As a Chinese pianist, Li Yundi is most well known for being the youngest pianist to win the International Frédéric Chopin Piano Competition, in 2000, at the age of 18.
God, this piece is so ridiculously beautiful. I feel like 'beautiful' doesn't even quite describe how I feel about this piece. I can't find the words to describe it, but it's one of my favorite pieces by Chopin, and Chopin is one of my favorite composers. It's played so exquisitely here! It's a piece I would love to play myself sometime.
I totally agree! The way he played it was so beautiful, especially the ending with how delicately he did play all of the cadenzas and how he made it sound so fluid. Chopin was a genius when it came to composing for piano.
You hear these sounds, they sound like pearls glistening in the sun. At first they are shy and gentle, and then like a powerful thunder that suddenly goes out. It's Chopin's music, you hear the silence that Chopin plays ... it's a genius ...
I do not know any music that shakes my soul like Chopin's music does. I play a few pieces ( the "easy" ones ) by Chopin, and regret that I did not keep studying the piano when I was younger, as now for me it will be impossible to play difficult pieces, like the Polonnaises, I LOVE THEM....
@@annacanilli1877If that saddens you, don’t be so certain of what tomorrow will bring! Life is but a roulette. Sometimes you get this, sometimes you get that. The secret is to be present in the moment, enjoying whatever work your hands find to do. If both hands labour, much grief comes. You lose the joy of inner satisfaction from your own hard work. The secret is to work with one hand whatever you are doing now, and with the other open-palms, receiving and adapting to the seasons above you. You can always be one day older and wiser than the day before. You never lose the satisfaction of appreciating something if you truly love it. You still have that. Who knows? One day you might find yourself playing literally again. We just never know what tomorrow will bring. Wherever you are in life, I highly recommend the Book of Ecclesiastes to sober you up.
Amon Goth, the SS officer in charge of Plaszow concentration camp (Ralph Fiennes in Schindlers list) let two Jewish sisters live because one of them played this perfectly for him on his birthday. Beautiful music to a chilling fact.
Kinda the same with what happened to the Polish pianist in the movie The Pianist. I guess being a pianist during WW2 surely had it's perks, especially if you're a Jew.
I like your trills, they sound natural and attractive like continuation of the melody which is difficult to do. Most pianists cannot do it, even famous ones. So bravo, Yundi Li. Your performance is simple and beautiful like I would emagine Chopin would play.
I love this piece, it is just really beautiful and sublime (Is sublime even the right word?). I just feel the grief and sadness about Chopin. This is also my favourite Chopin piece. Also, the runs at the very end are just continuous. Li Yundi did a beautiful job of interpreting this Nocturne.
Beautiful rendition of this piece. Some people might think that there are some notes missing in Yundi Li's playing, because the sheet music edition Yundi Li uses is not what is displayed in the video. He probably used the Koneman Urtext edition.
here reminiscing my grade 7 B piece. the ending scales were a pain to play, but this piece was so goddamn beautiful all those hours of practice was worth it.
It is so interesting when the scores are provided as visuals. I like lots of things about this. For one thing he makes the most beautiful sound and the range of colours is exquisite. But somehow, looking at the notes, I'm thinking that there are dynamics which are being ignored. All artists have to make decisions when interpreting a piece but for me what really makes this music "sing" is when the surface gets ruffled. Although these pieces were mostly performed by the composer in salons, they could never be described as salon music and what stops them from drifting towards this are the sometimes strange dynamics. The have to be embraced and absorbed properly so that they enhance rather than detract from the overall effect.
Ok, BUT it is a nocturne... so I completely get going toning down the dynamics slightly and not going all out like one would on a Mazurka or other dances like that
the slower versions always hit harder. more emotion in them! this guy was in a hurry and I don't understand why its a beautiful song when played slowly@@abcd-yg2rx
@@FelineRock It's probably the easiest nocturne but in general I would avoid trying to learn the nocturnes until you have at least grade 7+ on piano. Although at the end of the day if you enjoy playing it, why not give it a go.

Sometimes I just like to read the comments and listen to the piece. It’s amazing listening to it through everyone interpretations
Same here exactly what I’m doing en 😊😂
It's so wonderful you posted the music to follow along with! Thank you!!
I think chopin wrote this as practice for his piano concerto no. 2 . If you haven't heard I highly recommend that you do.
One of the best pieces ever
Chopin Etudes nice insight, thank you
If I’m not mistaken this was a piece written for his sister
That's exactly what I was thinking! Some of the themes are exactly identical.
Jesus Carbonell It was.
yundi li more like yundi lit
no
Beautifully translated. Thank you for not rushing it...
Amo este "Noturno", quando ouço e toco, tenho uma sensação imensa de paz.
What a beautiful piece!!
I love playing this beautiful piece
Extraordinary.
Great piece and great performance!!
I like your trills, they sound natural and attractive like continuation of the melody which is difficult to do. Most pianists cannot do it, even famous ones. So bravo, Yundi Li. Your performance is simple and beautiful like I would emagine Chopin would play.
my best of all the nocturnes
For me it is ONE OF the best nocturnes, individual jewels each with their own unique shine.
No. See the c minors and e minor.
Op. 48 No. 1
Since I’ve played this,my two cats have gone to sleep and are actually snoring their heads off,they love this.x
This magnificent performance is the humanity's lullaby
In my opinion.. Yundi Li is so good at playing chopin's nocturne series..
Mr Lee, your interpretation is the best.
Спасибо! Буду слушать бесконечно!!!
This is the best version of this piece.

