The following excerpt is from LA Monde, the French newspaper which
reviewed Yundi Li's concert in June 2003 France.

   A French lady was kind to translate some of the keywords:
   disappointing...surprise at his playing as if Chopin was lame,
   full of bones, too emphatic played without vigor.  transcendal
   studies did not go beyond that spirit.  Scherzo, too percussive
   and theatrical, simply could not be understood.

   Scherzo #/4 coarse and left public to be stupidified.  Second
   part of receit, public was still hoping.  but nothing ..Although
   the work was structured, the way he played as it at random and
   his interpretation lacking in rhythm -like someone limping and
   as if he was smiling in a falses and tragic (sneer?) or jazzy
   rhythm.

Would  the list  add to this summary?
