The Music of Lang Lang.

 

Pianist Lang Lang.

While I have not seen him in a live concert, my sense is that Lang Lang is not only a sensitive musician, but he also has an exciting stage presence.

I watched a video of this fine pianist in a master class with Daniel Barenboim, as they were going over the Beethoven “Appasionata” sonata. I noticed that Lang Lang was highly respectful, listened carefully, and realized he was in the presence of an experienced senior person. I liked that about him.

On this CD, we get a collection of some of his best known performances, titled:
