concerto, and Christian's playing is absolutely phenomenal. Bravo!!

I just love to listen to your violin playing. I think you are absolutely fascinating!

wish we could see Christian MORE CLOSELY.. beautiful.

Для такого возраста просто шикарно👍

Ja Christian je hemelse vertolking raakt tot in de ziel,enig genot dank je ,enig…mooi,bravo!

You are extremely talented and it warms my soul when I listen to your performance.❤

speechless-- in awe..surely the best PERFORMANCE OF BRUCH I HAVE EVER HEARD--bravo...

Bravo Christian! I have heard you the first time playing at the Menuhin Competition 2018 and I was stunned with the sound you can produce from your violin. I have listened all your published performances, and this is the best I have ever heard you. Thank you for the great music. Greetings from Canada.

Today is my birthday, again. I’ll wait for your beautiful play, again. See you!

Phenomenal tone, technique and expression!

Today is my birthday! Thank you for your beautiful play today. You are such a great musician. I’m a big fan of you.

Bravo, Christian. What an amazing talent, incredible maturity at such a young age!!

21:44, bravissimi! Thanks and super well done Christian! I only wished I could have listened to it live. Look forward to the Tchaikovsky and Beethoven.

Absolutely astounding performance man !!! 😄😄😄

Why thumbs down ? I am juilliard school violin alumna - yes some places are a bit off but still good folks esp his age

This had me sobbing uncontrollably at the end. absolutely outstanding!. I discovered you a few months ago and have been in absolute awe of your skill ever since and have watched all of your RU-vid videos several times over. How you have achieved so much at your age astounds me. Thank you, Christian. You are a real ray of sunshine and hope in a currently bleak world.

What a great interpretation! Christian really made his own version of Bruch. I really like this piece. Wish he can perform this with better video & audio quality!

Юный маэстро -большой талант!

Christian你以前发布的视频我看过无数遍，终于等来你上传的新视频。我很喜欢你在舞台上超级投入音乐的神情，你越来越自信了！再次感谢你的演奏给我带来的感动！

Cada vez que lo escucho con su violin me llega a mi corazon, admirable jovencito , un talento extraordinario. Dios te bendiga.

His energy performing is only eclipsed by his talent and dedication. Truly once in a generation talent.

Bravo Christian! Wow!

So beautiful! I cannot believe that you are only 12 years old.

孩子你的演奏越来越有成熟的味道了，喜欢你谦卑爱音乐演奏的模样……上帝爱你

小提琴在來之澳洲的華裔天才小子的手裡變成了身體的延伸，小提琴變成了有生命的一樣活體~太不得了了，年級這麼小，其演奏的成熟和大開打合的姿態遠超他的年齡！ 無怪乎這小提琴神童與新加坡天才小姑娘小提琴大師~蔡珂宜在2018年梅紐印國際小提琴比賽中並列榮獲第一名，，

Happy 13th Birthday, Christian! May God bless you always 🙏🎂🎁🎉

Hey Little Heifetz, haven‘t heard much from you lately but you sound great.

(femininely?) touches and finesse I think.. but both of you are so inspiring at such a young age... use it well please to help us humans in this dark patch of Corvid 19 and others to come....thank you , thank you 🙇‍♂️🙇🏻... so proud that you are a Li too !🙏🏼

A bright future awaits you young man.... Kudos... ☮️

Wow! Very impressive music. I really admire your wonderful talent

WOW! Just WOW. Thank you so much. Love from Brasil :)

Chritian, I’ve been waiting for your new RU-vid upload! And here you are. Thank you for another wonderful performance. You are absolutely AMAZING! I can’t wait until you grow up and play for people around the world who will be inspired and get comfort and happiness by your music. I will wait to be at your concert in the US some time. I can see you enjoy playing the violin, but I hope you enjoy your young life doing other things, too. You are truly a Virtuoso. I also thank your parents and your teacher for their support for you. And I hope to see you in a better sound and video next time, which may require your parents to get good equipments for listeners. I was expecting to see you on UK tour, but I guess that was called off because of COVID-19. Thank you again for making it possible for me to feel that the life is worth living. Please stay safe and healthy! From California, USA.

Am i the one that likes to watch orchestra's reaction to his playing?

You're simply the best!

어떻게 저럴수가 있지???저게 어떻게 가능하냔 말이다~~😱😱😱

Extraordinarily beautiful

Thank you!! So good to hear this, I just love how Christian expressed the feelings and emotions from this master piece. 如歌如泣！

What achievement, facility and masterful flourish Christian, bravo ! You must have heard Diana playing this winning the Senior final of the Menuhin Competition when you won the Junior. Hers has even more hfeminine

Dude. You are still amazing! Thank you!

Hi Christian, this performance is great. I know that you’ve heard that comment a lot... But I just wanted to say that you are already a highly-developed musician. You are not a young violinist anymore; you are an interpreter, an artist, not a little boy who plays violin. I can’t wait where you will be in 10 years. Keep it up!

Splendid!

Omg, please play Sibelius! 🙏

Amazing little boy

You just know he did well, very well, when even the orchestra members are cheering,, all smiles. That department store gift bag though. Probably some Xbox game cartridges.

Bravo from a fan in South Africa. Beautifully performed.

MAGNIIIIIIIFICOOOOOOO!!!......maravilloso talento CHINO nada de australiano.

Great ❤️ Thank you so much.

Stunning performance! Congratulations from Hong Kong.

He plays like solosist with years of experience. He is like a mini ray chen. Amazing job especially the 2 movment

Amazing performance and talent boy!

Que talento. Maravilha sua interpretação.Adorei.

This is an incredible performance! If you ever perform in Sydney I will have to come and hear you. Your musical maturity is insane. Like a violinist version of Alexandria Dovgan (piano).

Great performance Christian. We saw your first video was Boy Paganini, you played the piece when you were 6 yro. Very impressive as always. God bless you!

Amazing. Thank you for sharing this on RU-vid.

Bravo!!!.. Magnífico intérprete.

Are all doctors who are playing at the orchestra? My respect, that they have enough time to practice for these concerts like this.

Wonderful amazing playing. Bravo dear Christian!! However really regretful for no close up shooting....:(( Would love to see your violin playing and facial expressions more clearly!

I am in awe. Thanks.

Amazing! Bravo.

Unbelievable performance yet again from someone who could be my grandchild...bravo Christian! 👏👏👏 However, my only complaint is that the orchestra overpowered the soloist big time. He should've been amplified. I also would've liked to see some close-ups on Christian during the performance, instead of having the entire orchestra in the frame the whole time.

17:30 El esperado Tercer Movimiento :"")))))) I Love this movement so much it's my favourite UwU

Bravo, Bravo. Brilliant as always.

I love the sound! Keep playing. We classicsl players hold some of the most worthy instruments out there

Lo impossible lleva a lo POSIBLE Y MAS.

Bravo, Christian! It's a pity the audio isn't quite optimised. I'm hearing more of the orchestral accompaniment than Christian's performance. I'm sure it must have been awesome live in that hall.

bravo im supposed to be playing this but after watching this video im just speechless

Christian Li, sempre perfeito, coisa que o engenheiro de som desta gravação não compreende, não sabendo equalizar os microfones do solista, apagando o brilho de sua belíssima apresentação. Se alguém conhecê-lo deem-lhe os meus "parabéns".

Beautiful playing and great job leading the orchestra at such a young age! That cough in the audience in the beginning was so annoying though

Pequeno grande gênio 👏👏👏
