the reason Lang Lang is a popular world class virtuoso is not only because of his dazzling technical proficiency - which by itself, would be enough to earn him this pedestal, but that AND the combination of keeping his little boy inside himself which wonders at each note that his adult body is playing - as if the adult Lang Lang is providing, through the beautifully sensitive proficiency, a secret garden through which the child Lang Lang mysteriously wanders, sometimes caught by surprise and tiptoeing with caution through the hanging arbors, and then sometimes joyfully bounding into notes as if they are a big fresh pile of autumn leaves. If you carefully follow along with his body language and emotionalism - in his eyes, his hands, the turn of his head, his gaze up into the heavens, etc... trying as hard as you can to vicariously feel every pause, every passage and every energetic run, just as much as he does - you will have left the piece delightfully spent.
Thanks, but no thanks. Like an ever-growing number of viewers, I find his body language and emotionalism (eyes, hands, upward gazing, etc.) overwhelmingly offensive, undignified, cheap, pseudo-theatrical, unprofessional and, ironically enough, an obnoxious hindrance (anything but an aid!) to one's hope of concentrating on the music. A totally irrepressible showman/actor/ kind of pianist, he has singlehandedly ushered in a style that can be partially described as "smile as you play". Knowing that this would get his audiences to whisper spiritedly to each other, "such charisma!", he went to the next step wherein flailing arms, raised elbows, blushingly graceful, wafting limp wrists and triumphant overhead fists completed (I hope there's nothing more!) his - - [such a lovely word] - - "Persona". As I just replied to another commenter, what if you were merely listening to one of his oh-so-charismatic performances on a CD? Without your gazing at his unique 'persona', would all the magic be gone? Don't you see? - - he WANTS you to feast your eyes on him; he thrives on it, and he's likely to hatch ANYthing from the piano bench, no matter how bizarre, as long as it keeps you in Rapture.
Mein Gott, allen Göttern sei Dank. Welch Sternstunde. Jedem einzelnen Musiker sei Dank, bis hinten zum letzten Pult. Und Lang Lang ganz besonderen Dank für seine vielen vielen kleinen, wunderbaren Überraschungen im Sinne von "es kommt anders als ihr denkt" :-) :-) :-)
19 years old and already such an incredible and moving performance. And the second encore (Stars and Stripes) is almost unbelievably virtuoso, had I not seen it on TH-cam. Bless you, Lang Lang.
How about that slam bang ending with the tympany and bass drum! Nobody ends this incredible work like that, i think it gives it an extra touch, Tchaikovsky would have loved it !!!!!
Lang Lang interprets the Slavic spirit with great heart-felt passion and fervor. One great living virtuoso who ever lived and who performs with amazing ease. No comment about the music, one of the greatest concertos and pieces of music ever written.
He's got a greater understanding than I will ever have about music, pure talent and much much hard work. People sometimes forgets the hard work that you need to cash in on talent. Lang Lang is one of my all time favourites.
Lang Lang's best performance. He was playing for his life and so much talent at the prime of his career. No one can play the Stars and Stripes like him. It's so entertaining and leaves you begging for more.We are not worthy!
Incredible performance and just the best all around and that slam bang ending that nobody does in any orchestra gives it a real standing ovation boost like no other interpretation that i have ever heard before!!!!!
It is one year later and I enjoy this video just as much or maybe even more as then. Thank you for uploading this video of excellent quality. In the first encore you see/hear Lang Lang caressing the pianokeys like a lover. Just for the record: As you probably all know, the concerto follows the traditional form of three movements: 1 Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso - Allegro con spirito (B minor - B major) 18:47 2 Andantino semplice - Prestissimo - Tempo I (D major) 6:28 3 Allegro con fuoco - Molto meno mosso - Allegro vivo (B minor - B major) 6:10
@@armangouya Yes, I have her CD with Kondrashin and a DVD of her with Dutoit. She is the greatest living pianist, but I still love Lang Lang (sometimes only).
Although not as perfect as the version 2015 ,he has already shown the powerful emotional contiguous skill on the presentation of this great master work👍👍👍 Respect to the sound recorder👍👍👍, far better than that of 2015 in Paris.
Comparing to 2015 version, he plays every note more clearly but not as expressive as that one. Obviously he is getting better and better. He was only 19 years old on this one!
Right before the pandemic hit. Classical concerts are all shut down now. I was going to see LL at Disney Hall in what would have been the 2020 season. Now that is defunct. All we have now are TH-cam videos. What a loss.
never compare yourself to anyone... use them if you must to inspire you to do something that is YOURS... if you love music, learn to play an instrument... you can do it if you set your mind to it and your HEART.. Love you your'e unique.
You are only 19. So much possibility awaits you. But you have to start somewhere. Don't compare yourself to the greats like Lang Lang. Who knows, you can be one of the greats, too, someday. But as i said, the journey has a beginning. Whether you end up being one of the greats or not, you are uniquely you with so much potential within you. Know yourself and know what you love to do for the rest of your life. Then begin the journey by learning, practice, and work. Of course, play and fun would be in it too if you love what you do. And be patient. It is never too late. I know how to paint now and can say i paint well. I paint everyday and i couldn't imagine a day without painting. So yes, i found what i love to do for the rest of my life, but i started only in my early 30's. I am in my 50's now. So being 19 is wonderful for you. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Nicely put.
Es el actual genio occidental del telado y pianisticamente no oculta nada exibiendo limpiamente una tecnica feroz y perfecta

