Ironically, Horowitz is probably one of the most interesting pianists to watch because of the way he plays.
Yeah. it's amazing how he managed to play various colorful notes without any superfluous movements, just hands and fingers up and down.
Horowitz's technique is insane, it often looks like he's barely moving his fingers at all, yet the sound comes out so crisp and full
Agree
@@Franz_Liszt_Korean you agree everything
@@Mazeppa2568 I agree with you
I think its more impressive how lang lang manages to make it sound very good while banging his head
Tbh I disagree. I’ve never rlly been impressed by his performances or renditions / interpretations, they just miss the mark somehow. Also his movements are incredibly distracting.
@@aidandavis7657 that just means u only watched his bbc stuff where he focuses on entertainment instead of musiccality. his de don juan (carnegie hall version) is arguably the best interpretation of all time if not one of the best and most people can agree. try listening to it.
@@dragwn69 Once again, I still don't find him impressive. I've already listened to the piece u recommended (I wanted to see if my opinions for him would remain after the fact), and they did.
@@aidandavis7657 its not like you can play it better. Technically, if you cant find him impressive enough that means u have to be better than him no? If its just his movements that are making you say all these then just close your eyes and listen. If not, then i dont know what taste you have to say his de don juan is not impressive
@@dragwn69 “not like you can play it better” thank you for telling me, your intellect is leagues beyond mine I hadn’t noticed!! It isn’t just the visual, it’s just that I don’t like his renditions. I far prefer weissenbergs recording of rach 3. Just a preference
Lang Lang is Bugs Bunny of Piano world 😅
😂
Por un momento leí Bad bunny xd
哈哈哈😂😂😂，同感😂😂 I agree with you 😂😂 so funny
But very ugly
He is a clown
For me the only important thing
it's to play well, faces don't matter.
It's distracting
completely true sir... most of people complaining about Lan Lang are just frustrated mediocre pianists 😆😆😆
I@@breaktherule758 I don't see why frustrated pianists would criticize one more than the other. Lang Lang is unbearable to look at. He sure can play fast but...
@@madrigal1956 Lang Lang has a very vistuosistic print, ofcourse. But as I was saying, I doubt any of the ones that criticize so much his face expresions can just reach half of his interpretation quality 😆
@musete10 I do get your point. But in my opinion even someone who does not play the piano at all is allowed to judge a pianist. I don't particularly care for Lang's playing when just hearing it and I hate seeing him and his histrionics. Give me back Serkin, Arrau, Benedetti Michelangeli or Moravec any time, give me Pollini, Aimard, Grimaud, you name them (I restrain the list to some I have seen live)
Freedom of Art, psychological expression, and interpretation of music. Let hundreds flowers blossom
“Psychological expression” is an oxymoron …
well said
Do people MOAN& GROAN DURING CLIMAX?
Human emotions should all connect to reach Epic.
@@GourSmithyes actually he’s psycho or just too much
Horowitz is just saying he doesn’t do it/can’t do it. While Lang is not my favorite interpreter, he plays brilliantly and beautifully-he’s got a great Rachmaninoff in particular.
Lang Lang absolutely butchers 95% of pieces he plays. His Rachmaninoff interpretations are some of the worst offenders, so I’m not sure where “great” comes into it lol just listen to the way he bashes the living daylights out of this passage
☠️
@@JinTCJLany askers?
@@adriandudududui asked
@@JinTCJLhe is great, and will be remembered throughout piano history as such, because almost nobody else can surmount the passion he unleashes for the physicality and musicality of the instrument. I guess go back to listening to safe interpretations while squeezing the two drops of pre out of your peen.
Anyone who performs knows you cant (nor should) control how you experience or express yourself when you feel the music - and this is how it must be
Actually, you can.
It can be controlled, it just reflects how you were trained at an early age. In my opinion that type of expression is taught.
Not every musician does “the face”. A lot do, but not everyone and that’s okay. No roast was involved. He’s just saying he feels it differently when he plays as opposed to those who do the face
roast was involved alright, otherwise you wont do such comparison videos, there is no point, very disrespectful.
@@sophonblock76 To me this is obviously just meant as some good fun honestly, you're taking it too seriously. Nobody talked trash about Lang Lang's playing, he's just a different kind of performer.
@@LucBoeren I dont see people making fun and making memes of glenn gould now do we? while glenn gould make even more exaggerated movements than Langlang. its biased and disrespectful, admit it.
