- Chinese violinist Chuanyun Li collapsed on stage
August 18, 2013
Shantou Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zhao Daxin
Shantou, China
Shantou Phil is an amateur orchestra
This is its 10th anniversary concert
Poor man. Performing as a classical musician of this caliber can be one of the most nerve-wracking things one can experience. Although it be an extremely rewarding career, it's no walk in the park.
He is and shall always remain one of the finest violinists ever. Situations like this usually happens to only the best ones.
Bravo, maestro.
Even he suffered so much, he is still the one who produced the best music on that stage.
Bro what a beast, he still play everything well and in tune, two set has to see this
I would HOPE it's in tune!!!!!
How sad 😢 , I hope he recovers because he is a great virtuoso. 🎻
What a splendid, phenomenal, outstanding violinist! Unfortunately, a tormented soul and mind. May God help him heal of all torment, and bring him back on our stages. Love you, man!!!! 😥😥😥😥❤️❤️❤️
I thought it was just nausea and abdominal pain. I've had this exact reaction when not eating a smart dinner the night before.
The level of preparation this man has is the level one should strive for when performing. Even with a crippling anxiety attack, his intonation was nearly perfect. Awesome violinist
Poor guy. Thats what a nervous breakdown looks like.
It looked to me like he was feeling sick from the moment he walked out on stage.
Li is known to suffering from panic attacks from time to time.
X Peng bless his heart, those are terrible to suffer from!
Bless
That's a shame but why hasn't he come back to play?
@@TheAnonyy um i dont know, but maybe because of The Panic Attacks!?!?
Maybe playing with this awful sounding orchestra was just too much to bear.......🤷🏻♂️
I was moved when he bowed to the audiences again and again for not becoming able to continue the performance. I found his true spirit in trying to get through the performance even though he is deadly sick.
It looks like he felt true tragedy of betraying the audiences. I really respect him in the way he face his performance and his audiences.
@Benjamin Eby You eat bullshit!!!
Wow, that is very intelligent of you
Chinese way, to show humility, very touching indeed. I once had to except this sort of "apology", I wish I could disappear, vanish.
Americans take their awkward moments, blunders easily, but for Chinese even a small mistake is for a moment a real tragedy.
This Video should remain here as a testament to the men and women that struggle with mental illness. Mr Li is brave and beautiful.
There are clear indications that Li may have Tourette's Syndrome. It is entirely possible to have TS and play the violin as superbly as Li can do. Normally, as in the case of a neuro-surgeon with TS where I live, the compulsive behaviour mysteriously ceases when the person engages in specialised activity. Just as the symptoms go as soon as that surgeon picks up a medical instrument, so normally would Li's cease once he wields the bow. The problem on this occasion is that the symptoms took hold full force when he wasn't playing. A sad situation indeed, but I must hope that this is an isolated incident for him.
From jump one could see he's having a breakdown!!! Someone help his effin ass!!! He's so off the charts brilliant!! Absolutely painful to watch!!!
Quite sadly, as a Chinese, I can tell you that even with all those economic growth we have, China still greatly falls behind on mental health issues compared to other developed countries. People usually treat psychological disorders simply as the sufferers’ shield or covering for their own weakness and incompetence, because of their cruelty and ignorance.
If not watching the scene just hearing it, I can hardly imagine he was suffering severely in the situation. Playing violin was engraved in his soul. It is still clear perfect performance no matter where or when. ..
He has had difficulties with his mental health and diabetes, and has been hospitalized due to ill health in recent years. Not sure what happened here. But he is a wonderful violinist with incredible virtuosity.
He played the Tchaikovsky concerto again several months later... th-cam.com/video/dbMOWm678Xk/w-d-xo.html
This was very difficult to watch. Is it because violin is so hard instrument to learn? My heart is shattered
His stage..his performance...his life...he gives his best. God bless!
