I know of no other pianist who's able to bring across such strong passion for his music as Lang Lang. It's truly a joy to watch and listen to his play!

[@kathydunham2493]

My husband and I were lucky to be in Paris when he was there in concert!! Wow, what a thrill!! Lang Lang is the BEST!!!!

[@MichaelAlexander1967]

It is absolutely riveting! Lang Lang is the most colorful player I've heard, & because of that, I would say he is definitely one of the best pianists of this generation. God bless him!

[@neoniahazelwood9263]

I always feel peace and love whenever Lang Lang performs.

[@airina31]

Lang Lang is the most interesting of the younger generation of pianist . Respect for him .

[@windstorm1000]

airina31 but he's becoming interesting for all the wrong reasons--he should stop with the fake smiles while playing. its actually embarrassing to watch --like a classical drag queen.

[@airina31]

windstorm1000 He is an artist , why should he be stone faced .

[@SRC98]

Lol.

[@朱政龙]

absolutely!

[@hervich]

Particularly when he doesn't play. Be serious ! Listen to Horowitz, Yudina, Argerich, Kilenyi... and others but not Lang Lang !.

[@hendrinajoubert4550]

Chopin is my favourite componist and I yust LOVE piano music and here comes a truelly perfectionist, Lang Lang, and NOW I really wish I could play like this!!!! Thank you for filling up empy spaces in an 71year old woman's heart with the most beautifull music.

[@littown3868]

Lang Lang is amazing! I am luck to live in this world with Lang Lang. Lang Lang's play is so crispy, powerful, and beautiful. Thank you, Lang Lang!

[@Myaccountishacked]

At three years of age Lang Lang piano training began. Lang Lang is well disciplined, respectable and humble. Beautiful vision.... for all the children of the world to learn piano...... beautiful classical music lives forever.

[@ThePianoguy89]

I love his playing! If anyone doesn't like his style, then why watch him! he is a very entertaining pianist and I love his showmanship.

[@melusinebd3814]

I agree with you!

[@liszt37]

For those of you like me, who value above all else the emotional components of a musical performance, there is no one more gifted to present this to a hungry public than Lang Lang. I regret that Chopin is no longer among the living to hear him play. Lang Lang is unsurpassed in this respect.

[@789armstrong]

+Art Landy Lang Lang was born with complete independence of the fingers.A very rare phenomenom, Liszt, Josef Hoffman, Horowitz, and now Lang Lang.There will always be jealousy and ignorance concerning his art which unfortunately is not consistent.Hopefully this great artist will someday get over his need to be in the spotlight with celebrities.Then he should consistently be able to identify with the masters as is the case here.His DVDs represent transcendental pianism of the highest order.

[@liszt37]

Thank you for sharing your musical erudition, which added to the appreciation I have for LL I will now savor his performances even more than I do at present..

[@789armstrong]

+Art Landy Lang Lang is the only pianist that has ever been able to play the Tchaikovsky Concerto as well as Horowitz and he is the only pianist that could play Chopins 2nd Piano Sonata as well as Rachmaninoff.I pray that I live long enough to hear that historic event.

[@daedaldan]

He actually practiced 5 hours a day from a very young age.

[@nihilistlemon1995]

@@789armstrong you have to listen to more recordings man . Because your comment is one of the most ignorant stuff i've heard . For Tchaikovsky 1 listen to Volodos and for Chopin 2 , Michelangeli . I like Lang Lang but to claim he is THE BEST EVER is insulting . Also he sounds terrible and does stuff here that are in bad taste that Chopin would be rolling in his grave

[@lt6jam]

The Nocturne Op 55 #2 is one of the best performances I've heard. Not often played, More often not played well. Cant deny Lang Lang's talent

[@raymeall9123]

He's playing so wonderfull thanks for the Video. Lang Lang is the best Pianist in the time and in the World

[@hermanjoseph401]

Lang Lang has been developing into a very great artist. His technique is matchless However he colors every note within expressive phrasing. Each piece has an individual personal interpretation. He is a remarkable pianist. In one of his interviews he stated that his current teacher is Gary Graffman.

