Li Yundi enchants London

China is not only importing talent, it’s also exporting it. Chinese piano sensation Li Yundi has recently appeared in London, the halfway point of his European tour. 12 years ago, he was the youngest pianist ever to win the International Chopin Competition. Today, his international reputation is firmly established.

At home, Li Yundi’s cabinets creak under the weight of international awards for his work.

But when I caught up with the star during his 15 city tour he admitted to me that this time it was special because it’s a first.

Li Yundi said, "It is the first time I’ve played Beethoven in an European tour. I have never played his music in European concert halls for the public."

It is a memorable milestone in a breathtaking career.
