Why do so many people comment on his facial expressions? He is simply expressing his burning passion for his art!
Yes, he is playing with passion with His whole being, wonderful!
Pls check out the now 11 -12 year old child pianist Alexandra Dovgan, when a bit younger she Also "played" a lot with mostly her face AND also body, just like Lang Lang coming from their hearts.
Wyz TheBest well no one does
there is no hate. No one said anything about facial expressions.
No, no one said anything
Yeah. Most professional pianists makes unique facial expressions
Franz Liszt, Piano Concerto No.1 in E flat major
0:29 I. Allegro Maestoso
5:51 II. Quasi Adagio
11:01 III. Allegretto Vivace - Allegro Animato
15:12 IV. Allegro Marziale Animato
Although Liszt No.1 is never my top favorite piano concerto and although Lang Lang is never my top favorite pianist of these days, I cannot help but to live on this Proms performance 11 years ago...
?
His name is so nice you have to say it twice.
I think Lang Lang *_likes you_*
Ling ling ling ding ding
Goof K Why aren’t you practicing??
Lang Lang name is to long long
Just like New York New York so good they named it twice, I love it...
What`s funny is seeing all this haters talking shit about Lang Lang`s interpretation but seem to forget that Lizt was an entertainer in his time. I`m really sure he had crazy expresions too. Let`s not forget he was considered a star in that time, kind of like Bart Simpson when he was portrayed as Mozart.
Women used to throw panties on stage during Liszt's performances..oh, wait...that was Elvis.
Actually, as you mention, Liszt was a mega star, and played to the women in the audience. Smart man.
Lisztomania was an actual thing. People used to faint at his performances much like they did at The Beatles's
Oh Liszt had facial expressions alright and much more! By all contemporary accounts, Liszt was a showman of the first order, and if he could juggle swords while playing La Campanella, he would have gladly done so, just to add more pizzazz and vow-factor to his presentation. Of course, Liszt is almost universally regarded to have been THE greatest pianist ever, and yet Lang is being condemned for a bit of showmanship. Ah OK, I see how that works. If anyone finds LL's facial expressions distracting, then simply close your damn eyes and listen to the music, which should be the only thing that matters anyway. And yes, I do find LL's expressions distracting, but my eyelids work, and I cannot deny that he's a virtuoso pianist of the very highest caliber. I agree with you, and people should either listen or sod off.
@@georgechadwick8642yeah. There's an account of women pulling at each others hair till they bled in Berlin in like 1841 or 2 at one of his performances
@@georgechadwick8642 That's definitely true
the ad during the concerto kills everything.
Ikr
Truly Disgusting
DISGUSTING I was so man
He is fabulous! Who, of us earthlings, can criticise a genious. Can you play like that?
I agree with the commentator: he may be flamboyant, but I love his energy and enthusiasm. Does a lot to show all ages that classical music is a JOY.
The way he flows his fingers across those keys like its nothing...and with so much emotion like he's telling a story... Absolutely amazing.
Yes, he is so unique, amazing, playing brilliantly with His whole being
And remembering all those notes,,amazing
My compliments to this orchestra. It was a superb accompaniment to a super pianist.
There is nothing wrong with Lang Lang's facial and body expression. He is just smart and talented enough to play piano while doing his daily work-out.
+Hugo Woods Looks quite ridiculous and kitsch though. Reaching such a level of steadily made-up emotion must be exhausting.
I think he is totally natural as a performing artist, sharing his emotion unreservingly with the audience.
His ling ling workout 👀
I had to listen to Lang Lang play it twice - I was too entranced the first time by his emotions and his facial expressions - his playing moved me to tears. How gifted he is, how lucky to be so blessed. And how special he is - such talent, such talent that defies words. Thank you , thank you Lang Lang
Natalie van den Blink He's not "lucky" or "blessed"- he's a human just like the rest of us who happened to dedicate a lot of time and effort into one thing :')
Natalie van den Blink l
Talent and hours of practice created a masterful pianist.Lang Lang please take care not to overexert the tendons in your fingers,we want you to be around for years to come.
Come on people!! Enjoy the music!! He's enjoying himself and entertaining you. What's the harm in that? If an artist can't enjoy what he does then what's the point of doing this and making it his life?
+Sven Bouapha too right!!
+Sven Bouapha You're on TH-cam, what do you expect?
You áre so right, Sven. He is living this lovely music with His whole being, enjoying himself like a child, with an innocence of a child.
