Wow! I'm speechless. The best (and most enjoyable!) version I've ever seen or heard of this piece in my 46 years of violin playing. He's not just a technical wonder. There is great elan and style to his playing that immeasurably surpasses his age. This was mature wizardry of the highest order. I just hope he will enjoy his childhood and grow up to be a happy, kind, loving, and well-adjusted person and not end up as just another burned-out prodigy who hates his parents.
Well the old Chinese professor who used to teach him once said, he was the one violin kid he'd ever seen who enjoyed playing the violin the most. And he voluntarily switched from playing piano to playing the violin... So I'd guess Christian Li is happy with the way he practice?
If I close my eyes, I won't believe this music piece was played by a 13 years old. He was so amazing. He played this piece with such a swiftly skill and detailed touch. Love it. It seems that all the music notes are dancing in the air.
Holy moly. The accuracy when he continuously hits the same note over those different strings at 2:00 is shocking and so freaking difficult. It's amazing how he makes so many performances and recordings on all these insanely challenging pieces.
@yafargo don't say that about a kid. smoking? really? if you watch his interviews and listen to his playing it's evident he is very passionate about violin and performing. he has a joy for playing and does other activites that 'normal kids' do. while there are many prodigies that are forced into it by parents i don't think you can assume the same about everyone. just by listening, i highly doubt you can create such a compelling and musical performance if it's your parents forcing you to practice. it's true violin should not be all he is doing, since the stress from having to play for several concerts/competitions is very real, but that does not mean that all prodigies are kids who hate their parents and have problems in their lives. don't be so negative, you can express concern without hating on the child.
There are many amazing child violinists. But only few who interprets music like how Christian does. He brings the best out of it and leaves us wanting more.
@@nikolajovanovic3312 In an interview about his debut album he seemed very passionate about the music he was recording. and he said on average he practises 2 hours a day on weekdays that does not sound forced
@@dingdingbella6521 bruh...on and interveiw he can also say what he is forced to say. People with strict parents are best liars. Maybe he is a genius of violin, but, maybe he is not. You choose what you want to believe.
He didn't play it to my ears, but straight to my soul, I can't sit still every time I hear him play. Now, I can recognize him with just the sound of his violin alone.
Christian’s technique is only surpassed by his great attitude while performing. 🎉 Great joy watching his brilliance and enthusiasm! Would love to see him perform double Bach with Teo.
I love how Christian Li plays the violin. The sound is just like so smooth, and I bet millions of people outside the world love his style of playing the strings. The accuracy is like so awesome, and how the bow bounces of the string. He is also doing pizzicato with his left hand! So awesome. Continue to surpass people outside this world. !!!
Although I've enjoyed classical music for 50 years, I feel that I've never really heard the violin until now. The beauty and majesty of the violin has at last been revealed to me. Thank you, Christian, for introducing me to the wonders of this instrument. You are a phenomenal artist.
Still a child in this video, Christian Li prodigiously plays the violin like a magical creature himself! Such skill and musicality in a small package! How wonderful that this performance was recorded for prosterity!
Had TH-cam on Autoplay in the background and was amazed by this great performance. Almost choked on my pancake when I saw who was playing it... This is unbelievable...
@@ChiefHerzensCoach Yes, me too. But let him take his time. I'm sure we'll hear it when it's ready. I want him to enjoy his teenage years while juggling between school & his music career.
Can't believe this: amazing technique: down-bow spiccato and left-hand pizzicato and double-stop trills and also an amazing lyrical passage. A joy to listen to, Christian.
What is there to say when genius is born with technical and emotional insight and happens to land in the right family that encourages that stellar talent? Beauty is truth. Truth, beauty. That is all you need to know when hearing this little boy perform violin magic.
Кажется, для этого ребенка нет ничего невозможного - такая отточенная техника, такое погружение в музыку! Восторг! Не могу наслушаться! Счастья тебе, Christian, и всемирного признания, новая звезда на музыкальном небосклоне❤️
The best intonation I have ever heard from any violin player ... EVER ... God bless you ... looking forward to you blessing us with more such wonderful performances ... thank you from India
He is a formidable tactician, very logical, very intellectual while expressing his joy in performing the music. His honest desire to share all that the piece offers with the audience makes him glow. He has great integrity and balances any ego with sincerity.
that was 5min 10secs of perfection i only discovered him because there was a story about him on the bbc new website 2 days ago now i cant stop watching this its amazing he needs to release a full album
I first heard this piece performed by my childhood and forever hero, Itzhak Perlman. Mr Li’s performance is musically equivalent, and technically superior. I am so amazed and impressed. We’ll done young man!
Danke 🙏 für deine atemberaubende Performance. Es ist da jemand ganz offensichtlich mit seiner Violine mehr als nur innigst verschmolzen. Bisher konnte ich eine so überzeugende EINHEIT noch nirgends in dieser Klarheit erkennen und erleben. Folge deinem Stern. Bless you!
Greatest living violinist? I get such a concept is silly but damn; so much natural talent. And with the depth of feeling by someone who has lived more years. Joy!
Yes it is and yet to him it is natural. Prodigies have always astonished me! Science has not yet been able to figure out what exactly causes this with some individuals? We know that it is not from countless hours of study and practice because they are able to play the instrument from the get go? So what causes this and why is it only with a select few? Fascinating!
Christian you are an amazing little man. Since I follow you, I think you become less and less a kid. I hope you not going to regrets anything afterward. Childhood is a short time but it's very important. Any way i enjoy when you are playing. In that time of coronavirus please take care of you. All my best for your family.
The subtitles really gave me a greater insight of just what was going on
🤣🤣🤣
Haha

