Yundi Li: Vienna Recital - Scarlatti / Mozart / Schumann / Liszt
The Vienna recital disc was recorded in the renowned Musikverein, which boasts a rich legacy of performers including Franz Liszt, Sergej Rachmaninov, and Vladimir Horowitz.  Yundi Li has thus far proved his recording merits with the Romantic repertoire, and while his new CD features one Liszt composition, 'Rhapsody espagnole', it also demonstrates the breadth of Li's artistic range as he explores new musical terrain: Schumann's Carnaval, two Scarlatti Sonatas and - just in time for the Mozart Year 2006 - Mozart's Sonata KV 330.   If critics respond as positively to the CD as they did Li's live performances, this disc will take Yundi Li to the next level in terms of record sales: 'This recital confirmed that he belongs with the new pianistic superstars' wrote American Record Guide.
