Lang Lang has the most impressive op 25 no 5 I have ever heard.

Seriously, people are just hating on him for no reason.

Lang Lang, Whatever he does in his performance is beautiful and perfect. MAGNIFICATION.

Astounding delicacy of touch! Inner harmonies that are a revelation. No one in the history of pianism has found so many formerly unheard accents that breath vitality into Chopin’s etudes.

When I hear Lang Lang I close my eyes so that I can concentrating in his beautiful playing!

Lang Lang started playing the piano when he was 3 years old. I can't even remember what I was doing at the age of three. He won his first piano competition at the age of 5, and at 13, he was already giving concerts in concert halls in Beijing. Compared to other pianists, he's an old accomplished musician now.

Lang Lang is very talented my friend. He has put countless hours of practice in, to get where he is today. It's pretty pathetic that you are so jealous of him. You are about as ignorant as they come. If you don't like Lang Lang for some reason, why are you viewing his videos. You are obviously jealous if you are commenting poorly on a video you chose to watch, knowing perfectly well it was Lang Lang. Consider finding your own talent, instead of coveting others.

Beautiful :) I love Lang Lang's energy, power, and the performance the most.

For years there has been ‘culture elitists’ attacking Lang Lang, trying to paint this extraordinary hardworking young artist as a fraud without any merits. I am defending LL not just because he happens to be my favorite, but also because the core motive of those attackers are not related to music and art, but related to something else.

I love the sound of this piano when played perfectly ! Thank you LL !

Great Job Lang Lang! That's why you are on the stage and millions of people have paid to see you play, and why a few non famous perfectionists are here giving you negative comments and negative feedback.

Extraordinary talent. I love Lang Lang.

and I love his music and his goofiness!

emilecek, díky! Je to požitek... Nádhera, krása - ta neobyčejná čistota a procítěnost přednesu... Lang Lang je jedinečný! Být na jeho koncertě je skutečně dlouhodobý zážitek.

Dear Lang Lang.Thank you for your beautiful and comforting warms of your playing.🎶💖🎶

Lovely and Amazing performance by Lang Lang!!!!!!! I still don't know why lots of people hate Lang Lang - They have no reason to say That ！！！！！！

So warm and such amazing interpretation and expression, marvelous!

Every time I listen to Lang Lang, my emotions run wild. At some point, I extol into my screen the wonderful joys and pleasures a well made metronome can bring. At others I scream bloody murder at all time keeping devices. I can understand his popularity, the hormones rage along with the continuously changing facial expressions.

troppi vorrebbero esecuzioni fotocopia ....di qualcunaltro...grazie invece a chi ci regala una visione diversa e logica....Lang lang e' originalissimo...GRAZIE...!!!

I know it costs to a lot of people accept that Lang Lang is one of the best living pianists, but is life. A lot of elbow pain. Great Lang Lang.

Some people hate Lang lang by the simple fact that they don´t like HOW he show himself playing. Here, they can´t see him, and they are forced to just hear the sound, so they like. If someone had told this was Ashkenazy, everybody was praising... Lang lang is fantastic!

What's with all this hate around Lang Lang? They are his interpretations! I understand people can have their own opinions but are you really in the position to insult him when you cannot do half of what he does? Learn to give some respect to the people who play music for us to enjoy.

Lang Lang is the Best pianist in the world, no doubt about that!! His virtuosity is so evident and histalent so great, he's really a genius!!

No. 7, the cello etude, starting here at 13:34, is really magical. I love how the RH and LH melodic lines come into and out of aural focus, like in a mist. In contrast is Lang Lang's approach to the parallel thirds in no. 6. I like being able to hear all of the notes at the same volume level the whole time. It's kind of like this inevitable wave of sound assaulting my ears. That's why I need the mist afterwards. This guy understands drama so well!

I listened to these studies by Lang Lang live and I must say they were very excited,a mixture of technique that is close to perfection and sound control refined that sometimes drags you in magical atmospheres.Obviously the best pianist doesn't exist,MUSIC IS NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE,and there is nothing "objectively provable".I personally find that Pollini has an executive style too rigid and substantially cold.My personal taste prefers Ashkenazy,but Lang Lang brigs out melodies unsual and interesting that offer a new reading of pieces heard hundreds of times.On the other hand,in every genius has to be a revolutionary component.......

