Lang Lang, at 28, is a phenomenon unique in the world today: "His enormous variety of colour and texture, of dynamic range and rhetorical gesture, is dazzling. He can sing and sustain a line, knows where to subordinate accompanying figures, and achieves a huge range of articulation." comments the BBC Music Magazine. The Chicago Tribune hailed him as "the greatest, most exciting piano talent in years"

This 2-CD set presents a new collection of Lang Lang's best Deutsche Grammophon recordings - Over 130 minutes of piano music full of virtuosity and emotion sure to please Lang Lang's fans and all music lovers alike.
