that is crazy lol...wtf, aren't these people supposed to be bunch of rich or so called sophisticated or "educated" people that supposed to know these pieces? lmao otherwise, why da hell they even there? bizarre
I see. Xí Jìnpíng or Chinese communist party is persecuting any "idols" like Yundi as potential potential threats. That is so incredible. I pray Yundi would not suffer. Can he somehow flee to anywhere oversees?
With some tears, and deep emotion I listen to this. Maybe because I am Chinese; I am a violinist...Or perhaps neither and simply as a music lover and someone serving music. This playing has no affectation, no pompousness, no staging, no lack of SELF RESPECT. It is noble, beautiful, and has none of the stuff people associate the "Asian competition style" of playing. He totally disappears, you do not hear him, you do not hear interpretation, you only hear music that happens to be created by Chopin. one can count with one hand of great masters who makes music in that manner, yundi is in the league of Casals, Stern, rubinstein, etc. Carnegie Hall had heard both Horowitz and Rubinstein playing the ballad, in the electrifying legendary performances. I grew up with those records, and I shall think all the greats are smiling during this concert.
It’s not just you! I hear this too. No affectation. His innate sensitivity is so profound, he surely must be playing these as Chopin himself heard them. He’s my new favorite, when I thought only Harasiewicz and Ashkenazy were the best at Chopin. ❤
Whether you realize it or not, we will never hear the piano played any better -- or more beautifully -- than that. I have never heard the preludes played with such depth of feeling, keen insight, heartbreaking poignancy and certainly never with greater power, dexterity, refinement, expertise and marvelous variety of such, tone and dynamic gradations. This beautiful young man plumbed the very depths of Chopin's soul, and revealed the exquisite tenderness, the heartbreak, the longing, -- and the FURY and the DESPAIR Chopin must have experienced in his all-too-brief life. This is not PIANO PLAYING, this is SUBLIME ARTISTRY at its very best. N human being has ever gotten any closer to perfection that young Mr. Li. May God continue to bless and protect him throughout a long, fruitful and fulfilling life.
Yundi, hang in there. Don’t give up. We look forward to your returning to concert stages! Your music has enriched the lives of all your fans and listeners.
37:18 Carnegie Hall audience clapping in the middle of the piece... Love how Yundi interacted with the audience there. When the clapping stopped he nodded to say "Thank you".
and then they started clapping before he released the (actual) final chord. not only ignorant but also arrogant. I really wonder what kind of people went to the theater that day.
@@hrx2470 Okay, but lets's be fair. I saw a video on YT in which the Vienna Philharmonic was playing at the Musikfereine and the "über-sophisticated" Viennese audience applauded enthusiastically at the "false ending" of von Weber's "Invitation to the Dance." Ach du lieber!
Namumyohorengekyo Any our life have to go through upheaval misery. However it's so heartbreaking to observe such rare pure genius to be persecuted like public political victimisation and manipulation. I pray he may persevere all those hard persecution. His musical personalities may remain as shining as ever.
yundi is the closest to hearing frederic chopin live. this is how chopin is supposed to be played. that he also infuses so much tenderness and care for the score while remaining steadfast to it is a testament to his capacity as a pianist. truly world class.
used to just hear his name and got to know him and his performance in these two weeks, and starting to become a fan of him and his music. Look forward to hearing his music again. I believe he will rise again stronger and maturer and focus more on the music itself.
Saw this exact concert in Liverpool Uk in 2016. Wonderful music, the audience threw bouquets at the end. Yundi Li plays Chopin the best of any pianist.
About ten years ago I went to Carnegie for Pollini. New Yorkers loved clapping. They clapped all the time and clapped between movements. They reached new height of clapping in this clip. Simply amazing.
New Yorkers ❤ The Clap. I was present when almost 3000 people at Carnegie Hall applauded before the "false ending" of "Invitation to the Dance." (But the audience at Der Musikverrein does it as well.)