@@sophonblock76 well, maybe beacause gould is a tremendous interpreter (agree with his interpretations or not) and lang lang is shit. if he did the faces and played beatifuly ok, but his playing is always very unmusical (no, perfect technique is not all it takes for a good interpretation)
@@jorgeguimaraes8820 Lang Lang is still a world renowned concert pianist, his concerts always sold out. Glenn Gould however died at the age of 50. I guess Lang Lang is more potent in regard to that. Your taste of music means nothing, you are a nobody. lmao 😂
Both great pianists. I listen to music, not look at the pianist. Everybody has his/her own way. There are so many talented pianists and I visited many concerts. Just a few days ago I heard Rachmaninov's 2. piano concert live in concert hall in my home town. Great event.
Дело в том, что эти кривляния делают те, кому не хватает навыков, чтобы выразить свои чувства пальцами. А в случае с Ланг Ланг - он как раз-таки может выразить любые нюансы, но он специально кривляется для привлечения внимания. Это часть его медийного образа. И, конечно, это не имеет никакого отношения к особенностям музыкального исполнения.
I’m sorry to say although Lang’s sound is impressive, his facial expressions are difficult to take. This concerto belongs solely to 𝐻𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑤𝑖𝑡𝑧!!
@@gregorymoreira8876 Why focus on his face though?
No, no one is not. Not at all.
@@gregorymoreira8876the expressions that Lang Lang’s face makes, is very hard to do. Even though they look funny.
c'mon this lang lang Performance is so funny
Hater or lover, this vid was just 😂😂
Because "funny" is exactly what the composer had in mind, and exactly what the piece conveys... *facepalm*
@@nicojarhonestly how do you know what exactly was his intention and why is there always this seriousness and elitism in classical music. Everyone is FREE to interpret it and play with it the way it suits him or her and if anybody is entertained by that, thats OKAY.
@@nicojar no it wasnt 🤣no it fkn wasnt. Listen to the theme, or the first minute of the piece for short. Even how the piano comes in with sinister and haunting tune in the 2nd mvt, and how the concerto ended as if we just got out victorious from a fkn battle or something. Funny?🤣🤣ain't no way you just said that just to defend Lang Lang 🤣
@@mza3544gosh stopping digging such a deep hole for yourself- it was sarcasm
Not a big lang lang fan but you can tell he loves every second he spends playing and that’s what it’s about😂
They both do the thing but One is in the inside the other is outside
Why is Lang Lang always being the target of such comments?! Khatia Buniatishvili, Trifonov, Alexander Malofeev, just to name a few, all of which are excellent pianists are equally as "facially expressive" as he is.
i think to the general public Lang Lang is a lot more well known
Because he's Asian, and Asian musicians face a lot of discrimination in the classical world. It's the sad truth.
@@tyrrelllox7392. Oh for crying out loud! Stop playing the race card. You don’t hear people saying this about Yuga Wang. They are currently two of the most popular pianists out there. If he’s being discriminated against, why are people buying up his tickets lightening fast? Ridiculous comment.
@@Pseudify How many famous Asian pianists do you know and how many famous Caucasian pianists do you know? I'm willing to bet the difference is significant in favor of the non-Asian pianists. Now compare that to the number of competition winners that are Asian and you'll see that being Asian pretty much makes you invisible unless you are at the absolute top (EG Yuja wang, Lang Lang.) Whereas non-Asians with easy-to-remember names can be second rate pianists and still have very promising careers, simply due to the relationship between racial bias and marketability.
Scroll down to any Asian child-prodigy video on TH-cam and you'll see a plethora of comments suggesting that this child has no life and practices like a machine, rather than is naturally musically inclined. These stereotypes are harmful and discriminatory. Don't deny they exist.
The truly "ridiculous" thing is how you used 2 outliers to create your argument.
@@tyrrelllox7392. Hilarious. You should go look at the recent winners of the big piano competitions. Plenty of Asians.
Inimitable VH…..lucky for us, that he left many recordings, some vids, and interviews. We can enjoy and learn much from his Journey
Lang Lang watched too much Tom and Jerry
Ironically his favourite cartoon of all time is Tom and Jerry😂
Then there is Uchida! I adore that woman. Her playing is divine but watching her is just as good as listening.