His Is so natural, so at ease with himself AND the world.
there is no hate. No one said anything about facial expressions.
His playing feels like he is also conducting and making love with the piano.And I couldn't help but smiling (with joy). He is definitly one of a kind.
Lang Lang you are wonderful your piano playing is marvelous, as piano player myself
anyone here who is making negative comments know nothing about this great musician or classical music
keep up the great work lang lang we love you ....
biblitheracy whatever they say, lang lang is a good pianist. He has done a great job and also he will.
@@user-rn6jn6bm3w well said he is a virtuoso and we can see that...I love his tribute to two of his musical heroes Liszt in the first place and Horowitz due to his minimalist playing in some passages
Honestly, I think that he really is feeling the music. He makes faces, but that just shows he is expressing who he is through the music. This is very impressive to me, because so many pianists I've seen are stone-faced and almost look bored. Lang Lang shows passion where so many others do not.
You áre so right, he is so natural, playing like a child from His whole being. How refreshing after some
Too serious pianist with great technique but not real passion.
Stone-faced? Bored? Have you never witnessed piano recitals by serious-minded artists? If you have, did the absence of smiling, grinning, winking, and fairy-like arm motions make a negative impression on you? Did they, as a result, show no passion, no feeling, no expression, as far as you were concerned? Well, I regret to say that you're one of thousands who've been duped into thinking that Lang is the "real deal", when in fact he's first and foremost the most arrogant, bizarre, calculating entertainer before the gullible public today!
But hey - - go ahead and enjoy! The worst thing that could happen would be that he might someday outgrow and shed his showy antics, and turn into a respectable, stone-faced pianist. Oh my, whatever will we do then?
I like how he makes it look as if it is a walk in the park :-D
For those who dislike his facial expressions; close your eyes because he clearly knows where the musical juice in a piece is.
It's just music people! Just because it is classical doesn't have to mean it can't be entertaining.. he enjoys himself and I enjoyed hearing it and seeing him.
Btw his facial expressions often reflect what's going on in the music, so I disagree with those who say he does it merely as a trick to entertain.

"His facial expressions often reflect what's going on in the music". Now, just how do determine that the faces he makes are a reflection of the musical content? It would seem to me that this is highly subjective at best. I think it's far more likely that he's pretty shrewd regarding the "transfixing" effect he has on his audiences with all that wistful gazing, unrestrained smiling, and of course that oh-so-graceful hand/arm wafting about. Viewers are enraptured by this alluring (I almost typed 'lurid') behavior, this cherubic face, this entire "persona" he has so painstakingly established. It's only too obvious, for shit's sake, that this guy is an entertainer - - one who knows unfailingly how to connect with his audiences, no matter how extreme his trick (to use your word) at the moment might be.
Tell you what: If you have a strong stomach, check out the video of Lang's Rachmaninoff 3rd concerto. If you manage to watch all the way to the end (I've tried, but didn't make it), ask yourself, after you've picked yourself off the floor, if you sensed a connection between his completely off-the-wall shenanigans and 'what seemed to be going on in the music'.
I'd love to hear from you again.
@@richardvolpe7664 not to be mistaken with the other thousands of Richard Volpe's..
"Now, just how do determine that the faces he makes are a reflection of the musical content? "
That's easy Richard, there are soooo many elements that you can hear in pieces of music.. ; e.g. rhythm, tempo, harmony, melody... harmonic rhythm.. and a performer can use all sorts of personal inflections regarding phrasing, timing, dynamic shading, accents, emphasis, sense of coloration etc etc. And what can be heard can also be manifested in facial expressions of an artist.. but this shouldn't come as a surprise, it's inevitable..
if you think Lang Lang is too much, take a look at pianist Pierre Laurent Aimard.. he's known for being an advocate of modern music... and oblique as modern music can sound.. his facial expressions are also revealing of what's happening in that type of music.
What I think is "far more likely" than what you suggest - Lang's facial expressions not matching his playing - ... is that you are musically illiterate, have never touched an instrument..or cared to actually get good enough at it that you think you were able to express emotions with it, let alone inviting others - with your playing - to speak of talent... or offering entertainment value with it....leaving you to be snobby and bittered.
You don't like Lang Lang, we get it.. and it's fine. I wish you well and hope you enjoy the incredible amount of pianists/musicians that are out there strutting their stuff.
