Yundi Li - 14th International Chopin Competition (2000)

      

     

      

This is an 18 year old Yundi Li's performance at the 14th International Chopin Competition in 2000.

Uncut, plays straight through two days worth of amazing performances.

====================

2:06 - Scherzo No. 2 Op. 31, in B-flat minor
11:56 - Andante Spianato preceding the..
16:28 - Grande Polonaise Brillante in E-flat major, Op. 22

25:17 - (applause)

Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11
28:47 - I: Allegro maestoso
49:15 - II: Romance, Larghetto
59:07 - III: Rondo, Vivace

1:08:41 (closing applause)
====================
I'm not sure which round this was, or if it was just him after he had already won, but either way these performances are flawless and amazing. Yundi Li is in my top 5 pianists of all time.
