This is probably what Beethoven would have liked to hear expressed by a pianist other than himself. It comes from the heart and soul. So so very very beautiful.
I am working on it also and following this video. It’s absolutely beautiful and Mr. Li is among the best in the world. I just finished learning Chopin’s nocturne in E flat major and was following Mr. Li’s video as well ua-cam.com/video/KLzYwT9YT-c/v-deo.html. I couldn’t find any other video which is better. I don’t have a teacher, so UA-cam is the best resort. Thank you UA-cam! 🙏❤️😍
The world is more beautiful because of you and your music! My favorite pianist!!!! Please continue. Excellent performance and high quality video recording!
Actually, it's Beethoven's music. Which has been played by Yundi and thousands of others over the years, but Yundi's interpretation is the absolute best.
@@mr.marino9247 “not even close” is an overstatement. People have different tastes in playing styles and I prefer Yundi’s version. Still I’m not gonna go putting down Barenboim because there’s no need to. I feel that there’s a need to be right in today’s internet era, but no, you don’t always need to be right.
I do believe... This is absolutely the result of incredible intense discipline, unbelievable determination and very, very hard work- for a very long time. You are absolutely magnificent, unbelievable and fantastic. Lol from Switzerland 🇨🇭
I love the way he played this movement. tenderness and calm. even if Beethoven himself may have played it more passionately, this version is also my taste.🤣
Yundi Lo en esta interpretación es como si su corazón hablara ,eso e s lo que yo siento cuando yo lo escucho,lo más profundo de su ser.Amo a ese joven cuando lo siento tocar
This guy is beyond gifted. He doesn't play music. Music radiates from him. I hope that if he has children, they inherit his virtuoso trait and learn to play the piano.
This is not a movement played pianissimo, this is a collection of notes and phrases chosen and emplaced specifically to interrupt the silence exactly to convey the mood.
The sweetness of 'another world' is consistent throughout this Adagio, even during the rougher part. Beautiful interpretation of Beethoven's inner yearning.
This is possibly my absolute favorite piano piece, and Yundi is definitely top 3 for best interpretations. Adagio Cantabile calms my soul every time =)
It makes me think how this piece was written so many years ago that they were just like us. Felt love, pain ,happiness, anguish. Humanity isn't all together bad in the end is it...
For decades I have been listening to many different interpretations of this Adagio Cantabile by renowned pianists trying to find the touch, expressiveness and tempo which matches the magic of this composition. So far Rudolf Serkin had achieved the best performance in my view. However, I must say that this magnificent rendition by Yundi is among the three best ones
I like how this is the first time that Yundi wants to challenge the Beethoven in the style of romantism between him and Chopin ! Nice collab of German and Polish Classical music !
@@bnguyen319 Chinese police monitored money transaction between a woman and Yundi Li recently and accused him committed a crime of engaging a prostitute.
Stunning performance. No one can play it better than you, Maestro Li. I could listen to this Adagio for hours and hours, to get inspiration from your outstanding talent and musicality. Thanks!
Yundi will always be my favourite ❤. Period. I recently played one of chopin's preludes in my exam, and i went through many performances by different pianists. But his interpretation was by far the best and it helped me to get the top score in that exam. I owe it to him. Thank you yundi, and wherever you are right now please know that you are still much loved & respected!
He escuchado esta sonata en muchos trabajos. Películas, series y hasta animé, ahora por fin sé cual es y esta interpretación si bien es diferente, como debe ser pues a fin de cuentas el interprete es un artista al darle su toque, su sentimiento, su sentido. Siento que va un poco más lento o desconozco el tiempo al que debería ir, sin embargo es demoledora la interpretación, me gustó mucho pues le da un sentimiento todavía más hermoso. Sublime.
This is simply one of the most beautiful musical works ever created by a human being. If there are only 100 musical compositions to be selected to remember mankind by, in a distant future where man is extinct and other species can only study us by what we leave behind, this would surely be one of the first compositions to select for preservation.
Yundi, I just love this pieve of Beethoven, and it is wonderful to listen to this beauty when you are performing. You are fanastic. Thank you so much for sharing your huge and adorable talent.
Everything about this…he strokes the keys the same way lights kiss his skin, giving off that flickering hope in the harsh reality of life, beautiful and gentle gentle gentle.
Listen with headphones soon after waking up in the morning and it is that much more powerful, to me at least. Not desensitized to the day yet. Truly brings a tear.
hosinooji not really actually he is still having his classic piano concert everywhere frequently you think he doesn’t play anymore but it’s totally wrong,he love piano strongly,so he won’t give it up absolutely
This master pianist allows the focus to be upon the beautiful music instead of himself and gives it freely allowing the genius of Beethoven to be fully revealed and appreciated. Together they fill our senses with such peace and beauty. A gift from God.
god had nothing to do with it. He's linking the notes together with legato and pushing and pulling time with rubato. It's a well performed interpretation.
I am a poor piano player without the gift given to Beethoven or Chopin, but I can appreciate their work and benefit from the joy and comfort it provides and celebrate it regardless of its simplicity - like a great painting of few strokes. You explore the technical aspects of music and that's fine, but few care and judge with their ears and emotional response to the piece.
@@paulb.6751 I never ever diminished this work, It's not simple at all. In fact I can play it and the finger transitions are difficult. My point was "god has nothing to do with it".
I had already listened I really like this interpretation is very sweet indeed and so good to hear... I almost felt like listening ot a different song due to interpretation and liked it very, very much!
I am a classical pianist of over fifty years. This is probably the best rendition of this piece that I have heard.
Schubert plays it on snoopy really nice
And you are correct
thats half a decade jesus christ
I am a classical pianist of over one hundred years. This is in the top five of the best renditions of this piece that I've ever heard.
@@desktopsa2bceo124 that’s half a century, or in other words, 5 decades
this must be what heaven sounds like
Yundi is a born genius in piano. God bless him and restore him the honor.
No matter what people say about the pianist, this is surely a lovely rendition and one of the best on UA-cam.
thank you! we'll be playing this at my younger brother's funeral in 2 weeks time. God bless the little bugger! Mark RIP