@@pluutoop he probably is autistic and might have other problems…😨
@@pluutoopI’d reckon the violin was so easy for him that it wasn’t able to make him concentrate on the music, but rather his mentality instead. For us normal humans, we have many things to distract ourselves from the mind. For Chuan yun li, the violin wasn’t enough a distraction, and further showed his distress while playing the violin perfectly. He must have went through something unimaginable for him to run through a piece beautifully, yet not completely focused on the music because of his mental illness
I am amazed and really enjoyed his playing despite the unusual interruption. He is very great violinist who is up there with the very best. Both technically and emotionally which I love. I say bravo sir - and we are with you.
let me add Mr. Li is a REMARKABLE talent
看过李传韵的访谈，是一个很谦虚，很纯真，很个性，不懂人情世故，但稍稍能感觉有些自闭的人。他精神有问题，他自己也很痛苦，请大家不要再诟病他了。他是个天才，全中国唯一的天才，希望他早日复出才好
Zhekang Peng 可能小时候太多压力
他应该是阿斯伯格症。
I feel so much pain for him. I can relate to him so much.
I nearly cried watching this... Bro you can do it!
This was so difficult to watch. My heart is bleeding.
He is a good violinist and also is a good performer,but I don’t think so the director is a quality director,because this situation who should be stopped this show and took medical aids.
Yes. This is right.
He and his teacher a heroes , amazing hard job. Big respect to you all.
I love the trumpet at 2:35 and the sound of the orchestra is giving the guy even more pain... It is toxic. Poor guy. What a talent!!!!
how about 8:51 too geez louise did he do that slide because he was so taken aback..
I fell the same when the trumpet start.
Ya
this is so sad, he is truly a genius, among the best of the best.
kuojimmy,
Yeah, it seems as if all of the classical music performers on YouTub are GENIUSES. And it really gets sickening when they start talking about Bach. They can't even mention him without bringing God into it.
Quabledistocficklepo i agree some russian piano music composers deserve this mention not less than bach like scriabin or vladigerov and what about the ghost ship by karl tauning listzt pupil who maybe surpassed him
He sounds great, but this is the saddest thing ever
how awful. I also admire the orchestra in a certain way, that they continued playing. But I think the conductor should have stopped the whole thing. Shameful indeed to put and leave it on TH-cam
None of us is perfect. I would feel so happy if I could play any instrument as well as he. I suspect that most or all of the people throwing insults at the man for a failed performance would go out of their way to show sympathy for a pretty girl under the same circumstances. How much of our lives do we need to spend being angry or critical when there is no existential need to do so? If I had the opportunity to overcome my limitations of age, health, finances, and a few other barriers, just to go to Shantu, China and attend a concert, explore the restaurants, meet people, take a few pictures, I would happily give up my "right" to be presented with a perfect concert. I've been a sailor of yachts; learned to work on engines, tend the foredeck, cook meals under sail, all of those ordinary skills, and one thing I've learned is that boats need care and attention, things break, no trip is certain to be without unexpected problems. Trouble on the journey is part of the game. Show some tolerance, friends. Aren't we all on the same team - Or, should we not be? Random thoughts. Thank You.
First than all I think playing the violin results in something that transport his mind into another stage (compare when she is performing and when is is not). What an incredible violinist...besides being very in tune and articulated (every note immaculate) he has an INCREDIBLE musicality, which is incredible contrasting with his behavior (punctual comment). I only can say that I am amazed and I hope he got better after this concert. I’m wondering what is in the mind of this wonderful musician
I remember when he blew everyone away with the Khachaturian Concerto in Aspen back in 2005 when he was still a student . Transcendent playing.
I would love to hear that concerto from him. I am sure it will be mind blowing!
Frankly speaking, he played the violin very well.
Most everyone on this thread is impressed with his continuation in spite of his distress. I am not. I think it was foolish. The human body is the most magnificent and remarkable instrument on Earth. When it communicates to you. You should listen. He was so determined to fulfill the wants of the audience, yet ignored the needs of his one and only true possession. People take more care of their material possessions than they do their bodies. He can have other performances. He can purchase other violins. He only has ONE body. If he dropped dead the next day, they would have another musician in his place.
