YUNDI - Chopin Prelude no.15 ‘Raindrop’, op.28

[@annettemajgaard7065]

My nephew played it at my mothers funeral. I was amazed, that he could control his emotions the way he did. The sun shined through the windows as if she was thankful too! So magical!

[@MrTruth111]

wow

[@yanzhengzhang3919]

Beautiful!

[@liontung7395]

🥺

[@joohimks]

Chopin is never good without genuine emotions. I am 100% confident that he expressed what he felt that moment; as a result it was perfect.

[@jojowisa1270]

Rolls eyes

[@wagnerpolveiro7176]

One of the most beautiful preludes composed by Chopin..., land the interpretation of Yundi is just amazing. I love the way he plays!

[@mikesemple1439]

I think the interpretation doesn't get the feel that chopin wanted to be played - Yundi makes it less interesting.

[@aarontewelde3577]

I'm just sitting in a library and watching the raindrops through the basement window while listening to this. So magical!

[@aarontewelde3577]

+Gui Roul That's my favorite part!

[@aarontewelde3577]

Gui Roul Chopin is a master of emotional depth

[@diahan9896]

it is raindrops

[@クロノシル]

Chopin's music can often be so sweet and warm, but also very dark, menacing, and intense all in the same piece. It's wonderful how he fuses the emotions together into a single, very colorful arrangement!

[@agamaz5650]

japanese composers do that to this day btw

[@pooindaloo6049]

Videos like this are the reason why the internet is awesome.

[@eddiebeato5546]

Yundi's pianism is so polished that little it suffers any setbacks with tempo. One of the finest performances. Congratulations!!!

[@idvarhurd]

playing Chopin needs having Polished skilled (sorry for bad pun)

[@AnhLe-uc3nz]

He has a sophisticated touch. I love how he manages to control the emotions and dynamics of every songs he played, with that the songs meanings were conducted clearer than ever

[@nolabrah]

I lost my father a few weeks ago so I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety and grief. Listening to Yundi play this exquisite piece of music from Chopin has been so therapeutic for me. Beautiful work. Thank you. 💙

[@MattH-wg7ou]

This interpretation is so good. One of my favorite songs of all time, the way it goes through the sweetness of the intro, to the fear, anger, and darkness, into desperation, then madness, then relief and back into the sweetness of the intro. All conveyed so perfectly.

[@wumbosaurus9121]

I love how varied this can be played according to the pianist. Whether they choose to play fast or slow, or more dynamically, or striking harder in the dramatic sections

[@CGLuan-go4di]

李雲迪，加油！ 堅強不屈！ 永遠支持你！

[@恕-m6h]

听云迪弹琴是最美的享受！谢谢🙏云迪！

[@natey4566]

You can see the way he feels the music while playing it. Like an emotional attachment.

[@joeybee2675]

the heartwarming and well balanced sound of yundi is amazing, never too loud, never too fast or aggressive.true talent of century.

[@CrazyMonster37]

I love this video, the atmosphere, the lighting, the scenery from outside and everything seems to fall into the right place together. I love the way that he’s not exaggerating the performance or body movements but still you can feel the strong emotions he has. Personally for me this is the best interpretation

[@Man-vs-Metal]

It's probably not the best performance but there will always be a special place for the Eternal Sonata version with backstory to me.

[@alicewu2808]

Absolutely beautiful. I love to hear different artists interpret the piece and add their own nuances. This is lovely.

[@中意香港]

Thank you Yundi for your beautiful performance.

I went from trap to this!! and I never been more happier, amazing the range of emotions that came experienced. I mean from 2:30 to 3:10 was just....goosebumps. I just signed up for piano classes, how a piece of music can change someone's life. Amazing....excuse the grammar.

[@Kilaminjaro47]

CONGRATS YOU NOW EXPERIENCING WHAT MOST IGNORE IN OUR MODERN WORLD

[@SH4D02]

underrated comment

[@g0dm4st3r]

There is nothing wrong with liking Trap. Classical music has been a part of my life for a few years now and I will never stop listening to it. But I also really like any kind of electronic music. Just because you listen to one kind of music doesn't necessarily determine what kind of person you are (although sometimes it does lol). If you are looking for more of Chopin, I would recommend Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 performed by Krystian Zimerman (my personal favorite pianist for this piece).

[@fraa7548]

Armani Webb me too hahahahahah. Chopin is life, but night lovell too

[@smikkelbeer6352]

Zimerman is the best pianist for all ballades.