You say rhat what can be heard can also be manifested in an artist's facial expressions. Excuse me, but this statement is one of the most profoundly preposterous things I've ever heard. No, I haven't heard the French pianist you mentioned, but I've heard recitals by Horowitz, Rubinstein, Hough, Hamelin, Ashkenazy, Arrau, Dichter, Gieseking, Wild, Serkin, Janis, Weissenberg, Pollini, Schiff, Firkusny - - maybe you're faniliar with some of them.
In all these cases, so-called connections between face and music were not to be seen. Must be, then, that the absence of facial expressions meant that their musical interpretations were flat, expressing little to nothing?
If, as I suggested, you did watch the video of Lang's Rachmaninoff 3rd, it had to hit you like dynamite that his outlandish circus exhibition should go down in classical performance history as perhaps the most shocking, freakish display ever seen on a concert stage. And don't tell me he was expressing inner emotions! Visual memories of this outrageous demonstration are likely to haunt me for years to come as I'm listening to this concerto.
Musically illiterate? Not if you consider that I have a Masters degree in music literature and performance from one of the country's finest music schools, and that I've taught at the college level and privately for 33 years. With orchestra, I've played 15 concertos by Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Saint-Saens, Beethoven, Prokofiev, Gershwin, Weber, Mozart and Bach.
I don't admit to being snobbish, and the only bitterness I harbor has to do with the curious fact that audiences persist in their fascination with this - - this Liberace on steroids.
I can see that half of comments are here Lang Lang's facial expressions and body gestures , this mean to me that his popularity more in rising as great pianist and success !!
+Luke Joe, Well said!!!
His skills are so incredible that he is just playing on the piano instead of playing the piano. He reminds me of a child who is a bit mischievous but with such joy he is totally into his game. A pleasure to watch. Bravo!
No doubt about it: Lang Lang is a star of the first magnitude. Yes, he is flamboyant as the woman says, but he also puts a punch into his performances that very few pianists can match just by virtue of the sheer enjoyment he derives not only from playing the music but also making the crowd incapable of stopping themselves from enjoying the music as well. Also notice at 5:40 the swell at the beginning of the chromatic scale ending the 1st movement. I've never heard a pianist do this. It's these little touches combined with just great technique that makes him a really popular and, sorry you Lang Lang-haters, a great performer in the classical world today. --J Joe (also a composer of a piano concerto no 2 in c minor)
Well put, J Joe Townley.
John Uscian Thank you, John. I'd also like to add that another part of LL's magnanimous spirit is how he mentors young gifted pianists age 8-14. There are many videos of him here holding jr. master classes in which he listens to a child play and then if they are gifted he takes them under his wing and guides them through their studies. He's truly a "good" person with a heart of gold and a love of music that I rarely see in the classical music industry today.
@@JJTownley_Classical-Composer that Is so obvious that he is a good man with a great childlike, innocent, generous heart. A truly beautiful spirit!! AND a genius pianist. So likeable, Natural, at ease with himself AND the world.
The coolest thing is how he is obviously totally enjoying the excellent sounds he his creating, in a seemingly completely relaxed and arrogance-free way.
There are so many comments of people saying not to hate his facial expressions that I can't even find one comment saying that they are wierd
Very true lol
He acts like he wrote it. Even invents two extra chords at the ending
@@Bigapple111 I personally see nothing wrong with a pianist truly owning a piece, other professionals do it all the time
then I guess Yuja Wang was just tired at the end of this performance th-cam.com/video/B0TOvZ5U7nM/w-d-xo.html @@richardvolpe7664
Words fail me. How can words truly describe how wonderfully he plays, feels the music deep in his soul and interprets it so perfectly. Such a wonderful touch he has. Having watched him on Parkinson's Masterclass I saw a charming, handsome and humorous young man, just two days older than my daughter... as for his facial expressions, many classical artists do that as they are caught up in the emotion and passion of the piece they are playing. There is no doubt that Lang Lang really feels what he is playing. For me he is the best pianist I have ever seen.
Say what you like, and although not the norm, there's no denying how well he plays. @@richardvolpe7664
@@richardvolpe7664He didn’t grin throughout, but Andre Watts was known for making faces while he played.
@@kevinm6790 You're right. Watts apparently couldn't play without making grotesque facial contortions, particularly the quivering lip action. Now while Lang's facial expressions aren't grotesque (except, of course, at the climax of the "ossia" cadenza in the 'Rach 3rd' and throughout Rhapsody in Blue), they do instill in countless viewers an uneasy feeling of 'squirmy' embarrassment. As I've said elsewhere, his playing is often good enough on its own, not in need of all his "watch me!" theatrics which, aside from their mesmerizing effect on many impressionable viewers, end up cheapening his image to an ever -growing number of observers.