All in prc.
Oh, boy. Very sad. This is such a true spirit.
I just heard him play "Dance of the Goblins" on YT - one of the cleanest versions of it ever. He must be a truly tragic figure and an illustration of the fact that great art requires plenty of sacrifice and sometimes victimhood on the way to the top.
Chuanuyn Li, you are the BEST!!! I hope you feel better now, maybe you need to take temporary distance with this universe and go intensive sport and anothers healthy hobbies, you are a virtuoso violonist, you don't have to prove anything more to the world, take care of yourself my bro 💪💪💪
그는 세계최고급의 명량한 소리,테크닉,뛰어난 음악성,그의 특성의 풍만하지만 가벼운소리로 가히 막심벤게로프와 견주어도 돨만한 뛰어난 바이오리니스트지만 세계는 기대만큼 그를 알아주지 않았고 그는 자신의 실력을 의심하기 시작했고 보이는 연주회마다 불편한기색을 들어보이다가 결국에는 이지경까지 오게되었다....나는 세계가 그를 더 알아보고 더 관심을 주며 그가 큰무대에 슬 기회를 주었으면 좋았을것같다는 생각이 든다....지금까지 그가 협연해온 오케스트라는 대부분 후진 오케스트라뿐이었다....
相信傳韻承受了太大壓力，不懂釋放！我六，七年前已經在音樂會中看見他演奏到在台上跌倒，當時還以為只是單一事件。。。神童的路真的不易走。
They needed to stop this performance right during the first movement when he started faltering. This is inhumane.
to every commenters who cannot read Chinese and jumped into conclusions as to the reason for Li's collapsing on stage - he had a *stomachache* but insisted on performing. Nothing to do with his mental state.
I think Li Chuanyun has a little crazy and dramatic mentalism seeing around 3:50 he jumped backwards and burst into tears, apologizing insanely after he stopped playing.
But I still like him.
Impossible not to...)
Keep replaying that over and over hahaha lol it’s sooo funny XD🤣🤣😂😂
LOL whats his problem
This guy is brilliant in music making. I hope he can resolve his own issues soon.
People should hear him playing when he was a genius at age 11....!!!!! He is touching his head...a terrible headache?....Also he touches his belly, an unbearable pain?.....This is not a joke nor a showing off....
He should have more respect from the commentaries....My heart goes with him!!!!
He deserves more respect and compassion!!¨Great artist
God be with you.........Take it easy.
I don't find anymore videos from him since 7 years ago. What happened to him? Where is he now? Is he alive? Is he performing? There are many people who play perfect but Chuanyun Li has a very particular personality. I am really interested in him. I think he is one of the biggest talents of this century.
He was sent to the gulag
Английский с Полиглотом ??????
one of the greatest violin genius!!!! Hope he is getting better and can come back to stage again...
Being tortured in prison for shaming his country?
在香港养病，应是精神出了问题。我也希望能见到他重返舞台
How could they be so cruel as to continue filming this when he was so obviously distressed? For the whole world to see ? Poor man.
yes, it's cruel, but you know there is a saying: the show must go on!
It's Communist china
According to the Chinese description at the start of this video, the violinist had stomach pain during this performance at Shantou, Guangdong Province, China on 8/18/2013.
Rather than crazy, he looks like he was feeling ill already and tried to make it pass. "No, I don't have a terrible headache, I'm just passionately feeling the music", "no, my stomach doesn't burn, I'm just tying my just".
He is playing wonderful
He is a great violinist.
By the way he's going down clutching his head and stomach, I'd guess he had a severe migraine. I get those, and when they hit there's just nothing you can do. The nausea is absolutely debilitating.
ok
1) dawg this conductor should not have let these intonation issues happen and should have corrected them DURING rehearsal
2) and y’all fr don’t know how hard it is for someone who is mentally ill to perform in this kind of setting. this man should not have been performing with this group given his past history with mental disorders. shame on y’all.
