Christian Li - Bruch: Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor

[@paperbird7792]

Christian oh Christian you are growing up fast... your skills are growing even faster...

[@ILikeBirds]

[@aasserelzoghby6781]

Well He is a prodigy

[@jpbaugh]

A lot of talented young musicians are very mechanical and almost robotic in the way that they play, trying to achieve technical accuracy. But I have to say that of all the young violinists I've heard play, Christian Li not only has amazing technical precision, but incredible emotion while playing.

[@delitaly]

이 아이가 브루흐를 얼마나 이해할까.. 감정이 좋다는건 브루흐를 전부 안다는건 아니지.. 아직은 자기 겉멋에 취해 연주하는 감정기계 일 수도.. 연주자라는 직업은 무르익어야해

[@jpbaugh]

@@delitaly I think he understands Bruch better than many adult musicians. He's a teenager, not a young child. He definitely has more to learn, but so does everyone.

Christian, it has been a while since we saw you last.... I am a linguist, a word-smith in other words, yet I cannot find words to express to you my thanks and admiration for the best performance of the Bruch I have ever heard. You have been marked out in this world as someone very special. Thank you again.... you were going to learn the Tchaikovsky concerto... how is this going? best wishes from the UK.

[@iriswong9094]

I love to see Christian truly enjoys the music, even when the orchestra is playing. Unlike some experienced “professionals”, look like they are bored and just waited for his/her turn to play. I hope Christian will keep it this way forever.

[@lorie7125]

Every time I listen to him I am amazed. His sort of music self is so matured that it's hard to believe this a child playing the violin. It's as if his whole self springs into music, with every note and with every sound...with every movement. So talented, always surprises me with his matured like a grown up person smooth and effortless performance.

[@susannestechow1009]

I`m practizing the first movement of the Bruch concerto at the moment, and it is no matter for me that Christian plays the concerto better than me. I have not so much time for practizing because of my job and familiar duties. But I can learn from him, and that is no matter that he is only 12 years old.

[@softlytone1149]

Corpus Medicorum is a Melbourne-based orchestra made up of doctors, medical students and health professionals. They aren't full-time musicians and aren't perfect as some expected them to be. But I'm sure they did their best and felt honored to have Christian as the soloist at the concert.

It's not just his character. His maturity comes over so well. They respect his musicality. I don't think there is much more he can add to that. He'll just grow bigger and have a louder violin.

[@martinthoburn1089]

What a huge pice to take on. This is one of my favourite violin concerto’s. As has been mentioned the recording is not the best but you can hear moments of genius in Christians playing. Once again he brings his interpretation to the piece. Christian is now entering the “big league “ of violin playing, so is not just playing with piano accompaniment. There were a couple of times he was out of time with the rest of the orchestra, this is a skill I’m sure Christian will perfect quickly. It may have been just nerves but the minor lapses did not overshadow Christians, once again phenomenal playing. His playing is truly outstanding and I see him put so much feeling into his playing. He also plays with a huge amount of maturity and empathy for the piece. Well done Christian a great performance.

[@nickyork8901]

The conductor was not always following him, in my view, particularly in the slow movement where he (Christian) clearly wanted to move it on - it does not have to be played that slowly to be effective and the orchestra was tending to wallow in the music.

[@nopkchen]

Thank you so much, Christian, for such divine and beautiful music you perform for us. I am a music teacher and a music lover from Bangkok, Thailand, and I will continue to follow you and your performance with great admiration.

[@jgbusquets]

12 year old only... and playing like the angels... these asian prodigies are getting younger and younger!

[@susannestechow1009]

They are not only very gifted, but also start to play their instruments at a very young age, with 2 or 3 or even youger, together with the learning of their languages and with the learning of the letters. In Asian languages are very complicated scriptures with very much letters and therefore have children to start probably very early to read and write them. Be I right with my impression? Write my in English at KZbin.

[@NeomiNemeth]

Unbelievable performance yet again from someone who could be my grandchild...bravo Christian! 👏👏👏 However, my only complaint is that the orchestra overpowered the soloist big time. He should've been amplified. I also would've liked to see some close-ups on Christian during the performance, instead of having the entire orchestra in the frame the whole time.

[@stewartsiu1960]

I think the problem is the not that the orchestra is too loud, but that the recording is clipping (bascially the sound signal is amplified to a level higher than the max for the recording device at some point) thus creating huge distortion when the orchestra is playing.

[@eternalfearless4532]

Agreed. Bad camera work.

[@TheSimics]

Bravo Christian! I have heard you the first time playing at the Menuhin Competition 2018 and I was stunned with the sound you can produce from your violin.

@@sandrafeldman1814 yup, you're right. The audio recording could have been calibrated/optimised more.

The audio is fine. The artist's emotion and empathy for music is clearly audible and that is what matters most in musical interpretation.

[@Rwthless1]

@@aasserelzoghby6781 Yes. I have short arms so I started with my current group with my 3/4 violin. They persuaded me to play a full sized one, and it's much better. He will be amazing when he grows into a large Amati. He'd be wasted on a Strad. The audio could have toned down the orchestra, especially the French Horn.