No pianist plays the same after ten years, not to say twenty years. If they did, then they must not have lived! Great pianists know how to evolve from brilliance to artistry. Dazzling performances attract attention and awe. All pianists must dazzle to start. But a life of purely dazzling performances will turn the pianist into a performer per se and nothing more. Yundi Li is one of the very few pianists who has both poetry and virtuosity to stun anyone. I am glad to see him moving in the right direction and I can see and hear the differences in his artistic maturity from his recordings and performances. Comments comparing his current playing to twenty years ago are needless and useless.
Very thoughtful comments. As well, no two performances are exactly the same on the same tour either. Musicians have learned to carry on during a live performance even if there was a missed note. That's the beauty and excitement of attending a live performance, like watching a fireworks display.
Poetry, musicianship, he has it all. Much much much better than showman googly-eyes- to-the-audience-prestissimo Lang Lang. I come for the music, not a show. Yundi Li is dazzling and becoming one of the best. That coda is a killer ! wow.
A pianist who plays Liszt perfectly may play Chopin terribly. Chopin himself would agree that Yundi’s rendition is standard like the answer key. Yundi is the Chopin expert after Arthur Rubinstein. 1:18:45, the encore is a traditional Chinese song called colorful clouds chasing the moon.
57:54 the famous "Raindrop" Prelude. Yundi's version is so incredibly misty, morose and dreamlike... I've never heard any one play Chopin like he does with so much nuance in his tones and color... simply breathtaking
I listened to this performance again today. His music has gone beyond just music. I can feel so much sorrow, anger, wistfulness , helplessness, and pain in the ballads. Yet there is so much power and resolution.
The more times I listened and watched, the more I see and hear the beauty and subtlety of his playing. This is a performance that makes one want to go back for more and more.
Some famous pianists just get the score right. Others strive for technical mastery through speed, which is so common for Chinese musicians these days, but here, here we have mastery of tone, which tells apart good from great! He is not afraid to slow down the tempo especially for Ballade #2, in order to show the lines, and this is what I call interpretation!🙏
Yundi Li is the Horowitz of our time. It’s absolutely special. In this day and age it’s squandering his talent if we don’t recognize him on a global stage.
Ershen Lin I agree. But I think you can reverse that statement and be true. They’re both so technically sound and such a powerful voice. Their utmost respect for the composition paired with their brilliant interpretation is what makes them special.
@@cardboardbox476 You could reverse my statement at the level of sentence and becomes: "Yundi Li is an artist; Horowitz is a technician". Sure! Why not? Or you could reverse my statement at the level of words and become: "Artist an is Li Yundi, technician a is Horowitz". Good? Not sure. Probably you meant to EXCHANGE the names in the two sentences. Well, it is still correct in grammar; the rest, I am not sure.
@@cardboardbox476 "utmost respect for the composition" is hard to define, and it might not be compatible with "brilliant interpretation". "Utmost respect for the composition" typically calls for restraint in interpretation. In any event, I feel neither Horowitz nor Li is well known for their "brilliant interpretation". They both show restraint, but in different ways.
Ershen Lin you’re absolutely right. Exchange is what I meant and I’m as loosely proficient in grammar as I am at critiquing music. What I meant was I’ve never seen anyone play octaves like Horowitz in Chopin’s ballade in g minor. I see that as an interpretation born out of sheer technical ability. Albeit a nuanced interpretation. And I believe Yundi Li is in that same conversation rather than as a Lang Lang or a Glen Gould - whom I think are geniuses- that completely reimagine the composition. Horowitz and Li are my favorites because I feel they stick to the source material but still create art.
This really was a superb recital. What is unique about Yundi, and there is no living pianist who can approach him in this respect, is his rubato. The nanosecond gives and takes in tempo and touch is what makes his playing so spellbinding. The only miscalculation was that he took the Carnegie audience for granted that they would not clap before the end of the Fourth Ballade. Many pianists rehearse this bar of silence so that audience would not clap. Never mind, the enthusiastic and adoring New York audience would clap anyway, as they did in the middle of the 24 Preludes. Bernstein used to finish the third movement of the Tchaikovsky's Pathetique symphony with a triumphant flourish and let the audience clap for half a minute, but then to plunge you into the deepest abyss in the tragic last movement.
