Lang Lang I am deeply grateful to you for re-inspiring me back to piano playing, for your indepth understanding and dedication to music but also to your attitude to life. Grazie
I enjoyed this, just as I have enjoyed other performances of Lang Lang. I find his playing very sensitive and deeply moving. Many thanks for posting. Best wishes.
This piece has become one of my all time favorites over this past year. I play it almost everyday and sometimes makes me tear up when I'm sad. Given how old it is and the story behind it during that time during Liszt's life; I always end up thinking about my Grandma (who introduced me to piano a couple of years ago) and can't wait to see her this Thanksgiving. At the same time, I imagine Liszt and her sitting on either side of me when I play this. It really is a consolation... P.S. Lang Lang puts his heart and gut when he plays this and I feel that.
It might be something to do with the fact his good friend Chopin died just before he composed this. Consolation No. 3 was written as a tribute to Chopin and was an interpretation of his Nocturne Op. 27 No. 2 which is in the same key D-Flat major with a similar arpeggio in the left hand and starts with the same F (major third) note. I'm not entirely sure if this is what Andrew Chalk here is reffering to however I'm sure Liszt would have been upset that his inspirational and equally talented friend had gone from this world. Pianists/composers like that don't come about too often
Some of his dynamic choices are a bit strange but what i cant deny is how he ends this piece. The last few chords are so emotional especially the last twowhich i feel are perfect dynamics and phrasing wise
Lang Lang plays this composition with great virtuosity; who cares about his grimaces and faces; so did Glenn Gould, and so do many current virtuosos like David Fray, Andre Watts, and others. It's his prerogative and his personal expression. He's in a rapture in his music. It's shallow to criticize him for that.
I love any expression. I never totally understood it until I picked up more difficult pieces and as I attempt to play them I feel myself on the verge of tears. So, now I totally understand it.
You're correct that it is his personal prerogative but his antics are also disconcerting to many who find the actions distracting to the music which is generally outstanding. I personally prefer not to watch him play. Watching most other concert pianists makes a positive contribution to a performance.
Why does everyone think that Lang Lang's faces are bad / fake? Music is an emotion and any piano player can tell you it is much easier to convey emotions in your music if you make yourself feel that emotion and become immersed in it; showing emotion on your face helps this process.
That one guy in the background of the orchestra 😂 hes feeling it just as much as me 😂 Always love to come back to this video and watch this guy enjoy such an masterpiece played by lang lang ❤
Lang Lang plays Liszt's Consolation No.3 in London's Albert Hall, 10 September 2011. questo pianista, a soli 29 anni, aveva già grandi e fantastiche capacità espressive. il mio cuore e la mia anima vivono per le melodie di Listz ma a trascinarmi nella bellezza pura delle frasi musicali di questo brano sono le mani di questo giovane pianista. egli ha uno stile personalissimo che riesce a conquistare totalmente l'attenzione di chi lo vede e sente suonare .... egli mi meraviglia continuamente per le grandi doti che possiede.
Lang Lang is an extrovert. I saw him being interviewed in Chinese, and he never stopped talking and laughing away. I guess that's why he must have his facial expressions while immersing himself into the music, or maybe that's how he remembers the tempo, coda etc.. Some people say he showed-off, I beg to differ and say that's just his style. Anyway, I love his way of playing piano, much more exciting and commucative. I don't like to watch a still man with a stern-face playing piano, period!
and like declan said he finds beauty in every single beautiful majestic note and simply cant contain the emotions he is feeling. I would if i was playing that myself
Nunca nadie antes ha tocado como lang lang. Sabeis esa cosa de que si hablas y estas sonrriendo se nota en la voz aunque lo hagas desde el telefono?, pues prueba a "escuchar" a Lang Lang sin "mirar" ... si, si, se hizo la magia!
"Passions, violent or not, may never be expressed to the point of revulsion; even in the most frightening situation music must never offend the ear but must even then offer enjoyment, i.e. must always remain music." -- W.A.Mozart
Cuando mas me gusta Lang Lang es en estas piezas donde el virtuosismo no es tan evidente, sencillas por lo menos para el oido. Es donde realmente se nota la diferencia, como "respira" las notas!!! Me encanta este Consolation!
wonderful performance, really"!!!!!!! but still cant laugh a bit when i see lang lang faces XD like gould humming, its hilarious when such things cant be stopped by a performer :) it just become a part of the performance
He is working that melody. It seems like he is feeling it. Is there something wrong with the video? This was fairly recent. This is Valentines Day 2012. Franz Liszt was quite a character. I love his music. Good performance Lang Lang.
This is absolutely magnificent!!! He's the one who truly felt that piece of music
It is a gift to have such heavenly sounds flowing through one's fingertips, truly. His expression only emphasizes this.
i don't think there's a greater pianist in the world right now....truly gifted in every way...bravo!
I really love this piece and performed by Lang Lang , it's more beautiful!!
A wonderful musician! He sings his music with great emotions!
Beautiful. I am hooked now on Franz Liszt. Thanks Lang Lang.

