Yundi Li (simplified Chinese: 李云迪; traditional Chinese: 李雲迪), also known simply as Yundi, born on 7 October 1982, is a Chinese pianist who rose to fame when in 2000, at the age of eighteen, he won first prize at the International Chopin Piano Competition, the youngest person ever to do so.[1] In 2015 he also served as the competition’s youngest-ever juror.[2]

Yundi is especially known for his interpretation of Chopin and Liszt.[3][4] He is also regarded by many as a Master in Chopin.[5][6][7][8] In recognition to his contribution to Chopin pieces, the Polish government awarded Yundi with the world's first Chopin passport (Chopinowskie paszporty).[9][10][11] 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.[12][13][14][15] In 2010, Yundi was invited by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute to perform at The Memory Recital of Chopin's Birth 200th Anniversary Concert, in celebration of Fryderyk Chopin's 200th Birthday at Chopin Year Festival.[16][17][18]

Yundi is the first Chinese pianist to appear on the Wall Street Journal and the cover of Aera (magazine).[19] He is also the first Chinese pianist to have a wax sculpture by Madame Tussauds.[20]

Early life and education

Yundi was born in Chongqing, China. Both his father, Li Chuan, and his mother, Zhang Xiaolu, worked for the Chongqing Iron and Steel Company.[21] Despite coming from a family without professional musicians, 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.[22] His parents then bought him an accordion. Studying with Tan Jianmin, a local music teacher, he mastered the instrument so quickly that he won the top prize at the Chongiqing Children's Accordion Competition in March 1987.[23]

Yundi began studying piano with Wu Yong at the age of seven. Two years later, Mr. Wu introduced him to Dan Zhaoyi, one of China's most renowned piano educators, with whom he would study for nine years.[24] In 1994, when Mr. Dan Zhaoyi accepted a job offer from Shenzhen Arts School, Yundi followed him there to continue his study with him until his triumph at the 2000 International Chopin Piano Competition.[25] Later, he studied under Arie Vardi at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover in Hannover, Germany, from 2001 to 2006.

Career

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 about Yundi’s performance: “Yundi Li, a young but seasoned competition gladiator, played Chopin and Liszt with a promising mix of elegance and impetuosity.” [4][26] His United States concert debut took place the next month, when he played Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Philadelphia Orchestra.[27] 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.[28]

Signing with Deutsche Grammophon

In 2001, Yundi became the first Chinese pianist signed by Deutsche Grammophon and had his first album “Yundi Li: Chopin” released on its label. The CD was first released in Japan and warmly welcomed.[29] In their review of the album, 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 […]”[30]

Yundi's second recording of Liszt on Deutsche Grammophon, for which he exclusively recorded until November 2008, was released in August 2003 and was named "Best CD of the Year" by The New York Times.[31] This album also won the German Echo Album solo award, the Netherlands Edison Award, and the Chinese Gold Record Award.[32] 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."[33] 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".[34] He has also given a recital in the renowned Musikverein in Vienna, performing works by Mozart, Scarlatti, Schumann, and Liszt.[35]

Yundi in 2005

In April 2004, Yundi completed his North American debut recital tour which included sold-out performances in Boston, Vancouver, San Francisco and New York.[36] Yundi made his New York recital debut at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on April 24, 2004, performing Chopin scherzos and a 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."[37]

Yundi obtained Hong Kong residency in November 2006 and was among the first group of successful applicants under the Quality Migrant Admission Scheme.[38]

In 2007, Yundi became the first Chinese pianist to record live with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Seiji Ozawa. This Deutsche Grammophon release Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 2 and Ravel Piano Concerto in G Major garnered rave reviews and was a bestseller. It was named Editor’s Choice by Gramophone magazine and praised by The New York Times as one of the best classical CDs of the year.[39][40]

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..."[41] Also in 2008, he appeared as a Pennington Great Performers series artist with the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.[42]

Signing with EMI Classics

In January 2010, Yundi signed an exclusive recording contract with EMI Classics with plans to record the complete works for solo piano by Frédéric Chopin.[43]

Yundi performed a solo recital at the Royal Festival Hall in London on March 16, 2010. He played a repertoire of Chopin pieces in a sold-out concert.[44]

Signing with Deutsche Grammophon again

In May 2012, Yundi officially signed with Universal Music Group and cooperated with Deutsche Grammophon once again.[45] Deutsche Grammophon released his recording of Beethoven Sonatas in late 2012.[45] This recording was chosen as one of Classic FM's "Album of the Year 2013" and attained Platinum status in China.[46] Yundi then released recordings of Schumann Fantasie, The Art of Yundi, Chopin prelude, and Chopin ballades, berceuse and mazurkas.[47]

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.[48] 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.[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 celebrated 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]

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.[51]

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.[52] This tour was the first of a series of events commemorating the 100th anniversary of Poland's regained independence.[53]

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.[54] On November 3, Yundi performed at a live concert at Beijing National Aquatics Center celebrating the 2017 League of Legends World Championship.[55]

In 2018, Yundi had a successful debut in Australia and New Zealand. In a series of sold-out concerts, Yundi performed with local orchestras Chopin's Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 both as a soloist and a conductor.[56][57]

Signing with Warner Classics

In December 2019, Yundi signed with Warner Classics.[58] 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.[59] This album was chosen by Donald Vroon of the American Record Guide as one of the "Best of 2020".[60] 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."[61]

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

In August 2023, Yundi announced his upcoming tour, 2023 Australia Coming Back Tour: YUNDI Plays Mozart The Sonata Project 1.[62] The announced dates included Adelaide Town Hall on 28 October 2023,[63] Queensland Performing Arts Centre on 1 November 2023,[64] Sydney Opera House on 4 November 2023.[65] Yundi’s coming back tour was regarded as excellent and a huge success. [66]

In the midst of 2024 March-to-May, Yundi will embark on an 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. [67] In align with the tour, he will also release his latest album, Mozart: The Sonata Project - Salzburg.[68]

Philanthropy

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.[78]

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.[29]

Soon after the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, Yundi performed 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.[79] 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.[80]

Joining forces with I DO Fund of China Charity Federation [81] 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.[82][83]

Personal life

Arrest for alleged solicitation of prostitutes

On 21 October 2021, after a tip-off by public informants referred to as the Chaoyang masses,[84] 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.[85] 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".[86] According to The Guardian, there has thus far been no evidence that indicates the detention is politically motivated.[87]

On 16 March 2022, the United States Department of Justice released a document[88][89] that includes a detail suggesting "the derogatory information regarding the Pianist may have been manufactured". Multiple news sources[90][91] reported that "the Pianist" is an apparent reference to Li Yundi.
