Yundi Li Verdi Liszt "Rigoletto" Fantasy Paraphrase

[jazzableful]

"A God given talent" is what this young man was given! I just came across this video today! There are not enough adjectives to express my feelings on his extraordinary beautiful playing...........I am in awe! I need to thank You Tube for putting videos on my channel to view and I chose this classical one. I am a Jazz fan! I NEVER heard or saw anything this amazing and want to acknowledge him in my comment for how I feel! "He is a genius!"

[kiapowmia]

It takes so much more dedication and hard work to be a pianist as good as he is, I just wish I was this good, there is still time for me though, well after seeing that I am off to practice some more. This is very inspirational, thanks for posting this video.

[PhillyB702]

@kiapowmia This piece isn't too hard. It actually fits the hands really nicely. The hardest part is probably the chromatic thirds and sixths. It sounds and looks hard, but is far from it.

[bh1520]

goood

[tsunadegollum]

Since I hear it the first time I have to hear this brilliant interpretation every day!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!

[JModestas]

Free notes of this piece you will find in :  FREEMUSICBOOKS . COM (there many notes for free!!!)

[eramalo]

IT°S A DELIGHFUL MASTERPIECE, WELL PERFORMED BY THIS VERY YOUNG PIANIST. HIS HANDS SLIDE, AND SO WE ENJOY AS IN A TRUE THEATER. GREAT!

[Polihymna]

It is a pretty and nice piano player,he reminds me on a singer,I send him to you.

[tonicfizz]

quelle sensibilité, quelle interprétation...Non seulement sa technique est parfaite, mais l'émotion qu'il fait partager a son auditoire est elle aussi fine, brillante, sublime...Loin de lui toute rigueur mécanique et toute fausseté. Tout n'est qu'intelligence et sincérité.Un vrai bonheur

[Polihymna]

Lovely.Nice

[e4e5sf3sf6]

Thumbs up if your favourite pianist is Yundi Li and that you are in love with him in the least gayest way possible <3

[romm28]

fucking lights... poor yundi.

[operawar]

Interesting version....bravo

[bachopinberg]

how the f..k can him play with those lights??

[DarknessL12]

Hahah Actually this is a normal Piece from Listz ..If u've practiced Listz before , Almost all the pieces from him are Fucking Hard .I can play Liebestraum and that definitely one of the easiest pieces **So Sad :( **

[PacificFlows]

GAY.

[medrasgate]

Too technical and practically no passion.

[PacificFlows]

@medrasgate You're a faggot.

[NOSEhow2LIV]

This brittle-fingered person understands nothing of music, or of his instrument.

[bb0ysmiley]

@NOSEhow2LIV : Hmmmm... If that's so, then I wonder how he won the Chopin competition 10 years ago... hmmmm.... And the year before that, he got third place in the international Liszt competition...

[joosh1125]

haha I've played under lighting like this performance and it's impossible to play :D

[PianoP3nguin]

@Macowong911 If you look online you can find a copy of the original published piece. It's Rigoletto Paraphrase by Liszt, based off of Verdi's opera, Rigoletto. That's the copy I am currently using.

[Macowong911]

uhm does anybody knows which arrangement is that?

[gnimez]

the spotlight is super irritating, i wonder how he can play with that high intensity laser beam right beside his eyes.

[yongliang1988]

@gnimez Agreed. The rotating blue lights are distracting.

[PeteN75]

Let me remember to Liszt the Hungarian Giant who was one of the best pianist and composer ever lived on earth.......... simply unbelievable

[Chopin1976l]

Horowitz also made mistakes. Slips always happen in live concerts. Yundi li is by far one of the best young pianists today. Mistakes and all. His passion is genuine and his technique outstanding!

[wiczitier]

Actually there is quite a few mistakes for a pianist like him....

[vbatuhan]

Words cant describe this beauty therefore we use music for describe it.

[MultiLeun]

amazing!

[richclayderman]

from 4:40 amazing!

[Darrning]

Che pianista del cazzo!

[tigertolyy]

Completely amazing.

[omguanyin]

i wonder how long does it take for him to master a piece lol...

[ykpatr]

Bardzo Pięknie 6******Bardzo Najmocniej Kocham Muzykę 6******

[cobhc318]

very good,he's god

[sonofmanchu]

I wish I were half as good as he is!

[blade42251]

i think one hundredth would be good enough.

[seanmcnally]

yundi likes blue

[Oorangy]

ughh stupid lighting..it keeps on casting shadows on the piano...isnt it confusing to play andlook at it? o.o sure looks dizzy to me

[Hemitris]

pianists only see music

[omguanyin]

whoa imba piece

[Dantever123]

so do u ?

[iceartic25]

he looks like mozart

[koobird]

or Chopin

[vincentws03]

on absolutely no basis can you say HE doesn't understand Chopin

[JakWho92]

(I'm a big Liszt fan but I just realized that Mozart rocks too)

:D

[Jusohpin]

wonderful!!!! he played extremely...(the spot light is indeed ignorant man)

[pepemazter]

Suerte que Yundi Li no se percate de éllo XD

[itsanthonyhere]

Asian TV has so many damn colors haha

[itsanthonyhere]

I'm ignorant because I said there is color??

[nycfemale2008]

as always, splendid

[ceciliahyx]

it is so clear and full of emotion

[mutoroni]

ye ye anem a vore qe sau pensat qe ixe es el unik q sap tocar aixo o qee?!!!

PABLO la toca millor!!

[4evaFanFuruba]

beautifully played ! It's so perfect!

[nala1106]

perfect!

[eugatm]

god this is beautiful

[choletalenda]

zu atemlos, zu stressig. schade, ist immerhin eine opern-paraphrase, das darf man nicht vergessen. ich hab die rigoletto-paraphrase von yundi li auf CD, da spielt er sie um ein vielfaches besser. aber im studio hat er ja auch mehrere versuche....

[amantedipiano]

uau he's really a genius

[reviver4dream]

the spotlight there was really disturbing i think...

[sTaCkYjO]

yes, but everyone make mistakes. how come you didnt catch the slips at 0:07, 3:53, 4:18, etc.? its ok to make mistakes. yundi li has great dynamics and expression which is what counts. i also find it interesting that you posted negative comments on this excellent video and my brother's video. i'd like to see you play this piece perfectly and the PERFECT tempo without ANY mistakes or even a tiny slip.

[xxh3llfir3xx]

i agree . when your playing a piece as hard as this.. its impossible not to make a mistake

[superhao69]

totally Agree

[andyng85]

Too many slips for my liking though. The lighting is probably to blame...

[inamabilisoppa]

@sTaCkYjO it's hilarious how people think they are better than everybody else because their reputation and standings in life do not apply online. Sigh. Welcome to planet Earth, peoples.

[chrestien83]

@sTaCkYjO Also, while being filmed at every angle in an auditorium full of people.

I would pay good money to see that.

[ChieGarden]

nice sounds!

[PJmusicFan]

Totally Amazing! Your hands seem to be moving really fast like 10 mph.

[matthewlopez7]

@PJmusicFan I think you forgot a '0' after 10, because 10mph is constipation slow.

[wziren]

amazing
