With some tears, and deep emotion I listen to this. Maybe because I am Chinese; I am a violinist...Or perhaps neither and simply as a music lover and someone serving music. This playing has no affectation, no pompousness, no staging, no lack of SELF RESPECT. It is noble, beautiful, and has none of the stuff people associate the "Asian competition style" of playing. He totally disappears, you do not hear him, you do not hear interpretation, you only hear music that happens to be created by Chopin. one can count with one hand of great masters who makes music in that manner, yundi is in the league of Casals, Stern, rubinstein, etc. Carnegie Hall had heard both Horowitz and Rubinstein playing the ballad, in the electrifying legendary performances. I grew up with those records, and I shall think all the greats are smiling during this concert.

太美了，人间仙境。希望李云迪能出国演出，再次看见他的风采。

So much worry about him. Please let me hear his performance again in the near future! 🙏🙏🙏

37:16 how does a Carnegie hall Audience not know this piece 💀

多麼美妙絕倫的音樂啊，現在每天起床和睡覺都要聽你的琴音。對音樂天才的不公對待憤慨，為這世間難得的琴音喝采，致敬偉大的鋼琴音樂家..

Yundi, hang in there. Don’t give up. We look forward to your returning to concert stages! Your music has enriched the lives of all your fans and listeners.

這幾天把你的微博都刷了一遍，越了解你越喜歡你! 不管你在天上還是摔入泥潭我都會支持你! 加油! 等解封我期盼能去國外聽你的演奏。看你越來越好看真替你高興。來自台灣的祝福

Most beautiful hands of all pianists.

永遠支持李雲迪音樂世界

太美了，天才，上帝的礼物。

云迪的天赋没有改变、云迪的才华不曾蒙尘、云迪的努力不会停歇。。。静待云迪归来

直到你出事之后才关注你，没想到陷进去就出不来了。相信你能坚持把钢琴弹到极致也一定能渡过这个难关。这是上帝在考验你呢！

云迪，等你归来，有很多人在等你，祝福你

Namumyohorengekyo Any our life have to go through upheaval misery. However it's so heartbreaking to observe such rare pure genius to be persecuted like public political victimisation and manipulation. I pray he may persevere all those hard persecution. His musical personalities may remain as shining as ever.

近期一直听您弹奏的美妙琴声，从中聆听到您内心的独白，您是一个内心十分纯洁温柔的可爱孩子！纯洁可爱在这样一个纷乱复杂社会容易受伤害，但愿神保佑🙏您用音乐洗净您的创伤。

I have never heard such beautiful Chopin. Yundi is absolutely a gifted and celebrated pianist.

Whether you realize it or not, we will never hear the piano played any better -- or more beautifully -- than that. I have never heard the preludes played with such depth of feeling, keen insight, heartbreaking poignancy and certainly never with greater power, dexterity, refinement, expertise and marvelous variety of such, tone and dynamic gradations. This beautiful young man plumbed the very depths of Chopin's soul, and revealed the exquisite tenderness, the heartbreak, the longing, -- and the FURY and the DESPAIR Chopin must have experienced in his all-too-brief life. This is not PIANO PLAYING, this is SUBLIME ARTISTRY at its very best. N human being has ever gotten any closer to perfection that young Mr. Li. May God continue to bless and protect him throughout a long, fruitful and fulfilling life.

I just became Yundi’s fan! May God grand peace to Yundi! May God continue showing Yundi with His love, joy and abundant!

❤❤Take care and be safe no matter where you are and when it is!!❤❤ Success always!

百年一遇的天才！

刚成为你的支持者因为你最近的遭遇,从今往后只要是你演奏的视频都会循环点赞.你是真正的钢琴家.希望你能知道,墙外有你大量的听众和支持者.不要放弃,出国吧.

I pray that the music world will help him to stand up for his rare talent in music and a pure heart when it comes to music.

So beautiful. The world is waiting for your return!

就冲你最后的彩云追月也要给100 个赞

used to just hear his name and got to know him and his performance in these two weeks, and starting to become a fan of him and his music. Look forward to hearing his music again. I believe he will rise again stronger and maturer and focus more on the music itself.

我從你得到蕭邦首獎後就很喜歡你的琴聲,還是很多人期待再聽到你的演奏的,加油!

享受音乐，过好自己的生活，云迪你一定要加油～

望回归初心 忘却前程往事 真诚的心对待音乐！ 加油！

My unborned baby is so happy to listen to yundi li's play. So amazing...

还是像从前那样喜欢你！希望你早日回归！

Saw this exact concert in Liverpool Uk in 2016. Wonderful music, the audience threw bouquets at the end. Yundi Li plays Chopin the best of any pianist.

Bravo! Yundi you are the best. The whole world loves you and your music.

Beautiful.... Thank You for sharing your gift. May you enjoy all that life and love have to offer. 🌼 🌹 💐 🏵

37:18 Carnegie Hall audience clapping in the middle of the piece... Love how Yundi interacted with the audience there. When the clapping stopped he nodded to say "Thank you".

