Lang Lang & Thomas Chan -- Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto NO.1 

I don't know why people are criticizing his mistakes (the boy) - it is after all a "class" not an actual performance. I think he did a fantastic job and he will be a great pianist if he keeps it up. To all those who are quick to judge and criticize, what Masterpiece did YOU play at 11 years of age?

Lang Lang as always Very kind, Very polite, Very sweet....GREAT pianist! Respect!

I admire how confident and relaxed Lang Lang is. Even him flipping the score page is stylish and in beat. 2:09

I could watch Lang Lang’s masterclasses, all day, it is so valuable to students and me!

Lang Lang very patient here, knowing the kids level and adjusting the masterclass to it while trying to enthusiast and relaxing the kid to keep on performing and not to be too nervous.

At age 11 I was a great Super Nintendo player.

I admire the artist, but I get to admire even more the great dedicated teacher. That's when you really show your true greatness, dear Lang Lang.

Lang Lang is such a good teacher and always so encouraging to the young students.

Kudos to Lang Lang’s parents for their role in raising such an wonderful human being.

Just because LangLang isnt a tchaikovsky specialist doesnt mean he cant teach tchaikovsky. Hes plenty good enough.

Wow how one single class changed this boy career!!! Amazing!

朗朗真的厉害！！！在立式琴上就弹出了整个乐队的声音

Thomas is a very talented boy and Lang Lang an excellent piano professor.

nice teacher, lang lang. I like his outreach to the younger gen. kind person, I guess.

Was very reluctant to chime in, but kudos to Lang Lang for having just the right touch in every respect. He gave very kind guidance, culminating in "don't kill yourself." It was such an honest and gentle way of saying that Thomas should grown into this piece, it's a little bit beyond his grasp right now. But he was completely encouraging, and above all supportive, while telling the boy he should focus on practicing with love, not to be a keyboard gladiator, which will only backfire. Just the right "touch." Btw, beautiful playing from Lang Lang on thd orchestra part, clearly showing his years of experience (probably a hundred performances) of this piece. What I enjoyed most about it was the freshness he played it with: clearly knows the music inside out, but this was an opportunity to be "on thd other end," and he brought out the nuances as only someone with that experience could, even more than a conductor who can only convey the interpetation through other musicians. Here you had the orchestra part refined to its purests essence that an actial orchestra would dilute. So I'm rather in agreemebt with those finding this strangely nicer than a real orchestra. This also of course made it more intimate, less bombastic than a 60 piece orchestra. So much to appreciate in this, but most of all Lang lang's gentle supportiveness and genuine caring towards a very accomplished pupil who must take care that ambition (his own or perhsps his parents') doesn't become counterproductive. "Don't break your hands." "Don't kill yourself." Seems to me those are wise, and truly caring, words.

Absolutely LOVE and ADMIRE Lang Lang !!! He makes this music come alive! Lots and lots and lots of love!!!

朗朗has a great sense of humor and he always shows that in these classes with students.

11 years old and already playing the tchaikovsky concerto! Amazing! I am trying to learn this now and i must say, he must be so proud of his efforts and the way he executes the music.

What a kind and generous man is Lang Lang. His passion and enthusiasm to help this kid shows great admiration for the young and upcoming young lad. Even I learnt a thing or two. Good on you Lang Lang . Great masterclass which had me spellbound.

Lang Lang does a fine job offering constructive suggestions to this talented lad. Correcting his overuse of the pedal will be the defining moment for his playing to make a quantum leap.

Lang Lang is a wonderful teacher and role model. Meanwhile, that kid's a very bright muscian--a quick study who immediately understood the coaching he was receiving in phrasing and articulation. Beautiful to watch this.

Wonderful. And thank you Lang Lang for your contribution to young people everywhere..of course I am always enjoying your beautiful music mastery. Thank you. DeeKing USA

What a brilliant man and inspiring teacher Mr Lang Lang is

Absolutely love this kids talent at such a young age, and absolutely love Lang Lang

Lang Lang is so kind. He visit this gifted young child man just by himself. I like their moving gesture.

