Lang Lang wowed tourists in the ‘City of Love’ on Valentine’s Day 2019 as he gave a unique album launch concert in Paris on a boat cruising along the Seine, performing pieces from his new album, Piano Book, such as the French classic ‘Clair de lune’ by Claude Debussy.
With ‘Piano Book’, Lang Lang goes back to his first love - to the pieces that made him want to become a musician in the first place. “I dedicate this album to my wonderful piano students and all my friends around the world who love the piano as much as I do.” Rediscovering the most popular and accessible pieces written for learners and lovers of the piano, this album is a journey of inspiration, of discovery, fantasy and learning. ‘Piano Book’ gathers together many of the miniatures that generations of amateur pianists have grown up with. Lang Lang holds them in the highest regard, believing them to be classics in their own right. He wants to encourage piano students across the world to fully appreciate them.
Enjoy the video of this famous poetic piece along the landmarks of Paris by night.

As long as he spends a piece of his soul playing it, it's fine. Either listening or watching the gentleness & precision of his touch, it's evident. I guess it's not just placebo, the difference of execution, the investment, is having an effect on us, like it or not. Though that's just a dazzled opinion of a pleb, utterly unrelated to the classical musical world & instrument playing.

This is the most smooth interpretation I have ever listened to, its like a steady stream flow of water, it even seems like you don't know whats coming next after each note, eventhough you have heard it hundreds of times, some people play it section for section and you can clearly distinguish the transitions, which makes it not so smooth to listen to and just feels like text book playing, but Lang Langs takes it to a whole different level.

I think Lang Lang said in one of the interviews that Clair de Lune is one of his favorite pieces. When asked why he answered that it contained such longing, so vivid and so deep. But somehow his interpretation makes me think not about the moon but the sea, the waves flashing the beach over and over again. It's so beautiful it makes me long for death in some way.

@n.s.3410 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed. I hear the swell and breath of the sea. The randomness of it as well.. I think it’s why his interpretation is so unique.. he lets the swell control the dynamic of the music. He’s just along for the ride.

Questions are inevitable, and, believe me, I have myriad questions. (Fervently, I hope the answers will come ... someday.)

Man. Lang Lang gets criticized for his seemingly exaggerated hand movement and facial expression, but he is truly one of the best pianists of our times. I am glad he made a remarkable comeback after his injury. I can't wait to see him back in a concert hall.

@Nico-rw2tl 7 ай бұрын

For what I have seen, it is above all that he has interpreted and massacred certain pieces which, however, are not the most demanding... But that does not mean that everything is to be thrown away with him like what some can say, the proof here.

Injury? As if he is some athlete. If you get injured playing the piano, then you must be doing something terribly wrong. This is the record company trying to profit (once again) from contrived garbage - since they found a show-off who wants to be a star.

@@chrislinhares7311 You sound pretty ignorant. Musicians can get injured doing their craft for a number of reasons- for example, many contract tendonitis like Lang Lang did. Repetitive stress injuries are pretty common too. And did you really just call him contrived garbage? Sure he absolutely can be a show-off at times, but he is very definitely already a star. The man clawed his way to the top of this industry through sheer effort and skill- if you think you know better than multiple acclaimed classical pianists who considered him among the best of the best and awarded him world-class accolades, you're either delusional or in denial or both.

Since his hand injury, he has changed - for the better. Everything he played before the accident was a "Lang Lang show", with extra gestures that distracted, stylistically questionable rubatos and tempos, and power and speed over musicianship. This performance is refreshing. I close my eyes and I hear the music, not the musician. I applaud his new approach.

This just gave me goosebumps throughout the entirety of this rendition. There are lot of really great performances out there, but this just really hits me. This rendition is like a dream, but no ordinary dream, not your ordinary dream that you could possibly think of. The way that he uses the pedal here to create some wet effect to bring out those layers of color whilst keeping that voicing intact and well put. This is just out of this world, just as how I literally imagined it to sound like. Hands down to the Maestro.
