Who are the greatest Living Pianists? Read : www.rawassertions.com/the-13-... - Hudba
It’s now 2024 and we are blessed to have treasure like this available on CZcams..
I've been playing piano, classically trained, for almost 50 years. I believe I have earned the right to have an opinion as to the "greatness" of a pianist. Lang Lang is an incredibly gifted and passionate pianist whose interpretation of Rach 2 is refreshing. People who criticize either do not truly know or understand music from the perspective of the pianist or they are just cruel and jealous of the talent others possess.
Many people may think people are merely born with a gift. Yes it's true there MUST be a certain amount of raw, natural talent involved - this is obvious - but what people don't see are the thousands and thousands of hours one practices to achieve greatness. It's a discipline most are never willing or capable of achieving. So a word to "critics"....once you are honestly able to say you spent your childhood, teen years, and many adult years hovering over a keyboard of other musical instrument, playing until your hands hurt, wanting to stop yet can't stop because the passion that compels you to play exceeds any physical pain or social price you pay for missing out on many things..hen you can have a platform and a right to criticize a true musician.
Until then, you need to be very careful. When one lays their hands on a musical instrument to play in front of others- they are actually laying their soul bare to show the world. It's a vulnerability few can ever understand and certainly something small minded people can not respect.
So well said! People may not realize how vulnerable artists are. Their work is EVERYTHING and it does come from the soul. And they read these types of comments! They aren't distant statues. They are human beings and yes they are also able to read what you say. So unless you've poured tens of thousands of hours into your instrument, don't register your ignorance before such greatness.
you've hit the nail on the head. "Cruel and jealous" ..... that summarises it
True but I am still looking (with my ears!) for the perfect rendition of the 2nd movement of this concerto, for my subjective pleasure....THIS one is very close to it, thanks,also, to the conductor, whom,at his time, has rendered as a pianist, one of the best, in my opinion.
@@nicholawaldmann4323 I still think Schnabel's is the best, but that's just moi.
@@frankG335 you are so correct, I am a professional flute player with the San Jose symphony, have loved every minute of it. When I’m not playing I’m listening to great music. Feel sorry for people that don’t appreciate beautiful music. Lang Lang only comes once in a lifetime. He is so gifted.
No matter what all negative comments about him, he is still one of the best pianists in the world. He is very brilliant. I love his musical talent and passion. He is very humble too.
ksh7011 hi I totally agree. I don't think any other pianist could express this concerto to even try match the virtuosity of Lang Lang, and with Maestro Escshenbach it is just superb. Regards 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🙌🙌🙌🙌🤗🤗🤗🤗
Ditto. He is the "Elvis" of the classical world
Watch Barenboim, and watch Langlang master classes. Then, your opinions about his musicality and personalty will both change.
Lang Lang can be all that: "one of the best ianist in the world. He IS BRILLLIANT. But "humble"?....No way!
@@tomeratomera5608 You have hundreds of videos of masterclass with Lang Lang, in all he is very kind and never smears on students, while they are light years behind. You have dozens of interviews, never he criticizes anyone, never says he is best or whatever.
If you have any video which proves him being arrogant, post it, if not just eat your words.
There are a number of brilliant pianists, but only a few pour themselves into their playing. Lang Lang is one of them. He is captivating.
yanni is emotional as well!!
Completely agree!
There is poetic beauty in the way Lang Lang plays any master piece of music, he adds life & colour; sure the composers must feel happy hearing him play !
…because he’s captivated by the music he is playing
And all those other artists weren't "captivated" by this music? They just sat there, playing through the notes robotically?
Beethovens 4th has been immortalised for posterity with this performance by Lang Lang no one else comes close to his musical genius in this piece
No one else? Not even Arrau, Schnabel, Perahia, Serkin, Zimerman, Fleisher, Pollini, Rubinstein, or Trifonov? These poor suckers never came close to Lang's "genius"? You don't get out much, do you?
Lang Lang is the most amazing pianist. So musical, expressive, perfect, just perfect. Thank you Lang Lang for your great musical talent. My God, what a pleasure to listen and watch you playing. Bravo!!!!!
I don’t know anything negative about LANG LANG, but he doesn’t only plays his music, but he feels every note!! You can be a fly on his fingers and dance at the same time!!!
Lol he is trash, and so is your taste in classical music
@@brozors lol sure what are you insecure about brother?
