Lang Lang (piano)

[ Deutsche Grammophon / 2 CD ]

Release Date: Sunday 1 June 2008

"Lang Lang's interpretation was pure as water. I almost thought that I had written this work for him, although he hadn't been born then." Tan Dun on Lang Lang

"Lang is an uncommonly gifted pianist, with a flair for flamboyance at the right moments ... Lang's hands flew up and down the keyboards in a stunning display of virtuosity ... The crowd loved it ... this is an important pianist breaking out with a vibrancy that rivets audiences."
Lang Lang, Concert review / Carnegie Hall, The Asscociated Press, 09 Nov 2003

"Lang Lang's interpretation was pure as water. I almost thought that I had written this work for him, although he hadn't been born then. I heard the voice inside of me in his playing; I could smell the earth of my homeland. It is a real gift when a musician can play a piece that inspires me to think about where I came from, where I am going. Lang Lang is a poet and has magical powers: he could tell an unending story. In his storytelling, I hear the voice of the human soul and the silence of nature. I do believe Lang Lang is one of the most outstanding pianists of our time."
