Christian is playing beyond any comments...just listen and you Cograts Young man.. You are a great master of playing violin...so beautiful...beyond dreams❤❤❤
I really do not understand how a young and cheerful boy can express such deep emotion in his playing. What's he thinking while playing this? Hope to see him live one day.

THANK YOU so very much. I'm 92 years old and am so grateful for your beautiful heartfelt performance. I'm so choked up with emotion. THANK YOU AGAIN>
That violinist brings tears to my eyes. Just WOW!

Christian continues to amaze! A child with this level of feeling and virtuosity. Wow.
Christian, Oh, my! I listened to your debut album, four seasons. And this meditation, - speechless. Yours is so different from other violinist's. I always get amazed at how fine and deep your strings sound. Thank you for bringing us such a great joy. I get healed by all your music. I listened probably 100 times of all your video clips. Thank again for your hard work and support of your parents. I will always look forward to having your new album. And I will definitely go to your concert when you come to the US, California once COVID-19 is over.🎻🥰
Wow !! I have heard this piece performed by many incredible violinists, with orchestra, with smaller ensembles etc. and now this kid just violin and piano.. My gosh this is beautiful !!! Bravo . So emotional, romantic, sensitive and amazing
I always cry when I listem to you and SEE you performing. As a formar professional ballet dancer, I can truly say that YOU ARE THE MUSIC. Your soul is músic. Your talent comes from the heart. You are a prodigy, but also a true artist, that feel and became one with the violin. Kisses from 🇧🇷

Chinese here ! He is bravo This is the first time I hear another level of performance of this music piece. Truly impressed & moved
I've heard this piece many times, but it always struck me as "white noise"; something I'd listen with half an ear while doing homework or reading. But when this young man started to play, I felt this was different. My ears pricked up. This is a beautiful performance. Nuanced, heartfelt, artistic. The blending of the accompanist was natural; TWO MUSICIANS AS ONE. TWO INSTRUMENTS AS ONE. This performance has lifted my heart, So of course, I'm crying my eyes out. I hope to hear this duo again soon.
You are my role model Christian.. you inspire me to always work hard. Thank you, Christian. 😊 -Me, 12 year old from Singapore
One of the most expressively sensitive renderings of this romantic piece I have ever in my 80-plus years heard. Utterly remarkable for so young an artist. BRAVO !!!
Superb and sublime. I found myself tearing up from the sheer beauty, thanks to Messrs Massenet, Nichols, Li and Young. Bravo!
Wow have been waiting for this. He’s getting better and better.

Best Mother’s Day present! So lucky to live Melbourne and watch his two live concert...he’s absolutely play soulfully.
Wow! I am 75 and so moved by your exquisite violin playing. It touches my soul. Thank you for this beautiful gift. Sydney Australia 4 June 2024.

So much heartbreak and hope in your expression. Thank you for sharing your heart with the world.
Now i need twoset to be amazed.
Understanding beyond your years, Christian. We are anticipating what you will sound like in your adult years. Something to look forward to in these bleak times. I especially felt a certain gentleness when you played fortissimo. It really hit the core of emotions. Skills beyond your years too. Awesome!
Hi christian! i went to you concert last year and it was amazing i did take a photo with you and now actually put on the wall 😂, im actually a student from you old teacher peter wang and i really hope you accomplish some of the hardest stuff ever thank you christian thank you

Greetings from NJ, USA. I am literally in tears over your beautiful playing. Please tour in the USA NY area.
I realize that you probably either won't see this message or there will be too many to read. Sometimes I'm on the Internet or KZread all day long and I just can't take it anymore. I can't tell you how many times I've turned to just listen to you play your violin it is so beautiful you are so young and so very blessed to be able to play the way you do. I think I like the music that's called meditation that is my favorite. Your music helps me to just get quiet and begin to feel calm. I am 60 years old I haven't played my flute and probably a year and a half but I had private lessons from the time that I was in 4th grade all the way through high School the teacher I had early on she taught me to love classical music and those are the pieces that I worked on but I just want you to know that I love your music and I just thank you for sharing it may God richly bless you and your family!

