Movie Reviews of Yundi Li: Live in Concert
Movie Review: Chopin would be proud and awed!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Listening to Yundi Li play, one wonders if he could ever play better than what he is doing on this dvd....He plays the 4 Chopin Scherzi as good as anyone out there playing in public today....And when you hear him play the Liszt B minor Sonata, and the Liszt Paraphrase de concert of Verdi's Rigoletto, you will ask yourself how someone as young as Mr. Li can play as well as he does without years of playing experience behind him...However, there is still room for improving his interpretation of Chopin if you use Vladimir Horowitz as your benchmark for this great composer...But who can compare to Mr. Horowitz. Nevertheless, if Mr. Li, as well as the other great Chinese pianist, Lang Lang, live as long as Mr. Horowitz did, then I could not think of many other up and coming pianists who might one day reach Mr. Horowitz's level...Movie Review: Splendid virtuosity
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a performance by one of the new generation of classical concert pianists. Li's technical command seems absolute. Such command appears to be the minimum qualification for pianists today. No allowances for the slipped note or somewhat indulgent phrasing of a Rubenstein or Rudolf Serkin that endeared them to audiences. Li certainly passes muster in the technique department. His pianistic chops are extremely impressive. The Chopin in this concert (the Scherzi) is precise, clear, and appropriately sonorous. He is detached but attentive to detail. He lets Chopin speak for himself. The Liszt B-minor is another matter: passionate, intimate, involved. He seems drained at the end. Video and sound are fine. Recommended.Movie Review: Wonderful DVD of a Young Master
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful live-concert captured on film. I enjoyed this DVD immensely because Yundi Li is an amazing young master at the piano, and the film has many close-up shots of his hands where you can really see the atheletic aspects of piano playing. Good camera shots and good sound quality of the recording. "Extras" on the DVD are real bonuses, including the 3rd movement of Chopin's piano concerto which he performed at the winner's concert at the Chopin Int'l Piano Competition. The photo-essay of his childhood and youth is a real gem.Movie Review: the "wunderkind"
Summary: 5 Stars
Yundi Li has splendid technique (no music too difficult) with a mature interpretation. Piano music as it should be heard. Reminiscent of Schnabel.Movie Review: excellent performance
Summary: 5 Stars
We were really enjoyed of Yundi's performance, especially on the bonus section was the best on this DVD!
