ApplepieFTW Yeah it doesn’t but if you notice,professionals tend to have only one fine tuner on the E string,which *kinda serves as a display of their skill level.
Mind Twister Apparently it is believed that fine tuners on the tailpiece of a violin could cause buzzing and lessen your tone quality,even affecting sound projection(on steel strings),plus the E string is quite hard to tune with just pegs so......Leaving just one fine tuner on a violin is also a matter of tradition among pros and also *indicates that your violin is of high quality and uses strings made out of animal guts and connective tissue (strictly not always the case)
My thoughts exactly. He has more musicianship in his little finger than some adult violinists. His lyrical passages are exquisitely rendered. I can't wait to see what he will sound like in about 7 years.
Lest we all forget that this was written for the VIRTUOSO Sarasate... The composition alone is a tall order and yet we have an 11 year old playing it. props fersure
i feel like its a little bit disgracing for someone to put jascha heifetz as their username but i'll just play along with it. OMG JASCHA, YOU ARE THE GREATEST VIOLINIST OF ALL TIME.
now that he matures, we should all stop dwelling over the fact that he is still young... he is a full fledged musician and to be respected like everyone else in a similar manner
Normal People: this is cool I guess Non-Musicians: oH hE's pLaYiNg iT wRoNg Musicians: This dude be epic as an 11 year old- Weebs: *omg kaori-chan and kousei-chan shigatsu wa kimi no uso sugoiiiii* Ling Ling Wannabes: ah shit, here we go again
Christian Li and Chloe Chua are my favorite violinists of all time. I admire them more than any adult players I've ever encountered. They both represent the very best life has to offer. God bless their precious souls.
He's always incredible, maybe once in lifetime violinist. Even his posturing and body language is all incorporated into the music. Music and musician are one. Words are inadequate! Enjoy and be amazed. Thank you Christian and all those who contributed to your musical genius. You're a joy and a gift to the world.
Would he have surpassed his original teachers by now? Must be amazing to discover a small child with exceptional talent in your class. 6 years of violin playing and this good plus the musical emotional maturity. Enthralling.
At the age of 11, you've already stamped your own hallmark in classical music world. I can feel you living in your music. You're truly a professional violinist Christian Li! ❤️❤️
He shows extraordinary musicality complemented by excellent technique. One of the best young violinists in the world today. Musically inspiring and exciting to watch him develop even further. A humble and endearing personality who will exceed expectations.
I doesn't seem possible someone of that age could have access to such emotions, but there you have it. Wow!!! I must be hiding an old soul in the tiny frame!!!
When I was 11 yrs old, I was just playing Bach concerto in a minor. Christian is such a big role model for me! I am looking forward to watching more amazing videos such as this one. Thanks!
When I was that young I was only playing the first movement of Mozart's A major violin concerto in a robotic fashion. This kid is truly a child prodigy.
Of one thing I am certain, and it is this - he is the clear-cut reincarnation of one of the world's great great violinists who passed on a long time ago, and have returned to complete what they feel they did not get to achieve in their time. There is no other plausible explanation - this wonderful musician is a fully-blown mature violinist of international standing.
Dynamite performance! What a talent! The whole thing: facial expressions, music quality, body language--just everything. Completely delightful! Thank you all who contributed to this performance, including (of course) Camille Saint-Saens! Blessings!
Bravo Christian!! Your interpretation is truly amazing. I would think this is a mature violinist's playing if I listen without watching the video 💐💐 Keep going!!
This was breathtaking. I’m incredibly happy to call myself a violinist when people like you are too. I’m am very proud of the hard work you’ve put into this beautiful performance. You are truly talented, but more than that, you have an incredible work ethic, discipline and consistency. You’re amazing, and I can’t wait to hear more from you in the coming years. I admire you quite a lot. Keep it up!
Thank you for wonderful music! Am so happy to start the day with Camille Saint-Saens and you make it so much more magical for this 76-year-old woman from the Sonoran Desert of Southwest USA!
