Lang Lang plays Chopin

[fredericfranc]

In this doc Lang Lang talks more than good sense in all sorts of ways, has very good grasp of Chopin's F minor, and displays his secure technique to great effect. He violates the "protocols of proper bevavior" for classical music, and is often disliked for this, but we have here a mature artist behind the appearances, who deserves more serious attention than he gets, at least sometimes. But he can blow them big, too, and does, regularly.

[allthewaythrough]

1:33 is the very best I have ever heard.

[vkb1272]

Why are many people so against Lang lang?? Every artist has different expression and style. If every artist plays the same style and expression, and then what is left???

Come on people.......

[musicandminastirith]

He doesnt play badly here

[stockcar5472]

Why do people like Lang Lang. He has poor taste in his choice of dynamics and can't play a complete phrase without exaggeration. It's always more about him than the music.

[bsd300d]

Jesus Christ, only Lang Lang could ruin Chopin. He should be banned from playing it.

[ChronosCypress]

it's very touching

[v4liumfrance]

[larnaca1]

[euhuang]

The way he plays the beginning of the second movement is simply beautiful.  Music flows like clouds in the sky.

[CANNABLcatfish123]

@euhuang clouds dont flow

[knightpg]

[sclyfes1212]

[GemelCarlos]

first around..

[junglejim66]

A great showman, more like Liberace; he needs a fur coat and ride onstage in a Rolls Royce convertible.. A clear plastic lid on the piano would be a nice gesture.

[VEGANSAM]

LOL!!!

[TempterMan]

Who is the first?

[sclyfes1212]

Zimerman my friend, Zimerman!

[stagesix6]

who is the numver one?

[ryw]

@sclyfes1212

I admit he is good but he is not the second best pianist in the world.. maybe in China. Yundi Li is the best pianist in China, at least in my opinion.

[Fantaisiepsl]

@ryw agree

[forrestisnotmoody]

THIS IS HORRIBLE.

[sclyfes1212]
