Beethoven: "Appassionata" Piano Sonata No. 23, Op 57 - III. Allegro ma non troppo

[@MusicalBasics]

my favorite interpretation of appassionata. Lang Lang sometimes has questionable interpretations but the vast majority of his performances are heartfelt, expertly skilled and unique, gorgeous plays. for me he is top 5 pianist in the world and by far my favorite pianist!

[@elainemeyer5062]

And also an extension of his mind too imo, the way he puts so much feeling and emotion into everything he plays!

[@richardvolpe7664]

To elainemeyer: Feeling? Emotion? Don't you see (literally) that this is an actor/pianist who's mastered the art of conveying these two qualities by sheer "employment" of a whole gallery of facial expressions and bodily gestures, the likes of which have never (or almost never) been seen on a concert stage? I should think that, by now, his militant, obsessive determination to be a "smash" with his ever-adoring viewers would be obvious. I mean 'painfully' obvious! Feeling and emotion (and don't forget "passion"), as Horowitz wisely pointed out, should come "from inside, not outside." Good luck in trying to make Lang accept, or even understand, this concept. I don't think he's ready to fall out of love with himself. Give it another ten years?

Honestly what is wrong with people accusing pianists/musicians of being too "showy" and "dramatic"? Music is fundamentally an art form. Whilst all forms of art require technique, they also require expression. The purpose of art is to show.

[@chopsticks084hashi]

It’s so true. I’m impressed with your comment.

[@misterling645]

A good pianist is a good showman.

[@Algorox]

Nothing's wrong with being visually expressive on the piano. However, there's a point where showmanship becomes tacky and distasteful. Lang Lang is an anomaly amongst pianists when it comes to showmanship. Don't get me wrong, he is a pianist with extraordinary finger facility and passion -- easily one of the most refreshing and impactful pianists of this generation. But I understand why audiences of Lang Lang have polarized opinions. While I enjoy most of his interpretations (including this one), some are admittedly low-grade circus acts when you compare it to what's written in the score and when you see him being visually overdramatic at the wrong times. While I agree with your comment in general, I think you're oversimplifying the point. People don't dislike being visually expressive in general; only when it's overdone to become distasteful.

[@yin9647]

@@Algorox Distasteful is subjective, and I can understand why some would think that way. When things are overdramatic, it can become pretentious, but different people have different standards for what is "pretentious". What I'm trying to say is to just let people enjoy what they enjoy, and to not set a certain boundary for others as to where "tackiness" begins.

Im not his biggest fan, but I kinda feel that he takes beethoven so damn serious, its amazing. Probably my favourite recording of his repertoire.

I don’t mind the gestures too much, you can see he is putting everything into the performance. He is a listener just as much as you or me. Plus I don’t really watch him all that much.

[@madogsioux5636]

There's something non-negotiable and absolute about a great artist, and that is his/her integrity, quite independent of what you call seriousness, or drama or levity. With integrity, everything else is just incidental. Lang Lang comes first, only then comes the pianist-artist. I haven't seen a more 'honest' artist-performer.

[@jnmusic9969]

He is a true musician/artist, he lives through the music, he becomes music when he plays. It's amazing not only listen, but watch him. he is 22 in this video, when he grew much older, he became more reserved in his expressions. I miss it in older him tho

[@robmob12]

This is my favourite piece of music. This is my favourite interpretation, bar none. Lang Lang, for all his showmanship and his ability to entertain people who've never heard a note of classical music, has nailed this. His virtuosity is here merely a tool to realise the drama, to convey the emotions to us, to speak. This might not technically a very hard piece for him to play, but he takes his own playing of it very seriously indeed. 0:10 Theatrics? Of course. But also, Lang Lang seems the kind of person who loves the music so much that he can recall the moment he understood the meaning for the first time. 2:00 What a great texture transition. 3:18 He seems to hush the piano by power of will alone. 7:34 It's a lot of notes and it's spectacular, but it's very knotty. So to draw out the conclusion like this, to make it brilliant and sonorous like this, is epic. 7:54 Bravissimo Mr. Lang Lang!

@@coolboy10600 Well of COURSE he sped up 'on purpose,' as you say. If he 'slowed' at the end (the last two chords), it was barely noticeable.

The coda is already excitingly fast enough, making his "flooring" it where the descending arpeggios begin completely pointless and, well, stupid. You have to keep in mind that this pianist is irrationally obsessed with the idea of impressing, wowing, and "killing" his audience, no matter what it takes to accomplish this. And by the way, I'm one of many who've "had it" with his trademark, theatrical gesture of triumphant flinging his arms upward with clenched fists.

Ciao meraviglioso pianista Lang Lang. Anch'io ho una figlia che si chiama Silvia e suona il suo pianoforte Steinway 211. Si è diplomata al Conservatorio di Milano, con ottimi risultati, e il presidente della giuria era Claudio Abbado. Sono molto orgoglioso di mia figlia Silvia perché è veramente molto brava! Papà Vittorio

[@christiangrundmann6612]

Before Lang Lang entered the scene, you had to SUPPOSE that pianists enjoyed themselves. With Lang Lang, at last, you KNOW that he does! I call this the Lang Lang Revolution... Thank you for that, maestro!

[@richardvolpe7664]

You're probably right - - all those other pianists (if I had the time, I'd type the names of about 30 of them) were presumably not enjoying themselves at all as they played. If only the LL Revolution had begun, say, 75 years ago. Then, with pianists gradually taking on the Lang "stage persona", we could've had armies of happy, smiling pianists, 'knocking themselves out with unbridled enjoyment as they played through their recitals.

[@villain7140]

Thank God for Lang Lang and his revolution for making music enjoyable again. Who knows, maybe a great pianist will come along who shouts "I AM ENJOYING MYSELF" constantly throughout the performance and then we'll be truly liberated
