@@darkphoenix7123 there are harder pieces, la campanella is not one of the hardest, piano conecerto 3 of rachmainoff is one of the hardest, like it is etude 6 paganini
As a pianist myself, I cannot stress enough how hard this piece is. Some techniques in it are just unbelievably difficult, and the way Lang Lang manages to play them beautifully with such ease absolutely boggles my mind.
Totally agree, I’m easily early advanced into advanced , 15 years experience, got the music for it, spend a few days on it and just could not get past some of the techniques.. it made me realise how good Liszt was and appreciate him more.. to be able to write and play something like that lol Lang Lang and others who can play this have really studied their shit
It's bananas the way he gracefully comes off of some notes, and how casually he leans into certain notes as if he's waltzing with the piano. He's mastered this piece. His body language suggests he's beyond comfortable playing this piece and that it's second nature to him.
I had no idea how freaking difficult parts of this is. I thought id be able to speed it up after a couple days 🤣 1 week and im still struggling working muscles i didnt know existed.
Lang Lang's style of playing doesn't always work on all pieces, but it works particularly well with Liszt, as Liszt was quite the drama performance piano artist himself. Good interpretation!
I have heard him play everything from Bach to Rachmaninov, dramatic concertos to meditative sonatas. All brilliantly played. He is truly one of the best pianist ever lived.
I'm blown away. I have no words to express how I feel after this performance. I've seen and heard dozens of variations and pianists play this, but this is on whole new level. Bravo ! Sadly, that I found out about Lang Lang only today. Better late than never.
Just look at him! He's always so chill and relaxed no matter what he's playing. He never gets stressed despite the difficulty or the action on the piece. And look at his face. He always has that face like _"I don't really know what I'm doing, but it sounds good."_ never have I seen a more relaxed piano player, and think of that: he's playing liszt!!
Well cuz it's not hard enough for these top pianists. He actually got quite tired after playing reminiscenes don juan, literally sweating a lot even during the piece
@@ediblebleaches1449 i dont know but i actually read 20 comments about haters but not one comment that came from a hater ... so many comments about nearly anything
what is so insane about this performance is that the song itself is extremely difficult to learn for many pianists. it can take months and months to play this song through at proper tempo with minimal errors. but then on top of all of that, after all of that time and frustration just getting to that point, you then are tasked with learning to play it like THIS, which is a completely different beast. the true potential of this song cannot be expressed if it is played like a calculator spitting out numbers - even if no mistakes are made.

meliodas sama, your an idiot, basically what he’s saying. And you probably don’t have a job so how are you going to afford all the attacking material and know never mind where where he lives. That’s probably why you can only say stupid things on the internet. And Lili sounds like a girls name. So how can that be gay
If this is how Liszt would have played the piece, he would have wrote it differently. Lang Lang always takes very unnecessary departures and rewrites of the score. Not a fan.
So much style and control. He's at ease riding one of the most vicious pieces on the planet. What I loved the most was the sheer brazeness in his technique taming such a beast.