We are never secure about the gift GOD gave us so you take each day as a thank you and do your best as possible!
Dyrygent koncert fort.nr 4 Beeth.. Lang Lang
No. 4 is my favourite concerto. I am impressed by Lang Lang's getting better and better over the years, maturing as a person and musician, nurturing his talents. When I first heard Lang Lang - i.e., when he first dazzled the world as a virtuoso, I was more impressed by his virtuosity. Now I listen more to the depth of feeling.
I can think of nothing better than listening to my two favorite grand pianists, Lang Lang and the young Russian pianists-Alexander Malofeev-playing Beethoven and Rachmaninoff one who ushered in the Romantic Movement and the other closed the Romantic Movement in classical music. Everyone who loves this music knows Beethoven and Rachmaninoff as well as Lang Lang. But not everyone may know about Alexander Malofeev. I have listened to almost everything he has had posted on CZcams and his talent, charm and music capability as well as his ability to show what and how he feels about the music he is playing through his eyes and face is nothing short of miraculous and so much like Lang Lang.
His perfection of what he plays is nothing short of genius. There are so many young talented pianists trying to make their mark in the music world today but only one or two have the ability to break through the glass ceiling that holds them to mediocrity. But just as Lang Lang broke through the glass so has Mr. Malofeev. He will one day be, in my opinion and in the opinions of so many others who are familiar with his talent and artistry, be recognized as one of the very few greatest pianists who has given the world a loving gift with his talent.
As to this performance by Lang Lang like all his performances it is one of his very best. So what if his debatable body motions are somewhat distractions, does one attend a performance to stare at the artist or to listen to his artistry, talent and the music the pianist plays with his or her fingers? If the former then you are wasting your money attending a performance like this one. Just go, close your eyes and listen. Then you won’t be bothered. Lang Lang is a true genius. No, he is not the replacement for Vladimir Horowitz for no one is and may never be and he has never claimed he was. But he is equal to every other pianists living today if not better than all but one or two others. And he is only equal in talent to them.
Thank you, Lang Lang. I have seen you perform live thrice and you have given me all I could ever ask for in a performance by a great performer.
Thank you for your very clear and accurate perception
I would say that attending a performance has to do with both, yes both, aspects: the listening AND the visual. How could it be otherwise? If one is bothered and distracted by unusual facial and bodily gestures made by the player, then the viewer should stare down at the floor for the whole performance?
And regarding the "expressiveness" of Malofeev's "eyes and face", it's pretty well non-existant. His face retains a shall we say, a neutral quality, and his perfunctory way of bowing shows not the slightest "connection" with the audience. He may as well be bowing before a brick wall.
However, I've enjoyed some (but by no means all) of his performances, and perhaps five years from now , he will have shed his general tendency of choosing tempos that simply don't correspond to the composers' intentions. In that regard, there's an attractive pianist (first name Khatia) out there whose concept of the "giusto" (i.e. "right") tempo is is as far from the mark as Hawaii is from California.
Bravo.also the orchestra played beautifully. Conductor all together. Everything was perfect.
Nr. 4 is my favorite Beethoven Piano concert. And Lang Lang performs it beautifully. What a great present for the soul and the mind. Greetings from Santiago, Chile !
To me this is Beethoven playing his own music. The second movement is absolutely sublime. Lang Lang you were born to play the masters music.
Великолепный музыкант с настоящей душой, чувствует и способен передать замысел....
Just watched this 4th again, I don’t think anyone could possible do this better than Lang Lang, he is virtuosic in every way imaginable, I applaud and like other pianists, but Lang Lang has that certain “something”, he’s still no. 1for me! Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🎶🍃🌹🍃❤️🍃🎶
_As a soloist my self, I always loved those moments like @ __14:43__ when I knew that I had completely nailed a passage! The smile on Lang Lang's face is pure musical gold! Talking about split seconds in timing of interpretation to get perfection, I love him!_ 😍

@@elenazlatescu1794I agree, Elena!
Yes, EXACTLY!!!
Lang Lang is a joy to watch and listen too. The older generation classic piano masters, always looked so damned miserable at being kept alive and awake. At last we have person who shows his is alive while playing.
I would be miserable too...never having any free time, and having to perform like a trained seal, for a bunch of savage, stupid, bipedal apes--masquerading as "aristocrats", wouldn't you?