[@elkiechan6682]

@The Connoisseur stop Kissin his ass jk both are good let's not compare

[@domberta7825]

What I admire in Lang Lang is his focus on the interpretation of every single note, and I mean every note!

[@andreswang6666]

Lang Lang is a great pianist and plays with such nuance.

[@Khaliszt]

Minute 51:30 - Really, really encouraging for any of you watching this, who love piano and have never decided to go on with it, or haven't been able to. Just listen.

[@susanlivesley]

What an amazing pianist, just to watch him is shear joy let alone listening

[@andyxiong672]

8:50 (in Lang Lang's mind) "Oh gosh, I hate these kind of floors, but I guess they will do."

[@mariaelenavidalarangua289]

Lang Lang es un pianista maravilloso, joven chino inició su carrera a los 3 años, ha llegado hasta Chile a entregarnos su capacidad interpretativa, los aplausos que recibió fueron por lo expertise demostrada. en todo momento y lo aplaudimos de pie pues fue una forma de agradecerle sus intervenciones.

[@liszt37]

After reading through numerous comments, I am dismayed at all those for whom music is all about sound and technique rather than an emotional experience. Lang Lang is great, surpassed perhaps only by Horowitz, who often stated that one must do something with the music and not just offer the notes. Lang Lang does just that and extremely well indeed.

[@DihelsonMendonca]

+Art Landy I agree with you. Lang lang is great on emotion...

[@janefromtennessee]

He's a great pianist.

NO WAY !!!!!!!!! I DISAGREE @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

[@lawrobi]

I think we have to stop comparing musicians, who is better who is worse. Music is universal and probably the most beautiful creation of human kind. We need people like Lang Lang and others to make sure this heritage will never disappear

[@PeterFritzWalter]

The message of Lang Lang is that even if you are a lousy pianist, you should not despair for if you believe in yourself and if you have the right attitude. Please do not misunderstand me, I am not saying that Lang Lang is a lousy pianist. I am saying that he has a personal way to play, and I think that is the only way you will ever succeed in today's world of musical performance. After all, Arthur Rubinstein said this in a public interview, when being asked if he was the best pianist of his time: -No, I am not. There are many other pianists who play technically better than I do, but the public likes my way to play, and this is what counts for me. I think the same is true today for Lang Lang. Yuja Wang plays much better than him, and yet he has established a place in a niche of the classical musical repertoire. I am not a fan of his play, but I love him as a human, the way he talks, the way he teaches children, the way he is simply himself. He is a lovely person, that's what I want to say ...

[@windstorm1000]

***** excellent analysis--there are many viewers who connect to Lang's emotional 'connection'--whether his is genuine is of no consequence to those in his spell.

[@maryyueil]

***** Chacun son gout. So I never say who plays better than whom.

[@maryyueil]

***** I like turtles too, I used to have two of them. What have them got to do with Lang Lang's piano playing? ?????

[@joshuacooper6573]

Emotional response is more important than technique when it comes to music. Impressive technique is only a tool bring out an emotional response.

[@maryyueil]

I just say : Each to his or her own:; Chacun a son gout.

[@asermjgxrus5070]

You're a great virtuoso pianist. Have a keen sense of humor, too...Music is, indeed, your life. I love Music too. Started playing by ear at 5y.o. then my grandma enrolled me on summers at age 7 and read notes; but, I disliked note reading thoughI have to learn it by heart so I could play some classical pieces I am delighted to like Flùr Elise, Hungarian Dance No.5 and The Beautiful Blue Danube. Honestly, I am more motivated playing Pop Music by the Beatles(m a Beatlemania, now m 67) watching Sangah Noona. Nevertheless, Classical Music is more peaceful to hear at and I am beginning to love it with your Classical renditions. Kudos, Man! -a senior fan from d Philippines.

Lang Lang say the important thing its never too late to study some new stuff in life :P I love pieces playing by Lang Lang cuz he feel that music and his control dynamics is incredible. Reminiscences du Don Juan de Mozart and Liebestraum are my favourite by him, appasionate also from another world.

