In November 2013 Lang Lang returned to London's legendary Royal Albert Hall for two recitals that sold out within 48 hours of tickets being released.
This 120 minute film captures the complete recital and offers an opportunity to re-live an unforgettable concert experience.
He finished a celebrated two-part program consisting of Mozart and Chopin with no less than eight encores, breaking Evgeny Kissin's record of encores at the RAH.
The three early Mozart Piano Sonatas have been part of Lang Lang's latest recital which he presented live in more than 200 concerts worldwide - the recordings that were captured at his RAH concert are also part of the new Mozart album.
Besides the Mozart Sonatas, Chopin's Four Ballads were part of the regular program.