Both are wonderful pianists, in my humble opinion. But Lang Lang is a lot more... "animated" 😂😂😂
Clown vs The Artist 🎉
I’m sorry, Lang, that was catastrophic🫣
Just listen
If you can play a single bar of the rach 3 cadenza I'll give you a zillion euros
@@james137 That's not the point. You can criticize an artistic performance without being a performer yourself. The fact of the matter is that Lang Lang's performance here is big and loud but also, in places, sloppy. I can say that because I know the music, even though my own pianistic skills don't come close to being able to perform it.
I’m a better pianist than Lang Lang because I don’t make stupid faces.
Exactly...Lang Is the perfect Pianist for nowadays listeners, because the listener today Is more interested in ugly things than in real Beauty, especially musical Beauty.
I cant play piano without making faces. Lang lang is also a very talented virtuoso. We have no place to judge him based on his facial expressions when he produces such amazing sounds.
He is completely overrated.
@@pablov1973 You're completely nothing.
But we have eyes. He looks like a jackass. how much would you bet he can play as well without the ridiculous theatrics?
He’s a showman, not a pianist
@@Chorizo727 You're nothing.
Its funny to see lang lang flop his hand like fish on land
The difference between good and great. Horowitz will always be one of the most expressive pianists of all time. Expression doesn't mean movement, it means feeling.
Lang lang is very expressive too. He just exaggerates it in his body. It helps bring emotions out into playing to use your body as well. I play violin, cello, and flute, and I notice I can be more expressive when I move my body
The arrogance to say Lang Lang isn’t great
who says that expression doesn't mean movement, which rulebook? and how can according to you does someone express feelings then?
Making facial expressions, and exaggerating your body just makes you feel wayy better and more lighter while playing piano
Horowitz, Rubinstein, Argerich
Arrau
Sultanov
I can listen to his beautiful interpretations of pieces but I can't bear to watch his face lol 😂😂🤣
Both are on another level fr
When I try to do “the face” thing often play the wring notes 😂. They are both different & great in their own way. My fav is still the great Rubinstein.
Emotions are expressed in the notes, the tune, the music. Not by actions, for they are just for show.
But for some people, the face expresses the emotion. You can repress that, or you can leave it be.
I make some very intense facial expressions when pooping (especially after a successful one), but I know others could be much more stoic during the process. Maybe music is the same.
lol You gave the subject all of the reverence it deserves.
You need enema
Everyone has his/her own way of playing.
I think lang lang’s movements is part of his style as a pianist. Some say he’s an entertainer. I think that’s how he likes to deliver his music to the audience with his movements and interpretation of the music. I bet he can play his pieces perfectly to score but it seems like his style likes to experiment using the score as his base and making the music his own.
decades ago, artists didn't think about selling or selling themselves and focused on substance much more than form.
I can’t watch lang lang perform for this reason. I find it too distracting 😂😂
I can't watch, or even listen Horowitz perform. I find those loud bangings and wrong notes all over the place too distracting 😂😂
I’m a better pianist than Lang Lang Because I don’t make stupid faces.
If your looking at him instead of listening to the music you might be focused on the wrong stuff my friend
@@Sun-gs6hq He is a genius, but I don’t agree with his interpretations at times.
@@鶴-j5i Lang lang is a genius, but because I don’t agree with his interpretations at times, I find it too distracting to listen to him.
Lang Lang: Look at me, look at me!
sorry lang lang but if you close your eyes it sounds almost as bad as when i try to play the cadenza..
It actually wasn’t bad just too fast and trying to show off.
They're incomparable being two pianists from different eras.
and one was an artist and the other was mostly a showman who belongs in las vegas.
Liang Liang does this because stupid rich people eat it up. This is why he's rich. Horowitz did art for the sake of art and was a phenomenal pianist.
I’m a better pianist than Lang Lang.
I would think everyone experiences music, creating a work of art etc differently. 😊
I think its fine for people to have their own playing styles. Art is meant to be loved and hated and controversial.
But lets be real, if Lang Lang wasnt chinese, people wouldnt complain. People here gobble western media and adopt sinophobic views without knowing anything.
I always liked the guitarist Roy Buchanan, I would get teary and he looked like he was in line to buy groceries
lang lang is a cloud , horowtiz is a master !
It takes every kind of people to make the world go ‘round.
Take it easy and relax
Bang Bang does imitations of dodgeball while playing the piano.
After all it matters what's heard not what's seen.
Infatti....hai ragione! L'importante è chiudere gli occhi,per non scoppiare a ridere!
