As a pianist myself, I cannot stress enough how hard this piece is. Some techniques in it are just unbelievably difficult, and the way Lang Lang manages to play them beautifully with such ease absolutely boggles my mind.

[@Chazza_1201]

Totally agree, I’m easily early advanced into advanced , 15 years experience, got the music for it, spend a few days on it and just could not get past some of the techniques.. it made me realise how good Liszt was and appreciate him more.. to be able to write and play something like that lol Lang Lang and others who can play this have really studied their shit

[@randyt700]

It's bananas the way he gracefully comes off of some notes, and how casually he leans into certain notes as if he's waltzing with the piano. He's mastered this piece. His body language suggests he's beyond comfortable playing this piece and that it's second nature to him.

This is why Lang Lang is my favorite pianist. He can take pieces that are essentially just showing off difficult technical skills and make them expressive and beautiful. In my opinion that's more important than being overly concerned with lightening fast tempos and super technical playing, because in the end that's what music is for; to be beautiful and pleasant to listen to.

[@stacia6678]

It seems like he's doing the opposite. He's trying to be even more of a show-off (not a bad thing in this case). but those unnecessary hand and head movements.. eek

[@kevinlee6170]

@@marshan1226 he's overdoing it, taking away from his performance. It's distracting. Even listening to it with my eyes closed, I would say he would've been better focusing on the piece itself. He got carried away and it shows. Showmanship comes from actually delivering a piece, not by playing it up. There is a difference. I'm not saying he's a clown or he's bad, this is probably one of the top performances of this piece out there, still in 2021, but it's just a little conceited for me, and, for him, probably not as nuanced as he would have liked if he focused less on the crowd and in the music itself.

Honestly I mean it’s very subjective but I think out of all versions I know Lang Lang’s is the best. Lisitza and Kissin also play it quite perfect but I got the feeling they’re a bit stressed or at least they play it like they were. Lang lang plays it like I play fucking “Für Elise” without any sense of being very concentrated but hits every note perfectly. And then the very fast passages he plays even faster but still so crystal clear like the last 30 secs are just light speed and I also love his mid section trill yea it’s only a trill but man that trill got fire.

His hands are magic, piano became alive under his hands. His facial expressions, body movements showed the playfulness of the music ; made the performance fun to watch and enjoyable, instead of something to be awed because it is classic music

[@frogturtle]

what is so insane about this performance is that the song itself is extremely difficult to learn for many pianists. it can take months and months to play this song through at proper tempo with minimal errors. but then on top of all of that, after all of that time and frustration just getting to that point, you then are tasked with learning to play it like THIS, which is a completely different beast. the true potential of this song cannot be expressed if it is played like a calculator spitting out numbers - even if no mistakes are made. Lang Lang here has not only reached the peak of the mountain, he has taken flight into the sky. bravo sir.

[@goro19777]

I look at his hands. And I think - this is probably the only musician who can be "listened to" even without sound, just looking at his hands. Probably the best Campanella. Franz Liszt also listens to Lang Lang with us and smiles :) Peace to all ❤❤

Haha wow this argument is so irrelevant to this video. ;-) I appreciate the support but I'm also not offended. If grammar is your thing then pounce on me all you want (some people may not want you to for them, but I'm fine with it). But I will say that there's been a longstanding debate about when to use "addictive" vs. "addicting" and most dictionaries qualify both as feasible in the same context. "Addicting" is the present participle adjective of "addict" but can be synonymous with "addictive." But again I'm not really passionate about which to use. And anyway I'm glad I got this notification for this debate because now I can listen to this video again. =) Have a great rest of the day, whoever happens to be reading this.

[@GONZOftw2k]

It's so funny how the general Lang Lang hate is picked up by almost every single "expert" in music on the internet. There are so many people talking about the interpretations of interpreters like Lang Lang in such a ridiculous way. You do not have to be as good as those people in playing the piano to say what you like and what you dislike, that is very true. BUT: You should still give credit to someone for playing on such a high level. And despite all possible interpretation-errors that all the critics might have witnessed, Lang Lang (eventhough I don't like most of his interpretations) is exceptional when it comes to technique. His style is (under the circumstances that it's not a pure show-off performance) absolutely flawless, his hands move beautifully and the technique is absolutely far beyond brilliant. Stating things like "Liszt would not have"...what the fuck? I wouldn't even take that comment if you had studied music and piano itself. Plus the chance that even 30% of people, posting those comments have probably close to no musical education, is pretty high. As I said: you do not have to be an expert to tell what sounds good to you and what doesn't. But then leave the level of criticism on the level that your knowledge about the topic is.

[@luf4rall]

I think Liszt would appreciate Lang Lang's acrobatic technique more than anyone else. Lang Lang is giving a performance. If you detach the visual aspect from the sound, I don't think a lot of people would have such a problem.

[@josephsonners2743]

luf4rall Liszt was all about showmanship as well. Women fawned and swooned over him.

[@jackcarr45]

Joseph Sonners only for his talent, surely. I don't know much about the personal life of anyone in the musical industry (apart from Mozart, I did a timed assessment on knowledge gathering from the internet back in school) but with such an expertise I can imagine a lot of women would have wanted him just to hear him play his music every day.

[@josephsonners2743]

Without googling to corroborate that claim, I can say where I heard it, which was a lecture at college in a Classical Music History/Appreciation class. The analogy was he was the equivalent of a rockstar in his day. The professor (female) may have exaggerated a bit.