With the bravura sections he's truly the Eddy Van Halen of Classical Pianists. Absolutely electrifying. He can also play with a ravishing beauty in the lyrical sections. Sometimes his rubato, interpretations and mannerisms are a bit odd but he is a born virtuoso with an amazing spirit. A uniquely outrageous, awesome artist.

I love it! So emotional and deep

Different understanding has different performance. Great pianist in the world mastering every single tone during play.👍

Thanks for posting!

Don’t care what he plays, it’s ok with me, beautiful to listen to! Thankyou Lang Lang!

here, here! and keep an open e a r ! Lang Lang is a phenomenon

Lang Lang is the best pianist I have ever heard.His technique is inimaginable,and his musicality is made or visions,music,with him,is talking à language so clear and comprehensible,what the composer would have loved.

36:10 (e minor) "Romance" from Franz Liszt 41:34 "Silver Clouds Chasing the Moon" traditional chinese folk song, piano arrangement by Wang Jian-Zhong (Lang Lang says at 41:05 the title is: "The Moon Chased by the Colorful Clouds") 45:46 "La Campanella" Grandes études de Paganini No. 3 from Franz Liszt

Excepcional gravação desses estudos, com certas nusnces qu acrescentaram mais já no primeiro estudo....

26:39 Woooooooooooouuuuu . saludos From Chile (Antofagasta), Thanks for this work of Art

You described this performance perfectly.

Amazing....Master!!!

Le n.1 c'est la meilleure interprétation que je connais!

for me- best preformer of chopin etudes. such a soft and romantic touch...

Chopin Op 25 no 12 was great! :)

Потрясающий пианист! Нет ему равных!

I weary of comparisons and "I prefer," and "soanso plays this better," and, "well, technically, his playing is..., but...," etc. ad nauseum. He plays beautifully, with feeling, and great technical facility. Period. Let's rejoice in that he is willing to share it with us and to thus enrich this world of sorrows and ugliness with something beautiful and inspiring. Bravo, Lang Lang.

There is some lovely playing here - I like his tone quality and tender lyricism in the first encore and variety of tone in the short Chinese piece. Plenty of brilliance in the faster Etudes and of course the final encore - Liszt's La Campanella.

LL's performance of no. 7 though...heart wrenching. x.x...

Этюды Шопена в таком блестящем исполнении - это романтические новеллы в нотах. Душа очищается до легкости полета, сердце вновь готово любить и нет силы способной этому помешать. .

You certainly may so suggest, and I'll get to it asap. (I'm a little covered with work right now and it may be a few days.) I thoroughly enjoy Kissin. He has a certain finesse with some works that is astounding and just gorgeous.

Gracias !

Ik vind Opus 57 gewoon BANAAL. Van Beethovens Concerto voor piano, viool, cello en orkest behoort voor mij althans tot de ALLERBANAALSTE muziek ooit geschreven! Zijn Concerto voor viool en orkest daarentegen is het mooiste in zijn soort: VERRUKKELIJK, gewoon!

Love it!

and yes, particularly towards the end of Chopin's short life, his health impeded on his ability to produce the performances he wanted... Indeed his confiding in Liszt and his admiration for his command of the instrument was a wonderful gift to Chopin I think, in that there was someone that could interpret his music so brilliantly. Something he very much appreciated

Beautiful!

Oh ~ so wonderful ~~~

Thank you! 謝謝!:)

Lang Lang, Yuja Wang and Daniil Trifonov are all having remarkable achievement. That is why that they are standing out. It doesn’t mean that they are perfect - nobody is. I don’t think that put down any of them is the way to promote any other of them.

never knew Lang Lang could play this well

i studied an academic music degree and one of my essays was on Chopin. Even so, LangLang is represented through the recording methods and acoustics, if he didn't like it, he would have changed it... Reading first-hand descriptions of Chopin's tone and also hearing recordings of people directly connected with Chopin in the carried legacy of his teaching through his own pupils, you can get a pretty good idea of what sort of sound Chopin was renowned for, ...

and one can feel palpably the wonderful Czech music public!

I think it is...saw him plays this repertoire in Birmingham, UK back in September 2011 and it sounds very much like Lang Lang's touch.

The last time I saw this much excitement over the Chopin 24 Etudes was the anticipation awaiting Murray Perahia's recording and it turned out to be sort of a non-event.