Yes there is a very old spirit in a young body.
Omg i didnt know thta happend
One doesn't become this accomplished unless the motivation comes from within. Especially at such a young age.
Quand ses paupières se ferment, les papillons s’envolent et des milliers de notes multicolores s’étirent vers le ciel

Christian was only 12 when this video was posted.
(His 13th birthday wouldn't be for another 7 months.)
THAT IS EVEN MORE INCREDIBLE! @.@ @@jackburgess8579

TWELVE?

@yafargo What a miserable thing to say about this child.
yafargo lmao too salty because you can’t appreciate amazing talent. It’s ok man, I’ll let you bawl your brains out.
@yafargo Children who are musical like this live for the music and nothing else. It will be interesting to watch him develop.

@yafargo I hear jealousy

I feel exactly the same. He’s just mesmerising!
check on TEO GERTLER from Croatia
I dont want to ruin ur opinion of him but, lets be real, he is forced to practice. I dont say he hates violin, but this kid is forced imp.

Wow... wow... wow... Can't believe this! Just speechless
He's gonna break the strings 🥲
Ах, как здорово! Умничка! Спасибо. Очень порадовал и техникой, и невероятной музыкальностью.

Every time you think you play well there is always a child that plays waaaay better. It’s very humbling lol. He did amazing.
Christian is the one and only. No one could play it better❤.
I agree😂
He is an Alchemist of the violin , and the greatness of his performance is off the charts, and beyond compare

Hello, I watch your vids and as I can tell, you are very talented. Keep up the good work, brother (usernames lol)
Who knew I would find you here 👀
Indeed a spectacular performance
Had TH-cam on Autoplay in the background and was amazed by this great performance. Almost choked on my pancake when I saw who was playing it... This is unbelievable...
Fascinating technique and bowing!!! Faszinierende Technik und Bogenführung!!!
When my little boy loves watching it again and again, I know this is truly the best version. Super talent!
This boy surely can be a great conductor too
Agreed🤣
He will play and conduct at the same time :D
@@ChiefHerzensCoach It was the final😊 I watched it over and over again coz it was just too good...

