Lang Lang - Liszt-Horowitz Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2

I've seen my video on youtube before, it was taken off of google. on that note.

I'm the camera man, those are my whistles at the end :D This video was taken on April 11th 2006 at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas. Lang Lang gave an oustanding performance with typical Langlangesque gestures.. His Mozart sonata was flawless..

This is Lang Lang playing the Horowitz arrangement of Liszt's 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody, enjoy!

p.s those of you who think that the crowd was "mocking" Lang Lang by snickering at him clearly don't understand the comedy behind why we were chuckling. it was because he had just come off this HUGE torrential wave of music into a small petite sounding melody.. i'd like to see ANY of you play this arrangement.

if you can, i'll eat my words.

liszt will wake up and kill him

[picklefreak5142]

he deserves it all. He's amazing.

The worst interpretation of this piece by any virtuoso pianist ever to have played the piano.

[mariavast0203]

he plays wonderfully but i think the moves he does are excessive...!

[molendijkarie]

Lang Lang doesn't understand one note of the piece. He is outstandingly terrible. Compare this to Marc-Andre Hamelin and you'll what I mean.

The music critic for the Los Angeles Times once wrote that Lang Lang has to decide if he wants to be a great pianist or Liberace. This video is some evidence he has chosen the path of Liberace. Technique to burn but showmanship does not equal musicianship. For great interpretations, listen to Horowitz or Jorge Bolet.

Maybe he's a very good pianist, but the way he plaes is not beautiful. It's just the thinking of FASTER FASTER FASTER no soul. I mean if ur prominent ... ok.. u can do what ever u like, but its just crap. For all the ones woh adore him and think I shouldn't listen to his songs I say: If u wanna make ur own opinion about what's good or not u have to hear them all to decide!

Lang Lang, look no further, the human midi file. Haha, what a joke of a musician. His technique might be unrivaled, however, the musicality is none existent.