Horowitz vs Lang Lang… two mighty warriors with technical prowess that surpasses human understanding.
Lang Lang. Or as they say Bang Bang.
LangLang the multi millionaire pianist you mean.
Horowitz fits the name Bang Bang more, right?
This video reveals the true face of Lang Lang’s inner élégance.
When Horowitz played Rachmaninoff it was about Rachmaninoff. When Lang Lang plays Rachmaninoff, it's about Lang Lang.
Ridiculous nonsense.
That's very true.
Agreed!
Not quite. When Horowitz played anything it sounded like Horowitz. He himself claimed that at a certain point he stopped trying to sound like anyone else but himself. Listen to Rachmaninoff's own recordings, there's a huge difference.
I’m a better pianist than Lang Lang because I don’t make stupid faces.
I think this coda was really well and expressively played by Lang Lang. Tons of passion.
Horowitz = 🗿
Lang Lang = AMBATABLOU
lang lang the best, get out
european nationalist
blud just simply drop a meme here 💀💀
I’m a better pianist than Lang Lang because I don’t make stupid faces.

iam also can play insane speed with stupid troll face play humans just stupid. Overrated
The Chinese guy is showing off. Period.
Shots fired!
You can't compare a guy to Horowitz
Not everyone is a fan of Horowitz.
Ngl while I can agree Horowitz is one of the best pianist of all time, he definitely is not my favorite
Thats okay, but lang lang is still not comparable to him..@@zomb7138
He is absolutely right.
Horowitz, hands down (no pun intended)
It is just so easy for Lang Lang that he has extra time and energy to play around with his body and facial expressions.
But he died in 89 and Lang Lang must have been 6 years old
yes this video is just a joke
Here's your award for pointlessness: 🏆
The contrast is pure comedy. Very good
The problem is Lang Lang’s expressions as if he’s laughing like he’s playing a happy piece while this part is extremely ínstense with so much desperation! You can’t even justify those expressions 😅
@@鶴-j5i I should? Wrong word. Also, I’m not disrespecting him, but I am making fun of his clownish gestures that are utterly incompatible with the melody he’s playing. Since he’s all about show, then we as audience have the right to criticize, like, or dislike. It got nothing to do with respect. He has such an amazing technique, and I would definitely enjoy his playing more as long as I don’t see these expressions.
I enjoy both approaches.
My opinion of Lang Lang is the same as Felix Mendelssohn's opinion of Alexander Dreyschock, of whom Mendelssohn said, "He will play something so admirably that you fancy yourself in the presence of a great artist, and then immediately thereafter play something so badly that you change your mind." That's Lang Lang to a "T".
Still haven't heard him play anything worth admiring.
Feelings Can be both ways. Don’t let anyone tell you differently
Both are great but Horowitz will be remembered hundreds of years from now.
yow hello guys! May I ask what concerto did Lang Lang performed? I hope you can answer. Thanks...😁
Btw, I like how Lang Lang did it. He feels every single notes of the piece.😃
Rachmaninoff 3
@@thenotsookayguythanks soo much bro
I am not sure why, but putting the face thing aside, whenever I listen to Lang Lang I don't feel any emotion. I feel his music is a cold sequence of notes. I am not a professional, but I feel he is disconnected from the music, or I would say that he is connected to it in a way that I don't undetstand.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Finally somebody exposes brilliantly Zbang Zbang!...
I will save this video for future entertainment.

이런 얄팍한 비교가 예술을 오염시킨다고 나는 생각한다. 예술에는 경계가 없다. 다양성을 인정하는 것만이 다시 클래식 음악을 부흥시키는 길일 것이다. 나는 호로비츠를 매우 좋아하지만, 랑랑 또한 대단한 음악가이다.
Exactly
Браво, браво, браво!!! Восторг у меня.
Lang Lang = Bang Bang
I’m a better pianist than Lang Lang because I don’t make stupid faces.
Both are right. Each person interacts with music in different ways....
Honestly, those exaggerated faces take the humility out of the performance. It winds up being about him, not the music.
how about close your eyes?
Es absolutamente el intérprete y no la música porque la música son unos garabatos en un papel
I deeply believe that this two can express their music with a face expression or cero face expression
What matters is the beautiful music
LANG LANG'S FREAKY FACES...
yes the person with a freaky smile profile photo lmao
BB King Vs Dave Gilmour.
