‘What can one say about interpretations that reach perfection, both technically and artistically!’ exclaims Pionteks of Bayreuth, admiring Yundi Xu’s ‘perfect control of sound and rhythm, along with her meticulous colors and phrasing.’ This was in reference to the Chinese pianist’s performance of Ravel’s Miroirs at the Steingraeber Kammermusiksaal in Bayreuth. A Young Steinway Artist, she was accepted into the Conservatoire de Paris at only fourteen and into the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin for Konzertexamen at twenty-one, Yundi Xu has already established herself on the international stage. With dedication and sensitivity, she performs as both a soloist and a chamber musician, collaborating with leading orchestras, venues, and festivals worldwide—from the Konzerthausorchester at Berlin Konzerthaus to the Tanglewood Music Festival and Aspen Music Festival.

From her early achievements to performances on the world’s leading stages, Yundi Xu embodies ‘the intelligence of her phrasing’ and places ‘technique always at the service of music’ (Musiq3).
