I like how he looks very shy and awkward after playing each piece, but very serious and genuinely shows enjoyment and love when he's into the play. What a cute side of Christian😂
Wow. Thanks to TwoSet, I've discovered a new prodigy (the next LingLing, probably), gotten my confidence severely shattered, but gained some powerful insight on the musicality of young musicians and the violin. Thanks for sharing your love for music and violin, and congrats on your win!
How delightful and accomplished! Best wishes for the future and congratulations to your parents and teacher. I don’t think there is room for jealousy here. You are yourself, fantastically. Thank you Christian.
I, unfortunately, don't think he sounds anywhere near an adult maestro, especially with the Wieniawski. Very messy intonation and sloppy left-hand technique which led to many missed notes and a harsh scratchy sound. The piece is clearly too hard for him and he's playing it too fast so he sacrifices a lot of sound quality. I have no doubt he would be able to nail the piece given a few more years of development, but this is a perfect example of what I don't like about pushing young kids into international competitions so early. It's ruining young rising star musicians because they're being forced to play pieces they shouldn't yet and so compensate with unorthodox technique that bites back hard later in their career. The old traditional style of raising prodigies was better. Hilary Hahn was a perfect example. Nurtured by the old guard in Curtis from a young age, and mostly kept from the limelight and competition stage until she was already a near mature violinist. This ensured a proper development "in the womb" and good preparation.
@@ChiefHerzensCoach I won't waste much time arguing with your silly comment. I stated my opinion and I have every right to do so. I've played violin for 75% of my life and won several competitions. Christian is light years more talented than me, but he has problems in his playing that I think should be criticized for his improvement. Seem like he gets sick a lot - nosebleed performing Saint Saens, fever during Menuhin? Needs to take more time for the health. Slow down a bit. Slow and steady always wins the game. Look at Hahn, Chen. Both went to Curtis and graduated before really shooting off into the stars. Could they have joined the public spotlight much earlier? Yes. They were good enough. But that would've been detrimental to their development. Christian is obviously forced forward. He has the talent too. No 10 yr old kid gets that advanced without being forced forward. You don't know anything about children if you argue otherwise. End of story.
I really like how he make it into a story instead of the competition feels. I don't feel like it's a competition anymore, it's more like a different purpose.
I love and enjoy the way he played is wonderful..there's an awesome feeling of uplifting my spirit with the presence of peace with in and something assurance of blessed hope. A blessed young player...God bless you
@@max-cc1td 2018 Menuhin. He tied with Chloe Chua who's also incredible. Christian owned the orchestra though among his many talents. I never get tired watching him.
Remarkable, truly remarkable... What is quite staggering is that such a youngster can ‘feel’ the music so intently and sensitively. Surely this comes with ‘experience of life’ but it seems I am wrong!
@@martincaracoche4657I do. And I also think kids aged 8 are capable of more sensitive nostalgia already than most adults. They haven’t had the sensitivity bashed out of them by life yet.
chaingin91 Yes I watched the complete finals live stream on Arte Concert. He took the audience by storm. And he and Cloe were so cute together at the prize ceremony.
Li is a phenomenon. And the pianist earns to be mentioned here too! But what's the matter with the audience? Is there one or are there only a few jurors? The applause is ridiculously thin and short.
i'm gonna try my luck here: if anyone has a full size violin they don't play anymore, i would gladly take them off your hands! i'm dying to learn but i don't have the funds to purchase one. i'm a grade 6 pianist with a theatre degree hence i assure you your violin's in good hands. i'm willing to pay for delivery. thank you!!
@@harumurasaki6615 If you want to buy from ebay, there’s a Chinese store called ‘yitamusic’. I’ve never tried their instruments but they receive extremely good reviews, especially for their price (
These children are immensely talented; they don't have yet the experience and dexterity of handling the instrument (they play often out of tune), but in a few years, they could become excellent performers.
Nick, Helen York You are absolutely correct! Nothing wrong with his intonation and nothing wrong with his technique. But let’s see if he can make a piece to sound like “his own” by projecting his own feelings into the interpretation. For that you probably need some more life experience than that of a 10 yo boy. Will he reach the final? I say probably yes. Will he win the juniors? I say probably not. But it will be interesting to follow this guy in the years to come!
Eh. The results show that he's good. That doesn't mean he doesn't need to improve, since there's always room for improvement, but there's very little I think he needs to change (but I'm no professional so i dunno).

