This guy is beyond gifted. He doesn't play music. Music radiates from him. I hope that if he has children, they inherit his virtuoso trait and learn to play the piano.
He interprets this so well, so right and so beautiful. He nails the simpleness and delight of this Beethoven's lovely sonata! I think this is the best version I have ever heard.
This is probably what Beethoven would have liked to hear expressed by a pianist other than himself. It comes from the heart and soul. So so very very beautiful.

It makes me think how this piece was written so many years ago that they were just like us. Felt love, pain ,happiness, anguish. Humanity isn't all together bad in the end is it...
Everything about this…he strokes the keys the same way lights kiss his skin, giving off that flickering hope in the harsh reality of life, beautiful and gentle gentle gentle.
The sweetness of 'another world' is consistent throughout this Adagio, even during the rougher part. Beautiful interpretation of Beethoven's inner yearning.
I am working on it also and following this video. It’s absolutely beautiful and Mr. Li is among the best in the world. I just finished learning Chopin’s nocturne in E flat major and was following Mr. Li’s video as well ruclips.net/video/KLzYwT9YT-c/видео.html. I couldn’t find any other video which is better. I don’t have a teacher, so RUclips is the best resort. Thank you RUclips! 🙏❤️😍
Everything about this is exquisite. This young man embodies the music, a truly unique and wonderful rendition. The sunlight shining through his soft hair, the rainbow prism of light....its quite surreal to watch. ❤
For decades I have been listening to many different interpretations of this Adagio Cantabile by renowned pianists trying to find the touch, expressiveness and tempo which matches the magic of this composition. So far Rudolf Serkin had achieved the best performance in my view. However, I must say that this magnificent rendition by Yundi is among the three best ones
@@mr.marino9247 “not even close” is an overstatement. People have different tastes in playing styles and I prefer Yundi’s version. Still I’m not gonna go putting down Barenboim because there’s no need to. I feel that there’s a need to be right in today’s internet era, but no, you don’t always need to be right.
Yundi will always be my favourite ❤. Period. I recently played one of chopin's preludes in my exam, and i went through many performances by different pianists. But his interpretation was by far the best and it helped me to get the top score in that exam. I owe it to him. Thank you yundi, and wherever you are right now please know that you are still much loved & respected!
This is simply one of the most beautiful musical works ever created by a human being. If there are only 100 musical compositions to be selected to remember mankind by, in a distant future where man is extinct and other species can only study us by what we leave behind, this would surely be one of the first compositions to select for preservation.
I can not describe how I feel when listening to this; words are not sufficient. I'm very thankful for the kind of beauty this music conveys in a world full of war and hate.
@@rebeccasu4460 Paul McCartney in Ebony and Ivory said "We all know that people are the same whereever you go There is good and bad in ev'ryone We learn to live, when we learn to give Each other what we need to survive, together alive" Whenever possible I prefer to focus on the positive and will as long as I live.
@ Rebecca Su this is not a tip line of a news outlet. Please stop pasting you comments repeatedly. Anything constructive to say? Let the rest enjoy his performance. Bravo Yundi. Please don’t give up.
This master pianist allows the focus to be upon the beautiful music instead of himself and gives it freely allowing the genius of Beethoven to be fully revealed and appreciated. Together they fill our senses with such peace and beauty. A gift from God.
god had nothing to do with it. He's linking the notes together with legato and pushing and pulling time with rubato. It's a well performed interpretation.
I am a poor piano player without the gift given to Beethoven or Chopin, but I can appreciate their work and benefit from the joy and comfort it provides and celebrate it regardless of its simplicity - like a great painting of few strokes. You explore the technical aspects of music and that's fine, but few care and judge with their ears and emotional response to the piece.
@@paulb.6751 I never ever diminished this work, It's not simple at all. In fact I can play it and the finger transitions are difficult. My point was "god has nothing to do with it".
The world is more beautiful because of you and your music! My favorite pianist!!!! Please continue. Excellent performance and high quality video recording!
Actually, it's Beethoven's music. Which has been played by Yundi and thousands of others over the years, but Yundi's interpretation is the absolute best.
Perhaps if humanity would seriously listen closely to this type of music, and consider the ultimate source of the music, hearts would be calmed, anger would abate, and peace would come.
Reader 66 What is the ultimate source of the music? You have not committed to a direct answer. (James 1:17) 'Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.' Yet we must admit that human art itself is not a 'perfect gift', insofar as sinful humans have ,made it. However the resources which our Creator has given us to enjoy music are a perfect gift. And even the greatest human 'creations' are nothing more than manipulations of raw materials supplied by God. Our 'creativity' is always derivative, never original. Does that being to approach what you are saying? David, as king-in-waiting, used to play the harp in order to calm the nerves of his paranoid father-in-law, King Saul. But eventually this therapy had its limits. Only inward spiritual transformation, which the Bible calls 'new birth', can turn individuals of our warrior race into peacemakers. For God Himself has initiated the 'peace process': (John 3:16) 'For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.'
Stunning performance. No one can play it better than you, Maestro Li. I could listen to this Adagio for hours and hours, to get inspiration from your outstanding talent and musicality. Thanks!
I love the way he played this movement. tenderness and calm. even if Beethoven himself may have played it more passionately, this version is also my taste.🤣
Yundi Lo en esta interpretación es como si su corazón hablara ,eso e s lo que yo siento cuando yo lo escucho,lo más profundo de su ser.Amo a ese joven cuando lo siento tocar
This is not a movement played pianissimo, this is a collection of notes and phrases chosen and emplaced specifically to interrupt the silence exactly to convey the mood.
I do believe... This is absolutely the result of incredible intense discipline, unbelievable determination and very, very hard work- for a very long time. You are absolutely magnificent, unbelievable and fantastic. Lol from Switzerland 🇨🇭
This my all time favorite Beethoven piece. Brings me to tears because i hear it in my soul. Yundi does this proud. I wish I had better words, just a simple man from south central Oklahoma
Listen with headphones soon after waking up in the morning and it is that much more powerful, to me at least. Not desensitized to the day yet. Truly brings a tear.
This is possibly my absolute favorite piano piece, and Yundi is definitely top 3 for best interpretations. Adagio Cantabile calms my soul every time =)
Yundi, I just love this pieve of Beethoven, and it is wonderful to listen to this beauty when you are performing. You are fanastic. Thank you so much for sharing your huge and adorable talent.
I love it! One of my favorite pieces. The harmonies, the flourishes & the phrases are all so intuitively melodic. Just an absolutely beautiful piece of art!

