followed his career since an early TV doc when he was very young and supported by his mum and dad. He has grown into one of the world’s greatest pianists, a consummate musician and a wonderful human being
Yes, the same here; it may have been the same documentary I remember watching 🙂 He is so talented, and interesting to listen to when he is being interviewed or is mentoring....he just seems a really nice person.
Lang Lang's Liszt is passionate romantic with of course impeccable technique. Just the right musical magic for this fortunate crowd and an upright in poor acoustics. Amazing.
My hands are too small to play it 😢I can only reach 1 octave +1 and I don't want to rearrange and butcher it. This is my dream song that I wish i could play but never will lol
As good as those two are, neither can hold a candle to Yunchan Lim. Listen to Lim- he is already considered by many to be the greatest pianist of the 21st century.
@lewislevits1193never heard of VA. But what is your point of coming here making such comment? if he’s really that good of musician, he will be recognized by many……. Like Lang Lang. have some respect and manner.
He always plays with such grace and class. He turns all these masterpieces into a heavenly treat. It's not only moving and impactful. It's a tribute to legendary classical composers, and he'd like the world to hear what 'music souls' are all about.
I bet he hasn’t played on an upright for a long time and still he got so much out of it. Just the most generous personable human being, love educating kids and a great dad now. Met him years ago and got his autograph 😊
@lewislevits1193 Yes, you ask - NO is my answer 👎! IDK WHAT you’re talking about - or IF YOU actually play the 🎹 yourself? Lang Lang studied at Curtis, which is even considered to be above the Juilliard School of Music. Also, he was influenced by many others like Gould, Barenboim, Goldberg (for his Bach interpretations), etc. *** I was a classical pianist for more than 1/2 century myself and played THIS piece too in my younger years - although nowhere nearly as well as he does! Composers WRITE the music notes on paper 📝 , but it’s the musicians who actually PLAYS them in their OWN unique style - and imo that’s how it should be, and how I was taught!
Absolutely beautiful playing - gone all goosebumpy listening to it as it's wonderful! What a talented pianist Lang Lang is and what a treat to those listening! I wonder if there were people who stayed who were late for work or an appointment?
I often hear talented trained musicians passing time amusing passengers at this busy station. Then a world renowned classical pianist drops by… it’s like night and day. After that performance, passengers ears won’t be the same for a while. It will be some time before they can appreciate the talent of the mortals again.
Just casually playing one of the most difficult pieces of music ever to embrace an instrument in front of a public audience effortlessly. Lang Lang is one of the GOATs
LMAO neither flight of the bumblebee nor Liebestraum even come close to being one of the most difficult pieces ever written, just because they’re fast. Listen to some Medtner or Alkan
Och I was in London but pitty not there in this time in St.Pancras station.Mr.Lang is not only pianist but nice deep person devoted to play for people giving pleasure beauty of music That's it!Thanks for this gift to God.
Lang Lang is my hero! I was reading a book about him and by him, and he said that his mom bought him a piano at a young age, and then his father started teaching him how to play the piano. He makes him play the piano for about 8 hours a day! I could only get to it for 1 hour and feel tired! Lang Lang has some strength!
@@jponz85 my man watched the first 10 sec of the video and already decided to be a jackass lmfao... he's clearly warming up his fingers with Bumbelbee not actually performing it.
