In recognition to his contribution to Chopin pieces, the Polish government awarded Yundi with the world's first Chopin passport (Chopinowskie paszporty). Yundi is also the first Chinese recipient of both Silver (2010) and Gold (2019) Medal for Merit to Culture - Gloria Artis issued by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Polish government, in regards to his contribution to both music and Polish culture.

Early life and education

edit

Yundi Li was born in Chongqing, Sichuan, China on 7 October 1982.[1][2] Both his father, Li Chuan (李川), and his mother, Zhang Xiaolu (张小鲁), worked for the Chongqing Iron and Steel Company.[3][4] Although his family was not musically inclined, he began a formal music education at a very young age. At age three, he was so enchanted by an accordion performance at a shopping mall that he refused to leave.[5] His parents subsequently bought him an accordion; he studied with Tan Jianmin, a local music teacher, he learned the instrument so quickly that he won the top prize at the Chongiqing Children's Accordion Competition in March 1987.[6]

Yundi began studying piano with Wu Yong at the age of seven. Two years later, Wu introduced him to Dan Zhaoyi, a well-known piano teacher, with whom he would study for nine years.[7][8] In 1994, Yundi enrolled at the Shenzhen Arts School [zh] to join Dan, who had recently taken up a position there, with whom he studied for the next six years.[9] Yundi attracted interest from renowned schools of music, including the Eastman School of Music and Juilliard School,[10] and was invited to study at the latter by Jerome Lowenthal.[11] Later, he studied under Arie Vardi at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover in Hannover, Germany, from 2001 to 2006.[12]

Career

edit

Signing with Deutsche Grammophon

edit

Yundi has gained international recognition since his victory in 2000 XIV International Chopin Piano Competition, as he became the first competitor to be awarded the First Prize in 15 years since Stanislav Bunin won it in 1985,[13] as well as the youngest and first Chinese first-prize winner.[14] Since then, he has collaborated with leading orchestras worldwide, including the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra,[15] the Leipzig Gewandhausorchester, Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Philharmonia Orchestra.[16]

In 2001, Yundi became the first Chinese pianist signed by Deutsche Grammophon (DG) for which he exclusively recorded until November 2008. On the DG label he released his first album Yundi Li: Chopin released on its label. The CD was first released in Japan and warmly welcomed.[17] In their review of the album, the Gramophone magazine stated that "[…] his unequivocal triumph is faithfully mirrored on his DG début album in performance after performance. Everything is naturally and enviably proportioned (a rare but necessary attribute in the everelusive Chopin)‚ everything fuelled alike by a style and poise way beyond his teenage years […]”[18]

Yundi made his Carnegie Hall debut to great acclaim in June 2003, performing in a concert celebrating the 150th Anniversary of Steinway & Sons. Bernard Holland of The New York Times wrote that: "Yundi Li, a young but seasoned competition gladiator, played Chopin and Liszt with a promising mix of elegance and impetuosity."[1][19] His United States orchestral debut took place the next month, when he played Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Philadelphia Orchestra.[20] He was also honoured at a special reception at the home of the Chinese Ambassador to the United States, where he performed for various officials of the US State Department.[21]

Deutsche Grammophon released Yundi's second recording, of Liszt, in August 2003, which was named among the "Best Classical CD's of the Year" by The New York Times.[22] This album also won the German Echo Klassik Solo Recording of the Year Solistische Einspielung des Jahres, the Chinese Gold Record Award, and nominated Edison Award's Instrumental Soloist (Instrumentale Solorecitals).[23][24] Of this recording, Harris Goldsmith of Musical America wrote that it "[...] includes perhaps the finest account of the B-minor Sonata I have ever heard— [it] is, if anything, light years ahead in patrician elegance: exquisite artistry from one of the greatest talents to surface in years—nay, decades."[25] His third recording Chopin: Scherzi/Impromptus, comprising Chopin's four scherzi and three impromptus, was released in late 2004. Anthony Tommasini of the New York Times praised this recording for Yundi's "white-hot virtuosity" and "uncanny clarity".[26] Also in 20014, he gave a recital in the Musikverein, Vienna, performing works by Mozart, Scarlatti, Schumann, and Liszt.[27]