太棒了👏！云迪！华人的骄傲！您的才华永远不会被埋没！期待您的精彩回归和演出！

钢琴王子李云迪的琴声百听不厌……沉醉其中了🌹🌹🌹

No pianist plays the same after ten years, not to say twenty years. If they did, then they must not have lived! Great pianists know how to evolve from brilliance to artistry. Dazzling performances attract attention and awe. All pianists must dazzle to start. But a life of purely dazzling performances will turn the pianist into a performer per se and nothing more. Yundi Li is one of the very few pianists who has both poetry and virtuosity to stun anyone. I am glad to see him moving in the right direction and I can see and hear the differences in his artistic maturity from his recordings and performances. Comments comparing his current playing to twenty years ago are needless and useless.

Strongly believe that Yundi Li plays the authentic Chopin style. We fans are here for enjoying with poetic expressions of Chopin's music world.

So elegant… melt my heart.

世事无常，人生几多起伏。艺术永恒，早日回归净土。

yundi is the closest to hearing frederic chopin live. this is how chopin is supposed to be played. that he also infuses so much tenderness and care for the score while remaining steadfast to it is a testament to his capacity as a pianist. truly world class.

Piano will shine his path out.

非常美妙的琴声！把人带入仙境！可以忘掉一切烦恼！望云迪用音乐驱除一切烦恼！用音乐洗涤伤口！振作起来全身心的投入到音乐的怀抱里！

Yundi Li is the Horowitz of our time. It’s absolutely special. In this day and age it’s squandering his talent if we don’t recognize him on a global stage.

Yundi‘s Ballade No.1 is absolutely perfect! I love his interpretation so much!

Would love him to stay in the West! He has not been here in a long long time. Missed his music.

I fall in love with his sound over and over again

Yundi's music is really touched my heart...inspiring...I adore Pianist Yundi! Thank you for sharing this beautiful Chopin with us.

Come back again, words cannot express how much I love Yundi's play of Ballade no. 1 & no.4.

天籁之音。请多多演出。

Lovely performancy, Yundi Li is truly a master pianist, its such a joy to watch his performances :)

S'il arrive à s'abandonner complètement à sa musique malgré la pression de l'environnement ce pianiste sera accompli. J'en suis pour le moment moi-même incapable. Mes félicitations à ce pianiste brillant

云迪！你是世界的

윤디연주는 늘 화려합니다 최고👍

郎朗和李云迪的区别往往体现在：前者喜欢和钢琴搏斗，后者是和钢琴谈心。

I’m playing in Carnegie hall this winter

American classical music loves in rapturous applause! Such virtuoso rendition, I see Chopin playing with Yundi. What a pianist!!! Love him! And love the American audience! Never tire of listening to this recording!

盼望李云迪回归

57:54 the famous "Raindrop" Prelude. Yundi's version is so incredibly misty, morose and dreamlike... I've never heard any one play Chopin like he does with so much nuance in his tones and color... simply breathtaking

Yundi Li is superior to all of the first prize winners of the Chopin Competition after him, especially when it comes to playing Chopin.

加油儿云迪！

His first ballade performance is from another world

I pray for his back to the stage he belongs to. 🙏🙏🙏

About ten years ago I went to Carnegie for Pollini. New Yorkers loved clapping. They clapped all the time and clapped between movements. They reached new height of clapping in this clip. Simply amazing.

☕️🇫🇷💕 Love and support from Paris-Chongqing

This really was a superb recital. What is unique about Yundi, and there is no living pianist who can approach him in this respect, is his rubato. The nanosecond gives and takes in tempo and touch is what makes his playing so spellbinding. The only miscalculation was that he took the Carnegie audience for granted that they would not clap before the end of the Fourth Ballade. Many pianists rehearse this bar of silence so that audience would not clap. Never mind, the enthusiastic and adoring New York audience would clap anyway, as they did in the middle of the 24 Preludes. Bernstein used to finish the third movement of the Tchaikovsky's Pathetique symphony with a triumphant flourish and let the audience clap for half a minute, but then to plunge you into the deepest abyss in the tragic last movement.

I wish yun di come back to the stage again

He is so gifted.

I love how Yundi Li plays the 3rd Ballade. Most pianists usually rushed the broken octaves part, in an attempt to make the Ballade look as technically hard as the other three Ballades. On the contrary, Li plays it slowly, gradually increasins speed till the climax of the passage. I love it. 3rd Ballade is another kind of beast, maybe not as impresive technically speaking as the other three, but musically amazing (Gold Era pianists usually chose 3rd Ballade over 1st and 4th in their recitals) 4th Ballade performance is a jewel aswell. The main theme recapitulation from 30:36 to 31:14 is just perfect, enhacing the countermelody on the left hand (usually neglected by many pianists). Definitely, one my favourite renditions of the Set, almost as lovely as Zimmerman's and Friedman's. PS: Shit, i use to think that Carnegie Hall audience had some classical music knowledge. What part of the audience does in the 4th ballade, just before the Coda is a shame: cringe moment. Yundi shows how an amazing pianist and person he is. (If that fail would have happened with another pianist maybe the performance would have ended at that wery moment)

美妙的琴声悠扬的旋律，美妙极了！

The more times I listened and watched, the more I see and hear the beauty and subtlety of his playing. This is a performance that makes one want to go back for more and more.

