While a very small boy he displayed a remarkable sensitivity towards music and began to learn the accordion at the age of four. Just one year later he won first prize at the Chongqing Children's Accordion Competition. When he was seven, he started to learn the piano. Two years later and already filled with the ambition of becoming a professional pianist, he studied under Dan Zhao Yi, one of China's most renowned piano teachers. His year of hard work paid off when he was allowed to enter a junior high school attached to Sichuan Music Academy at the top of the school in 1994. Since then, Yundi has gained awards from numerous piano competitions and gradually became famous. Major competitions he has participated in and his placing are: 1994 1st prize of the Children Piano Competition ( Hua-pu Cup) - Beijing

Extractions: For those lucky enough to get a ticket to the sold out Canadian debut recital of the sensational Yundi Li at the George Weston Recital Hall in Toronto last month, they were treated to a marvelous display of virtuoso pianism that clearly showed why this 18-year old won the gold medal at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw last October, the first one awarded in fifteen years. If you missed the Toronto concert, you will want to hear this two-CD set recorded live in Warsaw. Volume one features Li in Piano Concerto No. 1, plus the added bonus of Concerto No. 2 played by another finalist, Ingrid Fliter.

Kun je bij een pianist van amper negentien lentes al gewagen van een volwassen artistieke persoonlijkheid? Je zou geneigd zijn neen te zeggen. Op die leeftijd heeft een musicus meestal nog ettelijke jaren voor de boeg om een eigen stijl te ontwikkelen. Yundi Li schijnt hierop een uitzondering te vormen. Hoewel pas aan het begin van zijn carrière, is hij in staat de boodschap van een partituur te ontcijferen en die aan het publiek door te geven. Zo persoonlijk en overtuigend is zijn manier van spelen. Het eerste hoogtepunt in zijn nog prille carrière was alvast de eerste prijs in het befaamde Chopin-concours in Warschau, in het jaar 2000. Deze eerste cd bevestigt zijn uitzonderlijk talent. Luister maar en u zult terecht uitkijken naar zijn volgende cd met werk van Liszt. Yundi Li - Chopin Deutsche Grammophon - 1 CD 471.479-2

Li Yundi at the age of 18 won first place in the 15th International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in the fall of 2000, as the first Chinese first place winner. The world was amazed at his exquisite tone and abundant power of expression and applauded the emergence of a piano prodigy. Yundi studied in the School of Arts in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, adjacent to Hong Kong. Children from 9 to 18 years old come to this school from around the nation aspiring to become a second Yundi.

A 15-year-old boy came alone from a provincial region. Young pianists are undergoing arduous practice with dreams of launching their careers onto the international stage. Thirty-eight students study piano at the School of Arts in Shenzhen. They passed the highly competitive entrance examination which only one out of ten could pass. They also study general academic subjects such as English and mathematics, but they practice the piano almost all day in hopes of becoming a top-class pianist.

Extractions: Activists in Jakarta choked at the sight of General Wiranto being feted at a top hotel recently. Indonesia's former armed forces chief, an enthusiastic crooner, was launching the CD of sentimental favorites he recorded to raise funds for the local Red Cross. "Singing is one of my hobbies," he says. While the gala reaped $140,000 in donations, campaigners found Wiranto's effort ironic since the beneficiaries included Timorese refugees. Indonesia's human rights commission has linked the general to violence inflicted in East Timor last year by pro-Jakarta militias, which forced thousands to flee west. (Gala organizers even screened a video of refugees in a West Timor camp guarded by militias.) Wiranto's next project may prove to be just as controversial: a book analyzing post-reformasi issues.

Seine CD Yundi Li: Chopin bekam zwei Wochen nach der Veröffentlichung in Hongkong Platin, in Taiwan stand er auf den oberen Plätzen der Popcharts und in Japan wird er wie ein Popstar verehrt.

Extractions: Yundi Li played absolutely brilliantly. He truly does feel Chopin's music and shows it in his performance. His Sonata and Polonaise were both played with outstanding zest. It's no wonder he took an award for his polonaise. Yundi also has amazing articulation. With his talent, Yundi Li is bound for success!
Extractions: This DVD is excellent! The Best thing about this DVD is that it has TWO video angles (a multi-angle DVD). The first view point is a standard, edited, concert video view, and the second one, which I like the most, is from the camera putted beside the piano keyboard, unedited, and, yes, you can see Yundi Li¡¦s finger movement from the beginning to the end, even for the whole concerto. That means you have total of 142 minutes video on this DVD, if you count the two angles separately. Your family can enjoy a good Chopin piano concert with angle one, while you can study Yundi¡¦s finger movement with angle two; all on the same DVD. The only let down is this DVD only has three songs from Chopin, but this is definitely one of the best Chopin Piano Concerto No.1 videos available on the market today. This video might not be digitally recorded, since I noticed there are a few particles and the video is not as sharp as those digitally recorded videos, but that does not affect the quality of the film as a whole. There is also a typo on the instruction sheet of this DVD; this is a double-layered DVD, not double sided.

Extractions: Yundi Li Last October, at the age of 18, Yundi Li won the Gold Medal and Laurel Wreath, the first prize of the 14th Frederic Chopin international piano competition. He is among the youngest contestants to win the top honor of this prestigious competition in its 74-year history, and is also the first Chinese pianist to win the title. Commenting on the his performance at the Chopin competition, Andrzej Jasinski, who chaired the panel of 23 judges, remarked: "Yundi Li is very mature for his age, and plays beautiful tones with imagination, beauty and a rippling technique''. Recognition of Li's exceptional empathy for Chopin's music, his virtuosic techniques and elegance was unanimous. Enrapt by Li's distinguished performance, the audience, joined with the judges, rose in a standing ovation following his Chopin Concerto No.1 with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra at the competition. One can judge the rapidity of Li's rise to prominence by noting that just a year before winning the Chopin competition he won the first prize in the Gina Bachauer, young artists piano competition and festival in Salt Lake City. Prior to that in March 1999, he won 3rd Prize at the 5th Franz Liszt Piano competition. The transition from being the best among young artists, to being selected from amongst musicians mostly older than he, is a remarkable rate of progress. With his recent victory, Li sprang to the attention of the classical music world; his concert engagements through out Asia and Europe followed soon after the competition.

Extractions: BUY NOW AmazonUK AmazonUS Yundi Li looks like a twit. Some record company executive has obviously marched him into their study and told him to GET TRENDY, but the fashion shoot that accompanies this disc is preposterous. Included in The Look are a ridiculous pair of flares, a suit white enough for an FA Cup Final, and the same gormless stare that Ronaldo has when he models clothes. Given the hagiography that takes the place of sleeve notes, DG are obviously looking for major artist build, and are sparing no promotional effort. But I forgive him because he is a genius. Winner, at 19, of the last Warsaw Chopin Competition, the boy can obviously play a bit. He is building on that success by debuting with an all-Chopin recital that reveals an excellent technique and a beautiful touch. Apparently an admirer of Zimmerman, Yundi Li certainly achieves that great pianists thoughtful clarity and attention to detail, albeit at slightly less tardy tempos. From the opening arpeggiated chord of the Third Sonata, which forms the meat of this recital disc, his approach to the Chopin soundworld is apparent: clean no wash of pedal here thank you very much and constantly forward moving. It is a powerful performance that marks Yundi Li as a player of real technique and talent.
