Throughout its long and rich history, New York's Carnegie Hall and great pianism
have been synonymous. Lang Lang's Carnegie Hall debut on 7 November 2003
seems to be an event of similar importance. Although Lang Lang had barely
celebrated his 21st birthday at the time of this concert, his portfolio already boasts an
impressive array of high-profile, international appearances. Given Lang Lang's swift
and steady ascent, one can easily imagine the inevitable pressure on this young
artist to deliver the goods in the face of increased scrutiny from colleagues and
critics. As it happens, he handles the limelight with confidence and consummate
grace.

Still can't get over the quality of this when it was in 2003! And also how good of a performance it is. Really remarkable.

you will not find a better version of live (or studio recording) of this work. this is THE BEST!

[@Lisztomaniac1022]

Masaru Okadas I feel is a tad better. HIs involves original passages, Lang Langs and Daniel Hsu's from the Van Cliburn involves ossia passages. I like both but Okadas wins imo.

Goosebumps... 1) Amazing piece of music, 2) insanely good technical performance, 3) incredible ability to memorize ALL those notes, 4) ...all those notes!

[@felleg4737]

You don't memorize notes; you memorize patterns. as you wouldnt memorize letters but words and sentences. There are four pillars of memory: visual memory, muscle memory, auditory memory, and structural memory. When you combine these four, memorizing pieces becomes much easier. While this piece is technically very challenging, memorizing it is not the hardest part.

[@Rola6jkTi8POACH]

He is easily the best interpreter of this piece by far. Can do musically whatever he wants with any part (wether you like it or not)and is very creative with it.

[@pianista-mediocre]

There are several better interpretations. I recommend listening to Hamelin

[@Macintosh8]

@@pianista-mediocre What do you mean better?? Music is subjective, people have different opinions of what the best performances are. Lang Lang's and Hamelin's interpretations are both incredible. It depends on the person what the "best" is.

@@Macintosh8 Exactly. Everyone has different opinions and my opinion is that Hamelin played better. What's the problem?

ppl hating on lang lang watching this be like I DON`T NEED TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC IF I CAN CRITICIZE HIS BODY MOVEMENTS

[@silencedogood7297]

"Be like " is poor grammar, written by a fool who is impressed with glitter but not with real gold or real substance. Lang Lang's body movements do nothing to the sound and are just for show. The real criticism we real pianists have is that he plays anything marked loud(forte) extra loudly, anything marked soft (piano) super softly, anything fast (presto or vif) way too quickly.. Everything he plays sounds like an old hooker wearing too much makeup to cover her facial wrinkles , too short a skirt to cover her wrinkled legs and her blouse as open as possible to promote her sagging bosom. He puts down the sustain pedal too much to blur his uneven passages. He demonstrates no subtlety or understanding of the structure and history of any piece he performs. A critic may have written that this young showman is the "new Liszt" but List was not noted for banging the bass, rushing and changing temp on a whim, or putting on an act. Look it up.

[@ajayaymusic]

I know. And it’s a particularly dense criticism in Liszt, the biggest, most histrionic show off of them all.
