Dvorak Violin Sonatina in G Major - Christian Li (Aged 11) 

Love his expression ...his personality shows through!

Christian Li, you are the best junior violinist in the world. Even under extreme pressure, you handle the music maturely. Keep being amazing!

This kid is incredible. The technique, the musicality and confidence is stunning. An actual prodigy.

Wow, the kid is so cute and the music sweetable...!! I love it

Absolutely brilliant and I am a retired professional cellist. This young lad will be the Yo yo Ma of tomorrow. He exudes such maturity. Close your eyes and you are listening to a mature man. Isaac Stern would have fostered and mentored, such a talent.

Each piece I watch Christian play I just don’t know which words to use as he leaves me speechless with his skill and total control of the violin. It is not only a joy to listen to he is a joy to watch as well. He is one with the instrument and you can see how much he loves playing. Another outstanding performance.

Superlative in every way, both violin and piano. To Christian Li and Laurance Matheson: when your incomparable duo performs your first recital in Carnegie Hall, and I know you will, please play this piece. You are a peerless duo, perfectly synchronized, thinking and feeling together like twins. This video deserves to be immortalized in a time capsule. To all my fellow listeners: we are lucky to be alive in a world where these two maestros bring the genius of Dvorak to life in this brilliant, glistening Sonatina. To the parents and teachers of these two perfect musicians: unadulterated praise and thanks. Lilian Duval, U.S.

What a darling of a little man who will someday be famous. We are lucky to see him as he grows through his stages into the full adult famous violinist world wide. He is very strong guy to take on so much learning and discipline and conduct himself in such a mature manner that is uncommon in most of the population of unruly kids these days with no real goals. His work will be rewarded. I pray he get the nurturing and off time needed to have a well rounded life. Am anxious to see him blossom once he reaches manhood.. He is another of Gods gifts of prodigies that we are so fortunate to see on RU-vid. Thanks YT.

Christian Li, you never disappoint! It always brings me so much joy to listen to you and watch you perform. Goodness, you have matured musically so much in just one year! I am always so impressed by your ability to collaborate with other musicians. You and your accompanist, Laurence Matheson, worked so well together. BRAVO!

Every night, I listen to him. Seeing his passionate playing motivates me to take up the violin, and add it to my piano career. Thank you so much for bringing joy to my life. Of course, thank you to your parent's for giving him encouragement every day. What method do you use to practice? As an advanced pianist, practice is extremely important to achieve a stellar performance, such as the one above. Thank you, and keep giving us extraordinary music.

Thank you for bringing such beautiful music to this world. We love you Christian!

Oh Christian grew up and he is taller now•ᴗ•But the song he plays is still so "Christian" I love it soooooooo much!

Close my eyes, I couldn't believe this is a performance by an eleven year old boy !!!

Wonderful! I’m always impressed by your performance on RU-vid. I’d like to listen to your live performance. I hope I can have chances for it.

Talent of the century.

Wow. Amazing

WELL DONE FROM EGYPT

An actual prodigy. Great performance

Respects to the pianist!

It's very inspiring to see such passion, almost exploding from such a young person. Loved the humour in the scherzo. Nicely played by Mr Matheson too.

You have such artistic maturity

Wow, you are so talented, you are the person I look up to. Keep up the amazing work! ❤️

my kids my husband and I have a playlist just with you which we play at home quite often. You are an inspiration for my 2 kids (4 and 9) to play, study and enjoy music

amazing, wonderful, beautiful Christian, xoxo from Southamerica Paraguay

Wow....no wonder he won the national competition of Australia

This is beautifully played and accompanied, thank you. I really love how you’ve transitioned to this massive 3/4. Great sound. Fantastic tempos. You really went for it in that 4th movement 😂

Very inspirational to me as always 😊😊😊😊👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wunderbar! Wunderbar!

As wonderful and enjoyable as always. This perfectly illustrates what a talented person is like. 祝快乐成长，快乐练琴，终成音乐大家🎵 And, the Vivaldi summer you played during the Menuhin competition(Junior final) is the best version I've ever seen on the internet. It's just full of unreplaceable and unique 灵性和夏天的热情--The priceless feeling I can not even find a word in English to express...

wow... this is awesome...

So beautiful!

Wonderfull, very nice interpretation....