Yikes....the poise, emotion and sophistication of phrasing...how music WORKS is more deeply understood and communicated than I dare say MOST professionals. Almost alarming and so natural sounding. Can't wait to see what's next! A zillion bravos.
I quite love ur interpretation!! it felt so different and unique at the same time! Amazing! and i spotted the pianist flipping the pages on her own!! hahaha she's also amazing!
It takes excellent technique and profound musicality to make an artist. Christian already has an abundance of both. He is on the threshold of a wonderful career.
I'm not going to comment on his musical prowess, to my untrained ear it sounds sublime, in spite of his age, but what struck me was the obvious pure enjoyment he gets from playing and performing and his ability to more than adequately convey this to his audience. Hope to see a lot more from him in the future.
The modern age has produced many extraordinarily talented people in many fields of endeavour but does not diminish this young person or other’s achievements
Christian Li, eres un genio!!, cuanto talento tienes por Dios!. Y lo mejor es que te vas superando en cada interpretación cada vez más! Felicitaciones genio!!!...
I’ve just started to watch these vids of this young genius. This is one of my favourite pieces on the violin. He reminds me of another young violinist Oscar Han who also played this at a young age. Both are brilliant, I think Christian shows more expression, they both play perfectly, all the right notes. Oscar plays the better staccato, unless Christian meant to play this way but it did need more speed. I’m not forgetting he was only 11 when he played this. I can see this young musician going a long way.
*has four fine tuners on his violin yet plays like a master.Truly the greatest flex ever.
Your tailpiece won't change your skill, it turns out
ApplepieFTW Yeah it doesn’t but if you notice,professionals tend to have only one fine tuner on the E string,which *kinda serves as a display of their skill level.
Why does a fine tuner define how good of a player you are in the first place anyways, all cellists have fine tuners too

noapology88 LOL
This is 100% skill, talent, and PERFECTION
Have a beautiful day! All the best to you! From a Vietnamese Mandolinist ❤
Thanks grandpa Tchaikovsky
he miss some notes tho', but for his age, this performance is still amazing.
Nope, this is 100% practice and 100% perfection
Amen. Exquisite.
This is not a prodigy anymore , he is now an accomplished musician.
Stanley true af
Prodigy means a very exceptionally gifted young person.
jesinon true but a professional status is more appropriate , most prodigious musicians don’t have this level of interpretation.
@@stanley1596 It is not about being "prodigious" (huge or enormous) but about being a "prodigy" - early development. He is a prodigy for sure.
qrst2008 nice opinion
Remarkable performance, at any age. At 11 years old, it is extraordinary. He has a maturity in his playing that is beyond his years.
Waaaayy beyond
My thoughts exactly. He has more musicianship in his little finger than some adult violinists. His lyrical passages are exquisitely rendered. I can't wait to see what he will sound like in about 7 years.
that is true. He is a pro, and is still a boy. Fantastic!
Gosh fellas reincarnation hasn’t occurred to you yet?
yep! the emotional charge in your music is of unexpected maturity!
he attac, he protecc, but most importantly- he plays impecc able
I will quote Twoset: "You can't hear he's 11."
My dear, you're on your way to stardom! I wish I could watch you live some day.
As said, although lingling is only 11, he still practice da 40 hrs a day
sammiechuu I’ve seen him live in Cheltenham, UK and met him on a train back to London. He’s pretty awesome!
If I watched him live, I'd go home and bathe in low self esteem and cry myself to sleep.
@@nanzhao8986 According to the BBC News article a couple of months ago he practices 4 hours a day.
@@Gillie2tat so it must be 4 hours of perfection and the efficiency of that 4 hours is literally 400%
Lest we all forget that this was written for the VIRTUOSO Sarasate... The composition alone is a tall order and yet we have an 11 year old playing it. props fersure
I wish they were still alive today to see children playing these pieces.
Nice information for me thx
This dude is the future genius of violin. He rocks everything .
No es futuro ya es un genio de los mejores del mundo
twoset has to react to grown up christian li
what 'grown up' do you mean?
he is already a MAN
Aka this video
They did didn’t they? The reacted to the menuhin competition.
Ok, having technique is one thing, but this kid is having an interpretation!
