	Classical Success Story
		Li is also the first Chinese and one of the youngest contestants ever to claim the top prize in the competition's 73-year history.
		Certainly Li's life experiences have been different from those of some other young piano stars, many of whom get their start with a push from parents who are serious fans of music or are musicians themselves.
		Li began studying with teacher Dan in 1991, and when Dan moved from Sichuan province to Shenzhen, which borders on Hong Kong, the entire Li clan moved to be near him.

	Yundi Li
		Yundi Li is the 1st prize winner of the 2000 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw.
		As the last note on the piano was struck in the final movement of the E minor Concerto- the final work that Yundi played in the competition- the enthusiastic audience jumped from their seats with a burst of applause, before the orchestra could even finish its cadence.
		Li's Chopin is among the finest of the century.

		Li's rendition of the b minor is without a doubt one of the best I've ever heard, and could rapidly become my personal favorite.
		Li's dynamic and expressive range, while we're at it, may be his most impressive skill.
		Yundi Li is the child prodigy who is like a mature master pianist in a child's body (they're both younger than me!).

		Yundi Li first looked at the B minor Sonata in 1999 while preparing for the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Utrecht, a competition that he then went on to win.
		Here Yundi Li uses subtle shades of tone color to bring out the individual lines of the musical texture, creating an impression akin to that of a film sequence in which the focus shifts from actor to actor.
		Yundi Li was born in Chongqing, People’s Republic of China, in 1982.

	Piano prodigy Li Yundi back at home turf - Arts & Artists - Culture & Education - Newsgd
		Li Yundi, the youngest ever winner of the International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition in 2000, is without a doubt an Asian classical music icon and a piano prodigy thanks to his combination of intelligence, gracefulness and good looks.
		As for the young people who see him as their idol, Li thinks that it will hopefully raise their interest in classical music, which is a good thing.
		In spite of this, Li does not make things easy for himself: he never cheats in order to get round difficult passages, he plays with a rare combination of virtuoso skill and poetic interpretations, each note he plays is a reminder of why.

	Yundi Li: Live from the 14th International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition
		Yundi Li compares quite favorably to these two artists, a certain youthful exuberance and relative inexperience on Li's part notwithstanding.
		Given that Li was entirely Chinese-trained, perhaps more than anything else, his winning of the Polonaise Prize underscores the idea that art is universal.
		Deutsche Grammophon has signed Li to an exclusive contract and no doubt the pieces on this CD set will be recorded in the studio very soon.

	SoundStage! Various Artists - Chopin - Scherzi / Impromtus
		Li comes with good references, having won the Warsaw Chopin Competition in 2000 at the age of 18.
		Li definitely leans in the direction of the second camp, although I still found the performances quite emotionally involved.
		This DG recording is a pleasant balance, with just enough immediacy to catch all of Li’s nuanced fingerings, yet far enough removed to make a listener feel as if he or she is listening to a piano, not from inside one.

		Li compensates for his lack of depth and spontaneity with a beautiful tone, remarkably even runs, and precise articulation at high speeds, attributes which should be sufficient for many.
		Li is young; sterling as his Chopin is already, it may glow even more richly as he matures.
		Yundi Li won the prestigious Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 2000, when he was 18.

		So far Yundi Li does not have much originality or uniqueness, and this, I suspect, coupled with a machine-like consistency and ability, is why he won the Chopin competition: judges love smooth technique and no outward statements to ruffle the feathers.
		Coincidentally, I listened to this CD by Yundi Li, recorded soon after his winning the Warsaw Chopin Competition in 2000 at the age of eighteen, soon after hearing Martha Argerich's only recently released first disc of Chopin performances, recorded after _her_ Warsaw triumph.
		Li has the advantage of better recorded sound, but in many ways seems cut from much the same cloth--blazing technique, youthful impetuousness that, though sometimes excessive, is irresistible.

		Most of them are private stuff which my friend sent them to me. Yundi has potential to be one of the greatest pianists, but he has to change the way he treats his own profession.
		BTW, Yundi's next CD is due to unleash Liszt's 1st PC and again, some Chopin pieces.
