This trash should be knockout from classic music. If we allow he still stay in classic music10 years late classical music will be totally terminated or no longer is classical music.

No one changed it 's classical code. like human DNA it inherited from its origin without detectable change
Please. These tunes are originated in 18th century Hungary. They are not, what some claim, gypsy tunes. The czardas is originated as a military dance, just as the waltz is. Please learn something before you bash it.
The bow and the violin have already been part of his body. Since there are so many audiences use their eyes instead of their ears to listen music, I suggest Li follow Glenn Gould to focus on recording more unaccompanied works within closed stud

I don't care if he is insane or prodigy. I don't mind how many offences he has committed against the rules of the game. I only feel whether the music he brings out could impress and/or inspire me. I am so tired of the predominated uniform violinists from those famous academies. I have longed for some new violinists able to identify and show off their own personality just like all of the past romantic violinists did. Li is exactly one of this kind. Besides, his skill is Heifetz grade or above...
If you need to make a comment like that, you'd better explain what is meant by sounding "chinese".... Hope you're intelligent enough to do just that....?
He is a briliant player nevertheless and that no one will take from him but after playing with him schubert's death and the maiden five years ago I was very dissapointed that it was close to imposible to work with him musically and artistically, and not because we where not up to par with his ideas but because they didn't make sense and he wasn't prepared at all (not meaning in playing the notes), music and art goes deeper than just playing the notes and messing around.
@apaw19 Just to clarify before people say anything. I know this is a virtuosic piece and the point is to show virtuosity but: 1. he does this in every piece (meaning the crazy shit)
2. virtuosity works best when it's organized and makes sense, like paganini, ernst or ysaye, even great klezmer and gypsy players when they improvise the greatest ones have structure to their improvisations and that's part of their genious
I think, this incredible talent is going to waste. He's a great natural talent with an amazing natural ability but all he does on the violin is servicing himself (for not using a vulgar term). I mean the excessive portatos, glissandos and slides are highly annoying and over used (as much as being to stoic is) and using all music to show of your abilities is a lack of respect for the composer and the music itself. It's selfish putting your showmanship before art itself
@mkviolin Oh I understand that. of course it's gypsy music and it's more free and with more sense of improvisation but he does it too much that it looses it's character and those excesive slides up and down and stuff take away from the main point, u must still remember this is traditional music based on folk melodies. I know lakatos and several real gypsies from hungary, bulgaria and spain and trust me they don't pleay like this, look up the name bela horvath here, I know him personally.
@apaw19 all i know is that he deserves to play with the berlin philharmonic. screw the composers. theyre just a bunch of white guys who passed away. performers like this only show how extreme an interpretation of one of those pieces is. like if u see his performance of the sibelius here on youtube you will notice that he gave new life to the piece. he played it differently than all of those boringa** conservatory students trying to impress ppl.
B uses alot of violins very well made, and all his
C uses alot of violins very well made, but on loan
or D, 1 -3 main violins and some others for fun
btw, does he own a stradivarius violin? i really want to know what violin he uses, and if he doesn't use a strad, he so deserves to use 1 and own 1-3 xD
Why do you want to know what violin he plays? The instrument won't make you a better player! Sure, it could help a little bit, but you have to do 99% of the work. Guys like him can make a Suzuki sound like a Stradivarius. Seriously: a good instrument is worthless, if you don't know what to do with it...
La Ronde des Lutins uses double-stop tremolos, which is playing different double stops quickly. It is not quite the same as double-stop trills though.
Shaham and Him are great, but I think he's just a bit too rough. IT's fine to be rough with this kind of music, but sometimes he can't play smoothly enough with some kinds of music.
Mengla Huang is also a rising amazing violin player.
This is what gypsy music should sound like. The original version that hundreds of fifth graders play is the dull version for the "normal" people. Li Chuan Yun takes out all the gypsy stuff and adds booster packs to them and then ignite and take off. Also check out Roby Lakatos' version of this. Also very amazing.
i just learned this piece. It requires either 1st finger on the string at all times. So you have to slide up and down. When its a 3rd finger harmonic you let go of the first finger.
and at that tempo, it's ridiculously good, especially when his 16th notes are pretty much tremolos.... jesus, this guy godly @ making it sound stylish

Agreed. Usually I enjoy new ways of playing, but he shows no respect for the Czardas written by Monti. He could've might as well written his own piece.
This is probably gonna get flamed by the guys who are a fan of him, but I get so bored with sensationalist style performances like this. And you'll probably say something like, "If you don't like it, don't watch it." I was listening to classical radio and they told me to look him up. Honestly, yeah it's fast. Where's the music though? Are we applauding the music or the player? I think it's more the latter, and that's not really what symphony is about IMO.
Actually... that almost IS the proper speed. The old Hungarian Primasch (head fiddler) in a Hungarian restaurant in my city played almost this fast... and honestly, it sounded better.
Well played, but it lacks the certain "something" compared to my memories. Maybe paprica in the blood :-)
The key is "Almost". And yeah, I know this is semi-accurate, historically, but let's face it. It's not straight from a sheet. It has more improvisations, IMO than Mariah Carey singing the Star Spangled Banner. Not to say it isn't an amazing expression of talent, and mastery. But imagine if it were played verbatim with only an occasional improvisation. I would find that much more enjoyable to listen to, and spend my money to see.

bountyhanz (3 months ago) Show Hide +2 Marked as spam Reply | Spam Oh my, his right hand is as fast as a space shuttle's force power, incredibly fast!!!
no, you misinterpreted my comment. I love his version and the fact that its so adlib'd, it is incredibly inspiring!!! very honored to have gone to the same music school as Chuanyun.
The best rendition of Czardas I've ever heard. It seems that Czardas was specifically written for Chuanyun Li. He is a rare violin virtuoso that comes once in a century, in the likes of Wieniawski and Sarasate. His improvisations are marks of a true musical genius. I won't be surprised if he comes out with his own compositions in the future.
Can't say I love it... but I'm definitely impressed.

The key is "Almost". And yeah, I know this is semi-accurate, historically, but let's face it. It's not straight from a sheet. It has more improvisations, IMO than Mariah Carey singing the Star Spangled Banner. Not to say it isn't an amazing expression of talent, and mastery. But imagine if it were played verbatim with only an occasional improvisation. I would find that much more enjoyable to listen to, and spend my money to see.

Again, I watched it because someone asked me to watch it. I can't form an opinion if I don't watch the video.

@porymory *well
no, you misinterpreted my comment. I love his version and the fact that its so adlib'd, it is incredibly inspiring!!! very honored to have gone to the same music school as Chuanyun.

The best rendition of Czardas I've ever heard. It seems that Czardas was specifically written for Chuanyun Li. He is a rare violin virtuoso that comes once in a century, in the likes of Wieniawski and Sarasate. His improvisations are marks of a true musical genius. I won't be surprised if he comes out with his own compositions in the future.

His 'chinese style' additions are very welcome to my ears. Not at all unpleasant to listen to.
He is a genius. Really a Composer's delightful find, to write something devilishly difficult for him uniquely.