@@richardvolpe7664 But unlike Lang Lang, I actually liked Andre.
Lang Lang is the most colourful virtuoso pianist - personality before the public today. A most splendid and individual performance of the Liszt first concerto in decades. You have to go back to Mischa Levitzki, Cherkassky, Francois and Cziffra for such 'interpretive' style pianism. Bravo!
piano345 he is the greatest ,if you don't get him. I feel sorry for you. Treasure what we have.❤️❤️
You áre absolutely right. From the moment he started, he took my breath away, i knew i was un the presence of a genius, someone unique, special.
Sergei Yerokhin Liszt 1 is fantastic too
th-cam.com/video/o3mPwb5ujSM/w-d-xo.html
When one looks at Lang Lang you re not seeing him at all. What you are seeing is the passion for a delicate passage or even a bit of humour when he gives that wry "cheeky'" smile. Look at him more closely and see the humour, passion and the serious side. I often think he is "playing' with the music and not just playing because he has to. He injects some form of pathos humour and seriousness all in one. Brilliant all round pianist.
I know right! It's so horrible how people are showing their jealousy through extremely negative comments ;(
I feel you explained this idea perfectly. That's exactly what I always thought he did while playing
He is really good.
So true. I only knew his name before, but now i can see that he‘s not overrated/overhyped. He‘s just really good.
Sergei Yerokhin Liszt 1 is fantastic too
th-cam.com/video/o3mPwb5ujSM/w-d-xo.html
I am brought to tears. He has proven that he has reached the spiritual. Thank you, Lang Lang, for your humility that has led to greatness. I bow before you and the ethereal that you have come to earth to represent. I am humbled by the brilliance that comes forth from you. Thank you for you own humility.
God - - here we go again with this "humility" business! This showman has many characteristics, but humility decidedly isn't one of them. That self-adoring smiling, the sultry looks of sensual ecstacy, the air of arrogant smugness - - if these are signs of humility, then my understanding of the word is way off. I guess being 'brought to tears' and 'bowing before him' are OK, but it might be a good thing for you to re-think your perception of Lang's 'humbleness'.
WTF 7:22 I don't remember writing in the score that someone should get whipped with a leather belt during this little intermezzo!
LOL hahahahah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You got an awesome sense of hearing
+LisztyLiszt If you look closer at the score it actually says to knock a stand over
+LisztyLiszt totally ruined my favorite passage...
Haha! I totally love this comment!
One of the greatest pianist in the 21st Century.
for Lang Lang to perform this piece so well is truly amazing ...for Liszt to compose a piece like this is from another world !
Lang Lang's mannerisms or theatrics are all part and parcel of the way he expresses himself. There is nothing wrong about this. He has the constitutional right to freedom of expression, and he is effective in doing so. Lang Lang is worth over 20 million dollars and his fame is legendary - so its working for him. Lang Lang is very popular and people are drawn to classical music.
Note well that the great pianist Franz Liszt had exaggerated mannerisms that some thought as offense. However, he is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as being the greatest pianist ever!!!
Francis Fawkes q
I'd forgotten how much I love this piece. Gorgeous!!
Its 2am. Everyone in the house is sleeping. Im working diligently to finish an essay that will get me kicked out of the class if left unfinished. Suddenly I come across this fellow and I am in tears at how hilarious he is.
Are you kicked out yet?
+Benli Cai Somehow managed to pull some magic out of my ass and finished the essay, although I literally got zero sleep that night.
All right Yamik, from now on we can all refer to you as "Magic Ass"
I have a friend who is blind, for some reason the only part of a piano concerto that interests him he perceives with his ears. I myself frequently listen to music with my eyes closed. I respect Lang Lang for what he is, a great pianist.
I like the way he and the Steinway can stand out above the orchestra at the end. Bravo, maestro!
he is on fire and luv to hear and watch him...
6:40 wow..
Hi
Absolutely brilliant, from the moment he touches the piano, one knows this Is a super talented, so likeable sensitive genius pianist who plays from his childlike heart which Is reflected, played in his body, face. He becomes the music AND Liszt soul.
Thank you, what a treat!!
A born performer. He loves to play and communicate with his audience and consequently they adore him. A great and unique talent.
