Yundi

Yundi (formerly known as Yundi Li) was propelled into the international music world in 2000 when he won the Gold Medal and First Prize at the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw.  At 18 years of age, he was not only the youngest and first Chinese winner in the history of the prestigious competition, but also the first pianist to be awarded the First Prize for 15 years.  Since then, he has been regarded as a leading interpreter of Chopin's music. Critically acclaimed for his technical precision and boundless enthusiasm, Yundi has collaborated with such prestigious ensembles as the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics, the Mariinsky Orchestra, the London Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Toronto Symphony and San Francisco Symphony Orchestras.  In his regular recital tours, he has performed at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Zurich Tonhalle, London's Royal Festival Hall, New York's Carnegie Hall, the Salle Pleyel in Paris, Tokyo's Suntory Hall and at the Verbier Festival. Yundi has released eight CDs and DVDs worldwide.  In 2007, he became the first Chinese pianist to record live with the Berlin Philharmonic and Seiji Ozawa.  The disc of Prokofiev's Second Piano Concerto and Ravel's G major Concerto met with rave reviews and was named Editor's Choice by Gramophone Magazine.