Yundi completed his North American debut recital tour in April 2004 which included sold-out performances in Boston, Vancouver, San Francisco and New York.[28] He made his New York recital debut at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on April 24, 2004, performing Chopin scherzos and the Liszt sonata among other pieces. Reviewing this recital, Allan Kozinn of the New York Times wrote: "Mr. Li deals in a more poetic, deeply considered pianism, delivered without extraneous gestures and body language. One thing Mr. Li showed was that thoughtful interpretation can be every bit as virtuosic and exciting as the showier variety."[29] In May of the same year, Yundi had concerts in Warsaw National Museum, representing cultural exchange between China and Poland.[30]

 
Yundi in 2005

In 2005, Yundi became the first Chinese pianist to appear on the cover of Wall Street Journal and the Aera magazine.[31][32] He obtained Hong Kong residency in November 2006 and was among the first group of successful applicants under the recently announced Quality Migrant Admission Scheme.[33]

In 2007, Yundi became the first Chinese pianist to record live with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Seiji Ozawa. Deutsche Grammophon released Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2 and Ravel's Piano Concerto in G Major, which garnered positive reviews; it was named Editor’s Choice by Gramophone magazine,[15] and praised by The New York Times as one of the best classical CDs of the year.[34][1] Bryce Morrison of Gramophone reviewed the album: "[...] Indeed, his performance of the Prokofiev, in its prodigious, unflagging power and brilliance, far surpasses any other in the catalogue".[35]

Yundi is the subject of a 2008 feature-length documentary, The Young Romantic: A Portrait of Yundi, directed by Barbara Willis Sweete. This documentary "captures the poetic intensity of this young virtuoso as he works with the great Maestro Seiji Ozawa to prepare for his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra"[36] In 2008, he became the first Chinese pianist to have a wax sculpture by Madame Tussauds.[37] Also in 2008, he appeared as a Pennington Great Performers series artist with the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.[38]

Yundi performing at the St George's Hall, April 2013

In May 2012, Yundi officially signed with Universal Music Group and collaborated with Deutsche Grammophon once again.[44] Deutsche Grammophon released his recording of Beethoven Sonatas in late 2012.[44] This recording was chosen as one of Classic FM's "Album of the Year 2013" and attained Platinum status in China.[45] Yundi then released recordings of Schumann Fantasie, The Art of Yundi, Chopin prelude, and Chopin ballades, berceuse and mazurkas.[46]

Yundi launched his "Piano Dream" national tour in his hometown Chongqing on August 19, 2013, and brought his music to 30 cities in the next 80 days. Most of those cities were second or third-tier.[47] In response to questions from the media and the public, Yundi remarked that it was not degrading for him to perform in second and third-tier cities and he didn't mind the less ideal conditions of some concert halls; he simply wanted to provide more people with an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of classical music.[48]

 
Yundi with First Lady Anna Komorowska in 2014

On 1 March 2014, Yundi performed a piano recital at the Poland's National Philharmonic, celebrating the 204th anniversary of Chopin’s birth. Anna Komorowska, then First Lady of Poland, listened to the concert.[49]

In July 2015 and as featured guest soloist, Yundi embarked on a nine-concert tour with the National Youth Orchestra of the United States led by conductor Charles Dutoit. Comprising mainly the orchestra’s debut performances in Asia, the tour started at Purchase College’s Performing Arts Center and ended in Hong Kong. Carnegie Hall was the second stop. The other six concerts were given in mainland China.[50]

On 30 October of the same year, while performing Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in Korea, Yundi suffered a memory lapse.[51] He subsequently performed the piece smoothly again with conductor David Robertson and the orchestra.[52] Later, Yundi apologised for his mistake on his weibo, and explained it happened because of travel fatigue.[53] Critics stated the overall performance as “The famed Chinese pianist's slip up steals the show, but his Chopin is still stellar”, commented the mistake as “that’s the nature of live music, and perfection is boring” and considered the remedy “[…]But it gave me even greater admiration, on many levels, for everyone involved[…]In the temple to the arts, I was witnessing a moment of pure civility, decency and camaraderie, and was given a reminder that the gods are, in fact, human, and all the more heroic for that.”[52]