Have y'all ever noticed how often this one is used in movies?
^..^~~
Just Beautiful!
Beautiful.
Esse noturno é maravilhoso
I'd love to fall asleep in this beautiful piece of music. Love the way he plays.
Perfect!
Dziękuję za piękną wykonanie...

very beautiful composition
Love this piece! Wonderfully performed :) 👍

wow! what a beautiful rendition!
The best sentimental touching!
This Nocturne has been gloriously performed by the best pianists in the world. I find that this version by Yundi Li is the best.
Non rispetta proprio lo spartito però..
Try Władysław Szpilman's version. Played in year 1997. At his home. At his 86 years old.
Beautiful
The tuning really fits well. C sharp minor is the same keys of moonlight sonata, which is similar to night
Beautifuly played!
So beautiful
Grazie lazza per avermi fatto conoscere questo pezzo bellissimo
The best of all😍
I always think of Adrien Brody in The Pianist when I hear this.
Przepiękne! Brawo!
lovely
I love this so much...
雲迪，你彈得好美啊！👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
WOW nunca creí encontrarme con esta canción, sólo lo vi y cuando la escuche....ME RECORDÓ RAPIDAMENTE A LA PELICULA DE "EL PIANISTA" WOW
BELLISIMA MELODIA!¡AMO A CHOPIN!.
Played this in a concerto last year , was magnificent , because of its slow rythm you are able to play it with so much emotions ..
I don’t think u played It in a concerto.
As if it’s true.
David Abou Karam did you mean concert? lol
rhythm* cant be slow, tempo can :)
yeah... there's many thing wrong with his sentence 0.o probably because english isn't his first language though
@@lynnseanyoung Exactly
Chopin's music is from the nature .. is the best
Lindo demais!
najpiękniejsze nokturny skomponował tylko Fryderyk Chopin...geniusz...dumny jestem, że był tej samej narodowości co ja...Polak
Merci. 👍👏
Thanx for sharing.
とても素敵な演奏ですね。
Bravo! Best interpretation of this piece I know, very powerful and very moving!!!!
С удовольствиеи слушаю эту замечательную музыку
I have just noticed that Enrique Granados took some of the chord progressions from that piece for one of his eight poetic waltzes.
beautifully played
Piękna muzyka. Uczta dla duszy i zmysłów. Dziękuję.

Очень красиво!!!
Wooow Wonderful!!
Excellent performance
So sad and so beatifull.
Chapeau 👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐
This is by far the best version on the internet I think.
true! the cleanest for sure, i just wish it were slower
try the performance of Wladyslaw Szpilman is with more emotion i think
Listen Arrau.
@@eddiepacheco212 I also heard many versions of this song , some of them very slow and others faster
the slower versions always hit harder. more emotion in them! this guy was in a hurry and I don't understand why its a beautiful song when played slowly@@abcd-yg2rx
I'm playing this song and yes, it is so beautiful! Even though I'm the person playing it I find it amazing.
How difficult is this song? Im thinking of learning it.

For me of the only 3 nocturnes I play, this is the easiest, but also the most beautiful, Chopin ALL A MAGIC
Очень волнительно со слезами на глзах
molto bravo complimenti... :)
I play this piece an I love it
My ex used to play this for me. It was nice.

Should not have broken up with him/her.

Used to so she's back with you again?
1:23 - 1:27 Recognize this phrase? Chopin used it in one of his piano concertos. Can you guess which one?
the best version by far of any pianist. absolutely wonderful.
I have to completely disagree with you
THAT'S AN OPINION!!!!
@@nimrodshefer3649 who do you think made the best version?
@@Mudschahid either Valentina lisitsa or Paul Barton
❤️
GOOD AND KIND
Yundi is best !
Wow! My piece!!! That is my easyist noctune that I composed.
No, your easiest is Op. 15 No. 3. You don't seem to know your pieces.
You didn’t named it nocturne
The greatest ❤
Beautiful playing!
Just got assigned this !
❤❤
Bravo
3:03 this part is so hard :/
No worries. If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly😂
There's something divine in this piece by Chopin. It comes from God, for sure.
no, it comes from Chopin
Шедевр
All of entirety might be like a singular song.
Super
❤❤❤❤
Suonato in modo SUBLIME!
Whenever im sad or feel lonely i listen to Chopin then i am more sad and lonely....
너무 아름답네요 이윤디씨가 한국사람인데 한글 댓글이 없네요
0:32 he performs different with his left hand at 7~8th bars (f# instead of d#)
Some people prefer f# as they think d# was a mistake, but I actually like d# more, it gives a little bit more depth.
Noice very noice piece
Is this piece suitable for a beginner? I really would like to try it... I love it.
Made any progress yet?!
Why couldn't I have Chopin's composing skills to use for my A level Music?
Understand three things: You must practice a lot. There are no rules in music. You will never be Chopin, so develop your own unique sound.
Then you will be "as good as chopin." :-)
Exynos 7 well sayed 😁😁😁
Can i use it for my video background music
