It's funny how I always see these Lang Lang haters on every video coming in here and saying he's bad or a terrible musician with no real good reason. The guy spent his childhood playing 8+ hours a day and has become a world class pianist. He does workshops at almost every big music university in the world, and he doesn't voluntarily go there, they request him to come there... What you should be saying is that you don't like his interpretations, but I don't think you get any right to say he's bad.
The Lang Lang haters are either ignorant or jealous.Lang Lang is still growing musically however, but he was born with a mechanism the likes of which this world has only seen a handful of times.
There must really be some outstanding teachers out there, to have produced such amazingly talented and passionate students. They really highlight our Australian piano spirit! It's fantastic
@marce11o Oftentimes a masterclass can demonstrate to a student that the student can occupy a much larger ( or more focused) expressive space than they currently do. Its the equivalent of taking somebody who is assuming they only have a shoebox to work in, and walking them into an aircraft hangar and saying " All this is yours. You can do what you like with it." The master doesn't own it. He plays in that space. Going there doesn't compromise the student's individuality. It can enhance it.
Its ok to be taught how to express a particular passion when you are in learning stages, the masters words are valuable. When you understand how to express passion on the piano and can sing it from your heart via your hands and piano, it is here where you no longer need to be told how to play something because that product is your interpretation.
@marce11o The point of a masterclass is to be coached and given advice from the perspective of a more experienced individual. You will notice in performances and recordings of repertoire across all instruments there is a very general correlation in interpretation. This comes from generations of coaching, MASTERCLASSES, and knowledge dating back to the pieces eras. It is more so constructive advice than a command. Being helped with interpreting a piece("being told") has matured my playing by far.
@marce11o The very general outlined interpretation is what you will across all recordings by virtuosos, each personalized by their characteristic playing. What you get form masterclass is different because it is you in the flesh playing not you imitation a recording. I don't know about you but every virtuoso, professional musician, and collegiate player that I've known has conducted or has benefited from a masterclass. Obviously they are doing something right.
Record yourself. Be your own adjudicator. Its not sports. Music enjoyment is subjective. Academic authorities don't even agree on a given professional recording artist. It basically comes down to the question of why do I play piano and who is this for? Masterclasses thwart individuality. Its an exercise in power, control, collectivism. You don't need it but if you want it that's your choice. You can teach technique but expression comes from you.
@marce11o I don't see the object of the masterclass as copying the master or mimicking the master's expression. Even so, as long as you are grounded in your own sense of self there's no harm in trying out somebody else's way of doing things. We do this as we grow and learn anyway. We pick the things that resonate with us. I might disregard some of LL's interpretation yet still choose to embody his playfulness.
lang lang is pretty cool. before i saw these vids i thought hes some old kinda guy but he appears actualyy very fresh n funny, though his nerdyness is quite obvious :-P
@xHuntedGunzPCGx Whatever. Music making is very personal. Figuring out how to phrase something should be your own private joy. Who's interpretation is the standard? What you get from masterclasses you could get from listening to recordings you like but with out the condescension. Why do we play music? To play for who?
wuoo YO KISIERA QUE LANG LANG FUERA MI PROFESOR DE PIANOO ... MI PROFESOR ME ENSEÑO COSAS IMPORTANTES PERO NECESITO MAS AYUDA PARA PODER SER UN PROFESIONAL Y HACER DE TODO CON EL PIANO ... Q DIOS TE BENDIGA LANG LANG
@marce11o I am having difficulty understanding where you are coming from. Having live interaction with a fellow musician is such a more unique event. Much different than simply plugging in to Naxos. It is unfortunate that you see the situation that way. Every virtuoso, musician, and professional musician I have known has attended, learned from, and/or conducted a masterclass. They must be doing something right.
the first girl is more of a technique issue. she's just too young to play like a proper pianist. she can play that song, but the clarity is not there. if you hear a professional pianist play it's quite obvious and technique just doesnt come in one day
Age does not matter with the piano, the nain fact is that she has a brilliant talent and people shouldn't put her down for being 'too toung'. Im a grade 8 pianist and had scholarships all around the U.K and have taught masterclasses and I'm only 15, she only looks say, 2-3 years younger? Maybe even older so my point still is standing of, age doesn't make you a better pianist, if you have the right feelings towards playing the piano and have the courage to start to play it (and definitely at her standard of a grade 8 piece) then you, and only you, can be as great as a pianist as you want, but until you have that moment, you will never be one. That's my perception of this.
+johannsebastienbach I believe Lang Lang was noticing an esthetic quirk in her playing -- the break or pause, which happened two or three times in this brief excerpt -- that would come to be problematic in her later concertizing. I found it an unpleasant idiosyncrasy -- possibly the girl's attempt to carve out a unique style -- that Lang Lang was right to pounce on.
I really hate the second guy. He's so arrogant with his bow tie. The main reason he annoyed me was because he said hes from East South Wales which is near Gundaguy (?). Who the hell knows where Gundaguy (?) is?

