The best classical pianist to grace the earth. I am a pianist myself and Li Yundi opened my eyes as to what piano playing could be and should be. His perfect technique combined with the ability to express the deepest and most passionate emotions under his masterful hands is the first of any pianist ever seen before (those excruciatingly beautiful passages always brings tears to my eyes even in repeated listenings). He cares and pours his soul into his music playing. I am very lucky to have the chance to see and hear this great pianist in my lifetime. His performances are always exciting, colourful and moving. If he has ever disappointed before, it was probably he wasn't in his top form. When he's at his best, there is no second near enough. It is incorrect to label him a Chopin specialist only, because he plays others - Schumann's Carnaval, Liszt, Prokofiev, Beethoven's Emperor, beautiful Chinese pieces to name a few - with equally distinguishing superb performances. He is a great interpreter of any work that falls into his hands.
+Rick Howard Yes, same too for me ! I was absolutely captivated by his performances there. Missing last sentence should read - "He is a great interpreter of any work that falls into his hands."
+Masquerade J I agree with you that Yundi Li is an exceptionally good pianist. However, before crowning him "the best", I suggest you listen to pianists going back to 1930 to find some equally brilliant performances. Of course, these recordings/videos suffer from inferior technical recording system and electronic wizardry that greatly enhance the sound (at times tailoring it and modifying it so that any "errors" are treated and cured before you and I ever hear the finished product). Don't deprive yourself of the pleasure of learning from the many, many talents that have preceded us. It would be a shame if you limit yourself to the latest and most popular or best marketed ones.
+Masquerade J Grave at 47:53, Chopin sonatano 2 was way to fast!!! He is a good pianist, however in recent years he has become arrogant. His Chopin competition performance was the best ever!! Wishing he would show more humility. I will contact his manager, He was absent from the jury at 2015 Chopin competition in Warsaw, had a wedding to attend in China, why accept the invitaion to be a juror. Also gave the lowest marks for many pianists during that competition. Im disappointed in him. Sometimes too much fame is not good!!!
Hope he can come back to the stage. His sensitivity and expression of emotions playing Chopin make him one of the best pianists in the world. His private life is his to live, we judge him by his music and skill. I will go to his concert anytime if he plays again.
l love his running notes, super less padel and fast fingers which make sound so even and clean. It can tell his fingers are all super independent individually, just like hundred pearls fall down from stairs and you can still hear each of them. Enjoy his playing❤️

@@mcrettable Technically, Zimerman is flawless. But his interpretations of Chopin lack the intimacy and moodiness I hear in the music and that Li brings out so beautifully.

I heared this concert by him, in the KKL in Lucerne. It was so abnormal. I mean, it's physical viewed not possible to play in such a clearness and speed at the same time?!!! Or could you imagine how you can play like that?
There's "classical" music and then there is the Classical Period. Chopin lived and composed his music during the Romantic Period, which came an entire century after Mozart's time (the Classical Period) Apples and oranges.
Each note that Yundi makes is drawn from deep within. The perfectly beautiful sound has dignity, and I am fascinated by Yundi's performance more than anyone else. I want to go to Yundi's concert. I hope that Yundi will resume her performance activities in good health.❤🎹🎶🙏🙏🙏

"Cada nota de Chopin es un diamante que cayó del cielo". Franz Liszt Interpretacion magistral de Yundi Li.....ha llegado a mi alma y mi corazon. 真感谢。李雲迪 !!!!!
@Gabo Prado thanks for your encouragement! That’s what I tell my adult students all the time! I am actually a music conservatory graduate and have been teaching since my graduation. As I have said, I am a “perpetual student “ still trying to learn more repertoire. Are you also a pianist? All good wishes go to you, friend!!!😀😃😃
Your very helpful time cues start at 47:54. Would it be possible for you to tell us what the earlier time cues were ? That would be greatly appreciated. With many thanks and best wishes, Allan Green
Yeah, saw his performance in Carnegie Hall a few years ago. People were clapping between mvts there too. I just think they're unaware of common classical music etiquette.