That sacrilegious clapping in the 4th Ballade though. Regardless, One of the best renditions of all 4 ballades. weird how so many people at Carnegie don't know how the piece goes.
so when chopin first debuted his ballades he expected everyone to know the ending of the 4th? guys, we have a hard enough time getting the next generation to even come to concerts and now you want to shame them for trying? if you want masterpieces to die, this is the way to do it. no one gives a shit about how well you know a piece. i competed in piano for over 10 years playing pieces from romantic era composers before i ever heard this piece. i happen to know the unspoken etiquette that you dont clap until the pianist rises, but this is not something u learn in math class. get over yourselves. it is not prerequisite to know a piece or even know classical etiquette to come to a music concert. the only requirement is that you open your soul and acknowledge there is more to the musical world than mumble rap
Chopin always found inspiration from operatic music. Each note is with intention, never rushed, and sung. And Yundi Li is able to bring that out in Chopin’s music.
American classical music loves in rapturous applause! Such virtuoso rendition, I see Chopin playing with Yundi. What a pianist!!! Love him! And love the American audience! Never tire of listening to this recording!
S'il arrive à s'abandonner complètement à sa musique malgré la pression de l'environnement ce pianiste sera accompli. J'en suis pour le moment moi-même incapable. Mes félicitations à ce pianiste brillant
I love how Yundi Li plays the 3rd Ballade. Most pianists usually rushed the broken octaves part, in an attempt to make the Ballade look as technically hard as the other three Ballades. On the contrary, Li plays it slowly, gradually increasins speed till the climax of the passage. I love it. 3rd Ballade is another kind of beast, maybe not as impresive technically speaking as the other three, but musically amazing (Gold Era pianists usually chose 3rd Ballade over 1st and 4th in their recitals) 4th Ballade performance is a jewel aswell. The main theme recapitulation from 30:36 to 31:14 is just perfect, enhacing the countermelody on the left hand (usually neglected by many pianists). Definitely, one my favourite renditions of the Set, almost as lovely as Zimmerman's and Friedman's. PS: Shit, i use to think that Carnegie Hall audience had some classical music knowledge. What part of the audience does in the 4th ballade, just before the Coda is a shame: cringe moment. Yundi shows how an amazing pianist and person he is. (If that fail would have happened with another pianist maybe the performance would have ended at that wery moment)
kzelmer He shapes this part just so creatively. I’m working on the 3rd Ballade Op.47 recently and have heard some records, Zimerman, Pollini, Rubinstein...And it’s the first time that I heard this shaping. Also I have to say playing at the standard tempo is tough, so maybe I’ll learn from this video to make it a little easier.
I think the more you listen to Yundi's albums & live performances, the clearer you will realize that his interpretation of Chopin is one of the few that would not exhaust your ears, which is very hard to do given Chopin's expressive power in his music itself (how to show all the details while not "over-playing" them). Yundi is clearly getting more and more anti-virtuosic and self-restraint, as he shifts his attention from details of music to the overall structure or skeleton of the pieces. I know it is a matter of taste in most situations--some people prefer performances filled with "obvious" details and surprising interpretations. Personally I also enjoy different interpretations, which is what makes Chopin's music so wonderful, yet these performances/recordings won't become my favorite. Still others comment that they prefer 2000-version of Yundi. Yes, he was wonderful back then, but time is flowing and Yundi is transforming, with some bumps along the way (but who cares), so how would you expect the same "sound" coming back after almost 20 years?
Lang Lang is very good just not my type heh. Lang Lang is the type that caters more to the mainstream audience I guess therefore he plays showy and all. But he is in fact an extraordinary pianist for example his don Juan
The performance of the Ballades is hard to beat, even by the great masters of the last century, with possible exception of Cortot. It is a pity that the integrity of the last was compromised by the silly audience. Well, life is not perfect; it is what it is.