WOW!! What an incredible performance from both Lang Lang and this orchestra! And I really like how he recognized the orchestra immediately after the end of this PC. And then bowed down himself. I don't care what anyone says about him, he's a humble, world-class musician immensely gifted with an almost supernatural ability to blow us away on the piano!
Oh my god! Did you say "humble?" Look and think again, for Pete's sake. This pretty-faced actor, with his extensive menu of facial (farcical?) expressions, is the music world's topmost spectacle of self-adoring arrogance. Can't viewers see that this shameless display of cloying, dripping sentimentality is an indispensable part of the show he's putting on? Without these squirm-inducing antics, Lang would just disappear into today's proliferation of Asian pianists. But, having a cuddly face, and learning how to use it, he's managed to win the hearts of thousands of admirers to whom it would never occur that he's ever-so-cunningly manipulating them, "blowing them away on the piano", as you say. So make no mistake - - he knows - - boy, does he EVER know, what he'$ doing!
amazing!!!!!!!! i play the piano and he's my greatest idol!!!!!
FROM 10:03 TO 11:00 IS MAGIC !!!!
+Jason Cathey LMAO GOLD!
So beautiful
A biit of a show off but he has every reason too, it stems from passion which just shows how great he really is.
Just like Lizst in fact. He's a perfect fit for this very circusy piece but it's wonderful to see a pianist whose technique is so superlative that he plays this concerto as if he were playing Chopsticks. He was certainly enjoying himself and that is very contagious.
newgeorge
This great piano player makes me hold on for dear life because the ride is incredible!
If one were to strip away the flash and ceremony, all the celebration that surrounds Lang Lang - one would be left with an outstanding pianist/musician. What a sensitive and insightful soul he is. A fan! :)
Why so much dislike ,where is problem ? I think his performance is perfectly .
Because some people want to get talents through their jealousy!
The most amazing thing is that no matter how hard the piece is, he makes it look so easy, truly astonishing!
Lang Lang demuestra nuevamente el privilegio de ser un elegido para deleitarnos y transportarnos con su magnífica interpretación de Franz Liszt. BRAVO POR ÉL
beatiful ...,very very very !! beautiful!!
Beatiful?
Enjoy watching this again and again. Soooo wonderfully performed!!!!
Thank God for LISZT... creating this masterpiece over 150 years ago. Truly extraordinary and light-years ahead of his time. And thanks for talented pianists, like Lang Lang and many others, for bringing Liszt's genius to life for our enjoyment. Beautiful performance. Bravo!
The man is a great master pianist, with still many years in front of him.
Looking at this guy play makes me feel at peace. He shows so much emotion into his playing, it just puts a smile on my face.
Sergei Yerokhin Liszt 1 is fantastic too

Happy 200th Birthday Maestro Franz Liszt your beloved music will endure throughout time....Only a true genius who has the understanding to grasp and view the many beautiful facets of life and his surroundings could have created such music.....we live such a short life take a moment to marvel what is around you...
Lang Lang you are wonderful pianist , congratulation
Utterly amazing. He has transcended beyond technique. HIs playing is so organic and emotional. Just amazing.
Franz liszt is truly a God
Lang Lang played Liszt's Piano Concerto with flare and brilliance, accompanied by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Edward Gardner, during the 2011 Proms.
Lang Lang representa uma das maiores expressões da cultura musical da atualidade.
Um jovem de extraordinário virtuosismo, cuja personalidade transcende e nos passa uma sutileza, a qual somente cabe aos verdadeiros arautos do divino.
Lang Lang representa a verdadeira juventude, responsável pelo um amanhã que canta.
All genarations Since 20.CC to 2024 " Adore " him. Simple, Fantastic, Magic. Thanks Lang Lang.
like is too weak a word! this is pure virtuosic music. He is the most energetic pianist I know!! (not personally, unfortunately!)
Sergei Yerokhin Liszt 1 is fantastic too

J'adore Litz !De plus interprété par mon Maestro préféré et adoré je n'ai pas de mots
How transcendent! And what a touch this talented artist has.
Watched this U Tube performance numerous times and enjoyed it every time , great stuff from L.L.
I love Lang Lang playing piano! He brings for me the Paradise on Earth! He himself looks as if he would come from Heaven,with an expression of innocence!Thank you!
he is a wonderful pianist, and plays Liszt and Chopin brilliantly with imaginative touches that are still in good taste. A live performance of the Chopin 2nd with Mehta elevated that concerto to near Rachmaninov status, IMO. He brought things to that performance that added so much. Let the man do his thing.
