Assolutamente meraviglioso! Questo si chiama " cantare al pianoforte". Si sentono tutte le linee melodiche, alternate fra mano destra e sinistra, in maniera sublime. La tecnica al servizio della musica. Grandissimo!
Out of the 80+ performances ive heard from Lang Lang, this is the 3rd good performance I've heard from Lang Lang! Perhaps Lang Lang is maturing more and more. Clean phrases, surprisingly tender touch (this was the most tender I've seen this piece being played! Which is the highest of compliments for a piece made by Schumann to his wife), as well as a unique insight. Bravo! 👏
Legit question, what might Lang Lang be internalizing when he was playing this piece? Gawd, I feel in heaven!!! EDIT: Literally, with all the smoke machines, it is heaven, lol!!!
I mean no disrespect but wtf ..it's like combining sugar with marmalade, Nutella, honey and maple syrup and eating it all together. No need to exagerate everything. And that stuff in the background? So distracting.
The tempo is crazy slow, difficult to not fall asleep during the execution… more like a berceuse than a Lieder I wonder what Lang Lang find at the celling, he’s always looking up 🤔
He probably tried to meet the criticism that he was performing without emotion. I think this is far better than his very technical performances of many other pieces, but still it does not really reach me. He misses to emphasize the strong romantic longing inscribed in the piece. Playing slowly just isn't enough. I don't think Lang is a good performer of Romantic music.
Ok I have never been to a serious classical concert where there was a fog machine. I was waiting for the clowns to enter but thank god it never happened. Sorry he’s a clown pianist with a really decent technique but there are thousands of college students that deserve his career at the moment.
I love how he played (sans the recording). "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Music is personal too. "should", "could", "would", ........... Maybe you should, if you would, play the piece in the way you like, if you could, for your own self? 🙄🙄
