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 Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more
