Christian Li, you are the best junior violinist in the world. Even under extreme pressure, you handle the music maturely. Keep being amazing!

@rofo2107 5 жыл бұрын

Hah, don't forget Chloe Chua, they are both wtih Li of the same age, talent, discipline and they play both violin on the same level. But they play it totally different way :). Li plays mainly for outer effect meanwhile Chloe plays according to composer's intention. Don't take it bad but some people can't stand playing just for effect.

Your comparison of two brilliant children, 9 months apart in age, is inappropriate and inconsequential. Their families and teachers don't indulge in such petty schoolyard ranking. Neither did the judges at the prestigious Menuhin Competition in 2018. Watch, listen, admire, and enjoy.

@@rofo2107 : to claim, Christian plays for "effect" only, is ridiculous. Listening to his Bruch, Vivaldi etc. opens musical worlds. I love Chloe too, but all these likes are a matter of opinion, taste, and prejudice.

Each piece I watch Christian play I just don’t know which words to use as he leaves me speechless with his skill and total control of the violin. It is not only a joy to listen to he is a joy to watch as well. He is one with the instrument and you can see how much he loves playing. Another outstanding performance.

Christian Li, you never disappoint! It always brings me so much joy to listen to you and watch you perform. Goodness, you have matured musically so much in just one year! I am always so impressed by your ability to collaborate with other musicians. You and your accompanist, Laurence Matheson, worked so well together. BRAVO!

What a darling of a little man who will someday be famous. We are lucky to see him as he grows through his stages into the full adult famous violinist world wide. He is very strong guy to take on so much learning and discipline and conduct himself in such a mature manner that is uncommon in most of the population of unruly kids these days with no real goals. His work will be rewarded. I pray he get the nurturing and off time needed to have a well rounded life. Am anxious to see him blossom once he reaches manhood.. He is another of Gods gifts of prodigies that we are so fortunate to see on KZfaq. Thanks YT.

Superlative in every way, both violin and piano. To Christian Li and Laurance Matheson: when your incomparable duo performs your first recital in Carnegie Hall, and I know you will, please play this piece. You are a peerless duo, perfectly synchronized, thinking and feeling together like twins. This video deserves to be immortalized in a time capsule. To all my fellow listeners: we are lucky to be alive in a world where these two maestros bring the genius of Dvorak to life in this brilliant, glistening Sonatina. To the parents and teachers of these two perfect musicians: unadulterated praise and thanks. Lilian Duval, U.S.

Of course, thank you to your parent's for giving him encouragement every day. What method do you use to practice? As an advanced pianist, practice is extremely important to achieve a stellar performance, such as the one above. Thank you, and keep giving us extraordinary music.

Dear Parents, 1stThank you for this gift! Christian is going to be the best violinist from all sides (musically he is really good and, of course, technically) Please, ask him for me (as a violinist) what is in his mind during his playing? Does he think about notes, about accuracy or how to shift and get right note? Or something else? It will be really helpful for us - common persons. Regards

@ChristianLiViolin 5 жыл бұрын

Edward Onischenko I asked him, he said in practice, he will consider the accuracy of what you say, but in performance, he will only consider the cooperation with the orchestra or the piano, and try to show the right character of any movement to the audience.

Is this violin made by the Nicolo Amati predecessor of Antonio Stradivari? That Nicolo Amati died in 1684. Anyway, violins need violinists, and your playing is wonderful. I hope to listen you playing Mazurek, also by Dvorak!

Two wonderful, sensitive musicians. A brief comment would be Mr Matheson might do well to consider using less una corda - it devalues the range of colour and control which I am sure he has, and it does Mr Li no favours in listening to and blending with a wider tonal colour range around him because his violin will always be "on top" even when it needn't (or shouldn't) be. Nevertheless, a distinct pleasure to see two young performers at this stage of their journey enjoying themselves with honest music making without the histrionics and artificial "expressions" that seem to have become the norm with too many up-and-coming instrumentalists. Well done, guys!

He's been practicing 40 hours a day since he was 36 months old. No, seriously it's amazing to watch his progress from only five years old and how he's developed. Even at seven he was shockingly good; sounding wonderful on a smaller violin. In a few years when the violin is no longer bigger than his entire upper body....well he already sounds awesome now, can't imagine what we'll be hearing when he's 16.

I would recommend him to play short pieces (to 6 min.) on stage. His brain like supercomputer and it will be not healthy to force him to do this mega performance during such long period of time. Nose Bleeding is effect from such big pressure on his brain. Parents, you should know, that during performance, artist uses almost every part of his brain. Like engine overheating during fast driving. I'm worrying about his health, He is a really nice boy. Please, tell him that he is already popular in Ukraine) My best wishes !