Amasing rendition of the Opus 25!

very softly sad as pouring rain soaks my cold hands

He could've played many of these etudes such as 25 no 2 much faster, but he chose not to for the harmonies and melodies to ring out more. (✿◠‿◠) Honestly, usually I am not a huge fan of Lang's Chopin, even though I admire his Liszt and Bach, but, this is certainly a poetic and more reserved Lang Lang that I like much more for the Chopin pieces! I would never have guessed that this was Lang Lang's playing.

Sin comentarios,,,,Es el mejor pianista del mundo !!!

yundi li Op 25 no 11 winterwind is the BEST. can't compare. no one can. YUNDI GO!!!!!!!!

Dit heeft hij wel mooi gespeeld

there's chopin played by lang-lang. and there's chopin played by everyone else.

(guest) Recently I found a fascinating video on KZfaq, it was Lang-Lang receiviing invaluable advice from the great Daniel Baremboim... you'd think Lang-Lang was already extremely competent, but he took in every tiny nuance and subtle point that the Maestro made, incorporating them into his playing of Beethoven's "Appassionata" Sonata. It was so interesting, and gave an insight into expert , sensitive portrayal of the composer's music...masterclasses by Benjamin Zander are also very educational : they must be so helpful to students, and also to music lovers, even here on KZfaq, if not in real life.... 🎼😊🇬🇧😊🎼❤🎼

I like the feeling of La Campanella! So great! :) but, I heard some mistakes in the ending :( but feeling was awesome!!!! Way to go, LANG LANG!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@@@@

Very nice. I also like Louis Lortie version of the Etudes Op20 and op25

こういう音質嫌いじゃないです

Interesting information. Thank you.

Prejudice, jealousy are such part of the human weakness. Even the beauty of music would not change that.

"Romance", Franz Liszt. You can find the sheet music at imslp.org. (Die Noten finden Sie bei imslp.org.)

Que bien toca el número 5.......la velocidad justa y necesaria para resaltar el tema principal.

Lang Lang isn't my favorite pianist, but there is much beauty in this recording.

You really play so sensitive and beautiful (don't understand them who has voted negatively)

Wonderful playing. I really want to see the vedio.

oh Emile! Nevis nahodou jak se jmenuje ten predposledni pridavek prosim? Diky moc! By the way, the campanella was too bad!

Thanks for your interest. Although music isn't important to me anymore, I might record them, one of these months/years. Regards, Geert Dehoux.

Ets magnífic!

Usually i'm really not a fan of lang lang's interpretation's.. But i have to admit that i am very surprised with this recording.

I heared Mikhail Faerman and Augustin Anievas perform the 24 Etudes in recital several times, many years ago. Aldo Ciccolini also performed the whole set on concert, many years ago. He told me Michelangeli, only ONCE in his life, also did! The excellent Dutch Maestro Daniël Wayenberg used to perform Chopin's 24 Etudes before and Liszt's 12 Transcendental Etudes after the break!! Not everyone can do such a tour de force! But all this isn't necessary. Regards, G. D.

Maravilhoso !!!

EXCELENTE QUE GRANDE LANG LANG

피아노 칠때 여유있어보여서 좋다..

It is evident that you haven't listened to Cortot's 1925 recording of it: it remains unmatched.

Yes!!

this is yhe right way

Cortot, Brailowsky, Anievas, Vasary, François, Magin, Badura-Skoda, Haas, Cziffra and some other 'older' pianists also recorded the whole set in those years.

Another thing to address would be Chopin's frail health and body. If you compare statements of what his playing was like compared to what he wrote in his scores he may have played with more intense dynamics if able to do so and the same thing goes for Scriabin. Both of them complained of their lack of power, technically not musically.

Bravo

Wow !

I think he plays the Aeolian Harp the best out of all 12: better than most of the other recordings I've heard.

In the fourth etude, in a minor, Lang Lang shifts the downbeat to the right hand chords somewhere during the middle section. This really misrepresents the music.

I was deeply impressed by the pianist's perfomance. Does anyone know the piece name in an encore after 36 minites 10 seconds?

bro tried to sneak in la campanella like we wouldn't notice

As pessoas que comentam se esquecem q o pianista é um intérprete! Ele toca como percebe e sente a musica. Ficam os esnobes comparando, citando, depreciando! Quem não gosta que não ouça!
