The best in the world. period! Maniac on the keys! WOW!!!! Brilliant!!! High emotions!! No one, no one, plays Liszt or Rachmaninoff or any classical composer like Lang Lang! BRAVO!! You are my inspiration! And love your master classes with all the kids! BRAVO!! ❤❤❤
Did he just skip it? ( 1:36 ). I don't like it when he just skip the huge part of the Lassan part, but I like it. I like the Horowitz's arrangement but.. I hate when he compress it to 6 minutes which isn't cool in my opinion. But I still like Lang Lang anyways, good recording!
Lang Lang is an amazing pianist, but I despise this arrangement in particular. There's nothing I dislike to much, I still enjoy it, but I'll always appreciate the original more. But it makes me angry how this was Vladimir Horowitz's arrangement, and then he condensed it down to 6 minutes. But they might've not had enough time for the whole thing, so I understand. This is a great recording though!
bro were did the other part of lassan go ????? and why is he rushing is so much. then again probably too much of a time slot for a performance so ig its fine but I do not approve
This piece was used as an encore. Anyways he's great pianist because he knew how to adjust for audiences to make them enjoy his music. He can play it full sometimes for masters and true classical music enjoyers
It’s all either Lang Lang playing cadenza or Lang Lang was taught, himself or by teacher, to play inaccurately with wrong notes and notes that aren’t even part of the music.
It would be impossible to imagine a cruder, more vulgar, more slipshod delivery than what he presents here. And what does he think he's doing, messing around with the Horowitz arrangement? He's speeding it up, faking it as he goes, and butchering it in so many ways, that it's not possible, nor is it worth it, to point out all of them. Once again, we're treated to his entire arsenal of the "cheapest tricks in the business". . . imbecilic antics, theatrical gestures, facial expressions. . . all as an exhibition of supreme arrogance that's not to be matched by any classical music performer in today's world.
Two things. First, you mention words and phrases like "cruder, vulgar, slipshod delivery" but never elaborate on what exactly is "crude" or "vulgar." Second, why are you accusing Lang Lang of being an arrogant villain or antagonist based on his dramatic gestures and hand movements? He most likely just wants to wow the audience or, if nothing else, make the performance more visually exciting (even if you personally don't find it so). These dramatic gestures don’t necessarily make him an arrogant menace; it sounds like you are just deeply exaggerating things.
@@Macintosh8 Now just how would you expect me to comment on a measure-to-measure basis? If you could be standing beside me while I'm seated at a piano, I'd be able to demonstrate in detail how his playing is slipshod and crude, but otherwise, I guess you'd have to take my word for it, as I'm very familiar with Horowitz's performance (I even have the score). May I urge you to re-read the third sentence of my original post. . . it says it all. As for "wowing" the audience, shouldn't it be earthshakingly evident by now that he LIVES to impress, whether it be with his 'dramatic' ('theatrical' is more like it) gestures, many of which are probably the most outlandish ever seen on a concert stage, or with the squirm-inducing, extensive gallery of facial expressions, the likes of which are laughable and monstrously inappropriate. Have you watched his videos (I'll cite only three) of Rhapsody in Blue, Rachmaninoff's 3rd (must be seen to be believed), or Chopin's 'Tristesse' etude (in which he reaches the absolute zenith of morbid sensuality. . . after witnessing this nauseating display, I just about made it to the smallest room in my house). All of this points to the fact (not conjecture, but fact!) that he''s a supremely arrogant, one-of-a-kind showman/actor who, in his efforts to "make his performances more visually exciting" (your words), has developed a type of stage behavior that would be more appropriately presented, not on a concert platform, but rather under a circus tent.
it’s important to consider that art is inherently subjective and what one person sees as "crude" or "vulgar," another might find refreshing or Innovative. Performance styles evolve, and many artists reinterpret classic works to bring their own voice to the music, which can lead to new and exciting interpretations. Regarding the use of the Horowitz arrangement, reinterpretation can be a valid artistic choice. Musicians often take liberties with established works to explore different emotions or to connect with contemporary audiences. While you might see this as butchering, others may appreciate the performer’s attempt to make the piece feel relevant and personal. As for the "cheap tricks" you mention, it’s worth noting that theatricality can serve a purpose. mEngaging an audience visually can enhance their emotional experience of the music. Many successful performers use a combination of technical skill and stage presence to create a memorable performance. Dismissing these elements as mere antics overlooks their potential to resonate with listeners on a deeper level. Lastly, labeling the performer’s actions as supreme arrogance might miss the point of what performance is about. Many artists strive to communicate their passion and connect with their audience, and that can sometimes come across as bold or over-the-top. Instead of viewing it as arrogance, consider that it might simply be an artist’s earnest attempt to share their interpretation of the music. Different doesn’t have to mean worse.
@@I-np7so Your four lecture-like paragraphs come off as rather luke-warm defenses of Lang's every gesture and mannerism. Not wishing to sound obstinate or combative, I'd like to re-affirm everything I said in my previous posts. It's obvious that we don't see eye-to-eye in any of these matters, and that there'd be little point to our continuing this discussion.
He can play maybe better then Liszt, however the interpretation is just so falsch. He missed it all. This is wrong. For me as Hungarian, this is just so far away. I Adore him as a player but this is not it....
Are YOU a pianist who has actually played this piece in its entirety? And if so, do you believe that you are able to play it better than Lang Lang?! I’m in my late 60’s and was trained as a classical pianist and organist since I was 5. I also played this, but will readily admit that I wasn’t as great as he is - whether it’s a piece he did many years ago, or those he plays now!
Ma perché i pianisti x dimostrare virtuosismo continuano a eseguire questa trascrizione eccessiva di Horowitz anziché l'originale che è molto più bella e anche difficile dio..
hungarian rhapsody n1.5
Music is the only idiom! He is connected to that language! We are lucky to hearit IT !!
Lang Lang was born to play Lizst ❤
Listen to other pianists.
His touch has infinite colors. And he is completely free when playing. I could only dream about how he feels the music.

Don't agree. I have the feeling that this piece corresponds to his 'show off', exaggerated, affected period, which thank God he changed later on.
Mindblowing!
Beautiful Lang Lang Thank you
The music is expressing though him! He is a instrument to express music, it is the only way away way I can understand I
t
We are so grateful to hear this divine music from one of the greatest pianist, in human history!
Liszt would’ve loved lang lang
Great
Thanks for watching, Franz Liszt!

This arrangement is used as an encore, so it’s abridged and showy..
@@DellDreamer Oh is it really? That actually makes a lot of sense. Thank you for clarifying :)

Colosal!
This was a better rendition than Bugs Bunny's 😊
I like Tom&jerry's version more. 🙄🙄🙄
😂
😂😂👍
Technically yuja should have better technique compare with him. But everytime listen LL performance I like his presentation much... Dunno why.
Ist wohl eine Lang Lang-Version😢
He played well but half the song disappeared
WhatsApp a nice happiness LL
It’s all either Lang Lang playing cadenza or Lang Lang was taught, himself or by teacher, to play inaccurately with wrong notes and notes that aren’t even part of the music.
Say all you want about him, just remember he is better than you will ever be
Also I’m pretty sure it’s the Horowitz version
@@Miguel_I_guess I don’t remember making this comment XD
@@Miguel_I_guess well yes, now that you bring it up, I remember this video. He was just remixing the song and the past me didn’t realize that

@@loganfruchtman953 Got it. Thank you for that.
No i dont like the way he plays...Horowitz is the best
