- Legendary pianist Lang Lang joins WQXR Creative Director Clemency Burton-Hill for another installment of "Classical Up-Close" in The Greene Space at WNYC & WQXR to perform works from him his new album "Piano Book", his first studio album in three years.
That is the best i have heard this song being performed. Usually people play it too fast and strong, this is soft and delicate..the way it should be. Truely enjoyable!
It’s a piece
Yes, he’s right
I disagree. Fur Elise is meant to be about agony, misery, despondency, and total hopelessness, mixed with short outbursts of fleeting joy. It's meant to be played forcefully.
Ah it's interesting because I personally prefer it being played faster but of course you're free to have a different opinion since music is very subjective!
@@ubermensch4304 open to interpretation but I love playing the final rondo and final sections in agony and anger. i think it fits the storyline really well but before those points it should be played with joy and bliss
My mum used to play this so well he's the only other person I've heard play it with the emotion that my mum did. I think we will play this version at her funeral as she sadly passed away on the 31 July 2020💜
@Una Aurora That's so sad to hear. I hope you are doing well
You have my condolences. Was her death related to Coronavirus in any way?
Una Aurora that is so sad to hear 😭. I hope you and your family are all well and okay. Don’t worry too much, and that will help you settle your mind a little bit. Wink wink 😉
Stay strong!!! R.I.P Una Aurora’s mother🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hope your okay I had lost a dog
Beethoven would be proud of this interpretation.
The more important is to enjoy the way he wants to tell this piece, rather than to compare who is best!
This is not an interpretation, it's the right way to play it
@Frank said anybody who has an iq above 3
@Frank you are actually dumb
And i wouldn't be surprised if you don't see why
Beethoven couldn't hear his interpretation any more 😂
That was quite a smooth hand and wrist motion.... A pianist's touch is most beautiful touch ever. 😘
I agree 😍
@Carmen Voong I agree with you 😥
I saw the video "I hate Lang Lang"....that was pointless to compare them... I agree with @Carmen totally
Totally agree with u.
that's what she said.
I really prefer this tempo, very authentic and romantic.
Soooo relaxing... like his fingers were just floating on air! You can actually feel the emotions in the music! ❤️
best fur elise interpretation ever
it is für Elise
By watching him I can tell he doesn't play the music, he feels it.
its all show
That's why he sounds so much better than others. they play technically correct and some are quite good - but not as good. his piano also has a superb sound.
Yes..that's why i look at the fingers...
That music better not be in minor key!
Lord Semmelbrösel q More emotion=more emotional music. This is why we have pros like him instead of robots playing the piano
Even some people don't like his face expression, all know he is one of the world great pianist...
He’s great, but way overhyped and commercialized.
they can just close their eyes and shut up..
terry bigMango overhyped? Tell me why
Tovey Chow He didn’t seem to have an answer 😂
@@toveychow3635 hes too mainstream
He interpret this piece with near to perfect playing, no nonsense classical romantic style of playing, rich intonation but not too rich, no exaggeration, 95% marks for him.
Benjamin Wen why not 100
Hailey Bosko Lang Lang is commonly known for bending rhythms slightly which people don’t admire meaning it would be impossible for home to get 100. Im not saying this as my opinion but as mosts
@@harishanthevalingam8768 ok whatever you say
@@harishanthevalingam8768 yes. that is one of the main reason 100% not given. When you play a classical piece, it must be interpret with strictness on how the piece is play at that point of time (CLASSICAL ERA). Not many interpret well, only a few like Vladimir Horowitz and Michiko Uchida interpret well. These two are the most versatile pianist.
Benjamin Wen not too strict however
One of the best musicians of all times!!!
As a child I would hear one of my sisters playing Fur Elise on our parlour piano. It always takes me back to those lost days, when it was getting dark outside, and my mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen. I hope I am listening to Lang Lang playing it before I enter eternity.
Wow! This is the most beautiful version that I’ve ever heard. I didn’t know that it could be played so movingly and sentimentally. I am sure Beethoven would love it and find it “just” for the reason he wrote the piece. And, I didn’t know Lang Lang can play without impressing the audience the dexterity of his fingers. Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When I listen to Lang Lang, I literally disappear from this World.
motombo motombo Until that cough came😡😡😡
@@fatimaWr2 Hahahahhha :)
Well, hopefully not literally!!
Lang lang always make all the classical pieces look easy to play, amazing pianist of this generation..