Vaaauuu 😍😍😍Cristian li😊😍😇
the SKILL, the MEMORISATION, them BOW STROKES AND LEFT HAND PIZZICATO
perfection
4:38 is so freaking hard!!!! He is a child and he is already a brilliant violinist......
I mean what part of this piece isnt hard enough XD
OMG.....I have no words but tears...
The performance is getting more and more sophisticated.
This time the pianists are especially wonderful.
Definitely, this is my favorite of his performances. It's as if he's been playing for decades. Bravo.
He looks like having a lot of fun playing this piece. He's been smiling a lot !
What an impressive performance 😲 !!!
He is literally making his bow dance on the strings 🧡
All that speed, precision and tons of pizzicato on top of that. He said he got it right the second time he tried it!
Can't believe this: amazing technique: down-bow spiccato and left-hand pizzicato and double-stop trills and also an amazing lyrical passage. A joy to listen to, Christian.

I cannot believe he is 11yrs old!! Just incredible and a great future ahead!!💕💕🎶🎶💕💕

Marcello De Angelis not funny at all
@@thomaslovesbulking69 There is no point in responding to others. Complete the sentence. Make us laugh.
Marcello De Angelis lol lmfao
no words to express all my admiration for your talent, Christian. Thank you. Love❤❤❤❤❤
not to detract from his amazing talent and flawless performance, but I must call-out he does have a very good accompanist here!
Agree...Young did really great too
yes, his job accomany really brought out the pieces
Very true! But only one of them is reading sheet music. ;)
He looks very comfortable and joyful when playing the violin! 非常看好李同学，加油！
Its actually the best Version I have personally heard
OMG! It's just wow. Super talented boy
Кажется, для этого ребенка нет ничего невозможного - такая отточенная техника, такое погружение в музыку!
Восторг! Не могу наслушаться!
Счастья тебе, Christian, и всемирного признания, новая звезда на музыкальном небосклоне❤️
Bravo Christian! You’re a joy and wonder.
Wonderful Christian and Timothy too. I don’t need subtitles to know what I’m seeing is absolutely incredibly beautiful and sublime too ❤❤❤❤
So young and so intense. Wonderful performance !

He will be a talented violinist when he grows up. 💖 👐

He already super pro 😀
Oh my god,what a talent . I cannot believe my eyes . God bless you Christian !
i’m literally crying!! it’s so touching, so nice!! so in tune.. :’) one of the best versions of this piece, definitely!

@@ChiefHerzensCoach yeah
Itzahk perlman version is better
@Yuval Avishar That goes without saying, but to make a fair comparison I would have to hear Itzahk Perlman playing this piece when he was 11 yo.
@@cwldoc4958 i didnt compare him to perlman, i just said that i disagree with what he said about this version is the best
Es un gran deleite ver y escuchar este jovencito Christan Li, su interpretacion es fantastica, Dios lo bendiga, saludos desde Nueva Zelanda.
Volví a disfrutar de un pieza de música clásica.. cada vez que veo esa virtud la considero una bendición de Dios
i cannot understand u😂😂😂
The best intonation I have ever heard from any violin player ... EVER ... God bless you ... looking forward to you blessing us with more such wonderful performances ... thank you from India
We are very proud of you Ling Ling!
He is a formidable tactician, very logical, very intellectual while expressing his joy in performing the music. His honest desire to share all that the piece offers with the audience makes him glow. He has great integrity and balances any ego with sincerity.
Lol what are you talking about
This raises the bar on how this piece should be played withought a doubt.
Holy moly. I am speechless!!
that was 5min 10secs of perfection i only discovered him because there was a story about him on the bbc new website 2 days ago now i cant stop watching this its amazing he needs to release a full album
Speechless........
UN FENOMENO. FELICITACIONES CHRISTIAN,

This kid has become the prince of violin in the world and I just wonder how God could make such amazing masterpiece.

Astounding resonance by the finest prodigy ever .
So in love with this amazing child!
An astonishing amount of talent for a boy as young as he is!!! Wow. I am blown away. Beautiful performance.

Bravo! Breathtaking performance! and... 11 year old! AMAZING!

I think Bazzini also deserves praise...