Agree
Superficial comment
😂😂😂
郎朗应该是在对音乐的热爱，激情，快乐和自信中成长的。
You're saying that older generation classical pianists looked miserable as they played? I'm too stupefied by this statement to be able to respond to it.
One of the greatest pianist ever
His fingers movements are unbelievable!!!
Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 expresses human's deep sorrow, agony, and the emotion of victory overcoming it, while No. 4 is very elegant and beautiful as the river flows toward the sea. I can't help but love these two concertos
Words fail me to express my feelings listening to Lang Lang playing. In any case an enormous joy I rarely feel. Such a wonderful and expressive artist, I am deeply in love with Lang Lang. Thanks for the upload.
Lang Lang is a truely great artist!
This rendition brings tears to my eyes! Beethoven would be proud of this truly great pianist! He brings everything out with such power and emotion. If I didn’t know better I can envision the great Beethoven playing it.
Not enough superlatives to describe this stunning performance.,.Sublime.

Favoloso commento. Un pianista concertista indescrivibile bellezza delicatezza. Coinvolgente emozionante, 🎶🌹🎶
Well said 👏
speechless... that was unbelievable
First of all , recording sound is very good and vision is very clear , Lang Lang was 22 when he performed at this concert , I think he is the most expressive , most passionate pianist , his gesture for performance is same as now , definitely not clown as people think , his skill and musical accuracy lead to way success up to now , this is excellent performance as 22 year old young man . Thank you for let me to have opportunity to watch great concert !!
I quite agree
Fu, Beethoven was that age when he /wrote/ the piece. Age is no excuse for lack of talent! ;-) Nah seriously, I do respect Lang Lang. This was before the Barenboim masterclasses on structure and keeping the pulse that he himself created. This is the most difficult music to play for Lang lang, because it demands a huge concentration and an orderly mind, overview, structure, to keep such different fragmented music together in 1 whole grand piece. Beethoven was not very much ad libitum, although the long pauses seem to suggest it. Lang lang is a romanticist who enjoys dwelling in the moment. It's a beautiful recording to watch. Because that, in itself, is the lesson that Beethoven the Magnificent is teaching us, in my view, with this concerto: all will come together, the sweet and the bitter, it is all one.
This is the Philadelphia Orchestra! Lang Lang performs with them often. This is a excellent performance.
Zn0rkus Actually, he wrote it when he was 35
Would like to hear him now in 2018.
As many many times as I heard Maestro Eschenbach and the wonder full Artist Lang Lang together, it is always like a first time magical Concert. What a fantastic match these 2 outstanding Masters are. Both Masters put their Heart and Soul into every note. Thank YOU for letting us enjoy your Music on You Tube. Beethoven has blessed You both many times, I am sure.
Yes, really enjoying Eschenbach and the orchestra’s accompaniment (I know this is 5 years after you posted, but I appreciate your comment even if I’m late to the party :)
I have listened to this specific piece by Lang Lang for a thousand times, and every time I listen to it, I can't help being attracted by the beauty of this classic work, consisting of Lang Lang's passion, accuracy, emotions, and personal interpretation. AND, he was only 22 years old when he performed this. How incredible he is! You will understand why he is so successful. His fingers have been kissed by God, for sure.
Just love him! That's all I've to say!
He has been practising piano for hours every day since his childhood.That contributes to him being one of the best pianists in the world. His emotional interpretation is also masterful.
It is delightful to see that there are more than 2 million views for this video after three years. It was so few views three years ago that I couldn't believe why people didn't find this peal of treasure. This is still one of my favourite performances by Lang Lang. I hope I will come again to make some comments after another three years.
The last concerto preformed by Beethoven himself. This is arguably (IMHO, of course) his finest work other than the late quartets. This piece is like a nearly flawless jewel set in the crown of classical music history. If ever there was an deeply convincing argument of Beethoven as a transcendent musical genius, this may be it.
The late piano Sonatas starting at 28 and his last string quartet are Beethoven at his most personal and complex .It takes perspective and lots of listening over the years to realize how otherworldly they are. particularly the final triad which are a transcendent revelation.
Well also the Missa Solemnis, at least this is what he said by himself, that it was the best that he has ever written
Through this piece of art, put together by the composer, the pianist, the conductor, and the orchestra, I see divinity of our species, which is not always obvious, especially in a year like the current one (2022).