Only one word for you, Christian: Bravissimo!!! 🎼🎻🎶👏👏👏👏
I've heard this performed several times and this one tops all of them. Played with such sensitivity and emotion. It's on another level.
Glory to God!Thank God for bestowing you such great musical gift and talented! Also Thank the Accompanist for supporting you all the way!
So breathtakingly beautiful! ❤...such a gifted young man. Wow!
🎻🎻 💖 🎹 💓 So Deeply Beautifully Played. Such Beauty in the playing .. 🌹 🎻🎻 🌹

Absolutely moving! Whenever I listen this violine pieces, I recollect middle school days in 1984. At that time I was 14 years old boy. We had about 5 minutes of meditation time before class begin. This violin pieces was used as a background music. I miss those days in Misan middle school.

This is so moving and pure. Watching you play it’s as if you are playing for our creator and your expressions reveal your love for all that’s good. God bless you! Your divine playing just transported me to a peaceful paradise.❣️
Been waiting for this upload, thank you. Beautifully performed as always from both Li and Young. Congrats on your debut album, Christian 💐💐
I moved to tears by all the emotions and soul you put into the piece. Christian, much improved since I heard you play when you were 10 when you won the Menuhin competition. I will look out for all your recordings and future performances.
A transcendent interpretation that soars above all other versions I know of. This is a fervent musical prayer for all mankind, emanating from the very depth of an immaculate soul, delivered to our hearts with a ravishingly beautiful intonation.
Not my favourite piece to listen to, possibly due to over exposure by other violinists, BUT, Christian once again breeds new life into this piece. This is a stunning performance with so much feeling and passion. Christian has total control of the violin and as I have said before about him, he makes this instrument sing for him. Looking forward to the album later this year. Beautifully played.

From the first few notes I had to hold back tears. And that depth of emotion lasted throughout the performance. I wasn't expecting that, and it took me by surprise. Six of the most beautiful minutes of my entire life. Thank you, Christian.
Speechless the most beautiful music I have ever heard in 68 years of life
I close my eyes and find serenity and peace listening to your rendition of this very beautiful music. Thank you Christian Li.
Absolutely Outstanding Performance from such a Remarkable young Musical Prodigy. Christian Li is Exceptionally Simply Phenomenal! Skyrocketing straight to the Top. I'm extremely Amazed by this you man's playing skills and techniques he's had wonderful training with great discipline. My new Violinist Star I will be following Christian from here out. Good Luck Christian you're hands are Anointed from above. RJ. Philadelphia Pa.
Sublime interpretation !!! Thanks Christian for your art !!!
What a beautiful piece with so much peace and comfort. It felt like it gave me a long deep warm hug and assured me that everything is going to be alright, like it understood me, and l forgot my troubles for a moment. Everytime I come back to this wonderful interpretation that feeling is still there, more powerful. Thank you Christian.
God has given you a great gift I pray you are using this gift to bring pleasure to all. It makes me cry every time I hear it, you are truly talented, Please do not stop playing I play this music every day. God bless you'
A child of Music - a musical child, it flows from him as naturally as the sighs of love and beauty.
He is amazingly expressive -- a lot of progress since two-three years ago!
Just sooo sooo beautifully done...thank you for sharing Christian Li...Shalom!
Christian, your talent and musicianship is truly tremendous. I have a saying that you don't play the violin - you play music using the violin, and supremely well at that. Watching you it's obvious that your whole heart and soul is in the music, and the violin is the instrument you use to express yourself. Thank you for the pleasure you give me and everyone who hears you play. God bless you, tremendously!
He’s beyond what I’ve heard from others- more his soul and fingers inside of the music- Best I ever heard and I’m 74

Absolutely Amazing! Stunning as always.

All I can say is that you are totally in tune with your music and obviously it moves you to a tremendous degree. I know just watching and listening to you playing brings that emotion and that passion to me at the age of 70. You are so blessed and the world is more blessed to have you in it!
