guys dont be so harsh towards his facial expressions -.- it just shows that he is into the music and that he is genuinely enjoying the music! As a piano player myself, it actually makes me enjoy the performance even more, because you dont have to worry about the performer feeling nervous about the whole thing! If I had to choose between a performenr who shat themselves whenever they were on stage, and a performer who looks like they enjoy it, I WOULD COOHSE THE LATTER!!!!! :) just saying tho...

His face is hysterical! Here is a man communicating with the music he is playing, as if it were an old friend. Love it

[chumpy94]

for me, music is pretty much just another language. learning the notes on the music is like learning new vocab and meaning each time. performing is just like a speech. if he had no facial expressions howsoever, it's pretty much the same as a person giving a speech in a monotone type of voice. so don't make fun of his face while he plays. he doesnt fake it either. i'm a musician myself and people would make fun of my facial expressions too but i don't care, i don't wanna perform meaningless music

 Shame, If he was born a girl his facial expressions would be awesome. Just saying.

Reminds me how important pedaling skills are...

Oh, I guess to me "live" is used in pop music for performances that significantly differ from studio recordings: poor acoustics, audience making noise, lack of ability to layer the same artist's voice, no MIDI etc. This was recorded by professional mics carefully placed on the piano, dead silent audience, perfect acoustics, etc. In other words, this is how all classical recordings are made, so unless we want to call practically all classical cd's live, we shouldn't call some live.

@gvfarns Isn't it live? Could you elaborate?

[gvfarns]

Excellent performance and recording. Not sure I'd call it 'live' though.

Thanks for sharing.

This is a great interpretation. I like it! Let's talk about music not his facial expression. If you don't want to see him, you can scroll down, and just listen to the music.

@melkerr1 Many use facial expressions and grandiose gestures to help themselves feel the music or because the music is moving them so deeply. That being said, Lang Lang's facial expressions and movements seem very contrived.

[bayreuthstinkt]

@melkerr1 good musicians can express themselves through the music, they don't need to do it with fake drama faces. just saying..

if i was the director, I would have framed just the hands and not his fucking facial expressions