I've already played for 40 hours today, but this inspires me to play even more!

that steinway sounds absolutely beautiful and the kid is doing that amazing piano justice

He truly has an amazing teaching style. so great at inspiring his pupils!

What a confident young man. Love Lang Lang doing this

Lang Lang playing on a upright!?!?!?!?! :O

oh to have had Lang Lang as my teacher when I was 11!! Wonderful to see him bring out the best from this already magnificent young pianist .

another young genius - so wonderful to hear and watch how Langlang teaches. All awesome.

I love how when the kid started having memory slips near the end lang lang noticed and gave him the music.

Lang LAng is such a great teacher. Good job Thomas. We're always impressed seeing the challenges you tackle. In a few years, this piece will be fit you perfectly and everything else will seem easy!

him at 11 : *plays with Lang Lang* me at 11 : *cries in a masterclass*

I am inspired by the music langlang play and he is a respectful and polite pionist

Whilst I absolutely abhorred Lang Lang as an artist, I adore what he does for the classical repertoire by bringing it to the masses as well as his work with the youth.

Thomas a very clever boy. He absorbs Lang Lang's instructions really fast.

I'm not even going to read the comments but I already imagine people strongly opposing against this kid. To be honest I'm never too amazed by prodigies and I'm quite sceptic when I read about them but this kid was indeed quite good. I wasn't expecting an excellent performance but the kid delivered something, he wasn't perfect made few mistakes. The interpretation wasn't always great but reasonably enough, a 11 years old doesn't have too much to give, he's literally not old enough. The point is, for his age this is amazing.

Thomas Chan should be 21 by now.................Best wishes to him on Christmas.............Dec.24th 2021 ❤❤❤

I could learn a lot from Lang Lang’s teaching video. Thank you for sharing!

Totally ! I am totally Amazed by the kid braveness . and I WISH he could teach me as well

Thomas proves he is a very good student , quickly applying direct and worthy criticism. It’s a class, Lang Lang is the master- Thomas improved his “sound” technique instantly- thanks for the upload.

“Play always as if in the presence of a master.” ― Yan Ayrton Bravissimo Thomas Chan ! This is the ethernal magic from Music - solidarity, superior Beauty and excellence don't matters the limits from age.A perfect duo example, in a unique, sensible and definitive performance for the Universe.The others not-humans intelligences are receptive for this kind of man (by a child) brilliant transcendence and communion. ARS SEMPER.VITA PLENA. Very sincerely , the young&old classical composer Yan Ayrton

Lang lang is so cute kind and respectful to young pianists

The problem with perfection is that it makes us think art is easy. It is not. Thanks Lang and Thomas to reminds us, to show us that to attain perfection is such a "lang lang" road.

This quietly young boy is brilliant and has a wonderful future. It’s interesting to watch Lang Lang the master pick up those free areas which needed more attention. I’m a piano examiner and see this all the time. It’s important to practice slow and carefully and to get everything right and not blur with the pedal .

Love u Lang Lang Sweety polite pianist

Does anyone see, how Lang Lang tries to stop the crowd at 3:30 from making photos? This flash is so anoying when you play an instrument.

Lovely performance by student and teacher....no complaints from me

Asian father be like: "ok son but are you doctor yet?"

This kid is 11 and plays Tchaikovsky's 1st piano concerto, I'm 16 and I'm struggling to play Glassy Sky....

you can take pictures before the performance but not during the performance，it's courtesy.

ai, meu DEUSSSS!!! EU AMOOOOO ISSOOO!!! Ele é um gênio da música! E tocando Concerto N 1 de Tchaikovsky é pra me matar de vez... ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Thomas Chan , BRAVÒ .!😄

🎶Lang Lang fantastico in ogni momento.... Persona meravigliosa 🎶

Ce înseamnă să ai un mentor ca megastarul LANG LANG !