Li had ups and downs in his performances over the years, but I'm happy that he showed such mastery of this repertoire here. And the clapping during the Ballade 4 really ruined it, what a shame.
Yundi played with much refinement and restraint, avoiding excessive drama just to impress the audience in this Carnegie Hall performance. His lyricism and pianism make his playing such a joy to listen to. His interpretation of the Ballades and Preludes make his performance unique in a very crowded field of great pianists who have recorded them. To perform Chopin's most challenging and beautiful masterpieces in one recital has to be a gutsy decision. He did this over 55 times last season across Europe, North America, Japan and China. Some of his fans followed him around just to hear his slight different interpretations at each performance. I own both his albums. Thanks to the posting, I can appreciate the differences.
This is such an exquisite display of Chopin’s music. What I like most after watching this performance is that I cannot but increase my admiration of the genius of Chopin-the greatest composer of piano music. There is no other composer who knew how to use the piano as a “voice” as he did. This performance draws you into the beauty, power, and emotions of Chopin’s Ballads and Preludes. Sheer music enjoyment at its best.
Imaginem a emoção e o nervosismo em se tocar no Carnegie Hall: Yundi Li, com todo seu talento, na qualidade de vencedor do concurso Chopin que participou estava visivelmente tenso e ofegante ao abrir o recital executando a primeira balada, por sinal de maneira brilhante, pois se ouvia claramente a respiração dele. Depois se acalmou, a respiração voltou ao normal; até porque a balada em sol menor é peça de respeito e abrir o repertório com ela não é prá qualquer um, é para o melhor pianista da atualidade, de longe!
A competição está em um nível totalmente diferente do Carnegie Hall, ela é insuperável! Embora alguns possam discordar, pra mim a competição de Chopin é o auge e a melhor forma de abrir a carreira!

Poetry, musicianship, he has it all. Much much much better than showman googly-eyes- to-the-audience-prestissimo Lang Lang. I come for the music, not a show. Yundi Li is dazzling and becoming one of the best. That coda is a killer ! wow.
A pianist who plays Liszt perfectly may play Chopin terribly. Chopin himself would agree that Yundi’s rendition is standard like the answer key. Yundi is the Chopin expert after Arthur Rubinstein.
1:18:45, the encore is a traditional Chinese song called colorful clouds chasing the moon.
云迪！你是世界的
57:54 the famous "Raindrop" Prelude. Yundi's version is so incredibly misty, morose and dreamlike... I've never heard any one play Chopin like he does with so much nuance in his tones and color... simply breathtaking
望回归初心 忘却前程往事 真诚的心对待音乐！ 加油！
我從你得到蕭邦首獎後就很喜歡你的琴聲,還是很多人期待再聽到你的演奏的,加油!
CHOPIN MY DEAR!!!
世事无常，人生几多起伏。艺术永恒，早日回归净土。
Yundi Li is a master in Chopin. This is awesome playing !!
So elegant… melt my heart.
非常美妙的琴声！把人带入仙境！可以忘掉一切烦恼！望云迪用音乐驱除一切烦恼！用音乐洗涤伤口！振作起来全身心的投入到音乐的怀抱里！
Would love him to stay in the West! He has not been here in a long long time. Missed his music.
I listened to this performance again today. His music has gone beyond just music. I can feel so much sorrow, anger, wistfulness , helplessness, and pain in the ballads. Yet there is so much power and resolution.
Strongly believe that Yundi Li plays the authentic Chopin style. We fans are here for enjoying with poetic expressions of Chopin's music world.
Not to see Yuja Wang's @$$ ?
(Ya gotta shake y'er Money Maker - right, honey?)
The more times I listened and watched, the more I see and hear the beauty and subtlety of his playing. This is a performance that makes one want to go back for more and more.