Well said! I agree!
Almost anything by Beethoven brings tears to my eyes
Why?
I absolutely adore this piano concerto - the passion that is in it is second to none... Lang Lang plays it to perfection, as does the orchestra... Wonderful...
This was the first performance I have ever heard of Lang Lang (been living in Africa for 40 years) I did not know that such perfection, clarity, joy and passion were possible. This is mind-blowing (added to by his obvious love for the music and his craft).
I have heard this concerto many times, but Lang Lang makes each note sing. So much emotion and power combined. Classical music is the only I call music
B.
Esattamente. 🎶fa cantare ogni nota!!! 🎶
Die Antwort liegt in der "Klangphysik" warum die Klassische Musik in ihrer Tonalitaet die einzig "stimmige" Klangstruktur aufweist in ihrer "Schwingungszahlresonanz"...alles andere "Kakophonie" in bester Profitabilitaet der Darbietungsstrategen und der "bieder abgestimmten" Zuhoererscharen...
Magnifico
Lang Lang is amazing....such a joy to listen to...thanks Ludwig...
Just wonderful, Lang Lang is using his incredible talent! His performance is a piece of heaven!

BEETHOVEN your music brings such joy to my heart. I will never tire of listening to your works. NOW with the iPad I have the added experience of seeing the artist, the conductor and the many orchestras around our world. Lang Lang such sensitive playing. and how you were feeling was clearly expressed on your face and in your fingers.CONGRATULATIONS to the Conductor, orchestra and to LANG LANG. Carmel Australia
Listening to Lang Lang’s Concerto is ecstasy!❤
He can put whatever expression he wants into the music because he can hit the notes with so much in reserve. A pleasure to hear.
+Joe Deegan Totally agreed !!!
I want to hear Lang Lang in 2018. Any chance of that happening?
just finished listening to him playing Mozart #24 from 2018 on You-tube. Enjoy!
Sheer poetry!
Thank you so much Lang Lang, I really really enjoyed watching you playing this amazing and awesome piece of music 🎶 with such passion and sensitivity too. And I can see at times how much you are enjoying playing the the interaction with the conductor is amazing too. I don’t understand people who put down negative comments, they’re obviously not music 🎶 lovers. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
You cannot only listen to Lang Lang without seeing him. Listen and watch Lang Lang is one complete package. He was successfully interpret complex passage into a simple beautiful message that listener can enjoy. That what's Maestro means. Bravo!
Lang Lang is outstanding in his technic, fluency and understanding of the composer he represents.
Maiden's prayer interpreted by Lang Lang is sheer bliss
To those who say Lang Lang is all show, listen to the slow movement and marvel at the depth of his musical communication with the orchestra and the audience.
Chi dice che LanLang "è tutto spettacolo". Non ama la musica tanto meno la capisce. Dispiace, .. La sue parole.... 🎶🌹🎶
Lang Lang is brilliant,I had the privilege to listen to him attending the Toronto Tso
WE CAN'T ONLY LISTEN TO LANG LANG, WE ALSO HAVE TO SEE HIM!! IT'S MAGICAL!!
What a sensitive and soulful performance!
I am just expressing my mind to those hurtful, negative criticisms thrown at Lang Lang. Those critics knows they couldn't compete with Lang Lang's competency and brilliant skills especially on connecting with other musician to convey the beautiful notes and expressively display his emotions! Also I observed the most of his Beethoven 's concerto he is paired with equally masterful Christof Eschenbach! Both of them brilliantly bring the Beethoven's concerto to the audience's enjoyment and satisfaction!👍🎹🎶🎵👏👏🎈🎈🎈❤️🇨🇦 So to those who don't like to listen Lang Lang pack up and leave.
It is a great privilege to know Lang.
He's treating every piece from Beethoven as the master art including "fur Elise".
He makes every piece of music just great, with feelings and talent
With no doubt, Mr Lang Lang is an outstanding pianist. He really feels music deeply and his performances are sublime. I definetely enjoy his playing, specially Mozart´s and Beethoven´s piano works. Thanks to GreatPerformers1 for letting us hear this kind of music.
