Also, he must be good at what he does, I say this because he was PICKED for the YOUTUBE ORCHESTRA back in I believe 2009? He has some form of school now or academy for pianists, and HE HAS RECOGNITION. If any of you were "as good or better", then why have are you not known? Why do you not have symphonies or orchestras backing you up? Why are there no videos of you? People just come here, and bash. If you have NOTHING good to say, don't post. Don't watch/listen, just go on with your life.
My question to all of you critiquing, CAN YOU PLAY WHAT HE HAS or are you here just to criticize? You can attempt to make yourself sound "intelligent" or that you have some "vast knowledge about music", but, CAN YOU DO WHAT HE CAN? If so, videos, post them. I rarely comment against people, but really now. If you can't do it, don't critique it. It's pretty simple.
This is awful - honestly. Where's the articulation? And he rushes the faster runs as if theyre exercises. He's a technician and his Liszt isn't that good either - he has great facility but little imagination or taste.
I agree with you. He's not even a technician, his technique is awful. You can't take him as an example good technique. Just look at his hands. HORRIBLE TECHNIQUE. Arrau technique wasn't the best either, but it was far more better than this Lang Lang crap, and the music Arrau played with his hands. Compare Arrau recording with this crap. ARRAU WAS A GOD, and Lang Lang is, like some guy say here, a magician, a simple illusionist a faker.
Do you think that technique is based on how the hands look? No i think technique is based on how an artist puts things to execution, he hands looks different than the usual but to say that he's technique is awful is totally wrong. He is a master technician, a virtuoso thats what he is.
No matter what you think, and if you like him or not, he's not good at all. There are things in music you should obey like the score. He can't cause he's not prepared mentally, technically and musically. Whatever, you would never understand.
Cause Youtube suggest this to me and sometimes I just can't avoid to waste my time watching Lang Lang videos. Then I listen the first three seconds and I regret my decision, and then I read all the funny comments about how good he is and I can't avoid to write something.
"you would never understand." That's the weakest, most condescending pseudo-argument ever. Nobody possesses any divine knowledge only he or any specific group of people were able to ever understand; for the most part it's a communication failure of the propagator to present coherent arguments to justify their position. In the same regard, no credible argumentator would need to resort to such an outright intelectual insult.
That said, I don't like Lang Lang too much either.
PLEASE! Just compare this to Backhaus, Arrau, Perriah, Zimerman, De Larrocha, Rubinstein, and many other amazing pianist. Why to waste your time in this crap if you may listen to real pianists and artists. Lang Lang is just a piece of crap.
I agree if you know this piece and listen to other recordings it is awful. This is the most expressive part of the concerto and there's nothing. Lang Lang should be in Sing Sing for his crimes to music!
@EdiEllerymissing -- you're not very intelligent are you? That's like saying EVERY ARTIST OUT THERE IS CRAP because they lack the ability of Da Vinci, or those from the Renaissance time...
You are a piece of crap, just saying. If you can call someone else crap, then you open yourself to have it fired back at you.
Lang Lang is incredible. When I got his autograph the other day after an amazing performance, that's all I could work up the nerve to say to him. It's like God poured magic into his fingers!
This lantern-faced bastard should be made to sign the Music Offenders' Register and report to a proper western music teacher at least once a week. What he does isn't merely eccentric - in musical terms it's utter carnage!
hes amazing, your a fucking retard to chirp someone who has a talent, unlike you, you probably have nothing and are talent less

Like the quality of sound produced from him is exceptional, and the touch is also next to perfect.
But this is not beethoven.
Upto 0:55 its still acceptable, but afterwards he added a rubato on it WTF. Rubato on that tense moment.
That is Chopin/Schumann stuff.