Octave 11th Pianist Yes! It's exactly like sharing a meme or "thought germ" around the internet. It's harmless and it helps fill the original purpose of making people laugh.
When I was younger my mum once told me that she would buy me a Steinway if I ever played like Lang Lang. As a kid I was all like "Oh, you will regret this. Challenge accepted. Just watch me! " Safe to say I never did and never will 😂
this performance was so awe inspiring that i nearly forgot i had my mouth open three quarters through. seriously impressive piece played very well by Lang Lang. i could not contain my amazement and pure joy from seeing this recording
Franz Liszt was amazing. Lang Lang is the best of a generation and it's difficult even for him. The endurance it takes to play a song like this.... incredible. Love this performance.
His hands are moving so fast that even the light reflecting from them can't reach the camera's fast enough for us to see what is happening, creating a blur on the piano.
This is why Lang Lang is my favorite pianist. He can take pieces that are essentially just showing off difficult technical skills and make them expressive and beautiful. In my opinion that's more important than being overly concerned with lightening fast tempos and super technical playing, because in the end that's what music is for; to be beautiful and pleasant to listen to.
It seems like he's doing the opposite. He's trying to be even more of a show-off (not a bad thing in this case). but those unnecessary hand and head movements.. eek
@@marshan1226 he's overdoing it, taking away from his performance. It's distracting. Even listening to it with my eyes closed, I would say he would've been better focusing on the piece itself. He got carried away and it shows. Showmanship comes from actually delivering a piece, not by playing it up. There is a difference. I'm not saying he's a clown or he's bad, this is probably one of the top performances of this piece out there, still in 2021, but it's just a little conceited for me, and, for him, probably not as nuanced as he would have liked if he focused less on the crowd and in the music itself.
@@socringe2217 Yes I agree and I call that taste, but taste is also different and should be distinguished from the quality of the performance. I don't think this was Lang Lang's best, I think even he would agree it was a little sloppy -- not in terms of technique, but in terms of musicality.
He’s not just a piano player he’s a true artist with finesse he’s got bravado in his style and that’s what sets him apart. He’s there to show off his art not to just play.
I honestly think that all he does is play the piece but that he never does anything interesting with it. Comprared to most other pianists on that level he is really boring to watch since it’s all about the technical stuff and nothing about the music. Whenever he plays the piano I just get the feeling that he tries to show off. For example, have you seen his performance of rondo alla turca? Sure, it’s impressive but Also really boring since its all about speed and nothing else
@@holajesus9211 Excuse me, I just started getting into classical music and don't even own a piano but I noticed the part at 3:51 where Lang Lang goes into the main melody slower and its more distinguishable than Evgeny Kissin's playing of this song. Is that how the song originally is or did Lang Lang change it and Evgeny Kissin did not?
I mean WOW!!! This shows the level of achievement and intelligence our species is capable of. Not only to the writer of this amazing piece, and this gentleman that was able to play it, I give much gratitude for allowing my ears to hear it.
@@jonahlai6204 Well compared to guys like Franz Lizst, Frederic Chopin, Charles Alkan and Amedee Meureax, yep! He's a mortal. Liszt, for instance, could sight read some of Chopin's hardest pieces, WITHOUT EVER HEARING OR PRACTICING THEM BEFORE.
Damn! You can actually see see the keys bouncing (0.25x speed) after he hits them like they're on water.. absolutely insane detail.. Even the camera frame rate couldn't keep up with his hands.. Another thing i love is that the audio is perfectly in sync with the video.. Thanks for this..
I look at his hands. And I think - this is probably the only musician who can be "listened to" even without sound, just looking at his hands. Probably the best Campanella. Franz Liszt also listens to Lang Lang with us and smiles :) Peace to all ❤❤
Not every composer can preform as well as they expect their pianists to, lol. Ravel had trouble playing some of his more complex pieces, and would skip the third movement of his Sonatine because it was too technically challenging. That being said, I think it's even more impressive that Liszt was a virtuoso in both composing and playing, and I'd imagine he could play this piece as effortlessly as Lang Lang does.
Fredrick Shi oh really? Have you studied math? I don't want to debate on a piano video but getting good grades in eight grade doesn't mean math is "ez"
Fredrick Shi cool. Study math at uni then tell me how easy it is. High school calculus is nothing compared to uni stuff. I'm just in tenth grade myself but I'm studying at uni parallel to school and jesus this stuff is unbelievably difficult. I'm probably going to fail.
Incredible that we live in an age where I cannot only watch and hear one of history’s greatest pianists but also see their hands in exquisite detail while laying in bed.
you may hate lang lang, but you can't argue against the fact that his technique is phenomenal and he can play anything at will, at superhuman speeds and accuracy... personally i like him. his performance of rach 3 movement 2 on an UPRIGHT piano in the street was what made me fall in love with that movement...
Good technique? very funny. Maybe if he had good technique, he wouldn't be injured all of the time. For a real example of good technique, look at any video of Yuja Wang playing the piano. This is version of flight of the bumblebee that lang lang and his shitty technique would never be able to play at this tempo th-cam.com/video/8alxBofd_eQ/w-d-xo.html
i dont think anyone is promoting particularly ill feelings towards him; they are simply making (uneducated) jokes out of his performance behavior and technique
Eric Lee Piano sometimes lang lang plays a bit messy or muddies things down with pedal. he is a great pianist and showman, but sometimes the clarity is just not there. lang lang is not my cup of tea personally.
BRAVO!! Lang Lang Is beyond....way beyond in a class by himself. His finger work is wholly captivating, and his ease of emotional application is the icing on the cake!

