All people are trash talking him, I'm older than him and I've just finished the 3rd movement of moonlight sonata, and if I played the heroique polonaise with his age, I would be proud of myself, like damn it you need work and dedication to reach this far while being so young

[@aloofmusician856]

No one is denying that, but should musical standards be lowered because they are younger? I think not. That's why they should be subject to the same stringent requirements to maintain the quality of music. Too many people are concerned with being pc. If they aren't good enough yet, and the music doesn't sound as good as it can, then they should be criticised, constructively of course. It's sad and condescending, to think, 'oh he played well for a kid', it's almost offensive.

Très décevant cette master class… Aussi exceptionnel soit-il comme pianiste, Lang-Lang s’avère être un bien médiocre professeur (oui, il sait chanter mais à part ça ? Techniquement ? Tellement de crispations chez ce jeune interprète et aucune respiration. Et le son ? Tout le temps le même du début à la fin, épuisant à écouter). Pas un mot sur ces trois éléments essentiels alors que ce jeune pianiste fonce sans réfléchir mais cette pièce est tout sauf une démonstration de virtuosité, comme le voulait Chopin d’ailleurs. Chopin a noté « Maestoso » ce qui veut dire « Avec une lenteur majestueuse ». On en est très, très loin ici! Transmettre, c’est un métier différent qu’être un virtuose. On en a la parfaite démonstration ici.

[@kwiwii]

Sans intervenir méchamment, crois tu qu'en seulement quelques minutes Lang Lang pourrait réellement faire quelque chose de correct, il chante. Et si sa façon de transmettre. Certe nous ne sommes pas a un défiler de virtuosité, mais nous sommes avec le PIANISTE de cette génération..

[@TheREM71]

Je ne comprends pas bien tout ce que vous voulez dire... Mais en quelques minutes, il y a moyen de dire beaucoup plus que ce que fait Lang Lang, c'est évident! En quelques lignes, même moi, modeste pianiste, en dit plus que lui, c'est dire...@@kwiwii