He played with all his heart, his soul and his mind.
He plays with a lot of feeling. That is the key. The paino becomes an extension of you.
It’s easy to play like him✌🏻🥰😜🥳😊😍😆🤗
I know what you mean but NO, it’s not easy to play like him. He is China’s best pianist and you can’t beat him you will need to work very hard but I understand what you mean...
Sounds like Elise is so fragile, must love with extreme care.
have i found a twoset-free classical music comment section? And the mans name is Lang Lang?
wow
Wooosh Bait try again where already here
Wooosh Bait yep my mom is obsessed with him
You find twoset free comments on opera videos...
No
The name ling ling was derived from Lang Lang
This performance and Valentina Lisitsa’s both show how this piece is supposed to be played im much slower tempo then everyone else is playing. The piece sounds completely different in this tempo. Thank you for this amazing video!
It's so amazing that such an old piece can sound so fresh.
Wonderful Lang makes love with his pianooo😁😁😁😁🎹🎹🎹 fantastic!!!
Lang Lang, you're an EXCEPTIONAL pianist!
Daniel Wright simply MAGICAL
Perfectly gorgeous emmotional movement with just the perfect dynamics with reflective rubato for beautiful sonorous tones of sheer, listening of pearly delight!
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses romantischen Meisterstücks im lyrischen Tempo mit anmütigem Anschlag und angenehmer Dynamik. Echt bewundernswert!
Simply delightful to watch this virtuous pianist's performance of such a Master Piece !!
I love the way you play that! A very warm and emotional interpretation, not too fast, very light. Like an angel playing it... chapeaux!😄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He is so amazing, and it seems like his hands are dancing on the piano
the best of I've ever listened to.
I like how he is so calm while playing the piano
Nice dude👍
I always play this song when ever I’m practicing the piano, because it’s one of my fav piano songs 😄
He plays songs out with all his feelings, he puts a lot of expression into it
When i hear that the tears falls me on my eyes
I love it that he plays the beginning melody differently each time to make it sound fresh!
Best performance of this piece I have ever heard.
J’aime comme il interprète cette fameuse lettre à Élise chapeau 🎩 Monsieur lang Lang 👍
No se puede tocar con más sensibilidad, No tengo palabras para el maestro, sólo puedo decir que magistral interpretación de " FUR ELISE".
l am fascinated by the way he is using his body to express how he is feeling about the performance. It is so divine
*Guess I have to practice 40 hrs a day to play like him.*
Ling ling did that.
My favourite quote about the great Lang Lang l found on the Classic FM website. It goes like this:-
Aged 9 A music teacher said that he had no talent.
Aged 31 Sold out the Royal Albert Hall in a few hours.
In other words, don't give up. That's a great message to send to future generations.
Si_Anu Itu ha yeah do you watch TwoSetViolin?
@@annabi6366 yup!
lazy dude
Among the interpretations I have come across, this is the best. 👍
I thought of it too
it is great to see a world renowned pianist play such a humble and, technically speaking, 'easy' piece. I mean I have been playing since january and I play fuer elise too, but it is great and humbling to see the interpretation of such a great musician.
Nothing easy about that piece of music
This is the best interpretation of fur Elise ever!!
0:42 when you're so good at playing piano that you can take a second to sniff your balls without missing a key
I'm dead 😂😂😂😂
Lol
Dafuq 😂
LMFAO 😂
Vivallamannen 💀💀
It's like he's massaging the keys and by his facial expression himself as well. Whatever works to get you into the piece I applaud. Sometimes, I play this piece naked, lathered in bacon grease. It really makes me feel prepared for anything if that makes sense.
It is so nice to see how his playing matures so much since his younger years. Any professional can play La Campanella, but it’s when they play pieces simple like Fur Elise you know he’s becoming a master.
It’s called expanding an audience. Because he knows the general crowd will just eat up für elise because they think it is just the best piece ever written
it is tho.
To listen the piano like you play dear Lang Lang is like be in the Haven...
Played with love, feeling and warmth for the piece.
This is one of my favorite compositions by Beethoven. I've just listened with pleasure...
This is my favorite work by Beethoven. Not only is it so beautiful, but it also helped me memorize the order of the planets from the sun in the solar system. In one particular episode of a tv show I watched when I was younger, a song is sung to the tune of this work that teaches the order of the planets from the sun, including Pluto even though it’s no longer a planet.
A very simple but graceful interpretation of the piece, indeed!
