"Power and brilliance, enchantment too, from a marvellous young pianist."
- Gramophone
Pianist Yundi (formerly known as Yundi Li) built his reputation on his Chopin interpretations and is such an important exponent of Chopin’s music that he was presented a Gold Medal for Merit to Culture by the Government of Poland in 2010. Five years after his last Chopin recording, Yundi presents The Complete Preludes, one of Chopin's most loved and commercial sets of compositions. This release ties in with the 15th anniversary of Yundi's legendary victory, at the age of only 18, at the International Warsaw Chopin Competition in 2000.