[@odie720706]

Agree with your opinion and also with David Barless's. First of all, that place is not a concert hall at all, i suppose, so the resonance is different from the music that we hear in normal concert halls. And as David Barless said, probably how the sound was mixed down. There must be some kind of sound technology to record this performance, and the way they adjust this recording is really up to the technicians.

[@ONEDINAZER]

Great job.

[@miloumoreira7760]

Very good. A different way of feeling Chopin.

[@2WUDI]

Right on! As for Chopin, we know he often played his pieces differently himself, but George Sand also described how obsessive and meticulous he was when he set his ideas to paper.

[@georgewu5]

48:40 Lang Lang was talking about something I was more familiar with, International Ballroom Dancing. I stopped teaching about twenty years ago, I put my energy writing a book about International Ballroom Dancing. At the beginning, I was so busy just learning the basic figures, I did not pay attention to anything else, but after I was more comfortable to the dance, say, International Rumba, I began to interpret the passionate music, the timing, the hip movements and the postures, etc. Every time the dancing is different to me, depending on who the partner I danced with and what my physical condition was in that evening. Did I just finish a Vienese Watlz moments before I was invited to another dance immediately afterwards? Those are the factors of my performance in that particular evening. Anyway, I had as much as fun as Lang Lang playing his music by Beethoven. George Wu, A.I.A. 2014-3-5

[@georgewu5]

People go to theaters and movies not just seeing the performance of the actors and actresses, but also the performance, the intrepretation and the expressions.. People do not go to see a dead face performing a romantic ballad. That is why people went to see Lang Lang and Kim Novak, not Rubinstein or any other poker face !

[@tomzhangus]

The interview guy has a very condescending tone toward Lang Lang. Highly dislike. Who the hell he think he is? Just regular radio show host and he gets to say such things? Despicable. Lang lang is very well known globally, thank you very much.

[@Clsctorp123]

I felt this vibe as well, it's almost as if the interviewer/audience treats him like some sort of chump in their eyes, it's really sad, especially because if you listen to the way Lang Lang treats his styling you can sense that he is a profoundly poetic and beautiful individual with an incredible mind as well.

I haven't felt this condescending vibe you are so worked-up about. There's a tiny bit of a humorous atmosphere at most. You might wanna watch again Tom Zhang, avoid doing this when you just woke-up and didn't have breakfast.

[@maryyueil]

MrXelium Agreed with you, some people are quite sensitive.

[@KM-dh4st]

Tom Z Yeah, it felt very businesslike and a bit smothering. Why are they waving around his album and talking about “job creation”?

[@JamesOStanworth-Wang]

May be referring to his music as "those things" is not very constructive. A bit more stage for Lang Lang and a little less for the interviewer, perhaps?@

ajoiio - right on man! The issue here is the "intellectual elite" (esp the critics) think they know better than the plebeans. But as individuals, we have as much power to express our opinions as the old elite. Who knows what Chopin intended? But any great "cover" version raises our spirits.

Oh go away you idiot, You understand as much about beautiful music as a giraffe understands that it has a long neck.

[@madelena1234]

go lucky Senior Oh yes authority speaks. Your true colours are grey, black and grey again. You infer that those who like Lang Lang are morons. You are intolerant someone who relishes in putting down a great pianist. I am a pianist myself, and I know that many of my friends appreciate Lang Lang. You are not the Be All and End All of knowledge when it comes to classical music you know. Your post shows your sense of superiority over others. If you were a tad more humble your comments would be more acceptable, but your dogmatic put down is most unfair and cruel to a pianist. I have adored classical music all my life, your comments are most offensive.

[@madelena1234]

go lucky Senior Good, I also love Pollini and many other pianists. But I would not think to deride and put down any of them, because I know about the love and sacrifice it takes to be a great pianist and play well enough to communicate to an audience. Therefore I find the hatred against Lang Lang at best inappropriate. And at worst very vulgar and cruel

[@Clsctorp123]

madelena1234 I agree, it is completely inappropriate to just put down such an amazing performer, let alone alone someone who has put countless hours of their life into the skill. I think his artistic expression (which I absolutely love) can be critiqued but not his prowess.