Everyone know Lang Lang is master, but young can win in the future International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition. Congratulations from Poland, homeland of Chopin for Thomas Chan.

Lang Lang has a beautiful smile and always looks great.

Fun and fresh , a wonderful song for an opening,really.

Yo a esa edad escuchaba ésta introducción de éste concierto cómo cortina de radio novela qué transmitía la emisora. Siempre soñé con tocar el piano pero los recursos económicos fue un tremendo problema... Hasta ahora, sólo sueño y soy un simple melomano. Gracias.

Fantastic Lang Lang. Be blessing for others. So proud to see this video. Here I support your channel my friend. Greeting from California.

My favorite concerto.This young man is doing great.He has a wonderful teacher. Yang Yang

Me too, as DRQ DRN - absolutly love to Lang Lang!!! Lots of love and light!!!! God bless you!

Amazing! eleven years old.And ...if Tchaikovsky was listen to this ?? ...Thank you ...this video.

Lang Lang is made of music! Is music in himself!

Amazing performance for 11 year old.

We all love you so much.You are os good with children.

I wish my music teacher was like this.

Lang Lang is a gift to us all

Everyone has his own favorite players. If you don't like this video, nobody is asking you to watch it. Come on, give Thomas Chan a break. After all, he is only 11 years old. For those who are casting negative comments on his playing, could you have played or have you attempted to play this difficult piece? Lang Lang admitted he did not play this piece until he was 13 years old. And for those of you who do not know this, Tchaikovsky was gay and had to keep it hidden from the public. He had a miserable and loveless marriage, and committed suicide. But what a legacy of great music he left for posterity. Gay people are born gay, and we must accept this. At least the Supreme Court has recognized them and has given them the right to marry in all 50 states.

AMAZING TALENT!!

When I saw this video last year I was 11 and I was barely learning to play piano and I got inspired and now I can perfectly play Tchaikovsky at age 12

Wonderful lesson by a maestro to an extremely talented youngster. I think he gets his points across expressively and the lad improves each time he intervenes. My goodness it's hard to play!

Lang Lang is a fucking artist.

Hahaha Lang Lang completely took over the whole performance

this kid is amazing. at that age i played row row row your boat

lang lang sounds so good on the upright piano Hahaha

Well..... I’m speechless, Lang Lang can stretch a twelfth so can Thomas

果然郎桑气势很适合这种气场雄伟的曲子

oh my god... he has super big hands

Feel the space. Why did that make such a difference 😂 literally changed how it sounded completely

all the haters wish they could play this lo,

11 year old playing Tchaikovsky 1? Wow!!!

¡¡¡UN GENIO, Y OTRO PEQUEÑO GENIO!!!!

Lang Lang, le Génie 🎹

Great talent.Greeting from Sweden.

love it

Loved it. One must LEARN . No pansy stuff....

I know this might be wrong. But I prefer double piano than a complete concert symphonie ^_^

omg that‘s impressive, both Lang Lang and Thomas

Its incredible how 1 note in chord can make huge diferent in sound... I start playing piano and for is abstraction but sounds amazing :P

8:24 Lang Lang is cute. He is a pretty nice man, very patient.

Langlang seems to control himself not to blow up the upright and overwhelm the kid...

Avec un professeur coment ne pas évoluer ?Tu es un immense pianiste ét plein d'humour THANKS.😊

Bit young for this concerto, he doesn't have the depth of feeling and emotion, but hey, I couldn't do it so good luck xxxxx

Changing your whole style on the whim is really hard hes trying to account for Lang Lang's advice whilst playing insanely hard music

He's a good teacher

Amazing thanks

Poor little boy, he really has a VERY good potention and talent, but 1st of Tchaik is not a good choice for small hands and children power...
