Stunningly beautiful interpretation of La Vals, at times lyrical and at times passionate.
His understanding, feeling, and artistic sensibility is as mature as the duo pianists version of this piece by the team of Martha Argerich and Nelson Freire...he has that same luscious swagger...a full dance combo of the sense and sensibility of a valse united with a lusty Tango
Best young pianist around .What separates him is his mature grasp of the pieces he plays .He runs circles around his female counterpart Yuja Wang in this respect.
Aww, I've watched you grow all these years but you always were and will always be a natural born pianist of a very high order.
Thank you. Li! I love this music.
what an outrageous and brillant interpretation! wow! soooooooooooooooooo great! and above all: those glissandi! Li gives to all a poetic but as well diabolic and virtuos note - what a congenious mixture! BRAVO!
wow!!! just found this..one of the best interpretations of this piece and he's still a student? and the cherry on top, wonderful, clean, clear sound recording, so rare on youtube. Thank you George Li and "SoundProfessionalBoston"
my favorite interpretation!
Excellent!!!!
I'm a fan of yours!!
What a fabulous performance!!!!!!!! Just heart stopping! Congratulations maestro!
George, you are a Master
I’m speechless
The best!
As a solo work, it's one of those thanklessly ungovernable transcriptions that many accomplished pianists are still bent on giving their best shot. (Same for Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise," and Stravinsky's "Petrushka" tryptich - all Russian composers, as luck would have it.) Here, everything's awfully good until about the 8:44 mark where a tendency to push too quickly forward starts to blur details and countervail the many tasteful details up to that point. I'm aware that the impression of upheaval is intentional on Ravel's part, but I also believe he'd favor clarity over haste. All that being said, it's still an incredible performance AND an intelligent re-thinking of the composer's solo-keyboard version. I was going to say we should keep our eyes open for other things by this clearly up-and coming pianist, but I did a bit of research and learned that he's already won the 2016 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the silver medal at the 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition. He's already been discovered, all you armchair impressarios.
can't be sure but the chromatic flourish at the beginning suggests this might be the Ray Alston performance edition of the work rather than Ravel's rather unmanageable transcription itself. Exhilarating performance with enormous energy but possibly not among the most finessed.
I miss talking to you on FB, I got rid of it awhile back!
Wow, the expressions, how you memorize all that amazes me!
A boss on the piano for sure, love it!
Fantastic!!!
George is amazing.
Awesomely done, George!
Wunderbar👏👏👏
Simply stunning.
There's a few mistakes early in the main theme but still very good
Wow this was AMAZING!! only second to yuja wang's
Lim dong hyek's is the best
You are awesome..
Nice🎶
see alex beyer's too
why is the synch so off on youtube sometimes ?
The audience noise (some a-hole eating potato chips or pistachios??) is absolutely INEXCUSABLE. Wonderful performance marred by bullsh*t.
agreed
Прекрасное сочинение, замечательный пианист. БРАВО !!!
Но по мне так симфонический вариант лучше. Оркестр, что ни говорите, имеет больше тембровых красок.
Are Caucasians still playing the piano?
Way too fast.