I haven’t seen negative comments but I have listened to him play and being a piano player myself, he is IMHO probably the very best currently active pianist. He has the POWER, ACCURACY, and musicianship above and beyond his contemporaries! Most of them WISH they could play half as well as he.
so late to this thread, but just came across this video. it seems to me a bit absurd to be arguing about which artist's performance is better; LL or anyone else's. To me, all that matters is whether any performance touches you in a fundamental way, and for me, Lang Lang's performance is transporting. I really don't care about whose trills are better etc.; it's all about whether the performance reaches your soul. And for me, this performance by Lang Lang is incomparable; his second movement is ethereal, and close to what I suspect Beethoven felt as he wrote it (no, I don't have any evidence to support this....). But the passion, and the pathos in this performance is remarkable. So let's just enjoy an amazingly gifted pianist, without all of the "mine is better than yours" b.s.......
william nimmo hi, you have said exactly how I feel. This was a fabulous concerto by the two best people conductor and Lang Lang, anyone who fails to feel it, I feel sorry for you. Regards, 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌

I'm 77yrs. young and when I enter the Hallow Gates and St. Peter will welcome me with the 2 movement of this music...then I can say that my life was done on a high note..:-))

聽了很多次，依然熱淚盈眶。感謝朗朗和藝術家們!
Absolutely beautiful! 😍
Buenísimo !!!
A brilliant musician.It is a pleasure ro listen to his interpretation of Beethoven's piano concert
(MY HEART) belongs to Lang Lang. He belongs to all of us to have the opportunity to observe such magnificent artistry. Reverently. We watch. ❤️
Superb. Lang Lang might just be the perfect person to play this incredible work.
I simply love this one with Lang Lang and Eschenbach and his orchester...PERFECT
The music really breathes and expresses its true expression through the exact tempo of the music. The expressiveness of this interpretation is based on a millisecond REAL tempo of this divine music.
Truly brilliant. The first time I have heard a performance to match that of Julius Katchen’s in the 1960s.
21למחוק !!!#!!!!!!!!!!!,
Would have been good if this reply were not in Hebrew?
No
Lang lang plays beautifully, he earned it, and Beethoven, pure genius, the two are matched. Thank you.
My favorite of Lang Lang's performance, come back again and again to hear him again.
Thank you Lang Lang.
I love this concert and Lang Lang performing it is simply WONDERFUL!! HE'S REALLY THE BEST!!!!
I am not a big fan of Lang Lang. But this is the very best rendition of this magnificent concerto IMO.
Göktuğ Kaya Listen, please, to his illuminating performance of Schumann's ABEGG Variations, his Chopin E-Minor Concerto, and his recital of two Mozart sonatas and Chopin;s Four Ballades at the Proms. If you are not a committed fan by then, you probably never will be. I am a well-trained pianist (Eastman, Juilliard, Mannes) now 74 years old, who played very well, indeed, but never in my wildest dreams could I ever have hoped to accomplish anything that could be compared to the superlative achievements of Lang Lang.
Hyramess Hiramess Many thanks for the references, Sir. I will listen to those performances.
Göktuğ Kaya I can't wait for Lang Lang to actually conduct! I don't know if he would be interested in conducing. Lang Lang's interpretation and articulation are perfection!
Creamiee Usako True. He brings a really different breath to every piece. I am not very fond of his articulation on Chopin pieces. However it is definitely not the case with Beethoven. His rubatos are out of this world. Maybe because Beethoven is more universal and Chopin needs that "western touch" more ?
***** Yes. One example of that masculine touch is the powerfully accentuated left hand chords at 15:19. I have never heard those chords being played so strongly.
❤ 🙌 Lang Lang is a delight of feelings. I love this concert. This is amazing.
The Cleveland Orchestra is one of the best in the world!!!
A masterful performance of Beethovens 4 Concerto. A real joy to listen too.
I loved this performance by Lang Lang.. the precision, depth and playfulness was a treat. The orchestra was deliciously on point, and winds, notably oboe and bassoon solos, exquisite. Eschenbach’s perfectly incisive direction added stunning clarity and line. Truly epic…❤️
Merveilleux Lang Lang ! Quel bonheur de débuter une journée avec cette musique qui vous remue jusqu'au plus profond de votre âme ! Merci aux interprètes .......
Lang-Lang génial interprétant un compositeur génial,accompagné par un Eshenbach particulièrement en verve,cela donne un concert prestigieux et mémorable.
Almost beyond compare for the beauty, expression, perfection and elan of this outstanding performance.
