Lang Lang is a businessman who knows how to play piano.
There is another Chinese pianist, Yundi Li. If you read Chinese, you can try to find what LL bashed about Yundi Li. A real artist/master would not say those words to a fellow artist.
You can find pieces from Li, who plays piano with his heart.
to me evrytime I listen to a musical theme its like an evocation of memories an awaking memory of images, feelings & almost a recall from a past time or even a past life. is the interpreters art of course.
But when interpreting a musical theme is different, tts not only the capability to recollect memories and sensory emotions from events, stories & life, it ts the capability of telling the story by expression which makes an interpreter a trully master. and Barenboim is great at this
What a marvelous story,and he captures Horowitz's style and accent. He takes the question, and makes his answer into something far more profound. What is it that separates great talent, then from a transcendent one-will. Not a very fashionable answer for the post-modern age, but one that is true, and not to be forgotten. Of course it made a deep impression on young Barenboim.
Often I thought of Horowitz-long career-breakdowns-long hiatus-pain-illness-sadness-bu t always he would come back-will
As H said you must want it, must want to express it, and have the will to do it
For those who only know the old horowitz on video-sort of silly (not the playing) but the personality-never forget the immense will that drove him.
I've actually sent this out to many friends as one of the most enlightening statements i've heard. Not a popular way of looking on life anymore, or art-but true nevertheless
