I'm not always a fan of Lang Lang's performances, I find many of them overexpressive, or missing something important from the piece.
But whenever I listen to him, I always minimize the window and just listen to his playing, and I have to say, I like this Prokofiev. Lang Lang's lively style seems to really complement the piece, imo.
1. It is sad how great pianists such as Martha Argerich, Kissin, and Sokolov don't nearly as much publicity as this circus animal.
2. A big part of Lang Lang's fame is because his eccentric playing. It is like you see handsome white men with ugly Asian women all the time. Their taste is not yet refine to differentiate exotic ones versus bad ones.
3. Bang Bang and his disgusting facial expression just sickens me.
1. Argerich doesn't like the spotlight, Kissin's parents didn't want him to over extend himself with concerts but he's still played many concerts and I have no idea who Sokolov is.
2. Mitsuko Uchida, the High Priestess of Mozart, whose interpretations of Mozart are considered the highest. Have you seen her facial expressions?
Agreed. Besides, further supporting this, I've seen Kissin on Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto - his expressions and gestures are indeed worthy of Lang Lang. As someone else expressed in a different video, I don't care if he shouts passages from "Lord of the Rings" while he plays; as long as he plays right, and he plays well, forget about his facial and physical expressions and just enjoy the nice music.
And I must say, lscully2, your arguments are very well-written. =)

"Mitsuko Uchida, the High Priestess of Mozart, whose interpretations of Mozart are considered the highest" by whom? by you maybe.Come on, that fucking cheetta plays a good Mozart of course,but no more that that, and of course her mandril and mongoloid behavior is just horrible. And of course the LonLon mongoloid is piece of shit.This music sounds better than others performances he does, becuase is more apropiate to his only musical side:The percussion. Anywya are better inerpretations of this.
you post on every lala video. don't tell us u want to change people... it's a nervous tic; u use the same vocabulary all the time. Pfff and i thought you could improve . bah
Mitsuko Uchida was awarded Doctor of Music degree by the University of Oxford in June 2009. Her complete recording of Mozarts piano sonatas won the Gramophone Award. NO degree or award for you fucking moron piece of shit.

try not to look at him,
hes reli good when u dun look at him.
he played so fast and every note was crystal clear along with very smooth phrasings.
not many virtuosos can do that.
lang lang is so apt at playing prokofiev;
he has great technique and energy

Lang lang is an amazing pianist... there is no doubt about that,
but i think i'd have to say that he lacks a "je ne se qua" of virtuoso pianists such as Evgeny Kissin, or Horowitz.