Sergei Yerokhin Liszt 1 is fantastic too

Gteat orchestra...
Thanks for posting.🙏😄
Lang Lang is inspiring to a lot of people. Technically brilliant, just think he is the best role model for the younger generation. How can anyone dislike him. He's done so music for classical musicians.
I had the pleasure to meet him in Toronto ,liszt Ferenc my hero concert,
My own view is that Lang Lang is in a transcendent state of mind and consciousness while executing music and is more or less unwitting of his facial and other gestures, tantamount to sleepwalking. That does not detract from, but reinforces his musicianship, interpretation and technique. Just observe his demeanour after the finale and taking the plaudits.
A "transcendent state of mind and consciousness"? That could easily describe Daniil Trifonov, but there's no doubt that Lang's facial and bodily gestures have been painstakingly planned to "connect" with his audiences. Put another way, he knows how far his smiling and 'arm display' can go in having an effect on his viewers. So it's more likely that they, not Lang, are in a trance.
Awesome, can't even count how many times I watched this!!
Mr. Liszt must be very proud of You!..John Rapp
so beautiful! I love Liszt, so full of feeling and delicacy
I want that piano for my apartment lol
HE REALLY ENJOY PLAYING THE MUSIC. THATS THE WAY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING .EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE SEÑOR LANG LANG. IF YOU EVER SEE THIS COMMENT.
To the person who said that Lang Lang is overrated, can you do any better?! He has undoubtedly one of the best technique in the world.
He is one of the best pianists in history. Joins the past greats like Rubenstein, Horowitz, Arrau, Edwin Fischer, Gilels, Richter, and modern day pianists like Yuja Wang and Evgeny Kissin.
This performance is an absolute treasure!!! Thank You...John Rapp
Oh my gosh, this is awesome. Must see him perform live.
Say what you want about him, Lang Lang blows the competition away. He puts Yuja Wang back in kindergarten on this piece. Absolutely spectacular playing AND showmanship. Truly inspiring.
what in hell do you think he's doing in this concerto that blows the competition away? Puts Yuja back in Kindergarten - - are you crazy? There've been scores and scores of pianists who've given wonderful performances of this over-played concerto, and they did it without all the stupid face-making and pretentious arm and hand displays - - what you call "showmanship", and what I declare it as the cheapest, most unprofessional theatrics imaginable. So contiue being 'inspired', but be aware that Lang's rendition is no more special than all the others.
Lang Lang is the perfect player for Liszt. Lots of technique and faux depths.
wonderful piece!
Liszt is genius, Lang Lang is too genius... Best piano concerto ever!
Mr. Lang is sharp, precise, and accurate on the keys! so beautiful..Thank You..John Rapp
He looks funny or not the expressions he has during performance Is simply his expression for music he play , if you really like his music , that funny face would' not bother you , he is only unique person got very unique gesture of his own music !! What is big deal about it ?? His brilliant technic skill and very accuracy for key board made him big star of today , if you want to become someone very successful you have to have something very special than ordinary isn't it ?????
Luke Joe Great comments, agree !
His face expression is music !!!!! Also he is listening to the orchestra closely, what a beautiful concert master, tearful duet with Lang Lang in the middle of the 1st movt ! He has the power to stirring up the orchestra ! 心潮澎湃的演奏。
For any amateur musician to suceed in the music sector they must have passion for music and must dig deep into the music and pour out their heart when perfoming as well as having a high degree of note accuracy and colour in their performance.
what a most beautiful performance. thank You..John Rapp
Glod Bless this man and this orchestra !!! He's a blessed man. AMÉN !!!
Why is he a "blessed man", just because he's playing one of the most common concertos in the pianists' repertoire"?
@@richardvolpe7664 No. Because he plays with feeling and precisely. He knows how to interpret each piece.
So do all those other pianists. You don't think they play with feeling and precision?@@AllexBessa
@@richardvolpe7664 I think you are a chinese hater
He gave this piece life. This is exactly how Liszt would've intended it.
His hands are so beautiful
Lang the "bang bang" Lang is perfect for this job, even Kharitonov cannot beat him.
what a most beautiful and awesome performance..thank you so much!..John Rapp
What a most beautiful performance, thank you...love you ...John Rapp
DISLIKERS if u guys hate it that much and his expression then I dare you to play something even better or just as good with an even better expression.

once again, ...what most beautiful concerto...such precision..thank you..John Rapp
