The second guy was brilliant, he played by himself at master level, and then achieved everything as Lang told him

[@mountveggie]

The way he asked the accompanist for the second pianist to remain seated (and enjoy her deserved limelight) when she wanted to move away for him immediately after the piece was over, and how he later politely asked “May I use your piano?” when he needed to demonstrate technique, was genuinely humble and exquisitely classy. 👏🏻❤

Wow would not have expected Lang Lang to be such a great, fun and inspirational teacher! Thank you RCM for another priceless masterclass.

[@guiderjt]

He has always been a great teacher. I watched practically all of his masterclasses on KZbin.

[@heebieejeebieeeez]

Thomas Luke and Jeneba Kanneh-Mason have such a bright future. They did so amazing, It's truly fascinating to watch these master classes.

[@dalindgren]

Can't believe I'll be the first to comment this amazing video. As a piano student myself, it brought me great joy to watch. Beautiful display of mastery + generosity and talent + ingenuity. Thank you very much for bringing it to us. Cheers from Brazil!

Thank you for mentoring and inspiring our young generations. Will love to see you live one day. Kerp up the great work. Thank you. Blessed.

[@honda412000]

Just delightful seeing and hearing this amazing men the way he "translates" the music into feelings and actions.

[@lakep7798]

Wow!! Phenomenal!!! The last one gave me CHILLS…WONDERFUL!! What a great privilege it must have been to participate in this master class!

[@richardforshaw8479]

He has an uncanny way of bringing out the best in the pupils. A Great teacher!

[@boxuanyang1418]

Top teacher with top students. How can you not love this!

[@toxikwastedump]

wow, what a treat this is to have available online. i was having the same feeling in the start with catherine's playing, a very nice tempo but a little more dynamics a little softer but wow he sees (hears) absolutely everything and what a difference it makes in her playing when she takes those notes and she starts feeling the piece more.

[@jeanpotter2163]

All of these students have a great future. They were fantastic.

[@marinarebeccaa]

Amazing. Lang Lang really plays beyond words AND can convey his messages to students beautifully.

[@taichengjin2366]

Awesome! LL's ability to extract the themes, colors, gait, and story from the piece gives him the ability to see beyond mechanics. The infusion of one's lived experience is at the core of music, through pitch, drag, pause etc. A good musician pays attention to the senses beyond the immediately audible. Despite music being often interpreted in such a form, many "hear" color and temperature. And he is one such person.

[@maryjovergara9950]

The organ in the background is something to behold, it is majestic, the sound must be superb!

[@estherdonega5574]

This is the world of music... a panorama of perception and discoveries through musical notes BRAVO!!!! 👏🏻❤

[@sivils8356]

Wow beautiful. I like Lang Lang he gives great advice and such passion. I love how he explains the music. He's fun.

[@yobroh0]

The God Of Piano In This Century

[@zachpuller]

I see very few masterclasses where they just jump right into the details like this, no fluff, no grandstanding. Much prefer this style.

[@pablors33]

My lord what an honor !!!

[@MrJdsenior]

The level of change in the guy in the blue shirt was nothing short of incredible. You could tell by Lang Lang's whole demeanor that he really enjoys getting ahold of someone so quickly teachable. It went from technically very adept to that, but with very high expression musician ship and showmanship, in a very short time. I also really enjoyed that students joy in learning and growing, so evident in his face all t;he way through. That young man could flat out go somewhere. Loads of student talent on that stage, not remotely just him, either. Some not nearly as open and quick to implement, though. Initially I got that impression from the last student, but then she got very receptive and things started to really happen. Some time needed for the student teacher dynamic to develop.

[@Quiltskate]

That was a genuine treat and so informative and interesting. The students were wonderful and will benefit greatly from the insights gleaned in this special class.

[@Bjorn7342]

Top piano teacher 🎉

[@marymunro339]

How do you execute a triple Forte without sounding as if you were "banging" the keyboard ?

[@Patrick-xm9hp]

Pure Genius

[@eddygonzalez6018]

What about using the sustain pedal with una corda? I tend to do this in some similar pieces.

[@kwmusicacademy7479]

Superb content.

Suddenly, the music seems different !

[@nacs]

He's an incredible teacher

[@angihug]

This master class made me deeply happy. Not only were the students amazingly well prepared and ready to play any part but the Lang lang’s guidance spoke to me even though I am not a pianist. I could fully appreciate the nuances. I think I will listen to many more similar recordings.

[@neilcochran7719]

So subtly done, yet powerful tonality! Amazing.

[@myardley6653]

What a brilliant captivating insight into the Masterclass by the one & only Lang Lang . His skill in translating the emotional and feeling of his knowledge to the students, beyond belief

[@amoseyeghe5923]