Mostly use his face to do it

Horowitz can play better than him. I like both I don't mind

@@MrLULE But Lang Lang has more emotion and character;)
@@greaterbayareahero1401 Yes they both are good in emotion and character no one is really above or bellow here.
Immer wieder grandios sein Spiel❤❤❤❤
Lang Lang, blessings be to you and your career.
merci Lang Lang pour ces minutes de pur bonheur
Wonderful!! His expression is incredible, he lives the music!
What an appreciative audience with sponatneous applause after 19th century traditions
😀😀😀😀
I have to say, I think this is the greatest piece I've been heard before
He is truly an excellent pianist!
Lang Lang The very best.He puts his heart and soul into his music. outstanding
Most inspiring and Moving player!!

Moved to tears. Love it. The best collaboration ever. So much more lyrical than the Chicago collaboration. Thanks so much for the upload!
Just fantastic! Lang lang takes us with him on an adventure!
Lang Lang owns this piece.He plays it better than the most top notch Russian pianists.
I disagree... but then: de gustibus non est disputandum.
Es macht einfach Freude einen so begnadeten ausnahme Musiker zu Zuhörern
How did you know?
You surely haven’t listened to Martha Argerich’s version.

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!! Magnifique!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bravo !!!! Maravilloso !!! Sublime !!!
I love how the first thing he does when he finishes is to run to the conductor and hug him. So wholesome
Well said , I saw him at other concertos making the same thing .
grand grand grand pianiste talentueux. incroyable PARFAIT....
Fantastico mi regala emizioni profonde BRAVO
Wonderful piece , wonderful playing, wonderful enjoying!
他是個努力的天才，讓很多年輕人注意到古典音樂，原本我是不聽古典鋼琴音樂的，因為朗朗的表演才開始接觸
Es la mejor interpretación del primer concierto de Tchaikowsky que he oído y visto en mi vida!!,!
Bien dicho!
Se nota que nunca escuchaste a martha argerich
Formidable, Magnifique 8:41 , Epatant!
Lang Lang ,que dedilhar conjugando com o coração. BRAVO

Sublime
I love it!
I'm speechless!
Maravilloso
Golden hands,I love him!
Maravilloso !!! 👏👏👏
Maravilloso sentir que hace la música con todo su ser
Fantástico.
There's certainly the Lang Lang way of stepping on the damper when playing danceable rhythms 32:54
El mejorrrrrrr
La musica è bellissima, ma l'interpretazione del Pianista e del Direttore d'orchestra è sublime. Più la si ascolta e più se ne apprezza la maestria.
lang lang, your music helps me through COVID isolation.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Божественный Рахманинов!!!!!!!! Уникальные музыканты!!!!!!Гениальный Ланг-Ланг!!!!! Спасибо,жизнь, за такой подарок!!!!!!!!!
Not only did you master this work with great artistry, but you know how to give a total entertaining performance.
У него эмоций больше чем у клавира П. И.Чайковского! Как широк пространство пианизма! У каждого пианиста свой слух и свой звук!
Little did you know this kid learned to play concertos by watching it on TV
He actually learned to play the piano by watching Liberace videos on YT.
I M P R E S S I O N A N T E !!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHINITO MAJESTUOSO! MAJESTIC!
他的表情太可愛了我快笑瘋了!!!!he was really enjoying it!!!!!!!!

@@grey1hound thank you❤
You are only 19. So much possibility awaits you. But you have to start somewhere. Don't compare yourself to the greats like Lang Lang. Who knows, you can be one of the greats, too, someday. But as i said, the journey has a beginning. Whether you end up being one of the greats or not, you are uniquely you with so much potential within you. Know yourself and know what you love to do for the rest of your life. Then begin the journey by learning, practice, and work. Of course, play and fun would be in it too if you love what you do. And be patient. It is never too late. I know how to paint now and can say i paint well. I paint everyday and i couldn't imagine a day without painting. So yes, i found what i love to do for the rest of my life, but i started only in my early 30's. I am in my 50's now. So being 19 is wonderful for you. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
He was just 17 years old in 1999
