@SadisticPyro D'you know, I know exactly how you feel! I just read this autobiography of Martin Luther King and I can't tell you how racist it was. Do you know, it kept alluding to the fact that he was a black man over and over again? I mean, how racist is that?
-
Are you serious? Your comment is utterly illogical.
1. I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally dislike Lang Lang's interpretation of this piece. It has NOTHING to do with race. How many times do I have to defend myself? In fact, I like Jun Lin's rendition of Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 better than Horowitz's. It's about the pianist, not about race.
2. If you still think I'm racist...Guess what, son? I'm Asian. And I still don't like Lang Lang. :)
-
No, I'm not. I don't like Lang Lang's interpretation of the piece; it doesn't mean I'm racist. Race is irrelevant when it comes to music.
-
How can anything I say be construed as racist? Race is irrelevant to music. Perhaps you're the one that's prejudiced, since you made 15 comments about Lang Lang being Asian.
-
@SadisticPyro maybe you are just racist?...
-
The audio for the orchestra is excellent!!
-
is this a piano or a hammer?

Left hand got the better of him.

@phi223
Music functions in the realm of the subjective - if I don't like a pianist's interpretation, then I don't think s/he played the piece well. Obviously I can't deny that he played this to technical perfection - but praising a piano virtuoso for technical skill would be like praising a novelist for "perfect spelling and grammar".
For musicians, especially ones at Lang Lang's "level", technical skill is only the bare minimum. Beyond that, artistry is what determines how well they play.

@SadisticPyro Great comment, - it does have nothing to do with race, and I fully agree Jung Lin plays the Liszt HR2 better than Horowitz. BTW Jung Lin's Rachmaninoff, especially her Rach 3rd, is also surreal in technique and musicality - it's like hearing Rach himself :-)
IMO the all-time Rachmaninoff interpreters have been Rach himself, Gilels, Horowitz, Moiseiwitsch, Alexis Weissenberg (have you heard AW's Rach 2nd with the Berlin?) - and now it's Argerich and Jung Lin :-))