Young Lang Lang stayed with the musical manuscript instead of infusing his own style. Doing otherwise would not be fitting to the greatest piano concerto. Along with Mitsuko Uchida this was an outstanding performance.
I think he is excellent in this performance a 100 score. The camera angel also suits this piece.
There's a camera angel? Wow!
wow i didn't even see the camera angel until you mentioned it! It's really beautiful, just like the music :)
What a wonderful performance! Full of passions and energy! I was totally blown away! Thanks for providing such a great performance for us!
i smiled. and laughed. emoji.
What the hell for?@@KingOfGringos
Love to listen to him playing - he is a real gift.
The 4th is not only my favorite Beethoven Piano Concerto but one of my all-time favorite works. Serkin is my favorite but Lang Lang is also a giant.
Lang Lang is a wounderful pianist and his music is like the clouds...Soft ...sometimes....and bigs another times...I Love him .
What can you say about this exhibition of pure talent, Lang Lang is Music, it’s in his soul! And he shows it! Have the Video of this performance, it’s used a lot, then I found this on u Tube a while ago! magnificent, particularly the 2 Nd movement! Australia
I've always wonder how the Conducting thing works...all I see is a guy moving his hands and getting excited at times or acting very calm...lol.
I wish I understand more about this soon.
This lang lang guy makes it look easy to play the piano...he doesn't struggle at all.
I got tired of looking for other interpretations of this concert and so far I haven't found a better one. It would be impossible to describe all the details but rest assured that it is one of the best conductings by both conductor and soloist.
This is a magnificent piece of music played by an immensely talented artist. Thanks so very much for posting.
@Lang Lang
How does Lang Lang do it, he's magical
Lang Lang is absolutely fantastic, such a gifted young man, excellent technique and interpretation, Mariana Grinblat
Played and Conducted with Heart and Soul. Wat an amazing Team including this amazing Orchestra. What a Joy and Dream, what a priviledge to hear them in the peace ad quiet of my Home. Thank You.
Спасибо за прекрасное исполнение концерта Бетховена в исполнении Ланг Ланг и чудесного дирижёра.Браво.

Maravilhoso! Suzana Bastos.Brasil.
Sua técnica inigualável.
Increíble música, maravillosas notas del genio Beethoven. Pero también un gran virtuoso del piano Lang Lang ejecuta este concierto con absoluta concentración. Gracias por tanta virtud.
To Adesoji, Yes, he certainly is, the best this generation will see, xx
Amazing fusion between everyone on the stage!
Lang Lang has matured quite a lot in his playing, adding to it a depth that only years of playing can bring. It was nice to see him on a video of a master class he took with Barenboim--whom I think, for my taste, is a master equal to the best, when it comes to Beethoven's piano works, going back to his recording of the concertos with Klemperer a half century ago.
Sublime!!!!!!génial Lang Lang !!!!!!!!
Oh, the excitement, as fresh as ever, when Beethoven launches us into the finale - a trick he develops in the 5th, of course - and Lang is right with it! Great!
Don’t you just LOVE Beethoven!
Lang Lang est un maitre!!! Incomparable.
When I listen to this, I feel a powerful flow of life, blossoming nature, a wide river flow during spring.
You don't have to be cautious, folks, to proclaim the 4th concerto as Beethoven's best. It is in a class with his last 3 piano sonatas and the Grosse Fuge.
A most accomplished performance - this from someone not much a fan of the apparently uncontrolled theatricality and mannerisms from the soloist - and maestro Eshenbach also does justice the composer. Very good sound, too.
Unbelievable!!! ❤
Beethoven will be enjoing with Lang Lang's performance
He plays with the heart. Thanks you so much.
Göttlich, Lang Lang ist der größte, wie macht er das alles bloß? Best, wow....!!!
Er spielt tief vom innersten seines Herzen
I am sorry this music I just so unforgettable. It brings out everything, no hiding, everything is out in the open. It will leave you blushing. I know more about Beethoven's personality from this masterpiece more than any book.
This is unbelievable!
Lang Lang e Eshenbach uma dupla perfeita
Lo he visto muchas veces y me sigue emocionado. Qué maravilloso músico es Lang Lang.
I am glad he stayed with the musical score and did not try to improvise on one of the most beautiful and colorful piano concertos showing Beethoven's genius.
