‘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 2021, when the young Chinese pianist performed Miroirs by Maurice Ravel at the Steingraeber Kammermusiksaal in Bayreuth. Accepted into the Conservatoire de Paris at only fourteen and into the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Academy in Berlin for a postgraduate degree by twenty-one, Yundi Xu already has an impressive career. With her tenacity and sensitivity fueling international aspirations, she has become an accomplished soloist and seasoned chamber musician, who has collaborated with leading orchestras, venues, and festivals worldwide—from the Konzerthausorchester at Berlin’s Konzerthaus, to the Tanglewood Music Center and Aspen Music Festivals.

A rising figure on international stages, Yundi Xu is acclaimed for ‘the intelligence of her phrasing’ (Musiq3), her technical command, and her refined ability to convey complex emotions.
