This is not a prodigy anymore. This is a marvelous accomplished musician.

Christian's harmonic awareness is truly outstanding. Through that, he shaped the music perfectly whilst creating such a warm and beautiful tone. This recording has deeply touched me. Thank you!

As soon as I hear the first note, I cannot stop listening. I do not pause the video and must watch until the end. I'm mesmerized by the beauty of the sound he creates. I've never heard the violin played more beautifully. This applies to every video of his that I've seen.

it is christmas soon. do you allready have his two albums. i can only say: they are a priviledge to listen to. such a gift for the world.

The adjective transcendental defined in Cambridge dictionary: ”A transcendental experience, event, object, or idea is extremely special and unusual and cannot be understood in ordinary ways”. Alternatively, listening to Christian playing the violin gives the definition directly to your heart without any logical explanations needed. ❤️

The tone of his Violin🤯 the tone he’s able to produce….

Christian, if a thief comes and steals your violin while you are playing, we will continue to hear its sweet sound, because you also play with your heart and with your whole body. all this can be seen very well, observing the passion you put into each piece of music.

The first time I saw them playing together, Christian was shorter than Laurence sitting. Now finally. Christian just plays better and better.

Thank you, Christian and Lawrence, for this very beautiful, touching, expressive performance. I have sung "Après un Rêve" (I'm sure you know it is originally for voice and piano), and your playing it on violin was wonderfully "vocal" in phrasing, delicacy, and expression. The communication between you, Christian and Lawrence, a seamless and intuitive. It was a pleasure to see and hear you in this Fauré.

It is clear that you understand this music to an incredibly precise degree. You can shape the phrases, voice the melody, and create an all-encompassing experience that I haven't heard any other violinist do. I listened to your performance at the Menuhin competition, and you were incredible then, but it's a treat to see your talent evolve and expand as you continue to play. Your music brings me so much joy, and I hope you continue to play :) Great job!

He’s mature and sensitive beyond his years. His phrasing and colors, and varied use of vibrato, are the marks of an authentic artist (and virtuoso violinist) in the making.

christian!!! you are amazing!! ❤️from South korea.

Laurence and Christian have been playing together for a long time, no wonder they match so well. It is an absolute pleasure to have heard your playing as I was deeply moved by this. Just more than 3 minutes of sublime music is enough to make one's day. Thank you both for the astounding sound and for posting this after Menuhin has taken it down. If possible, you should definitely upload your Sarasate caprice ❤️

INCRIDIBILMENTE UN GRANDE VIOLINISTA ,ANIMA, CORPO E MUSICALITA,' MI INCANTO A SENTIRLO E VEDERLO SUONARE, GRAZIE CRISTIANO

This performance touched my soul and moved me to tears. The beauty of tone and the range of colours made for an exquisite, bitter-sweet experience. Sublime! Most sensitively accompanied too.Thank you.both.

This is the Best I ever heard and so depth with the emotion comes from his deep involvement. Christian is mature, probably the best i ever heard. And his accompanist was so quiet and calm- together it was Subtle and Beautiful! thank both of you!

the pianist plays with him for years but not only him - he is a professional too and these two are such a great match. on the new album they also play something together. so beautiful!

在如此凄美的小提琴声中，仿佛我也陷在梦境中不能自拔！Christian Li谢谢你一如既往的用心的演奏，会一直关注你的音乐！

Heavenly……. 🙏💛🙏

This piece of music touches my heart deeply. Thank you, Christian, for your subtle interpretation.

아름답다... 아름답다....

That is just sublime, Mr Li. Only a beautiful and mature soul can produce such music. Thank you for allowing me to soar with you again.

Thank you! Christian Li, for yet another transcendental listening experience. You are truly amazing !

As a violinist you are my biggest inspiration for performance and interpretation. This is one of the most beautiful performances I've heard. Thank you 😄

shivers all over.. i usually don’t enjoy violin interpretations of this piece, but this is not only the first one I actually enjoy but also my new favourite interpretation of the piece. congrats to both

Beautiful sound, tempo, and emotions. Such a singing sound on the E-string. One of my absolute favourite interpretations! Kudos to the pianist as well! Great job!

Genius

出だしの一音から引き込まれました！So beautiful sounds Christian! Bravo from Japan!

As always, a poignant masterful performance from Christian Li.

Never stop uploading videos of your playing, it's a joy to watch and listen, thank you for sharing ❤️💐

I was sad when this was taken down, very glad it’s back up again!!!

He inspires a lot of people to learn and enjoy music like the way he does

As per usual another perfectly played piece, not a note out of place, just total control of the violin. I don’t think that Christian, at this high standard of playing, can play anything that dose not sound exquisite. Once again a master class in how a violin should be played.

Your playing is so special...wide range of abstract colors, subtletly, and nuance. Heartfelt and impressionistic.

What a beautiful tone! And your emotional expression is great. I am fascinated so much.

divine..absolutely divine and the accomponist is brilliant...x

The pianist is amazing omg

So glad to be able to hear this again!!! Would you also upload the other two pieces you played? Missed them a lot.

I can't 😭😭😭😭 wow

Amazing playing! Your sound always makes my heart full of joy and sorrow. Thank you, Christian for uploading this for us to listen!

and a little angel fell from heaven and played music for us.

Exquisite. And a superb piano and violin duo.

You are Amazing ,you have biggest talent!!!

i remember seeing this for the recent menuhin prizewinner concert, along with the grieg sonata. i was terribly disapointed when the video got taken down, especially the grieg sonata! are you planning to post that recording too? i loved the way you interacted with the pianist, it felt that it was truly played like a sonata, not a piano accompanying a violin soloist which many other performances of sonatas can feel like.

What's with the dislike? the envy and jealousy is that strong? LOL. Get a life, just enjoy the performance.

Could you shear us what is in your mind when playing? So the sound is profound! Have ever lost something important?

Could you learn the Beethoven Romance in F major and then upload it? Could you give me tips on how to control the bow even better?

Can you post the video you play grieg violin sonata no. 3 in at the menhuin competition because it was deleted some weeks ago and I really enjoyed it

How can anybody thumbs down this. That's what i don't understand.

It would be cool to do a collaboration with Lydian Nadhaswaram.