Dvorak Romantic Pieces, Op 75！ I can listen to this part again and again and again! So touching!
amazing..I am speechless..the more I listen to him..the more I realize..He is a genius..so abundantly blesses ..amazing.
To play J S Bach as good as this, you have a great future. Bach is the ultimate test of musical intellect.
I love how improv is one of the rounds. Bringing improvisation back to classical music, one step at a time :D
What fantastic beautiful playing !You are exceptionally gifted ! But your teachers must also be amazing !! It was really wonderful listening !!
@@ChiefHerzensCoach Yes, but this boy was born with violin in hands. I can't stop listening him.❤

Apparently he didn’t expect himself to win and so was just enjoying it.
A great, gigantic talent in a small child!

Beautiful playing Christian.
Wow Christian you are phenomenon!!!!
Thank you for your music 😇
j'aime sa sonorité, et comme j'aime cette aria de Bach, tout est merveilleux. Il est des airs qui sont intemporels, et celui là en fait partie.
Absolutely beautiful!!
As with last year’s competition,the junior competitors are just as good as the seniors,if not better!
fluorite1971 Menuhin competition occurs once every two years. Do you know what you're even talking about?

He is really Bach's reincarnation! Amazing little man.
It is these guys who gave me faith in the violin again. Thanks to the young prodigies.
I love the freestyle improv!
Eres maravillosamente genial Christian Li. ¡Bravo!
Good job, 小衡，加油！
Only 10 yo!! Congratulations, you made it to the semifinal!
And now, first prize!!!!!

A talented young lad. I enjoyed the accompaniment style of the pianist at the semi-finals more. They really synched very well together.

Great! Wonderful!
11:20 his face expression already looks like professional

The FBI would like to know your location
4 years l8r, here i am thinking how people can misconstrue this lmao- i meant as in "oh a baby is very adorable" type way LMAO-
in the first few seconds he forgot he was being observed
He's just focused on the music nothing else it's amazing

He was still 10 back then actually 😃
At 6:48, the person got choked up because of Christian's perfect tuning!
Co wrażliwość , subtelność, pasja !!!! Powodzenia :)
This 10 yr old dude rocks
👏👏👏👏Bravo!
相当老练啊，在这个年龄能拉成这样真是不可思议。
He is sooo good I wish I can learn how to do that
Amazing!!!
Can someone notate his Improvisation? I really want to learn it.
Why would 6 people dislike this child??
Asher Wei they are jealous.
Because they're jealous
好棒！真好⋯⋯
So wonderful! speechless ! but need to clean the violin surface a little:)
grace chang this is an old violin!
why do they never mention the names of the accompanists in the INFO above? That would only be fair since they are the musical partner!
熠熠生辉！

Was she playing with the timing of his? Seemed they were not synced. But I am not familiar with that piece nor violin accompanied by piano.

Are you kidding? His intonation was better than most adults and his musicality and communication with his instrument was exceptional.

Absolutely - I thought he did, but I agree with your point.
Did you listen to the Dvorak? I think he does make the piece his own. I am glad he won, just hope he doesn't lose what makes him special.

Es una miera querer apoderarse del talento de otras culturas....
All that vibrato with the Bach? Hmmm
Since you're such an authoritative purist, could you tell FP Zimmermann the same thing too? Thanks ruclips.net/video/ltrXpNsNzh0/видео.html

Anyone with ears would hear the emotions in his playing.