钢琴王子李云迪的琴声百听不厌……沉醉其中了🌹🌹🌹
I fall in love with his sound over and over again
Beautiful.... Thank You for sharing your gift. May you enjoy all that life and love have to offer. 🌼 🌹 💐 🏵
Bravo! Yundi you are the best. The whole world loves you and your music.
盼望李云迪回归
美妙的琴声悠扬的旋律，美妙极了！
Yundi‘s Ballade No.1 is absolutely perfect! I love his interpretation so much!
Yeah !! Me too ! Especially the Coda Tempo is very Good !! 👏👏👍
Come back again, words cannot express how much I love Yundi's play of Ballade no. 1 & no.4.
He is so gifted.
Some famous pianists just get the score right. Others strive for technical mastery through speed, which is so common for Chinese musicians these days, but here, here we have mastery of tone, which tells apart good from great!
He is not afraid to slow down the tempo especially for Ballade #2, in order to show the lines, and this is what I call interpretation!🙏
Yundi Li is the Horowitz of our time. It’s absolutely special. In this day and age it’s squandering his talent if we don’t recognize him on a global stage.
Horowitz is a technician; Yundi Li is an artist.
Ershen Lin I agree. But I think you can reverse that statement and be true. They’re both so technically sound and such a powerful voice. Their utmost respect for the composition paired with their brilliant interpretation is what makes them special.
@@cardboardbox476 You could reverse my statement at the level of sentence and becomes: "Yundi Li is an artist; Horowitz is a technician". Sure! Why not?
Or you could reverse my statement at the level of words and become: "Artist an is Li Yundi, technician a is Horowitz". Good? Not sure.
Probably you meant to EXCHANGE the names in the two sentences. Well, it is still correct in grammar; the rest, I am not sure.
@@cardboardbox476 "utmost respect for the composition" is hard to define, and it might not be compatible with "brilliant interpretation". "Utmost respect for the composition" typically calls for restraint in interpretation.
In any event, I feel neither Horowitz nor Li is well known for their "brilliant interpretation". They both show restraint, but in different ways.
Ershen Lin you’re absolutely right. Exchange is what I meant and I’m as loosely proficient in grammar as I am at critiquing music. What I meant was I’ve never seen anyone play octaves like Horowitz in Chopin’s ballade in g minor. I see that as an interpretation born out of sheer technical ability. Albeit a nuanced interpretation. And I believe Yundi Li is in that same conversation rather than as a Lang Lang or a Glen Gould - whom I think are geniuses- that completely reimagine the composition. Horowitz and Li are my favorites because I feel they stick to the source material but still create art.
加油儿云迪！
This really was a superb recital. What is unique about Yundi, and there is no living pianist who can approach him in this respect, is his rubato. The nanosecond gives and takes in tempo and touch is what makes his playing so spellbinding. The only miscalculation was that he took the Carnegie audience for granted that they would not clap before the end of the Fourth Ballade. Many pianists rehearse this bar of silence so that audience would not clap. Never mind, the enthusiastic and adoring New York audience would clap anyway, as they did in the middle of the 24 Preludes. Bernstein used to finish the third movement of the Tchaikovsky's Pathetique symphony with a triumphant flourish and let the audience clap for half a minute, but then to plunge you into the deepest abyss in the tragic last movement.
Lovely performancy, Yundi Li is truly a master pianist, its such a joy to watch his performances :)
That sacrilegious clapping in the 4th Ballade though. Regardless, One of the best renditions of all 4 ballades. weird how so many people at Carnegie don't know how the piece goes.
"Sophisticated" New Yorkers.
Bo ci ,ktorzy klaszcza w nieodoowiednim nomencie to publicznisc snobistyczna !