How to destroy your self-esteem in 10 minutes
So trueee
or less 😅
But my self-esteemed got destroyed within the first 10 bars-
鞥恩:鞥?鞥????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????鞥???????????????????????鞥鞥鞥鞥鞥欸鞥?鞥?????ㄥㄥㄥㄥㄥㄥㄥㄥㄥㄥ鞥鞥鞥???????欸鞥????:鞥????????????欸鞥??鞥鞥??????欸?欸鞥????鞥鞥鞥鞥鞥鞥鞥鞥鞥鞥鞥?鞥?????????鞥???
I lost my self esteem even when he was still tuning
Imagine how he would play in his 40s if he plays like this at 11 . He will definitely one the most remarkable violinist of the 21st century
when i listen to this piece, i remember the “inside the mind of ray” for this piece! super performance! both christian li, and ray chen! ♥️
me too
Tommy Talker he does, kinda..!
i feel like its a little bit disgracing for someone to put jascha heifetz as their username but i'll just play along with it. OMG JASCHA, YOU ARE THE GREATEST VIOLINIST OF ALL TIME.
Heidrun Schwartz oh no, not another set of those eyebrows!😳
Heidrun Schwartz yes! It’s as though the violinist can’t be separated from the emotions of the music!❤️
9:00 the stepping sound proves he's into the music
You can really tell how he is one with his instrument and the piece.
3:11
"LOOK I DID THAT PERFECTLY. I BET Y'ALL ARE JEALOUS"
Haha 😂 😂 😂 😂 gosh
He reminds me of ray Chan and his expressions!!! ❤💓🔥😍😍😅😂😂😂
👍🤣
This is a Master interpretation. The softness of the bow attack is perfect... truly gifted. Thank you.
now that he matures, we should all stop dwelling over the fact that he is still young... he is a full fledged musician and to be respected like everyone else in a similar manner

You said the termes. / Vous avez "dit les termes" !
Christian Li and Chloe Chua are my favorite violinists of all time. I admire them more than any adult players I've ever encountered. They both represent the very best life has to offer. God bless their precious souls.
The kind of absolute awe inspired by this young man's talent is an example of what helps mitigate the utter nonsense around us, around this planet.
An astounding maturity combined with a deep sensitivity !
No matter how many times listen you will be impressed👏👏👏
He's always incredible, maybe once in lifetime violinist. Even his posturing and body language is all incorporated into the music. Music and musician are one. Words are inadequate! Enjoy and be amazed. Thank you Christian and all those who contributed to your musical genius. You're a joy and a gift to the world.
I clapped at the end of this video by myself at home like an idiot because he was that good
I do the same each time too I watch his videos
You're NOT an idiot. I clapped, too.
I love you Ling Ling!!!
He must have practice 72 hrs every day
Christian Ling Ling!
Agapi Mou
Hilary Hahn? Or is it Hillary Han? I don’t know
Wow. His sound is absolutely incredible, for any age. The use of his bow, his control over his vibrato, everything is just stunning. Bravo !
آفرین صد آفرین، شما تار احساسات من را عالی زدید! و برای لحظاتی گریانم کردی با هنر زیبایت، دستت مریزاد، سلامت و پیروز و موفق باشی.

There are some insanely brilliant young violinists around, more or less of Christian's age. But he is definitely one of the very best, no question.
I doesn't seem possible someone of that age could have access to such emotions, but there you have it. Wow!!! I must be hiding an old soul in the tiny frame!!!
Indeed he must be!
He's so confident! Not so many people can play the way he does! Amazing performance!!
When I was 11 yrs old, I was just playing Bach concerto in a minor. Christian is such a big role model for me! I am looking forward to watching more amazing videos such as this one. Thanks!
@AєṡṭһєṭıċGȏṭһKıṭṭy Thank you so much!
When I was 11 years old i was eating sand
When I was that young I was only playing the first movement of Mozart's A major violin concerto in a robotic fashion. This kid is truly a child prodigy.