if the hater cant play better the hater should shut
well bad is purely subjective, so if you don't like someone technically you can say it's bad
Lang Lang is just stunning critical thinking, performer, teacher with heart and soul and humor and warmth and love!
Im impressed how they can understand what he says..
DADDADADADADADADADADADAAAAA
I loved it, the kids were wonderful and Lang Lang was such a good teacher! I absolutely loved it. It couldn't be just better. :)
There must really be some outstanding teachers out there, to have produced such amazingly talented and passionate students. They really highlight our Australian piano spirit! It's fantastic
This guy is crazy. But i love him.
Love Lang Lang as the Pride of Chinese and bring people together through his amazing music beyond the ocean and time ...
Lol he's definitely not afraid to be expressive. It's enlightening to see how passionate someone can be about music
Oh, yes! beautifull. Great Lang Lang
the 3rd pianist is very good.. lang lang was.. a little big hungry :D
The third piece is Sonetto 104 del Petrarcha by Liszt.
Sean Keel * Petrarca!

Fantaisie Impromptu... Brilliant!
Gundagai is in the state of New South Wales, of which Sydney is the capital. It takes less time to find that out online than to type your comment.

fantasie impromptu is so nice :, )
Wonderful!!!
Congratulations Lang Lang you are a Master with a lot of patience. 🎉❤

Lang lang vs ling ling who wins?
I like!
Please let us know how it went!

Tengo una duda enorme con Lang Lang... me pregunto...¿¿se peina con una aspiradora o con un choque eléctrico...??
+Mauricio Hildolfo Wilson Jarpa quizá se peina con tu ignorancia, que es mas chocante que todo lo que has mencionado.

GRANDIOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!
esplendido
I just figured out what love is and I didn't even take the class.
Yo voy ahi le toco unos punteos de Nestor en Bloque y el Lang Lang queda flasheando jajaja
wuoo YO KISIERA QUE LANG LANG FUERA MI PROFESOR DE PIANOO ... MI PROFESOR ME ENSEÑO COSAS IMPORTANTES PERO NECESITO MAS AYUDA PARA PODER SER UN PROFESIONAL Y HACER DE TODO CON EL PIANO ... Q DIOS TE BENDIGA LANG LANG
Who's FlyingBanana1024102?
Good on u :)
how was yr lesson with him ? :)
Please, does anyone know what is the name (or author) of the third piece?
I'm wanna know the same.. Go and show the video to your teacher. Once you know, come back here, and tell me..
it should be call lang lang class
I like how lang lang was phraising and all, but those kids play like robots, no feelings what so ever..

@marce11o I don't disagree
How is the first piece called?
Leonard Michel fantasie impromptu by Chopin
the first girl is more of a technique issue. she's just too young to play like a proper pianist. she can play that song, but the clarity is not there. if you hear a professional pianist play it's quite obvious and technique just doesnt come in one day
Age does not matter with the piano, the nain fact is that she has a brilliant talent and people shouldn't put her down for being 'too toung'.

That's my perception of this.
Luke Gardner i do not object. just more practise will make it. but you do realise the difference in the sound produced by just hearing it
Maybe, she doesnt want to play like a professional pianist.....maybe she want to play only
+johannsebastienbach I believe Lang Lang was noticing an esthetic quirk in her playing -- the break or pause, which happened two or three times in this brief excerpt -- that would come to be problematic in her later concertizing.

Alexandra Dovgan
1 criterion: azn.
lang lang speaks english?
She's 12 years old, for christs' sake. She's in the right place to learn stuff. Give her a chance.
The girl is my friend :) I think shes amazing and she is not asian
Problem?
She is looks like Irena Koblar
Ok, he's decent but can he play jingle bell with one finger ?
Classical music is basically an asian thing nowadays
@migaugo petrach sonnet 104
I think he means it's humiliating for us humans that have to study for quite a lot more than less than 12 years to get to the level to play that piece
12 yo with chopin's fantasie impromptu it's humiliating.
Never really liked this guy until now. I think you should play how you feel the music not how someone else feels it.
She is good enough ! you can't compare her to Asians!
kyokushinfighter78 😒
Fuck this comment
0:07 O wow he sold his soul to the devil well dam that’s a disappointment well I guess it make since now.
What do you mean?
Yep
That’s the calling card.
learnt a lot? it is so easy to say what he said, i could do it and i don't play piano
sam333 why the negativity? 😢
omg you are so, so wrong
Thank god Lang Lang doesn't sing!
How gracious of Lang Lang to give a master class on how NOT to play the piano.
Lang lang is the Most Overrated Pianist Alive.
He does not belong here.
Masterclasses are a complete waste of time. Who wants to be told how to play?
marce11o with a close minded view like yours, you don't ever have to play in one!
Those 12 years old chinese playing fantasie impromptu probably are forced, not enjoying music.
gooood lang lang is so bad at everything he needs to stop
You’re a bitch for thinking that because he plays at least eight hours a day and I bet you couldn’t do better
he ia the best pianist
I really hate the second guy. He's so arrogant with his bow tie. The main reason he annoyed me was because he said hes from East South Wales which is near Gundaguy (?). Who the hell knows where Gundaguy (?) is?