What intonation issues? He was brilliant.
I wish you would take this video down. It's disrespectful of such a great artist if this is only what he's known for.
Disrespect? LOL Too sensitive bro .
If he is a "great artist" then he will be known for being great.
If this happened to any great artist, from classical, pop, or even athletes, this would not be "all they are known for". Gotta use logic dude.
You’re full of shit. More people might know about pos like Nicki Minaj or Cardi B, by your logic, that would make them “greater artists”
I’ve played violin for 13 years and I’ve never SEEN someone as naturally gifted with a violin. But he won’t be known for that, he’ll be known as the guy who collapsed on stage. All so some nobody can make ad revenue off of this video. And btw, no one likes a condescending asshole, so maybe don’t question other’s logic when your own is full of holes.
@@finn7591 huh? I think you're misunderstanding what I said. So sensitive too.
I never said that being more popular as a popstar makes you a greater artist than some violin guy, I'm free reading my comments and none of my words imply that.
What, take down a video about a bad performance? That was the best he could do at jat ppoint in time. This is the historical record! Do NOT take it down.
because of this video I know of him. than you for posting in spite of the criticism
Bravo Li you are a big exemple a great human being and awesome artist
Hope overcome your difficulty by music !
And control by music !
This has got to be one of the saddest violinist videos on You Tube. From the moment he walks out you can see from his posture that he's unwell. What ever mental illness he might have is not the only problem. Why is up there performing? Is this a circus? Are they going to bring out the fat lady or the bearded lady next? Shame on the concert management for letting this concert continue. Don't pick on the orchestra and don't write cruel comments. Show some compassion.
Beautiful, amazing and heartbreaking
他的琴声与他的腹痛形成了鲜明的对此，他是真正的艺术家！
The power of classical music.
Quem é bom toca bem msm passando mal. Espero que ele tenha se recuperado.
This pathetic orchestra is enough to drive Chuanyu Li crazy.
A Smith so true lmao
Very true - the orchestra were a bit woeful - out of tune and out of sync with each other. But don't think that's the reason and it would not be an excuse if it was: the guy rather obviously has some mental issues.
A Smith
Ib
A Smith 这个音乐者内分泌失调吗
Harsh but true.
He looks like he's got a kidney stone on the move. In addition to a bout of extreme anxiety.
He is a great man of honour dedication sincerely.. God give him good health and long life. I respect him like many others in the violin world.
He collapsed bcz the orchestra plays awful...isn't it obvious?
Asad Yamin Yeah, it's because of the awful playing of the orchestra, 😁😂😂😂
U are a sad man.
Are you out of your mind? It's so easy to blame the orchestra right? And you think a professional would act like this in front of the audience?
Frank Jin jerk
@@nirvanaacademyofviolin it's a joke calm down LOL
Distressed and sick as he was, he still played brilliantly
That's in show business what's called 'a real trooper'
O’sole mio, you made me cry ….. be stronger ,Mr. Lee ! You showed me what a real mad world look like …. Thank you !
他在病的很重的情况下，仍然表现不俗，令人敬佩
This is so bizarre. I have never seen anything like it.
Me neither. Nor have I heard of it happening. Is it for real? That one lady in the violin section noticed something was 'off' right from the start. Is this for real? A traveling circus? I don't know what I just saw, but the conductor handled it as well as could be expected; but the players who 'took over' should not have had to do that. security? Makes me think it was all planned out this way.
Is he okay? I'm waiting 5 years later.
Well it will be a long wait.
❤❤ ❤
I feel so sorry for his suffering 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Why is everyone blaming the orchestra for his antics?
241hnd, because they were absolutely awful , out of time out of tune, not together, a truly dreadful public performance, it certainly did not help this young mans illness and panic, he leaned into them once as if to say play properly...sad.
I'll bet he was severely tortured in prison because of this incident...what we aren't told.....