No offense, but imo, I prefer this joke without the "Nobody:" format.

Lang Lang: La Campanella
Piano: no god please no, nooooooooooooooooo
Liszt: La Campanella
Piano: ( *dead* )
how about el contrabandista lol

ConquerNewWorld 2017 nooooo dumb stuff
He must have remodeled the piano.
Piano will explode at 4:10
I mean WOW!!! This shows the level of achievement and intelligence our species is capable of. Not only to the writer of this amazing piece, and this gentleman that was able to play it, I give much gratitude for allowing my ears to hear it.
Can't imagine the amount of practice behind this comfort in playing such pieces
Lang Lang : (dances)
Liszt: This mortal mocks me.
OMAMA JOHNPAUL hahaha very funny
So lang lang is mortal
@@jonahlai6204 Well compared to guys like Franz Lizst, Frederic Chopin, Charles Alkan and Amedee Meureax, yep! He's a mortal. Liszt, for instance, could sight read some of Chopin's hardest pieces, WITHOUT EVER HEARING OR PRACTICING THEM BEFORE.
OMAMA JOHNPAUL well, that's fair enough
@@omamajohnpaul4215 damn what the fuck
I can do the same as he is from 4:25 onwards
LMAOO
Lol
And that’s great
LMAO
hey atleast you can play the last chord
Damn! You can actually see see the keys bouncing (0.25x speed) after he hits them like they're on water.. absolutely insane detail..
Even the camera frame rate couldn't keep up with his hands..
Another thing i love is that the audio is perfectly in sync with the video..
Thanks for this..
If he was typing at this speed he’d write a novel in half an hour
2:55 he dances
Edit: don’t start a war in the replies
Vibe vibe vibe vibe vibe vibe
But he just vibin doe 😳
Bindiya Siribaddana shut up
Bindiya Siribaddana stop talking like a fortnite kid
ツMax how is that talking like a fortnite kid doe
3:56 absolute favorite part
Mine too
Mine too,. It’s the last vibrations for the main melody.👍
Agreed
Mines 3:20
Mine too
I look at his hands. And I think - this is probably the only musician who can be "listened to" even without sound, just looking at his hands.
Probably the best Campanella. Franz Liszt also listens to Lang Lang with us and smiles :)
Peace to all ❤❤
Holy cow the ease with which he moves his hands.
This looks like an incredibly hard piece and yet his technique is flawlessly smooth. Amazing.
1:34 absolutely love this. Look at how crisp he made that part sound. That's some next level articulation.
My jaw legit dropped when I saw that, the way his right index finger would double the lower octave was insane.
So relaxed
meglio Rubistain
Unbelieveble
@@Death_Raveas someone who is learning la campanella i would say it’s the hardest part or atleast in the top 5.
4:07 Hand.exe has stopped working
Pit 2x speed 😁
He did that on purpose
i just realised liszt could play evert liszt piece perfectly because he composed them. what a legend
Not every composer can preform as well as they expect their pianists to, lol. Ravel had trouble playing some of his more complex pieces, and would skip the third movement of his Sonatine because it was too technically challenging. That being said, I think it's even more impressive that Liszt was a virtuoso in both composing and playing, and I'd imagine he could play this piece as effortlessly as Lang Lang does.
The melody was composed by Niccolò Paganini.
Lang Lang is hero , his name should be shining in history ❤️❤️ , talent , and he is Amazing ❤️🔥 wish to see him in future ❤️❤️
0:28 He was just like "that hand lotion works really well"
this looks harder than math
Fredrick Shi oh really? Have you studied math? I don't want to debate on a piano video but getting good grades in eight grade doesn't mean math is "ez"
Fredrick Shi cool. Study math at uni then tell me how easy it is. High school calculus is nothing compared to uni stuff. I'm just in tenth grade myself but I'm studying at uni parallel to school and jesus this stuff is unbelievably difficult. I'm probably going to fail.
Fredrick Shi you too mate
This is math.
It probably is.
When you reach this level of skill the piano becomes an extention of your body , and that's so charming to me
The triple notes were executed perfectly!!!!
Fuck those are hard aye!
Technical ability is out of this world. Haters gonna hate.
Jesus how many redbulls did he drink before that
I’m late but one red bull for one note
Gamer •••• naaah, Only like 8 months and 26 or so days :)
Tygz Dk your right... see you in 7 years
Gamer •••• byyyee
And cocaine, lots of it... I'm kiding, hes just out of this word
Incredible that we live in an age where I cannot only watch and hear one of history’s greatest pianists but also see their hands in exquisite detail while laying in bed.
Imagine in the future. 50. Years from now we will be holograms by using glasses we will live the moment.
Absolute perfection. Without contestation, one of the most difficult numbers to master.
Anyone who will be watching this perormance over and over again in 2019?
You arent the Unique person who thinks classical music destroys actual and 20 Century music un general... :)
I'm from Argentina
Jep, for sure
@@mikecichello6580ehehe don't worry as long as someone carries the dream classical music won't die 14 y.o. from philippines
THE FUTUREEEEEEEE..... 2020 HERE I COME