I'll never stop saying it : Yundi has offered us the best ever version of this Adagio. No other pianist has ever made it so good. Not even Kempff...
Daniel Barenboim
Gulda
He is excellent. But not come even close to Baremboim.
@@mr.marino9247 “not even close” is an overstatement. People have different tastes in playing styles and I prefer Yundi’s version. Still I’m not gonna go putting down Barenboim because there’s no need to. I feel that there’s a need to be right in today’s internet era, but no, you don’t always need to be right.
@@JoeARedHawk275 is that is an overtatesment, why Baremboim gives televised Masterclasses to this people?

I play it better. Horowitz is the best.
I love the way he played this movement. tenderness and calm. even if Beethoven himself may have played it more passionately, this version is also my taste.🤣
Could you suggest another interpretation that is closer to how Beethoven would have played? Thanks😀

Magic.
Absolutely love you Yundi! Thanks for bringing such a beautiful piece to us. I feel so lucky to be born in the same era as your existence.
No Barenboim, no Giles, no one can touch my heart with this piece as well as Yundi does. perfect interpretation, or at least, my favorite ever.
I think in the same way
I totally agree!
Totally agree!
Man, no matter how many times I listen to this it hits me every single time. So beautiful it almost makes me tear up every time.
I’m with ya brother. I’ll do you a solid and make a recommendation you might like, but perhaps have never heard - Zdenek Fibich, Poeme.

Beautiful.
This just blessed my ears
Yundi is my favorite pianist. Nothing ever can change it.
A beautiful piece made even more beautiful by this amazing performance
弹的太棒了👏👏👏无论他或者他们如何说你、骂你、赌咒你，将你拖进地狱，都完全无损于你的光辉！！！
Es ist der Neid und Hass, weil sie nicht annähernd nicht an diesen phantastischen Pianisten herankommen!

A beautiful rendition of the most beautiful piece of music ever written.
The piano is absolutely beautiful so is the performance❤
I really hope Yundi can have concerts in Canada soon!
I can’t properly put into words how beautiful this is.
What a fantastic rendition.
Music flows out of his spirit through his fingers. Yundi has a pure noble heart ❤
OMG, this is what I need to hear this song by him so softly.
Yundi, we need you back, where are you now😭😭
Volví... Esta es mi preferida.... Desde el último lugar del mundo ... escuchando tus interpretaciones...
heart touching...beautiful, simply magic.
Good job mr. Yundi!!!

so beautiful！

Beautiful rendition, thank you!