 
Yundi in 2016

In 2016, Yundi went on a Chopin world tour, which includes Germany, Russia and the United States.[54] In March, he performed an all-Chopin program in Carnegie Hall, with an encore Ren Guang’s Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon. Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim of the New York Times commented "[…]he showed off a graduated array of colors and moods, including moments of understated simplicity and tenderness light-years removed from his high-decibel image.[…]".[55] On April 21 of the same year, he performed in the National Concert Hall of Dublin.[54]

In May 2017, Yundi attended the opening ceremony of the Yundi Art Museum, located in the Chongqing Huangjueping Piano Museum. It displays several pianos from different stages of Yundi's career, including his first piano, as well as a collection of his awards, albums and photographs, and a high-tech experience pavilion.[56]

From August 29 to September 5 in 2017, Yundi led the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra on a five-city concert tour in China, performing Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 and No. 2 as both the pianist and the conductor. It was Yundi's first time picking up the baton.[57] This tour was the first of a series of events commemorating the 100th anniversary of Poland's regained independence.[58]

In November 2017, Yundi went on tour playing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, K 488 with Staatskapelle Dresden in Germany and China.[59] On November 3, Yundi performed at a live concert at Beijing National Aquatics Center celebrating the 2017 League of Legends World Championship.[60]

In December 2019, Yundi signed with Warner Classics.[63] He soon released a new album on its label, Chopin’s Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2, in January 2020. In this recording, he not only played the piano, but also conducted the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra from the piano bench.[64] This album was chosen by Donald Vroon of the American Record Guide as one of the "Best of 2020".[65] The International Piano Magazine reviewed this recording, "This is aristocratic Chopin, unfailing in its clarity, elegance and unforced eloquence. Nothing is over-played, everything is expressed. Yundi Li ranks among the finest, his reading of the F minor Concerto’s central love song hauntingly inward looking. The Warsaw Philharmonic offer stout support, and sound and balance are exemplary."[66]

2023-present: YUNDI Plays Mozart The Sonata Project 1 Comeback Tour

edit

Yundi embarked on his comeback tour, 2023 Australia Coming Back Tour: YUNDI Plays Mozart The Sonata Project 1 in 2023, two years after he was blacklisted in China for alleged solicitation of prostitutes.[67] At his performance in Adelaide, Yundi performed Chopin’s Nocturne In E Flat Major as an encore.[67] Yundi’s coming back tour was regarded as excellent and successful.[68]

In the midst of 2024 March-to-May, Yundi embarked on a European Tour of YUNDI Plays Mozart The Sonata Project 1, visiting cities historically connected with Mozart, which includes Vienna, Paris, Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, and Berlin.[69][70][71][72] In align with the tour, he released his latest album, Mozart: The Sonata Project - Salzburg.[73][74][75][76] From September to October of the same year, Yundi went on an Asian tour, including Japan[77] and Singapore.[78][79]

Repertoire, technique and performance style

edit

Regarded as one of the finest interpreters of Chopin,[82][83][84][85][86] Yundi is also known for his interpretations Liszt and Prokofiev.[19][87][88][89] His other repertoires, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel and Schumann, have also received acclaim.

Chopin

edit
 
Yundi's Fantaisie Impromptu
In Yundi's 2001 album Chopin, his Fantaisie Impromptu is regarded as "The melody design of the middle section is embedded in a very sonically oriented accompaniment. The fast passages are lively without being intrusive. Yundi Li manages to strictly adhere to the composition’s guidelines and yet convey a vivacity that places his interpretation alongside that of other great pianists."[90]

Yundi's versions of Chopin are referred "artistically serious, poetic, romantic, light-touch, harmonious, and uplifting",[91] as well as "authentic and impeccable".[83] The Telegraph praised his performance as "beautifully polished and unfailingly elegant",[92] while BBC Music Magazine noted that his “technically precise considered" approach to the music was heightened with "virtuosic flair".[93]

Yundi's technique in Chopin's pieces is described as "He has all that’s needed in poetry and sensitivity. His touch is perfect—never heavy, as Biret can be—and yet there is joy, zest, technical aplomb, healthy drama, and unerring tempos and rhythms."[94] and "Every passage is woven so smoothly and naturally that not even a grain of sound is felt, and this, combined with Chopin's pale romanticism, heightens the listener's sense of immersion."[83]