Yundi brings a softness, a gentleness which is rarely achieved.
Beautiful rendition, thank you!
I can’t properly put into words how beautiful this is.
A beautiful rendition of the most beautiful piece of music ever written.
He interprets this so well, so right and so beautiful. He nails the simpleness and delight of this Beethoven's lovely sonata! I think this is the best version I have ever heard.
thank you! we'll be playing this at my younger brother's funeral in 2 weeks time. God bless the little bugger! Mark RIP

I'll never stop saying it : Yundi has offered us the best ever version of this Adagio. No other pianist has ever made it so good. Not even Kempff...

Yundi's performance is optimized in this peice. What a playing that makes my emotional feelings so sentimental. I can't even..
No Barenboim, no Giles, no one can touch my heart with this piece as well as Yundi does. perfect interpretation, or at least, my favorite ever.

A bientôt !
Those right hand notes are so clear. Beautifully rendered.
Yundi+Steinway+Beethoven=unspeakably beautiful music
Extremely underrated pianist, I can truly feel life in his music. Unlike some superstar pianists who just showcase speed and technicality.
I think you should probably use the word accomplished instead of underrated with regard to yundi li
Hmm, he IS NOT underrated at all...
Wunderschön ❤❤❤
The most beautiful interpretation of the most beautiful melody.
Und wenn ich mir das noch einhundert Mal anhöre, ist es doch immer wieder Herzbewegend und mich in meinen tiefsten Tiefen berührend vielen Dank
This is Beethoven, a passionate profound thinker. Great version of the piece.
I have to say Yundi's is the best one of this piece. His playing can really touch your soul...
This my all time favorite Beethoven piece. Brings me to tears because i hear it in my soul. Yundi does this proud.
I wish I had better words, just a simple man from south central Oklahoma
Touches the soul with such depth, sound and yet simplicity all at the same time.
