Did Yundi Li get dropped from his DG contract? and if he did, why?

on: July 10, 2009, 04:29:25 PM

I read on a random blog that Yundi Li got dropped from his DG(Deutsche Grammaphone) contract because he play the wrong selection for his Carnegie Hall Debut.
I don't know if that's correct.

He's not as pretty as Yuja Wang.

I personally am glad to see him go. He is a pianist that contributed nothing to the world of music. He was just another young pianist who sucked on DG's teat that they could flaunt around. Now that they have Yuja Wang, they don't need Yundi Li anymore, because Yuja Wang is now sucking their proverbial corporate teat.

It's all opinion, there are far too many pianists, I guess DG just found a better pianist. Yundi Li and Lang Lang are definitely the new generation super pianist. blablabla.

Not to be politically/socially/culturally incorrect, but why does DG seem to sign only Asian pianists these days?

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
