Li Yundi is a classical pianist born in Chongqing, China on October 7, 1982.[1] He is also popularly known as Yundi Li. His discography contains 6 studio albums. He has also made four contributions to compilation albums not under his name and featured in two video items, a 2004 concert and a documentary.

Li signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon in 2001 and in early 2002 he released his first album, containing the works of Chopin.[2] In 2003, the year of Li's Carnegie Hall debut, Deutsche Grammophon released his second album, an all-Liszt CD which was given the title "Best CD of the Year" by The New York Times, which also referred to his 2008 release of Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 2 and Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major as one of the best classical CDs of the year.[1] Li continued to record for Deutsche Grammophon until November 2008,[3] releasing a total of 6 albums with the label.

In 2010 he began to record with EMI, with whom he signed an exclusive recording contract to record Chopin’s complete solo piano works.[4] His first EMI release, the complete Nocturnes was released in March 2010.

In May 2012, YUNDI officially signed with Universal Music Group and cooperated with Deutsche Grammophon once again.[5] He then released recordings of Beethoven Piano Sonatas, Beethoven Emperor and Schumann Fantasie, THE ART OF YUNDI, Chopin Prelude and Chopin Ballades Berceuse Mazurkas.[6]
