(CNTV)

The son of steelworkers from the industrial city of Chongqing; bringing to Europe the finest interpretation of their musical culture.

"He is the only composers whose works were all made for piano. He is a musical poet, a patriot whose ideas bore resemblance to traditional Chinese music. It is as delicate and perfect, always making people think."

It was for this exquisite understanding of Chopin’s work that Li Yundi at the tender age of just 18 won the celebrated International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in 2000.

Richard Bestic said, "If you want a measure of Li Yundi’s popularity take a look at Amazon’s Chinese best sellers where the classicist currently occupies 10 of the top 15 places against all-comers; classical Jazz and Pop."