being nervous is a must for performers. That means you are passionate about what you are doing, you want do good. If you are not nervous that means you don't care and you better not perform anymore.
I was actually there to listen to this. Couldn't believe it. I was so thrilled, until I missed my train. Had to wait an hour for the next one. Was late for a very important job interview and didn't get the job.
@@patricksmith1319 Very true. And since then I have found employment elsewhere. Nearer to home as well and 50p extra per hour. So a big thank you to Lang Lang for changing the course of my life, for the better.
@@marlowemarlowe4893 Narrator: Marlowe saved every one of their extra 50 pences and spent them on piano lessons. They then went on to become a concert pianist.
LngLang is kind hearted, noble, humble, BUT MOST OF ALL, HE IS A SUPERB MUSICIAN. TOUCHES OUR HEARTS MINDS AND SOULS. DEEPLY. WITH HIS PIANO PERFIRMANCES.
This is what one gets from dedicating a lifetime to making music. Your presence becomes a magnet. I enjoyed Liszt's "Love's Dream" as I did his first piece. Not sure if that's "Flight of the Bumblebee"❤❤👏👏👏👏
The wild bees danced and played a lively tune, their buzzing melody filled the air. Their movements were swift and their speed was unmatched. They moved with agility, darting here and there, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of rapid motion. The sound of their wings fluttering echoed harmoniously, as if they were playing a fast-paced symphony. These agile creatures painted a picture of grace and energy, showcasing the beauty of nature's incredible creations.
Oh, my gosh!!!!! I hope everyone on spot knowing how lucky they are as enjoying your music in the train station! Please let me know your assistant contact so that I can get the first hand info where I should spot you!!! LOVE your music and passion!!!
Thank goodness everyone recorded it on their phone so that we have 100 copies of exactly the same thing to watch. At least all of them not enjoying his sublime playing as much as they should have was well worth it.
This video is 100 times better than anything anyone is capturing on their phones and still no one could just enjoy the music and download the video later? 😔
I passed Grade 8 at 12 , then LTCL when I was 16, all of a sudden, my father walked away from the family and my mom turned all her anger to me, I stopped my music career since then! 😢 So envy…. A human life well spend….❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As a classical pianist and piano teacher, I say to you, please start playing again! Don't let what happened in your past define you. Have a blessed day!!!
" on a piano specially brought into London’s St Pancras station. ". At first I wondered how it was possible to achieve such a "maestria" and sounds with a "standard" piano in a Railway Station. Obviously, I knew Lang Lang. I am a 100% fan of Lang Lang. May be Steinway & Sons managed to deliver a piano to the Station full speed. "If music be the food of love, play on. Give me excess of it... " Shakespeare.
Ouch, so uneven. I thought I was the only one who couldn’t make an upright respond quick enough. These pianos actually make my hands ache the next day; because the action is so different from a grand. I give him credit for being a good sport. Liebestraum was a better choice. The piano isn’t responsive enough to play Flight of the Bumblebee up to the right tempo. Half of the keys didn’t come back up in time to play them again. 😂😂 Rubinstein used to call these “half instruments.!”
Ya I was about to say the same thing, at first I thought it was his technique but that can't be cuz he's so experienced. I've played on worse and it really damages the performance. I doubt many people noticed unless they are pianists too tho.

