Unbelievable technique. Listening to this makes me feel like I'm witnessing an army move towards me that I have no ability to stop. It's on another level of power.

Funny how i hate Lang Lang for his actions and at some points come to him for his showy performance😂😂guy is perfect for this epic piece with his body language and all. Though if with ears alone, I'd still go for the mother of all pianists. Spectacular 🎉

His key touching is undoubtedly crystal clear, even clearer and stronger than most recordings I’ve heard. Plus the orchestra sounds kinda weird idk😮

This is one of the hardest pieces to play in classical music repertoire played by the greatest pianist who ever lived. He makes it look like child's play. He's absolutely incredible.

In my opinion the coda is so goofily fast compared to Prokofievs original tempo
@richardvolpe76643 ай бұрын
To FatzGeronimo: Well, let's face it - - large chunks of this concerto are played here at such unconscionably overly fast tempos (How on earth did Sir Rattle agree with these speeds?), that the results can be likened to frenzied action in a Walt Disney cartoon. And oh! doesn't Lang look deliriously proud, having attained the world's record for the fastest rendition of this work ever done? Of course, anyone who's heard his crazy, inappropriate choices of tempo in his Grieg and Tchaikovsky concertos won't be surprised by what he does here in the Prokofiev. I have a strong feeling that even if he were to listen to the composer's recording. he'd still go ahead and do his own thing: You know - - the "Lang" thing.

Can't tell if I love this or not - sometimes I feel he is playing too staccato, yet at times it works, a lot of the time I enjoy the decisions Sir Rattle has made with the orchestra, but sometimes I feel its too slow or too quiet. The instruments he emphasises always feel playful and correct to the character though. 13:16 - Never heard this chord quite like that