他回来了！❤

39 years old mean the death of Chopin, and the social death of Yundi li, Yundi is certainly the reborn Chopin.

A masterclass for Lang Lang

Yundi is the best !

Yundi played with much refinement and restraint, avoiding excessive drama just to impress the audience in this Carnegie Hall performance. His lyricism and pianism make his playing such a joy to listen to. His interpretation of the Ballades and Preludes make his performance unique in a very crowded field of great pianists who have recorded them. To perform Chopin's most challenging and beautiful masterpieces in one recital has to be a gutsy decision. He did this over 55 times last season across Europe, North America, Japan and China. Some of his fans followed him around just to hear his slight different interpretations at each performance. I own both his albums. Thanks to the posting, I can appreciate the differences.

Yundi's play is always so moving and makes me cry... I especially love how he touches the keys. Please have a world tour! Fingers crossed Yundi comes to London in the next few years

Why do I find myself listening to classical piano at 2am all the time

This is an outstanding performance. and Yundi li is such a great artist as well as gentleman

Não sei o que aconteceu ao Yundi, mas há 20 anos ele me impressionou quando escutei seu concerto de Chopin. Depois, pouco soube sobre ele. Hoje, ele novamente me comove, pois há algo de muito intenso em sua interpretação. Fica evidente que ele já passou por muita coisa em sua vida, um turbilhão de emoções são transmitidas em cada nota. Nunca vi nada parecido. É simplesmente sublime.

Chopin always found inspiration from operatic music. Each note is with intention, never rushed, and sung. And Yundi Li is able to bring that out in Chopin’s music.

4월의 맑고 청량한 기운이 느껴진다. 이 연주를 들으면서 내 마음 속에 시원한 바람이 불어오기도 하고 응어리짐이 방울방울 맺혀서 해소되는 것 같기도 하다. 말로 표현할 수 없는 감정의 물결에 몸을 맡기는 것 같다. 감명 그 자체…

Eccezionale : fraseggio , colori , controllo , tocco , dinamica. Bravo! 😉👌

Beautiful , refined and elegant performance !!

Ogni nota ascoltata col cuore Bravo

希望从今往后远离娱乐圈 沉淀下来 静心演奏

Dear Yundi: after listening to this performance, i've decided to follow your fb. Thank you very much for this world-class contribution

Yun Di is so amazing! love his music.

I think the more you listen to Yundi's albums & live performances, the clearer you will realize that his interpretation of Chopin is one of the few that would not exhaust your ears, which is very hard to do given Chopin's expressive power in his music itself (how to show all the details while not "over-playing" them). Yundi is clearly getting more and more anti-virtuosic and self-restraint, as he shifts his attention from details of music to the overall structure or skeleton of the pieces. I know it is a matter of taste in most situations--some people prefer performances filled with "obvious" details and surprising interpretations. Personally I also enjoy different interpretations, which is what makes Chopin's music so wonderful, yet these performances/recordings won't become my favorite. Still others comment that they prefer 2000-version of Yundi. Yes, he was wonderful back then, but time is flowing and Yundi is transforming, with some bumps along the way (but who cares), so how would you expect the same "sound" coming back after almost 20 years?

fabuloso..Artista total..absoluto..inimaginável. tão jovem ! Comprimentos.

That's the first flawless performance I've ever heard on ballade 1

Wonderful in every way Yundi. Bravo

윤디님 사랑합니다. ㅠㅠ 정말 감동이에요 ㅠㅠ

This is such an exquisite display of Chopin’s music. What I like most after watching this performance is that I cannot but increase my admiration of the genius of Chopin-the greatest composer of piano music. There is no other composer who knew how to use the piano as a “voice” as he did. This performance draws you into the beauty, power, and emotions of Chopin’s Ballads and Preludes. Sheer music enjoyment at its best.

Some famous pianists just get the score right. Others strive for technical mastery through speed, which is so common for Chinese musicians these days, but here, here we have mastery of tone, which tells apart good from great! He is not afraid to slow down the tempo especially for Ballade #2, in order to show the lines, and this is what I call interpretation!🙏

So much on beating the audience about clapping during the pause in the 4th Ballade, yet no one commented on Yundi's very appropriate appreciative gestures of holding applause. Yundi continued on to play the fiery coda to perfection despite the disruption. I attend 8-10 concerts a year. Invariably there would be an incorrect applause from the audience between movements --yes--even in Carnegie Hall. All it takes is a couple of people to start, and then many more will follow, but not everyone of course. I have sat many a time next to someone who did. I just shook my head and wave my hand to stop the clapping. It worked every time.

can't believe this is a live performance

Yundi Li, you're amazing! You're the best pianist represent Chopin's piano work, as well as Glenn Gould did Bach's. Please come back to Carnegie Hall again, we want you here...

还是第一次听李云迪弹第一叙事曲，感觉很特别，在节奏上和其他版本不一样。希望重出江湖，他依然是历史上第一个获奖中国人最年轻。