天籁之音。请多多演出。
Piano will shine his path out.
so when chopin first debuted his ballades he expected everyone to know the ending of the 4th? guys, we have a hard enough time getting the next generation to even come to concerts and now you want to shame them for trying? if you want masterpieces to die, this is the way to do it. no one gives a shit about how well you know a piece. i competed in piano for over 10 years playing pieces from romantic era composers before i ever heard this piece. i happen to know the unspoken etiquette that you dont clap until the pianist rises, but this is not something u learn in math class. get over yourselves. it is not prerequisite to know a piece or even know classical etiquette to come to a music concert. the only requirement is that you open your soul and acknowledge there is more to the musical world than mumble rap
Chopin always found inspiration from operatic music. Each note is with intention, never rushed, and sung. And Yundi Li is able to bring that out in Chopin’s music.
American classical music loves in rapturous applause! Such virtuoso rendition, I see Chopin playing with Yundi. What a pianist!!! Love him! And love the American audience! Never tire of listening to this recording!
Beautiful , refined and elegant performance !!
確實是一位不可多得，才華洋溢的華人鋼琴家。可惜在中國大陸被假道學給毀了！應該是得罪過太多人啦！
I pray for his back to the stage he belongs to. 🙏🙏🙏
已经7个月没有消息了，云迪你还好吗？☁应该在天上，不要被凡尘俗世侵扰。我们还是会一如既往的支持你爱你❤
Such a treat to end my day listening to Chopin being played by Yundi Li. Always an amazing performance.
This is an outstanding performance. and Yundi li is such a great artist as well as gentleman
S'il arrive à s'abandonner complètement à sa musique malgré la pression de l'environnement ce pianiste sera accompli. J'en suis pour le moment moi-même incapable. Mes félicitations à ce pianiste brillant
Yundi Li’s concert in Australia is postponed! Why!! We are expecting you come back on your stage sooooon!🙏
Yundi is the best !
When was this performance? Year of 2016?
我很喜歡李雲迪在蕭邦大賽的表現，自然不強求，很細緻，讓人聽得很舒服…希望他在這次事件，能好好沉澱，再次展現他細緻的感受力給聽眾….
2016
CHOPIN COMPETITION NOT CHOPARD!!
蕭邦大賽 in English is CHOPIN COMPETITION
I love how Yundi Li plays the 3rd Ballade. Most pianists usually rushed the broken octaves part, in an attempt to make the Ballade look as technically hard as the other three Ballades. On the contrary, Li plays it slowly, gradually increasins speed till the climax of the passage. I love it. 3rd Ballade is another kind of beast, maybe not as impresive technically speaking as the other three, but musically amazing (Gold Era pianists usually chose 3rd Ballade over 1st and 4th in their recitals)
4th Ballade performance is a jewel aswell. The main theme recapitulation from 30:36 to 31:14 is just perfect, enhacing the countermelody on the left hand (usually neglected by many pianists).
Definitely, one my favourite renditions of the Set, almost as lovely as Zimmerman's and Friedman's.
PS: Shit, i use to think that Carnegie Hall audience had some classical music knowledge. What part of the audience does in the 4th ballade, just before the Coda is a shame: cringe moment. Yundi shows how an amazing pianist and person he is. (If that fail would have happened with another pianist maybe the performance would have ended at that wery moment)
kzelmer He shapes this part just so creatively. I’m working on the 3rd Ballade Op.47 recently and have heard some records, Zimerman, Pollini, Rubinstein...And it’s the first time that I heard this shaping. Also I have to say playing at the standard tempo is tough, so maybe I’ll learn from this video to make it a little easier.
Eccezionale : fraseggio , colori , controllo , tocco , dinamica. Bravo! 😉👌
Ogni nota ascoltata col cuore
Bravo
I wish yun di come back to the stage again
☕️🇫🇷💕 Love and support from Paris-Chongqing
还是第一次听李云迪弹第一叙事曲，感觉很特别，在节奏上和其他版本不一样。希望重出江湖，他依然是历史上第一个获奖中国人最年轻。
I think the more you listen to Yundi's albums & live performances, the clearer you will realize that his interpretation of Chopin is one of the few that would not exhaust your ears, which is very hard to do given Chopin's expressive power in his music itself (how to show all the details while not "over-playing" them). Yundi is clearly getting more and more anti-virtuosic and self-restraint, as he shifts his attention from details of music to the overall structure or skeleton of the pieces. I know it is a matter of taste in most situations--some people prefer performances filled with "obvious" details and surprising interpretations. Personally I also enjoy different interpretations, which is what makes Chopin's music so wonderful, yet these performances/recordings won't become my favorite. Still others comment that they prefer 2000-version of Yundi. Yes, he was wonderful back then, but time is flowing and Yundi is transforming, with some bumps along the way (but who cares), so how would you expect the same "sound" coming back after almost 20 years?
