Yundi Li plays the repertoire for which he is so highly acclaimed – Chopin and Liszt – with recordings of the two most popular works from Romantic concerto repertoire. The message is simple: highly emotional, popular music played by a young master.
In October 2000, Yundi Li won First Prize at the famous Chopin Competition in Warsaw – the first time in 15 years that the top prize had been awarded. Since then, the Chinese pianist has won high praise for his Chopin playing in particular, whether for his 2002 DG recording debut (a Chopin recital) or for his live performances:
“Mr. Li is a poetic player with a sensitive touch (but also ample power when he needs it), as well as an ear for textural clarity and an impeccable sense of line. Those qualities, notable on his handful of recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, served the Chopin perfectly.” –The New York Times (2005)
For his first concerto recording, Yundi Li collaborates with the Philharmonia Orchestra, one of the world’s great orchestras with an extraordinary recording legacy, and Sir Andrew Davis, who is one of Britain’s leading conductors and famous for his regular appearances at The Last Night of the Proms.