I realized this is a piano provided to him.
Imagine what kind of experience his personal piano endured.
Oh snap
@@tteerabeats9116 th-cam.com/video/URx_l3mhMHw/w-d-xo.html
He owns multiple pianos
@@paraplu_2839 piano harem when one just cant handle the fingers
Fantastic is all I got! The talent, the hands, the knowledge, the feeling and the total control: just moving!
how is it possible that he plays it so easy? No nerve on his face is moving or in tension. I am amazed
Practice, practice, practice. It’s all.
4:12 me when all my tasks need to be done the next day and its nearly 12o clock
Me too.
I'm fucking crying LMAO
chineesloempia shame that you don’t do it at 2 am.
0:01 if you can play it slowly, 3:01 you can play it quickly

Salut Dan.
4:01 straight goosebumps, it's just so incredible
Un tema maravilloso. Lo adoro en demasía!!!!!❤
you may hate lang lang, but you can't argue against the fact that his technique is phenomenal and he can play anything at will, at superhuman speeds and accuracy... personally i like him. his performance of rach 3 movement 2 on an UPRIGHT piano in the street was what made me fall in love with that movement...
Eric Lee Piano I don’t care hat he plays on, as long as he plays, but the Steinway would be preferable!
Good technique? very funny. Maybe if he had good technique, he wouldn't be injured all of the time. For a real example of good technique, look at any video of Yuja Wang playing the piano. This is version of flight of the bumblebee that lang lang and his shitty technique would never be able to play at this tempo th-cam.com/video/8alxBofd_eQ/w-d-xo.html
Good Technic but bad interpretation of the piece. So it is too mechanical
i dont think anyone is promoting particularly ill feelings towards him; they are simply making (uneducated) jokes out of his performance behavior and technique
Eric Lee Piano sometimes lang lang plays a bit messy or muddies things down with pedal. he is a great pianist and showman, but sometimes the clarity is just not there. lang lang is not my cup of tea personally.
One of the greatest performances I've ever seen in my life,,,,that was really special....
Hello friend how are you today? Do you know you can earn weekly?
4:55 What an heart, he even bowed to the curtains !
BRAVO!! Lang Lang Is beyond....way beyond in a class by himself. His finger work is wholly captivating, and his ease of emotional application is the icing on the cake!
