About
Christian Li signed to Decca when he was just 12 years old. Now 17, this album represents a ‘coming of age’ moment for the young violinist as he records Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. With the winning combination of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and their Conductor Laureate, Vasily Petrenko, the album includes several transcriptions of popular Tchaikovsky works, arranged for violin and piano or string ensemble. “Whatever he touches, this young violinist emerges as an extraordinary wunderkind.” BBC Music Magazine.

Awards and reviews
April 2025
Without resorting to flashy novelty or idiosyncrasy, Li takes an essentially straightforward approach but makes a mark through his tonal confidence, clarity of gesture and, most tellingly, unwavering focus on communication... on the evidence of his playing here, Li already possesses the qualities needed to ripen into an artist of substance.