Hi im ur first comment after a year😀
What a master. Such focus, precision to create amazing work.
Is this the best I have heard it played. Yes yes it is xxx
Really grateful to see this performance. He is so lucky to be in sync with such a melody.
Woah wow! That's top level shit! Usually I can't even listen "fur Elise" after a bit... but this guy absolutely nailed it! From begging till the end!
He is amazing. His mastery of the music is a blessing and a gift.
He has lots of impressions
I wonder who liked my comment
Me
This song will never get old no matter the era mankind is in!!!!!!!!!!!
你太棒了,你好!祝愿你和太太大家辛福健康快乐。☺👍
Now that's how you make love to a piano. This is a musician through and through. "He has become music and music is he!"
Lang Lang play's really good, cool that he feels the piece & expresses that.
I love how he plays that first middle section after the familiar intro. Feels gentle and vital at the same time.
For some reason, this is the best rendition I've ever heard. And I've heard it a million times before...odd.
I love it. I love Lang Lang in this performans. Thank you
super music
Finally a good (right tempo) version. Love it!
absolutly marvelous. From Paraguay we salute you
Good to finally see him play slow. Melancholic.
This man is so gentle with the piano that I am getting so physically relaxed just by watching this
Beethoven would love hearing this played so well.
he was deaf
@@anghoanghuy2434 not his entire life
@@eingooglenutzer1474Exactly, and in my channel you have an animation videoclip of this ;) check it! im sure you ll like it
@@anghoanghuy2434 he is not deaf
It's always cute seeing my niece play this. But to hear it played by a prodigy of the instrument...wow!!
Master, though humble ( high EQ) Bravo to Lang Lang!
I love watching and listening to Lang Lang's interpretation.
He plays with So Much passion❤️
Security would've had to remove me I'd be bawling my eyes out in the front row. This was a song my mother would play when I was a kid. She passed when I was 12. I'm 34 just took up piano after years of guitar. I learned this song for my wife whose middle name is Elise. Sometimes my eyes well up when I am playing. The first month or so my sound was very mechanical, but for the last month or so I have been able to play with emotion and its crazy how it will overwhelm you.
it’s so good 😭
Listen kids, that’s the way to do it. Awesome performance! ❤️
Ling Ling: Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!!
😂
Ling ling WANABE!!!!
melon lord Ling Ling????
melon lord bruh Ling Ling was the name of the worlds smallest man
It’s Lang Lang
So mesmerizing and soothing. He’s treating the piano like a beautiful delicate woman 😆
Lang Lang’s voicing in this piece is so beautiful, legato, and lyrical. He makes the repeat notes sound a singing!!
Beautiful playing. It is not rushed and has meaning.
郎朗 演奏 鋼琴 給愛麗絲 一首名曲 非常好聽👍👍👍💕
This was a favorite song of mine...it was really great.
The best interpretation of the piece!
Nice to see Lang Lang playing slowly yet still full of emotion. Used to hearing faster pieces so this was a nice surprise.
Waaaoaooo ...que bella interpretacion ....que manos tan elegantes y con maestría , nos regala esa bella obra musical manejada magistralmente .......es usted un exelente maestro del piano ....saludes desde Pompano Beach Fl.
This is what making *_LOVE_* to a piano with Beethoven's unique composition looks and sounds like . . . . . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💓
It is not only playing to piano...it's ..Piece os Art!!!!💕
He just plays great excellent .. I love him. I hope someday I will have the opportunity to see him live.
Of course Lang Lang has to go over the top. Here we have a most sublime piece, played by a master. He has to own it. His fingers knew this song 300 years before Beethoven wrote a note of it.
It’s so beautiful , that I want to listen to it again.
I always wanted to be a pianist and I keep trying to play it like that.
I like his wonderfu tast of music 🎵 🎶
🎶
I can always see the finger is smooth when he play it
It is indeed equitable to say that when music talks, this very performance sounds such when the listner has an ability to hear. Thank you.
His style is unique and inimitable.
I'm speechless! No words could describe his elegant performance! 😍🤩
I thought it was an M-TV clip. Actually he is performing. Magic.
Beautiful 😍
So we'll played ❤..............sooo enjoyable............
Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 2023
A music 🎶 piano genius
Aww I love how he plays :)
He is so graceful
I teach piano lessons and this is still the number one "goals" piece that my students wish to play one day!
Wow! Amazing. I am only starting this song.🤩