[@rooron3152]

I come back every day to listen to this perfect interpretation of the raindrop prelude

[@yeelinghayden3455]

We love you and your music Yundi

[@Lavovoyaye]

Gorgeous interpretation - he has the ability to somehow allow the music to speak for itself.

[@randyedward1]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Yundi, for not dragging this beautiful piece. Your forward motion, esp. on the C#minor/E maj. section, really breathes life into this potentially "overly-ominous" prelude!

[@samtrotter9654]

Of all the veraions I've listened to, this one resonates with me. The one that best represents my expected emotions and visualisations about the complexity and waves of rain washing over my location and the calmness that it brings in it's chaos. Thank you.

[@dani-w8s5u]

I've been obsessed with this piece for years! I love this performance. Wow.

[@sammybulin]

Bravo! Great emotion! Masterful.

Amazing. It sounds like the breeze drizzles interweave with heart beats. Chopin's music & his cardiac beats go on. An immortal beating.

[@aneeyasafeera7514]

and rain just come after this playing...good job yundi li...I love you playing this piece n too other piece of music

[@victrola2007]

I can not decide who has my heart more - Chopin or Yundi. I feel like George Sand completely immersed in the experience, only wishing that I could lay on the floor beneath the Grand and feel each note resonate around me, as GS likely did ! I'm (especially lately) reminded of the high price of success, a "genius' trap" dilemma leads - public, fans and even politicians taking and taking from the artist, using him for a national treasure clout or to make an example of a human being with little privacy, just trying to meet his basic needs no differently than others in a tricky social vacuum. This man is not some national property [unlike it's been drilled into his head as with so many others]. This talent belongs to the world. May he never forget that his music and support hasn't wavered one bit.

The best version I've ever heard! Some versions are terribly strong or too slightly. This one is perfect!

[@logojimmy]

Ashkenazy's is well-balanced too

[@everydayhero3610]

Nikolai Lugansky's version is the best imo

[@Hi-vi6hk]

[@JoeCamp-mf1ug]

It’s a tad bit too fast. Just needs to be a tiny bit slower. Otherwise perfect!

[@clariceho1430]

so beautiful！

[@alienrs5655]

Chopin brings out all kinds of feelings and raw emotions that resides within me that otherwise would pass me by undetected, untouched. Regret, longing, sadness, pity, jealousy and above all joy. Isnt it all what makes us ALIVE ? oh Chopin if only theres heaven I'd do anything to meet yoy in person. Yundi as always played it beautifully!

[@Libercapitum]

Am I the only kid almost crying by this? I love this man's music. It's practically magical the way I see it. What a perfect time to read and listen to this. It's an amazing piece and I think I'm the only kid in the world (who is raised by a rock music loving dad) that wants this guys performing at my birthday.

[@damianreyes52]

Your not the only one ;) Glad I'm not the only one too xD

+Max Ballard I'm not the idiot. I'm not being arrogant. I'm just saying I love this music. Where is the arrogance in that?

[@anthracks1396]

+Terminator is the best! Wow. He is left just speechless. Hahaha 😂😂

[@turquoisespringwolf7923]

I was thinking of not saying anything cuz of how rude Max Ballard was, but I have to admit, I got mad. I was saying the same thing, then a person comes up and says,”Hey, ur a idiot and have a nice day too! Ur so arrogant in fact I may just have to swear too! Watch out! Strawberry jam coming ur way!!! Oops, totally didn’t mean that!” Like, which stupid man just said that?! Oh wait, yea, it’s Max Ballard!!!! Don’t worry dude, I got ur back! Don’t mind the wet diaper part of my user... that’s my kiddy instincts!! :p

[@paolashiadanimartinezgarci5125]

where was it?

[@jasperlaw4110]

One of another master piece by Yundi!

[@Shugaa612]

Chopin wrote this piece in Majorca where he fled with his lover George sand & her two children- having fled the dampness of Paris only to end up in what was a wet Majorca- Chopin is said to have composed the piece there where the note repeated throughout the work represents the raindrops, hence the nickname. His tuberculosis worsened as a result, and was banished to a cold monastery in valldemossa. I play this piece, and every time I do- the hairs on the back of my neck stand & shivers down my spine not only from its deep emotion and pain that Chopin so often conveys in his pieces.. but I feel the cold and dampness of it all.. Chopin is unique, by far the most emotional & sentimental of them all ( pianists) with each piece he wrote he had a story to tell..

[@fbfgca]

The articulations are nearly perfect, this piece of music is for have it in DSD or the best high resolution audio format, because Yundi follows exactly the dynamics as Chopin wrote in the partiture.

[@aw954]