太赞了！喜欢李云迪的演奏，期待再次听到新的节目！
A masterclass for Lang Lang
OMG this comment just made my day XD
Yea...never like Lang's extravagant style
Lang Lang is very good just not my type heh. Lang Lang is the type that caters more to the mainstream audience I guess therefore he plays showy and all. But he is in fact an extraordinary pianist for example his don Juan
Wonderful in every way Yundi. Bravo
Yun Di is so amazing! love his music.
Yundi Li
Dear Yundi: after listening to this performance, i've decided to follow your fb. Thank you very much for this world-class contribution
The performance of the Ballades is hard to beat, even by the great masters of the last century, with possible exception of Cortot. It is a pity that the integrity of the last was compromised by the silly audience. Well, life is not perfect; it is what it is.
希望从今往后远离娱乐圈 沉淀下来 静心演奏
他其实上综艺节目就是想体验一下新事物，次数少之又少！被人误传
4월의 맑고 청량한 기운이 느껴진다. 이 연주를 들으면서 내 마음 속에 시원한 바람이 불어오기도 하고 응어리짐이 방울방울 맺혀서 해소되는 것 같기도 하다. 말로 표현할 수 없는 감정의 물결에 몸을 맡기는 것 같다. 감명 그 자체…
Better than Lang Lang
윤디님 사랑합니다. ㅠㅠ
정말 감동이에요 ㅠㅠ
Li had ups and downs in his performances over the years, but I'm happy that he showed such mastery of this repertoire here. And the clapping during the Ballade 4 really ruined it, what a shame.
他回来了！❤
Yundi played with much refinement and restraint, avoiding excessive drama just to impress the audience in this Carnegie Hall performance. His lyricism and pianism make his playing such a joy to listen to. His interpretation of the Ballades and Preludes make his performance unique in a very crowded field of great pianists who have recorded them. To perform Chopin's most challenging and beautiful masterpieces in one recital has to be a gutsy decision. He did this over 55 times last season across Europe, North America, Japan and China. Some of his fans followed him around just to hear his slight different interpretations at each performance. I own both his albums. Thanks to the posting, I can appreciate the differences.
He's in my TOP three.... of living pianists... (maybe four)
Of all the Asian pianists, he is the best, I only like him
@@owensworldofscience4787 I actually utterly agree with you!...I have felt this for a long time!
This is such an exquisite display of Chopin’s music. What I like most after watching this performance is that I cannot but increase my admiration of the genius of Chopin-the greatest composer of piano music. There is no other composer who knew how to use the piano as a “voice” as he did. This performance draws you into the beauty, power, and emotions of Chopin’s Ballads and Preludes. Sheer music enjoyment at its best.
Imaginem a emoção e o nervosismo em se tocar no Carnegie Hall: Yundi Li, com todo seu talento, na qualidade de vencedor do concurso Chopin que participou estava visivelmente tenso e ofegante ao abrir o recital executando a primeira balada, por sinal de maneira brilhante, pois se ouvia claramente a respiração dele.
Depois se acalmou, a respiração voltou ao normal; até porque a balada em sol menor é peça de respeito e abrir o repertório com ela não é prá qualquer um, é para o melhor pianista da atualidade, de longe!
A competição está em um nível totalmente diferente do Carnegie Hall, ela é insuperável! Embora alguns possam discordar, pra mim a competição de Chopin é o auge e a melhor forma de abrir a carreira!