When I was eleven years old I was still begging my parents to let me play cello
I like how he checked his intonation with a soft pizzicato before the next part at 7:54. Let’s be honest, all violinists can relate to that.
Christian was born with a violin in hand. Can't stop listening him. Wishing you dear a lot of success! I know it will be!❤️
That has to be the best accompanist I have ever seen in my life.
Неймовірно талановита дитина. Браво!!!

i love how he interpret and play with emotion, I wonder how can he let out such a motion being an 11 years old
he sways with so much with emotion at 5:11
My brother was next to me when I watched it, and he said:
He is smol.
Smol violin boi.
I couldn't help but laugh
Young Mr. Li Love the foot stomp! You’re a ROCK STAR!
Gonna have to live a few more lifetimes to reach this level of playing... coming from a child, who could be my grandson 😯😁 wow!
Neomi Nemeth Violin umm grandson? May I ask how old you are?
@@overwhelmingnostalgia1475 Old enough to have a grandson lol I don't have one, but theoretically I could 😁
@@NeomiNemeth I hope you find somebody I guess.
@@overwhelmingnostalgia1475 lololol
the face after he plays the harmonic at 3:10 is the face of knowing he is nearing ling ling skill
how could he be so unbelievably mature and outstanding? I also love his body language which makes his performance even more intriguing.
An incredible talent and a perfect temperament to become famous in this wonderful field of instrumental soloing. Congratulations Christian Li
Dynamite performance! What a talent! The whole thing: facial expressions, music quality, body language--just everything. Completely delightful! Thank you all who contributed to this performance, including (of course) Camille Saint-Saens! Blessings!
this is indeed the best cover of this piece on UA-cam
My goodness, what a musician. We are blessed.
Truely a gift from God to humanity.
3:05 the sheer amount of time he practiced before he could do this so perfectly is more then I have ever practiced in my life
I’m in the process of learning the piece and I can confidently say that I have spent over 9 hours trying to nail that one harmonic LMAO
Невероятный исполнитель и талантливейший актёр!!! Я в полном восторге!
HE HAS FOUR FINE TUNERS I-
this kid is flexing so hard i can't
And he is still on a 3/4 violin here!❤
Bravo Christian!! Your interpretation is truly amazing. I would think this is a mature violinist's playing if I listen without watching the video 💐💐 Keep going!!
He is an incredible music phenomenon with mature and implacable musicality. I am stunned. Oh My God.

nooooooooooooo wayyyyyyyy...... this is amazing! This is played so beautifully and the way he expresses it is phenomenal!
看过好多拉得特别好的少年少女，但大多是技术好，也有感情投入，但李映衡是真的有天赋，他对音乐的领悟是天才型的
Jesus Christ son! You killed it! Bravo!
This is a very difficult piece especially for an eleven year old boy, bravissimo...
CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW HE CASUALLY JUST PLUCKED OFF HIS BOW HAIR AT 6:25 T^T
i often do that bc it’s annoying when its in the way when your playing XDD
Hahaha 😂
T^T
It takes excellent technique and profound musicality to make an artist. Christian already has an abundance of both. He is on the threshold of a wonderful career.
Natural musicality and complimented by wonderful technique.
Never heard anything more beautiful! What a musician. My whole family will come to your first Perth concert!

Wow words can’t describe the emotions felt out of this .from now on I am a fan and hope to be able to see him grow up and become the best😊
Amazingly talented. So good to see so many young talents for the next generation! .
a genius.. born with this talent..
a born genius with so much passion & expertise ,charisma......etc.
the best musician i've heard
I feel like a proud parent watching him improve and develop and take on hard pieces flawlessly. EVen though I don't even play the violin :')
I see him play and wonder how he has so much maturity at such a young age. He played so amazingly
1000000 mal gehört und immer Gänsehaut. Unglaublich schön. Perfekt
Always so impressive hearing you play. I can't wait to one day go to one of your recitals!! Bravo, Christian!
Impresionante. Como interpreta este niño es de otro planeta🌸🎶
Everything is so clear and he matches the energy of the music it’s amazing 🤯
awesome playing! great interpretation! love your playing!!!!! ♥️♥️
