The first time I heard this piece was when my best friend in highschool played this when we were goofing around in the school hall during the break. I was just standing behind him in awe watching that grazy right hand jumping. I had never seen anything like that on piano.
This is probably something you do, when you are the best; play one of the hardest piano pieces and go like "Yeah, I'm going to have some fun playing this." This piece was originally composed as a violin piece by Paganini. In addition to the violin you have a little bell ringing, hence the name "La Campanella" (ital. The little bell). Franz Liszt made it a piano pieces by and the bell is still represented by the fast high notes.
Lang Lang is one of the best pianists in the world. That kind of skill comes from lots of talent and many years of at least 4 or 5 hours of practice per day. Apart from the years and years of theory, history, composition, analysis, performance tradition and other lessons of course.
Great piece of music , i heard it for the first time at the very first" Prinsengracht "concert wich you have seen by the two brothers Jussen. Then it was the american piano player Barbara Nissman.
its difficult to find a better rendition, this is up there with the best interpretations of la campanella… people find him controversial, but his expertise with lizst, rach, and prokofiev is undeniable
Its one of the most difficult piano pieces (prolly like top 20), it sounds a bit odd because its actually Niccolo Paganini, so violin, not realy designed for piano. Franz Liszt re-arranged it for piano, but it realy hits the roof of technical possibiliets of a piano like everything from Liszt, Chopin, Rachmaninov, R.Korsakov and the likes.
He started piano when he was 3 and his father saw a prodigy in him and was determined to make a concert pianist, his pianist arc is much like how Mozart started but ofcourse Langlang doesnt composed pieces himself, but Mozarts father pushed him to the limits aswell.
Exactly, they are intstrumentalists, not musician, a real musician COMPOSES his/her own songs, not just plays others and cant come up with anything themselves, thats a wannabe musician with no musical talent 😂@@cyc20976
When you fight lvl 100 Endboss but on hard mode wirh one 1HP is what this interpretation feels like and still walking out of the fight with a cup of coffee
He is a technical master but he plays from his soul and that is much more than hitting keys. Also Lang Lang has played the Campanella about 100000 times lol
Wasn't Lizt the one with the gigantic hands, an his pieces were nearly impossible for "normal" people to play? The fact Lang Lang did this so well is an acomplishment.
@arieltabbach4946 wym bruh yall just hating for no reason and still don't understand the joke. Like chill or smthn. All I'm saying that it took em long time like it's nothing to hate lol. Yall are weird
Lang Lang has a great technique we can not say otherwise. However, as an interpreter, I do feel as if he lacks some things. Liking an interpreter or not is absolutely personal (and I think this piece is not the best to show interpretation skills). Martha Argerich is, in my opinion, one of the greatest pianist alive in our time!
This is because he's Chinese. You westerns have conscious and unconscious racism. Lang Lang is one of the greatest pianists that humanity ever produced. This is not debatable.
Talented ??? Go and check Elisey Mysin. If you watched a few of his videos, you can see how extremely versatile a young person (I think he is 12 now) can be on a piano.