Liszt

edit

Yundi's interpretations of Liszt are described "dazzling, daredevil renderings, sheer, heart-stopping beauty".[22] His versions are believed to have "a smooth playing, with its flowing, impassioned rhythms, and full, rich tone, is a complete and dynamic interpretation of the score, without loss of style or form".[88]

Beethoven

edit

Jed Distler of Gramophone reviewed Yundi's ‘Moonlight’ Sonata "There’s more swing and edge to the Allegretto than I gave him credit for, while the unflappable security behind the finale’s sheen and sparkle does not preclude nervous energy. Yundi’s Moonlight may not be the deepest in the catalogue but it wears well over repeated hearings and will not steer collectors wrong."[95]

Mozart and Ravel

edit

Yundi's Mozart interpretations are described "very graceful, extremely delicate and charming, refined and aristocratic".[96] His versions of Ravel are regarded "a tart, exuberant and (in the Adagio assai) dreamy account of the Ravel concerto."[97]

Schumann and Prokofiev

edit

Yundi's interpretations of Schumann are "tempered by good taste and that rare ability to hit upon just the right tempos" and "brought a wider range of dynamics and dramatic characterization to the music".[98] Yundi "excels in Prokofiev’s volatile, technically daunting Piano Concerto No. 2." and "plays with expansive lyricism, surging power and, when called for, incisive attack."[97]

Achievements

edit

Personal life

edit

Yundi owns a cat named Musigny.[120] His hobbies are listening to Verdi accompanied by good red wine, and drinking tea while listening to jazz.[118] His role-model is Chopin.[121]

Foodie

edit

“In fact, food can also bring out the feeling of music. For example, in French composer Ravel's classic piece Jeux d'eau, the last line is just like the disappearance of champagne bubbles.”

—Yundi in a 2016 interview[122]

Yundi enjoys cuisine across the globe, as he believes that music styles of places can be found from food.[122] He particularly likes crabs.[123] He is also good at cooking, especially Sichuan cuisine twice-cooked pork.[122]

Philanthropy

edit

In 2001, Yundi donated a portion of the sales revenue of his first CD “Yundi Li: Chopin” to United Nations Children's Fund, aiming to benefit children living in China’s economically disadvantaged areas.[17]

Soon after the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, Yundi cancelled his European concerts[124] to perform in a fundraising concert in Beijing, along with several other famous musicians of Sichuan origin. Funds raised at the concert were donated to helping rebuild schools in Wenchuan County and providing mental healing services for children affected by the earthquake.[125] On November 29, 2008, right before the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Yundi headlined a charity concert held in the Bird’s Nest Stadium to support people disabled by the earthquake.[126]

On January 11, 2011, before a charity piano recital in Beijing, Yundi told reporters that "Charity is just like music which comes from deep inside my heart. I can express my love for society and my country through my fingers, just like Chopin did." This recital was for the individuals and companies that had contributed to the efforts of the Red Cross Society of China in 2010. During the recital, Yundi was honored as the Music Ambassador of the Chinese Red Cross Foundation.[127]

Joining forces with I DO Fund of China Charity Federation [128] in 2016, Yundi helped build the first music classroom and library for Puma Jiangtang Elementary School, the school with the highest altitude (5373 meters) in Tibet. The music classroom was named after Yundi. At the opening ceremony on September 1, also the first day of the new school year, Yundi taught the Tibetan children to play the piano hoping to help them open the door to music exploration.[129][130]

Arrest for alleged solicitation of prostitutes

edit

On 21 October 2021, after a tip-off by public informants referred to as the Chaoyang masses,[131] Yundi was detained by Beijing police for allegedly hiring a prostitute. Under Chinese law, Yundi could be detained for up to 15 days and fined up to 5000 yuan ($782) for illegally soliciting a sex worker. The Chinese Musicians' Association subsequently declared that it would revoke Yundi's membership.[132] Jerome A. Cohen, a New York University law professor specializing in the Chinese law, called the "lack of transparency" about his case "concerning", noting that prostitution is a "time-honored Communist Party claim against political opponents".[133] According to The Guardian, there has thus far been no evidence that indicates the detention is politically motivated.[134]

On 16 March 2022, the United States Department of Justice released a document[135][136] that includes a detail suggesting "the derogatory information regarding the Pianist may have been manufactured". Multiple news sources[137][138] reported that "the Pianist" is an apparent reference to Yundi.
