Wow! I'm speechless. The best (and most enjoyable!) version I've ever seen or heard of this piece in my 46 years of violin playing. He's not just a technical wonder. There is great elan and style to his playing that immeasurably surpasses his age. This was mature wizardry of the highest order. I just hope he will enjoy his childhood and grow up to be a happy, kind, loving, and well-adjusted person and not end up as just another burned-out prodigy who hates his parents.

[@amanullah1707]

What a wonderful and insightful comment!

[@jasond6890]

Well the old Chinese professor who used to teach him once said, he was the one violin kid he'd ever seen who enjoyed playing the violin the most. And he voluntarily switched from playing piano to playing the violin... So I'd guess Christian Li is happy with the way he practice?

[@Clanshort]

Yes there is a very old spirit in a young body.

[@Gillie2tat]

@yafargo Children who are musical like this live for the music and nothing else. It will be interesting to watch him develop.

[@gopractice96]

@yafargo don't say that about a kid. smoking? really? if you watch his interviews and listen to his playing it's evident he is very passionate about violin and performing. he has a joy for playing and does other activites that 'normal kids' do. while there are many prodigies that are forced into it by parents i don't think you can assume the same about everyone. just by listening, i highly doubt you can create such a compelling and musical performance if it's your parents forcing you to practice. it's true violin should not be all he is doing, since the stress from having to play for several concerts/competitions is very real, but that does not mean that all prodigies are kids who hate their parents and have problems in their lives. don't be so negative, you can express concern without hating on the child.

I love how Christian Li plays the violin. The sound is just like so smooth, and I bet millions of people outside the world love his style of playing the strings. The accuracy is like so awesome, and how the bow bounces of the string. He is also doing pizzicato with his left hand! So awesome. Continue to surpass people outside this world. !!!

Although I've enjoyed classical music for 50 years, I feel that I've never really heard the violin until now. The beauty and majesty of the violin has at last been revealed to me. Thank you, Christian, for introducing me to the wonders of this instrument. You are a phenomenal artist.