You can hear how the poor Boston piano just can't cope with his astounding technique. WHY, of all the pianos in pianodom, did they go for a poor man's Steinway?
Playing this piece makes me feel so powerful - that being said, i play it like im trying to survive computer game in hard mode, with uneven tempo and not as clear of course
I'd say to the boss, "I'm sorry I'm late for work but Lang Lang was playing Liszt in the train station, I had no choice." Serene.
And the boss would say： sure I’d do the same 😊！ anything for great talents!
@@ilovechopin2846 "What is this life, if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare. "
It wasn’t Liszt -it was Rimsky-Korsakoff
Ok, the 2nd one was ….
@@johnwade7430 The first piece was Rimsky-Korsakov, the second was Liszt.

Since the first time I heard his piano i. Became her fan. I m still
He had clean notes and still do it. ❤
The people who's here today such blessings to see Lang Lang in person to enjoy the beautiful sound of piano that he played wish I'm here 💖
Great pianist and very generous to play at the train station to let people enjoy his great performance!
I can almost hear the soul of every note liberated, floating away in the station.
Yes I do feel that
Este cel. mai bun!❤️🌹🥀💐
Why am I having tears in my eyes the moment he plays the Liszt piece 😢
PERFECT DESCRIPTION❤
This guy has magic fingers. Simply mesmerizing performance even at a train station.
It was incredibly generous of him to play in the mall, where people who might not be able to afford a ticket to his concerts could enjoy his skills.
If you’re shopping at a mall in 2023, money would clearly not be an issue
It’s a train station
@@KrisD007 that has a mall in it
These oublic performances often target a wide audience of any type. Particularly one that might never see someone play publicly.
His performance teaches me how soft tunes can deliver the greatest impact.
Lang Lang's Liszt is passionate romantic with of course impeccable technique. Just the right musical magic for this fortunate crowd and an upright in poor acoustics. Amazing.
The Leibesträume is sublime. To me, it is the most romantic, passionate piece of music ever written.
LIEbestraum
My hands are too small to play it 😢I can only reach 1 octave +1 and I don't want to rearrange and butcher it. This is my dream song that I wish i could play but never will lol
Aww. Try moonlight sonata by Beethoven. Very romantic.😅
That's the future: amazing artists performing for the people, for free, for the heart.
He’s just so awesome! Was a pleasure to meet and shake hands with one of the greats!! 🙌❤️🎹
So lucky of you 🎉 I’m so jealous!!!
Ooh, I'm so jealous... what a delightful treat for you!
I'm also a fan of this amazing musician, also a nice human being...
Lang Lang is such an amazing pianist. He's a role model for all the young pianists like me.
@Lewis Levits thank you, I will definitely listen to Vladimir because I don't know him yet.

Gift from the Gods! Great pianist as well as human being! Did so much for Classical music and bringing children into music!
Lang Lang, a humble man of the the people with a God-given talent which he enthusiastically shares with the world.
God given talent without countless hours of right practice would have equaled to almost zero.
Wonderful .what a thrill for those lucky enough to be in the station.
Lang Lang is one of top pianoists in the world in my opinion in the top 5!! He's a Great guy! 😊
""PIANOIST"????? Really?
Lmao bro said pianoist
okay pianoists
@@JSBach-pd4yg you are not real
hes good but definitely not top 5
Wow Lang Lang that was so beautiful! You play with such grace. If I were there I would have surely missed my train to hear you play
Absolutely beautiful playing - gone all goosebumpy listening to it as it's wonderful! What a talented pianist Lang Lang is and what a treat to those listening! I wonder if there were people who stayed who were late for work or an appointment?
Lang Lang strikes me as one of the kindest people alive to listen to all the young people who want a chance at recognition
Beautiful and what a humble and wonderful human being. A life well spent.

So much feeling in his playing . The music almost stops with his romantic emphasis .
Lang Lang makes any upright piano sound like a grand piano! 😁👍
Really! 😍
Hahaha sounds awful
So happy for all the people who cannot afford to buy a ticket at the opera. More performers should bring music closer to the streets.
Just casually playing one of the most difficult pieces of music ever to embrace an instrument in front of a public audience effortlessly. Lang Lang is one of the GOATs
LMAO neither flight of the bumblebee nor Liebestraum even come close to being one of the most difficult pieces ever written, just because they’re fast. Listen to some Medtner or Alkan
In another video, this young man did an absolutely wonderful 'Fur Elise'!
Long Live Lang Lang. He is gifted
Pianina asta ar trebui păstrată într-un muzeu. Peste ani, va avea o valoare artistică enormă !
What a precious gift Lang Lang has been given .when i listen to him playing i am close to heaven..

Agree
Lang Lang is a super star within the classical music circuit and having him play at a train station concourse is incredible. 😊
Thankyou so much for posting this so we could all share in these exceptional moments!
I had the pleasure to see Lang Lang live a couple of weeks ago and it was magical. Pair him with MIKA and it’s just pure wonder!
He feels every note.
being nervous is a must for performers. That means you are passionate about what you are doing, you want do good.
If you are not nervous that means you don't care and you better not perform anymore.
Saw his wife Gina Alice in the crowd filming him just like a fan! How sweet!

I can't stop watching and listening...
こんな雑踏の中でも挨拶した後、即に集中力を持って格も美しい愛の夢を弾かれるのは流石に稀に見るピアニストですね！感涙しました！
He played liebestraum perfect for in a public station on this Boston piano!! Especially the melodie line to give it a bit more power
Throws down my favorites. Unreal. Wish I was there.
With his magical fingers he can be a heart surgeon if he wanted to.
Excellent performance. So happy to listen to it.❤🎉😊👏👏👏
