Classical Up Close: Lang Lang

[@courtneyweatherman932]

Lang Lang is the greatest pianist in the world. It doesn't even come close. He is technically phenomenal, and his showmanship and creativity when he performs are breathtaking. And he has a lovely personality too!

[@francoislaniel868]

Greatest pianist is debatable since it's very subjective, but some could agree with you. However, the '' It doesn't even come close'' part is really exagerated and hints ignorance of other greats. Evgeny Kissin, Yundi Li, Valentina Lisitsa and Daniel Barenboim are few examples of top class pianist and they surely belong in the same elite group as Lang Lang.

[@juniperwoodgreen4090]

Correction, sorry but 'The greatest' classical 'pianist in the world'. I know people and knew people, some to be remembered posthumously, whom Langy the lad could never touch. Distinctions need adjustment in terms of perspective otherwise people start believing, narrowly, that the impossible is impossible Encouragement is the key, not absolutes......

[@relaxwithmeandtakesomtea8262]

I thought he was the greatest until I heard Trifonov. Please listen to Daniil Trifonov, Beresovsky, Lugansky, Kissin.

Thank you Mr Lang Lang for your time and excellent performance! You uplifted my spirit! I am very impressed not just his excellent skills but by his feelings, kindness and compassion. I truly believe if Beethoven and Mozart are alive, they would be very happy and proud of this young and talented pianist of our modern time!

I have never heard Fur Elise played this way. It becomes a completely different piece to me only because so many beginners can play it, but not with the passion that Lang Lang does. He is a genius.

Maiden's Prayer is a favorite piano piece of my mom and my uncle and my sister. I remember whenever there is a gathering in our house... this piano piece will surely be played. The master's touch of Lang Lang makes this piano piece extra special. Am 59 years old now and listening to this beautiful music brings back happy childhood memories. Thank you Lang Lang..

[@TheSunshinedreamer1]

Thank you for sharing. This is the first time that I have ever heard it. It is a gorgeous piece that I think I would actually like to learn:)

Lang Lang enthralls the soul with the way he gets so lost in his music.

[@WSOJ3]

By now his piano skills probably place him as being one of the greatest pianist ever. I recall his skills improved greatly over the last 10 years even though he was already a famous pianist 10 years ago. Man, another 10 years and his skills is probably be out of this world.

[@therightmusic7639]

A truly sensitive and wise musician always appreciates the importance and the beauty of simplicity in music, in arts and in life in general. The pieces that you play in this video are some of the most beautiful and sublime musical pieces ever composed. This kind of music gives peace to the soul (what the world needs the most) . It’s vibrations harmonize and sensitize. I particularly enjoyed Rêverie (probably the best piece Debussy composed, along with Arabesque 1 and of course, Claire de lune). Whenever I listen to it I feel the same peace and gratitude that I feel when I contemplate the stars in the deep night sky. The infinite love of the universe expresses itself in every single one of its notes … Bravo!

He's right. Kids learning these pieces need to hear them played at their best, the most beautiful interpretations. For sure, the pieces in themselves are already masterworks and shine, but imagine as a child listening to this version of Fur Elise for the first time. The sense of wonderment and appreciation of beauty that will always stay in you, that you can retrieve when you need it.

I really enjoyed watching this interview recital. Lang Lang is very different after he came back from his hand injury break. He is a deeper and fuller person, as well as musician, now. All that reflection he said he did during the break must have something to do with it. Didn’t know he was a God believer (he revealed that he had a godmother in this video), good for him, for his soul, and for his music. God bless him.