Los chinos son bien exagerados, así son en sus películas
Amazing violinist👏👏👏
Painful to watch, sad
the solitude of genius is evident here. Even geniuses suffer from mental problems: but he didn't have anyone around to tell him to stop and get better. When you get better you will perhaps go back to playing; not like before, but you will return. Is Chuanyun Li the violinist more important, or are his health and life more important?
With this orchestra all the artist collapsed
Does anyone know what's with him??? I love his playing, and I am a really worried about him. He's an incredible good violinist know and as a kid.
This video is old I don't know what he did these days
He is known to have breakdowns like panic attacks.
@@TheAnonyy panic attack
One of the best violinists in the world accompanied by an amateur orchestra. The sound of the orchestra was terrible.
If y'all think this is the result of practice, yall couldn't be so wrong. Tchaikovsky is fucking easy for him that he can play in his sleep. This is something that he has accumulated from childhood and finally exploded, there had to be a trigger before the performance that broke his threshold. It can be something very subtle like passive aggressiveness from the environment or people around him. Pay more attention to how people interact you'll notice the trigger eventually.
La joven violinista, 3a. fila, se dió cuenta desde el principio.
年轻的小提琴家，第三。 行，他从一开始就意识到。
The young violinist, 3rd. row, she noticed from the start.
Sabes que le pasaba al violinista?, no entiendo. Nervios no creo que sea, ya que entraba y salia ... quien esta nervioso no sale del escenario y no vuelve a entrar...no se...
不要妄臆天才的思维！
Debieron acercarle una silla, de inmediato suspender la ejecuión y llevarlo a un médico.
他们不得不立即拉起椅子，暂停执行，带他去看医生。
They had to pull up a chair immediately, suspend the execution and take him to a doctor.
The audience is so supportive and loving.❤
Yeah laughing at him was really supportive and loving
journalists never stop filming- rule ONE
... excellent player ...
I'm reminded of the fellow who played the Rachmaninoff 3rd Piano Concerto for a competition, then as soon as he was done, had a complete mental breakdown and was in and out of institutions for years before being rediscovered playing casually at a restaurant.
Ummm. That's only with David Helkock. (Sorry my spelling) He had mental problems as well.
David Helfgott
He eventually started concertizing again. The movie "Shine" is about him, a great movie about a great genius.
@@pphedup Yep, saw the movie. That's where I'd first heard of him.
drama queen...
Sorry he didn't fell well, He is a brilliant violinist..
Was that stage fright,or he had a cardiac attack? ?? Frightful. ....
看他那么痛苦的样子，怎忍心演下去，应立刻请替身
比较人性的做法应该是及时停演，让他接受治疗吧，不懂为什么还要坚持演下去。
He was stumbling the whole time and seriously nobody stopped and helped? They dragged that on for way too long
Shame on you for posting this video! It shows a great musician suffering severely, whatever the couse might be. I'm more then positive he wouldn't have wanted this video uploaded. He wouldn't have wanted thousands of people watching this. The most empathetic way to handle something like this is to forget it, and hope for it never to happen again, but definately not to upload the documentation of it...
Better to post than pretend it doesn't happen. As you can see, the response is supportive and not ridicule here, as opposed to some members of the orchestra who look deeply unimpressed.
Am I not sure the orchestra was in tune & in sync? They kind of sounds like a Chinese funeral house band!
Poor fellow.. I wish him all the best
Nobody will be wanting to lend him their violin for sure.
That violin is probably worth more than $1M U.S. dollars
オーケストラのひどさのほうがよっぽど恐ろしい。
I really don't like the way the women in the violin section are giving him dirty looks. To me, that callousness is a lot more disgraceful than the soloist getting a little too emotionally swept away by his music making.
The violinist behind him who looks at him is the only one who is really concerned about him from the beginning. She was the first who cared and knew that he was in pain.
Bless your heart.
The young one a few seats over is looking very worried for him.
What was wrong with him?
He has serious stomachache.
请不要再逼李传韵演出了，会把他毁了！
What a lingling
