[whoLICKEDmycandycane]

[figurefigure]

Open heart discussion.........WOW.

[WaywardWinds]

@figurefigure I had exactly the same reaction.

RESUMEN DE UN EXCELENTE DVD!!

[her0esfan]

If someone's got personality, why criticise it? It is people like that that make the world an interesting place! The criticism probably comes from people who have none!

[pianobanana]

Wonderful - another facet of Lang Lang and his music.

[RemovdSande11]

wow i didnt know he was treated like a rockstar! ^^

[kczapper]

I am learning this piece right now and I have to say that Lang Lang renders a difficult piece into pure beauty, as I have watched his other two interpretations. It is amazing how he can recreate the beauty over and over again. I love this piece now for its rich, rich imagery.

[DoninWhiting]

Ever since Lang Lang came to Toms River to play when he was 17 years old and fresh into Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, I as a New Jersey American have admired this brilliant musician and musicologist in one giant package. Personally, I got many folks interested in him and my admiration for Chinese musicians will be for the rest of my life.

[Zonataz]

You know guys, it is wrong to be special today.

[modelstatue]

Lang Lang has a great personality. The about him that distinguishes him from other pianists for me is that he is more kid friendly. He loves kids and he loves to teach them play

[Zonataz]

I do agree, this guy deserves more respect from the western world than the current.

[modelstatue]

yea it pisses me off when all people can criticize is his facial expressions. At least he has soul in his music. Amazing pianist and probably one of the most accurate pianists. He can play notes at rapid speeds without breaking a sweat or missing any notes.

[Zonataz]

Such a great guy. People need to stop critizise him for his own style and personality!

[CrookedJudges]

Don't be so surprised. America is full of jealous racist pigs....If he's talented, he should be praised for his talent NOT for his appearance.

[alyzandra]

I love Lang Lang. It is so wonderful that he brings the music to the kids.

[splashmelonfast]

his outfit ........... looks like a LOser instead of 郎郎 more like A stupid 郎郎 so keep up the good work on that and the 琴was excellent

[789vbc]

Some people might find his style a bit over the top, but no doubt he is one of the best young pianist in the world. He is treated like a rock star in China.

[789vbc]

Lang Lang is a rock star in China.

[orannisthedestroyer]

what confuses me is how everyone freaks over his technical abilities. Argerich, Pollini, Volodos, Pogorelich....any of those guys (and one lady) could make him look like a little girl any day.

[SAXPLAYER128]

Hmm I dont think so.

[orannisthedestroyer]

ehhh....watch Argerich's 2007 performance of the Bartok 3rd, or a recent performace of the Tchaikovsky 1 with Pappano....she's in her sixties and playing with the same level of brilliance she had in her twenties.

[orannisthedestroyer]

I'm not putting him down; he's just not my favorite. this world would be a boring place if we all liked the same people :)

[SAXPLAYER128]

Fair point I guess.

[jan1an]

@orannisthedestroyer yeah right, how would you know?

[Oorangy]

omg he nearly made that poor guy fall lol...

[jhmathwizar]

4:08 they all think he's screwed up

[daviz1337]

what kind of istrument is played at

5:55

?

pls tell me

[godspeedzou]

guzhen

[4evaFanFuruba]

lovely ! great video!!

[samkeen]

could anyone please tell me the name of the instrument played at around the 2:30 mark? what a beautiful timbre!

[osotriv]

It's guanzi, a double reed instrument made out of bamboo.

[samkeen]

thank you very much :)

[pietstamitz]

We cannot deny it:

He is one of the leading pianists of our time!

[blankpianist]

I can deny it. very simply.

[pietstamitz]

I think you are right, I posted this half a year ago.

His very great technical ability cannot disguise his

musical and interpretative shortcomings.

But he is still a great talent, striving to render the works

of the great masters properly.

Thank you for reminding.

[schicho123]

very nice Video!

Thx a lot.

[selenity08]

I have the Dragon Songs CD, and it defines Lang Lang and his style. The works are powerful, and truly speaks louder than words.