You are so good! I'm just amazed!

Tour simplement magnifique... Merci.

nothing to say . you are a miracle and I think that all people know that,i hope to see you at the top ...😍😍😍

👏👏👏👏👏👏 최고~~!!!👍👍👍👍

So motivational, thank you

Nie mam słów. To geniusz dar boski

Christian eres precioso 💕

superbe!💐💐

incredibly mature and sophisticated music-making....

To hear you it's a privilege!

This is not just another 11yr kid playing the violin. Many can do that. This is an 11yr old who plays with the insight and understanding of a true artist. That is what makes him so extraordinary. He also has a wonderful pianist accompanying him . Great team

Beautiful! Your vibrato is almost like Janine Jansen’s!

If only I could play this well.

Was just thinking of You n here You are!! What an improvement... You're playing beautifully!!

Très belle sonatine, pleine de charme, ici très bien jouée par les deux musiciens. Que l'un des deux soit très jeune, personnellement, je m'en fiche. La plupart des "zenfan prodiges" ne deviennent pas des professionnels, et c'est tant mieux. Vive la musique libre !

Hi I’m Alexander I love that you played the first part and you didn’t do anything rige

😍😍😍

Great duo. Love me some Christian especially playing some of my very faves. Looks like a different violin...full size? I wonder. Keep chasing your passion, I’m quite sure you’ll be famous for a long time...I hope so, because I love hearing you!

I love youuu

Wow //I am 11 year old I feeling shy now this is beautiful. amazing

真的好厲害喔~繼續加油喔^^

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Is this violin made by the Nicolo Amati predecessor of Antonio Stradivari? That Nicolo Amati died in 1684. Anyway, violins need violinists, and your playing is wonderful. I hope to listen you playing Mazurek, also by Dvorak!

Dear Parents, 1stThank you for this gift! Christian is going to be the best violinist from all sides (musically he is really good and, of course, technically) Please, ask him for me (as a violinist) what is in his mind during his playing? Does he think about notes, about accuracy or how to shift and get right note? Or something else? It will be really helpful for us - common persons. Regards

Çok güzel👍👍

拉得真好 尤其中斷的結構 這麼小年紀就把握得這麼好!!

12:13 last movement

I am the same age, and play in a violin concert

I don’t get how his arm playing the notes aren’t tired! When I play the violin and I play for 2 minutes straight my arm hurts soooo bad,... how tho!!

What kind of shoulder rest does Christian use? 他真的很好👍我也拉小提请但是我没有他好！

加油鸭

👍👍👍👍👍

I wish Yehudi Menuhin could see you.

Two wonderful, sensitive musicians. A brief comment would be Mr Matheson might do well to consider using less una corda - it devalues the range of colour and control which I am sure he has, and it does Mr Li no favours in listening to and blending with a wider tonal colour range around him because his violin will always be "on top" even when it needn't (or shouldn't) be. Nevertheless, a distinct pleasure to see two young performers at this stage of their journey enjoying themselves with honest music making without the histrionics and artificial "expressions" that seem to have become the norm with too many up-and-coming instrumentalists. Well done, guys!

What violin do you play Christian?

Christian! You are a great musician! Would you mind telling what size instrument and bow you use here? Bow looks short, violin big. Whatever it is sounds great!

twoset needs to do a collab

A kid holding an antique violin SaCriLEgiOuS

😊😡😍😋

He seems very emotional boy! Is he a libra horoscopicaly?

He must be Ling Ling

Chinese?

孩子再大些最好来欧洲发展，学习或演出合作机会都更多

闭上眼睛哪能相信是一个11岁的小孩拉的呀。

I would recommend him to play short pieces (to 6 min.) on stage. His brain like supercomputer and it will be not healthy to force him to do this mega performance during such long period of time. Nose Bleeding is effect from such big pressure on his brain. Parents, you should know, that during performance, artist uses almost every part of his brain. Like engine overheating during fast driving. I'm worrying about his health, He is a really nice boy. Please, tell him that he is already popular in Ukraine) My best wishes !

ling ling could play it at age 3

If you just want to practice that piece DON'T watch asian kid videos!

I don’t get how his arm playing the notes aren’t tired! When I play the violin and I play for 2 minutes straight my arm hurts soooo bad,... how tho!!
