Rach appeared to be more self-conscious about playing his music, especially the concertos, than others'. I find him hurrying through the concertos, especially the Third at breakneck speeds, where in the Chopin Sonata he is pitch-perfect in everything. No finer rendition of it exists, including Horowitz's.

@lurgidbee Well, it's a mixed picture for "purists". Often Lang Lang doesn't seem to respect the music - I saw him play Rachmaninoff's piano concerto no#3, and he entered the orchestra at half their speed. That's just disrespectful to the other musicians at that point. He has a very liberal approach to the music, which doesn't seem malicious - it's just that he's indulging himself at all costs. Which leaves us torn, because that's what to love about his playing - how joyful and espressive it is.

@EdiEllerymissing Learn how to write and spell before calling others idiotic.

@lurgidbee Being a purist doesn't make you uptight. I consider myself somewhat of a purist, listen to music for pleasure, and sincerely dislike Lang Lang.

Rachmaninoff was more soft, but not as passionately as the pianists that plays the same piece today.

Lol. I really hate what Lang Lang represents for music and art, but I agree with you XD... it's bad for our health to stop by his videos and waste our time and billis in his nonsenses and stupid talk.

Lang Lang is a great admirer of Rachmaninov and talk about him. Just like you talk about you favorate teacher. What's wrong with that? Why all these hatelul reponses?
Do yourself a favor. If you hate him so much, don't come to any Lang Lang postings at all. It is bad for your health.

Also, music isn't about exactness, it is about expression, beautify and emotions; no two pieces when played sound the same nor are they meant to. They're a unique snap shot of the performers life where his emotions come through in the piece being played.

Non-purists, and those who listen to music for pleasure, find Lang Lang very good.
From the scathing, hateful comments, I gather that purists and other seriously uptight people despise him.

Speak for yourself, I like Lang Lang and I don't have a health - mental or physical - problem like you.
