About Yundi Li: It is a good idea to know everything about his musical life since he was a little boy. He is one of the best and he´ll keep improving. He is a gift for those of us who experience music as an emotional ecstasy. 我们爱你. Thank you Yundi Li.
I feel the need to re post another comment on giving this guy so much credit. that last clip when he enters the stage and they open the door..God i know how that feels like, makes you want to faint! YUNDI LI!!!!!! i got the biggest butterflys from watching this!
Yeah, when I heard him play the Prokofiev above it was my 1st time listening to this piece, or in fact any Prokofiev ^^. After listening to Vinnitskaya perform this piece then did I know the potential of beauty of this excellent master piece of music...
Prokofiev - wonderful, intense music, some of which is "to be played after your romantic life has been shattered, you have not slept for several days, and you have overdosed on caffeine to keep awake," according to one pianist I met. XD By the way, does anyone know exactly why Deutsch Grammophone dropped Yundi Li? >.> I want more CDs...
it may be so late to answer your question now. He has returned to DG last May. And in 2008, he finished the contract with DG and left by his own choice. There is not like DG dropping him, it is rumor.
has anyone ever seen The Prestige? the two magicians in that movie is an exact metaphor for lang lang and yundi li. Hugh jackman's character (lang lang) is has incredible showmanship, but christian bale's character (yundi li) more talented and is a truly gifted magician.
@SeitanoShuuki Lang Lang forced DG to drop Yundi. It is ironic that LL left DG for Sony. I despise that clown LL with passion even though I am Chinese. Yundi is a real artist.
continuing... (this is littlegangstayo/TrevorKingKwong) playing piano is not only about how difficult a piece one can play. it's about the interpretation, the emotion, the drive, and tons of other things, all right?
Try listening to Vinnitskaya's version of this piece, the immense power of the interpretation simply blew me away, it kind of reminds me of the air of electricity you sense when Yundi played his Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1 in the Chopin Competition...
this is sweeettt omg but omg, Yundi Li does a Prokofiev PC2 before Lang Lang??? lol...I'm a fan of both, and I wish LL would also record such an album!!!!!
@garr711 You don't say... That's rather despicable, I agree. I'll concede that Lang Lang's technique is absolutely brilliant, but in my opinion, he plays too much for himself and not enough for the audience. Well, don't feel bad for being Chinese and despising Lang Lang (I'm more or less the same). Yundi Li just completely redeems us, though. XD
look at all these posers and posts of jealousy. do most of you even play the piano? or just like critiquing concerto pianists over the internet cos you know, it's so easy to. i have a distinction in licentiate yet i can't begin to imagine criticising this pianist. so what if he has a bouncy style. if you look in history, the most renown pianists all have their own unique style of play. in the world of pianissimos and arpeggios, don't go ridiculing others unless you can back it up with your own.
Very nice to see his backstage preparations. Very talented pianist. The best Chinese pianist at our ero.

Wow, two giants working together, what a precious moment. I love both of them, two of the top musicians in the world.
So modern.. yet so romantic.

跨出舞台的那刻真的需要很大的勇氣和信心

Yundi Li is so amazing...
he's so cute when checking his reflection in the mirror...I can't believe he still gets nervous about performing!
you can tell he was totally sweating bullets the entire time before the concert.
what an inspiration.
i love this video...!! he's handsome..
god... feel so excited even just watching the rehearsal...
i would so piss my pants to walk up that stage and give such hardcore performance. That is incredible~
it's not boring if you get any of the music and the themes in it, if you listen carefully its actually one of the more interesting pieces...
Wow his english is really really good! I wasn't expecting that at all :O
i love it xD !!! simply admirable 5 stars !(*****) and just WONDEFULL LIFE, pure happiness.
"Too late, you look like you are fifty years old" - That was a funny conversation~! ... nways, thanks for sharing this wonderful video!!!!!

I watch a live show of Yundi Li with Prokofiev piano concertos no.2
Ozawa seems like a great guy.
it may be so late to answer your question now. He has returned to DG last May. And in 2008, he finished the contract with DG and left by his own choice. There is not like DG dropping him, it is rumor.
@penguinshin I don't know. It's widely reported that Lang Lang forced DG to drop Yundi
wow Piano Concerto no.2 in G minor Prokofiev....it's very Hard
yundi is so cute
I just experienced the most epic pianogasm ever.
3:31
I started piano at the same age he did. I should have kept going.
i wish i was apart of something like that.
云迪!您是属于世界的!
he's e best
has anyone ever seen The Prestige? the two magicians in that movie is an exact metaphor for lang lang and yundi li. Hugh jackman's character (lang lang) is has incredible showmanship, but christian bale's character (yundi li) more talented and is a truly gifted magician.
he speaks english!!!!
why is there no more of these videos.
very true
oh my.. my palm are sweating lol
Damn Deutsche Grammophon..I wonder why did they cut him off??It's sad..I'm shocked once I heard the news..

Yundi =
it's the strings that you're hearing, it does sound a lot like voices though.
"Jealousy leads to racism, racism leads to hatred, hatred... leads to sufferiiing...."
- Adapted from Yoda, xD
Poor lang Lang... He's still a great pianist anyway. But Yundi is my favorite! ●▽●
i knoww! he's so cute lol XD
CDを持つています。
Deutsche Grammophon is going to regret cutting him.
this is sweeettt omg
but omg, Yundi Li does a Prokofiev PC2 before Lang Lang??? lol...I'm a fan of both, and I wish LL would also record such an album!!!!!
ye he seems to be quite short as well..... but he's got real big hands
that's the director :)
@LovelyCYR Prokofiev #2
this is first time i heard him speking english!
haha i love how he teachers sings along...
the cellos at 2:02 are going insane.
he reminds me of L in death note... even his name is 'L'i Yun Di too...
I love 3:30 that sounds so cool, also in 1:56 what movments are these from? in what concerto?
ㅎㅎ

Lang Lang isn't better then him in any rate in Piano...
It is just he know how to make money with his name.....
So he is more known
i dont know why i smiled too
I can imagine how nervous he was...Just watching this video i was nervous
The conductor knocked on the wall b4 they went on stage xD
look at all these posers and posts of jealousy. do most of you even play the piano? or just like critiquing concerto pianists over the internet cos you know, it's so easy to. i have a distinction in licentiate yet i can't begin to imagine criticising this pianist. so what if he has a bouncy style. if you look in history, the most renown pianists all have their own unique style of play. in the world of pianissimos and arpeggios, don't go ridiculing others unless you can back it up with your own.
haha! i just wonder how can i be a racism if i a asian too? btw his skills is great and i am jealous
Eh only if u watched Lang Lang or any other pianists FIRST, then you can comment on them. :)
lmao at the guy singing along at 1:20
Was that Kissin in the hallway at the beginning? sure looks like him...
lol Ozawa, didn't know he was so active =D
誰可以告訴我 李雲迪彈的這首曲子
我超愛這首曲子的
some of his expression when he's playing look somehow like Jason Becker, maybe you don't know who jason becker is , he is a guitar genius
@burjreview thanks
his face goes from :D to :( in like half a second at 2:34
At 3:48 I swear I can hear a choir...
Stupid Question: Which concerto is this?
I mean watch them LIVE
3:40 is what music is all about
