Li Yundi: I only care about my own musical feelings

Speaking of recent Weibo celebrities, the "Piano Prince" Li Yundi is one of them. Especially after the Spring Festival Gala, Li Yundi and Wang Leehom were ridiculed by Liu Qian again, and this pool of spring water made waves again......

Just because I took a little more look at him at the concert, the high-quality idol Wang Leehom and the "Piano Prince" Li Yundi met. The first time the two collaborated was on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 2012, a song "Golden Snake Dance" shined, who knew that netizens who loved to spoof "Lalang match", the two actually interacted frequently on Weibo and high-profile interactions, posted sweet photos of Thanksgiving together, and met parents, Li Yundi sang for Leehom Wang's concert, which caused the fans in the audience to shout "together". In this regard, Li Yundi responded: "It's quite interesting, no matter what everyone thinks, I will respect their spirit of entertainment." ”

This may just be the sympathy of musical talents, or it may be the "third relationship between boys". Someone commented: It's not love between the two of them, it's cuteness.

No matter what the hell is going on, the low-key, humble but slightly dull "piano prince" is now a bit open-minded. In his own words, it's not entertainment, it's just about relaxing now.

At the age of 18, he won the gold medal of the Chopin International Piano Competition, ending the situation of 15 years of no one winning the award, and Li Yundi has become famous since then. The young genius had a strong sense of musicality at the age of 1, began to learn the accordion at the age of 4, and won first place in the Chongqing Children's Accordion Competition the following year. Later, because the accordion was too big and too heavy, practicing a few pieces in the sweltering weather of Chongqing, patches of red prickly heat would heat up on my chest. "Can you let me play a piano that is neither heavy nor hot", the parents who felt sorry for their son decided to let him learn piano instead. He was 7 years old that year, which was not an early start, but after only 3 months of learning, the teacher said that the child's comprehension was too strong to teach.

Li Yundi himself admits that he is talented, but his success stems more from his persistence and focus, "When I was a child, I was greedy for fun, but once I played the piano, it was."

The kind that can't get down. Without the help of his parents and the anguish of keeping the hour, he wrote down his ambition to be a piano master in his composition when he was in the third grade. At the age of 9, he first came into contact with Chopin's "Etudes", and since then he has also formed a love affair with Chopin.

"Chopin didn't like exaggerated and ornate elements, but preferred to use plain and euphemistic techniques, which is actually great. A work of art is the highest state without revealing the mountain dew. "How to grow from a well-known pianist to a master with his own style is not to rely on a few years of fame to complete, but to study hard, endure loneliness and resist temptation." ”

This unconformist, slightly high-minded temperament was revealed when he had just won the gold medal at the Chopin Competition. A reporter asked him, Li Yundi, you are not in love, how can you express the love in Chopin's music? At that time, he said that in the competition, many people were married and even had children, but they did not express their love better than me.

After becoming famous, he was not interested in the packaging and marketing of magnesium lights and brokerage companies, behaved casually, did not like to talk, and wore a baseball cap on his unkempt hair. He loves food, and even once turned down a commercial show in the Golden Hall in order to make a documentary about a food trip in the Far East. He's also an avid car enthusiast and has a knack for modified cars.

In his view, these "unprofessional" lives are a means of pleasuring the spirit and can inspire musically. He didn't want to be a guy who knew nothing but the piano.

When it comes to Li Yundi, people always like to compare Lang Lang with him. The two are the same age, and when Li Yundi became famous, Lang Lang came to prominence. But since then, Lang Lang has seized the opportunity, won a significant foreign award, and became a guest of honor on many important occasions such as the White House concert and the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, and the limelight is far better than Li Yundi. In this regard, Li Yundi does not mind, "everyone has the same major, but they have their own style", and the number of performances does not mean anything, "I just hope that I am a music communicator", especially hope to promote young people to have a new understanding of classical music, "no matter from which point of view, this is the source of music".

However, since 2012, Li Yundi has appeared more in the public eye, he is not against a qiē commercial performance, art also needs to be promoted, but "the insincerity of music is in my heart and blood, and I will definitely not go to a commercial performance that does not match my artistic concept", "Participating in the Spring Festival Gala, this is not a stage that reflects how superb my level is, mainly for everyone to relax, be happy, and have a good year." ”

This year, Li Yundi began to play Beethoven and released a new record, he denied that this was based on market pressure, and he emphasized that he only did what he liked, "I never consider the feelings of the market on every record, I only care about my own musical feelings." But Beethoven is beautiful and majestic in a furnace, "like keeping a pigeon and a crocodile together", Li Yundi can express Xiàn the most gentle and romantic pigeon, but how does he control the crocodile? In this regard, Li Yundi believes that he needs to make another breakthrough in life, "When I get in touch with Beethoven slowly, I believe that Beethoven will continue to grow in my heart."
