That's the case for all of his recordings. They leave much to be desired.

Is Yundi Li's interpretation of Liszt pieces like La Campanella and the Sonata on point at all? I have that recording and I definitely like the sound. As a non-pianist there's not much I can say about the interpretation, but I found it to be generally decent.

Yundi Li's interpretations leave a lot to be desired, but I think that over time he will mature and probably develop into a more complete pianist. Of course, he is technically all there.