I see lang lang face I will switch channel
Same here. Comedienne.
Lang Lang is an entertainer, more than a pianist.
Lang looks like he’s having a psychotic episode.
Lang Lang actually sees visions while playing, he has this rare phenomenon called Synesthesia, where people see colored visions while hearing music, hence that explains his expressions.
@@sophonblock76 you might be right, but does that mean he can’t sit still. He’s like The Joker. His performances are a dark comedy. He’s the laughing stock of the profession.
@@whoisthispianist01 Your comment is biased. Search for Glenn Gould, he is considered one of the greatest pianist, but Glenn movement is even more extreme than Lang Lang. So Glenn Gould is also the laughing stock of the classical world? lmao I think you are the clown here, not Lang Lang 🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@sophonblock76 I want Synesthesia really bad, but I would not open mouth shake my head in the air like it's raining cotton candy.
@@Aleksandr_Skrjabin But then again you are not the multi million dollar earning concert pianist with sold out concerts like Lang Lang. Admit it, you failed in life, lmao 😂😂😂
Well,we are diffrent..Im listen with my eyes closed,anyway.Im not going to a concert for the interpret,im going for the music."We must serve music, not serve it" (something like that)-Dinu Lipatti.We,interprets have to be humble,the music is important,we have to play the best we can and feeling,with grimaces or without.I dont care,you can stay in hands or ..if i can feel the power of music im happy
Horowitz was trained in 19 th century techniques...they are two totally different interpreters of the music. ...and both are great!
Yeah thats why lang lang brah
Horowitz was Lang Lang's teacher's teacher.
There are really enough pianist who plays so good, but I cant look at this videos, otherwise I will die from cringe
heh yeah
Horowitz:hmm~delicious~
lang lang:heeheheheheehrhrhehehehehehehehehehe
Unfair comparison . Who needs Lang Lang?
I’m a better pianist than Lang Lang because I don’t make stupid faces.
Horowitz has the best one of the most humble and attractive male pianist I have ever heard and laid eyes on. Such a shame I didn’t get to see him perform.
I fr am wondering what Lang Lang doin..
hi scriabin
You got your Tim Duncans, quiet but 5 rings. You got your Lang Langs you know every hair and skin cell is feeling it. It takes all the colours but the masterpiece is still beautiful.
I feel like sometimes its okay to make faces but
Lang lang does this for every peice
And its just disrespectful...
how tf is it disrespectful
One uses fingers, and one uses head to play. Both geniuses
Horowitz himself was criticized for being too flashy - not with antics, but by picking fast tempos to show off his technique. Artur Rubinstein on Horowitz: "He's the better pianist, but I'm the better musician." Anyway you should listen to music with your eyes closed: It's the sound that counts. I find this particular performance by Lang Lang unmusical. He pounds away, ff all the way, with a muddy, inaccurate bass, then uses an exaggerated rubato to bring out the climax, having run out of dynamic space.
Something is still wrong... i appreciate rubishtein but horowitz was not called the master of color tone for no reason he just had different taste but still his early age performances can be rlly ruined by innacurrare tempo but he had break into music career for about 10 years and when he came back he made the unrivaled music... im not saying that he is better than rubishtein but still horowitz is number 1 for me and i cant rlly accept that announcement i actually dont compare pianists but their musicallity everyone has their style its the most important... if they want they can imitate each other sooo easily its not rlly that hard stuff when u play piano all ur life and when u re world class but its rare to have ur own style and sense of music... some will like it and some wont but it doesn't matter we dont have to compare them so rubishtein is not better they re both equal but in their way
I agree 💯 percent
Well thats very arguable if rubinstein was a better musician:) Rubinstein was kind of musician who said Tchaikovsky's piano concerto no.1 was unplayable, barely a compose..:) @gspaulsson
@@s4cha286 i think they're talking about Arthur instead of Nikolai rubinstein.
@@SofiAmadeus Oh thank you for pointing that out. Even if its arthur rubinstein who said "Im the better musician" I strongly disagree. Horowitz's ability to understand musical sentences and singing on piano with that gorgeous tone of his was absolutely magnificant!
Lang tries to entertain people through his facial expressions, but he already has the technique to inspire the audience. Unnecessarily people pay attention on his face than music often.
Not though. He wrote in his autobiography that he did this to pleasure himself. This was a habit he learnt from a competitor during his teens 😂
Lang Looks like a Victor Borge skit....
Good play!