I can’t play fast and smooth like Lang Lang. The polyrhythms runs are tricky. This piece is a piece of cake for him. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Some of his dynamic choices are a bit strange but what i cant deny is how he ends this piece. The last few chords are so emotional especially the last twowhich i feel are perfect dynamics and phrasing wise
Is that criticize?
Quel silence dans le Royal Albert Hall durant cette consolation ! De toute beauté !
He is simply a genius. Wonderful touch.
As Bach once said: "Music is very simple, all you need to do is hit the right note at the right time..."
River Rivenburg lol I suppose it’s true for a harpsichord
This is for harpsichord haha not piano, piano requires much more touch
@@nathanielwoodbury2692 😂😂😂😂😂
lang lang playing consolation number three he is just phenomenal x
I saw him perform this as an "encore" for a Beethoven piano concerto he played last week. He really is quite a special talent.

Including Liszt

Liszt at the age of Lang was seating straight right on the piano
Close the eyes and open the ears😊
Best version I've heard... Fantastic pedal work; so many versions are muddy
Agreed. It's really superb.
You are all definately correct
So lovely & tender!
Langlang, amazing piano player
Amazing pianist maybe
Una belleza...precioso sentimiento...
Love it
So beautifully sensitive
Magnifique, une caresse pour le cœur 🎶💓🎶
I love his music!!!!
Impressionnant, bravo!

mikecmtong yes I defiantly agree. I play piano and my faces are ridiculous 😂 but I'm expressing myself
Fantastic !
Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with us:)
That one guy in the background of the orchestra 😂 hes feeling it just as much as me 😂
Always love to come back to this video and watch this guy enjoy such an masterpiece played by lang lang ❤
Everyone was just waiting for him to stand up so they can applause
So relaxing to hear 😌😌😌😌😌😍😌😍😌😌😌
For sure, he's the BEST ONE!!
this is the best interpretation i ve heard, thanks for posting!!
Listen to Horowitz.
I get chills every time I hear this piece. It was the music for my first solo on pointe at age 8❤🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have you hugged your piano, today?
No I haven’t, I guess I will later 😂
No I didnt
a great talent -- really
Bravo.. most sensual
Very emotional and beautiful piano play reach to my heart.
Great!
Lang Lang is a pianist genius

Ha! Thanks for bringing it to my attention and for watching so closely.
Bravooo!
In answer to why he is laughing, if you see even his interviews, Lang Lang has a lot of joy in his work and music. I don't think he could withhold it
Lang Lang 💗
Sei Meraviglioso
I love You 💗
I'm blushing.
@@Declanworld huh
and like declan said he finds beauty in every single beautiful majestic note and simply cant contain the emotions he is feeling. I would if i was playing that myself
nadie toca Lizt como lo hace lang lang....es increibe
I got this VIP piano learning thing with Lang Lang picture on it
Huh?
Nunca nadie antes ha tocado como lang lang. Sabeis esa cosa de que si hablas y estas sonrriendo se nota en la voz aunque lo hagas desde el telefono?, pues prueba a "escuchar" a Lang Lang sin "mirar" ... si, si, se hizo la magia!

I can make it as well. !
早くランランのコンサートに行きたいです。心待ちにしています🌺🥀
It's a pleasure, Tatia.
Very emotional but relaxing

GRAZIE ❤❤❤❤❤
SUPER ❤❤❤❤❤
Супер ЗАМЕЧАТЕЛЬНО!!!
I may detest his faces, but when I close my eyes, I can hear great performances
1:10 why triple forte?
I didnt like that either...but i loved the way he ended this its just perfect particularly the last 4 or so chords

Gould humming is so charming! He’s so into it, it’s like he’s playing for himself and not some critical snob
Прекрасно !!
did you see the mouse screen? LOL
Surprised nobody's mentioned the mouse cursor sitting on the video the whole time lmao.
Ha-ha! It was discussed amusingly a year ago ago, Keyshia.
Or the slow framerate in the video
You can thank the BBC for that.
He is working that melody. It seems like he is feeling it. Is there something wrong with the video? This was fairly recent. This is Valentines Day 2012. Franz Liszt was quite a character. I love his music. Good performance Lang Lang.
The agile tempo is refreshing
u r so right :D
e incrivel
You're welcome - sorry for the delay in acknowledging your comment.
this peace actually complements Liebestarum, if played after, great ending
Que vontade de dar um beijo nele...♥♥♥♥♥♥
K I think I’ve been playing it too slow lol.
Ayham Shaheed no dude, lang lang play this his style, most of people play slow actually
Me too
Everyone plays it the same (sheet music wise) but you can add your own touch or style to it, doesn’t have to be exactly the same as him.
@@jefferycampbellpianobandit5521 oh hey Jeff
Lang Lang is known to play his style even if it wasn't the composer's intentions lol. It's nice tho
Im here From Fallout 4 what a Masterpiece 💥🫶🏼🎼
I know how to play it
Like if you love it 👇
@MrWoodCy beethoven concerto no.4????at toronto?
Yes it was in Toronto. I was about 12ft behind him off to the side. Memorable....Every now and then I play this to relax and ponder
You know, I think this would remix into a dance classic, great chords!
you can just see a mouse cursor on the bottom left of the video
Bottom-right, George.
right, left, same thing isn't it? XD
Gorge Lagon Of course, Gorge.
You can watch my version. Enjoy it.
Thanks.
I think he is teaching some kids right now
Kid masterclasses you are right
There are only accurate persons like this in the world who plays like this in these ages.... 😉😉
What problem are you having with the video?@Flextones
Yo soy tu humilde siervo.
in iedere vinger van hem zit een wonder....
Poné las caras que quieras Lang Lang te sobra!!! Ustedes son una manga de envidiosos!!!
