Lang Lang Plays Rach 3 Ossia Cadenza
HTML-код

- Lang Lang plays the infamously difficult Ossia Cadenza from Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto 3 (Op. 30) quite flawlessly and manages to troll around a bit while doing so (0:30)!

Not always a fan of his interpretations, but his passion is undeniable. And goddamn he’s got some crazy technique.
너무 해괴한 퍼포먼스..
Yuja"s is better, plus she doesn't drool all over the piano
You know he has technique to spare when he can stare at the camera lens for effect!
He is the world's most overrated pianist... a cruise ship act, at best.
He is a showman after all sort of like how Liberace was.
@@fareshajjar1208 bullshit. If you litem you the performance you can clearly hear he knows what he’s doing. If you don’t like his facial expressions then go audio only.
@@meiguofeng He is horrible; one of the worst classical pianists in the world. The first time I heard him was on the radio and I was thinking, "Well, this must be a local college student." He plays like a cheesy Vegas performer, ignoring many aspects of the original score.
@@fareshajjar1208 🤣
Like him or loath him, you have to admit a) the facial expressions are hilarious b) you' ve got to be a phenomenal pianist to pull them AND to be able to pull off this cadenza as well at the same time.
Totally, it’s almost like playing the music is so easy for him, that he doesn’t get the otherwise natural intensity from the concentration required by mere mortals.. so then has to kind of egg himself on with a deliberate act of shock or wonder.
i don't get why people loathe him
@@thekensilva there’s a nasty vein of snobbery in classical music culture, an expectation of decorum and restraint that he simply does not engage with. It’s a holdover from upper class culture where outward displays of emotion are frowned upon. He’s a little goofy for sure, but I think it’s authentic. That is, I don’t believe he’s making those faces to impress the audience, I think he’s just having the time of his life doing what he loves at a level most of us can’t even imagine. But that’s not going to sit well with a stuffy elitist who believes all classical music needs to put on airs of serious profundity.
@@thekensilva because it's musicaly bad
It's not about the faces and keeping it "classical". Turn the video off and keep the sound, it's still bad.
@@LAK_770 Yeah you can really tell he's feeling it, he moves a lot, in contrast to older performers like vladimir horowitz
Listening to Lang Lang play is simply breathtaking. I cannot say the same about watching him play.
@Katarina Hernandez -- So....What do YOU prefer?
Katarina Hernandez no u
I tried. Still doesn’t help for me at least.
He behaves how he wants to and it doesn't affect the performance. He obviously doesn't behave how you would, but you somehow seem to expect him to. Bizarre.
When you have his ability you can behave your way as you play. Good luck with your bitter life. LOL.
Total agree
The misconception is that classical music is for the melancholic, so people find it difficult to accept a happy, vibrant and energetic young man displaying absolute mastery on the piano. Piano is his life. Allow him to eat it, drink it, kiss it, dance with it, practise kunfu with it, etc. We love all that. God bless Lang Lang, and may I meet him some day.
Henry Arko It’s one thing to say all music is open to interpretation and anyone should be free to play this cadenza as they feel - but this specific cadenza is the absolute antithesis of the adjectives you used to describe Lang Lang here . This cadenza evokes to anyone with any feel for music equal parts furious rage and crushing misery. I for one think that the ethereal quality of music is that it conveys emotion on it’s own. The people in the audience are not there to see him pull grotesque faces as they are no substitute for expressive playing. If he were not using his face as a rather confusing guideline as to what he is trying to convey , his playing alone offers no such indication . Incredibly loud and while obviously technically astounding , performed at a pace which practically drowns the notes . You are correct in saying that everyone should acknowledge one’s right to a subjective opinion , but you must understand that this includes critical opinions as much as it does supportive ones. The music of Rachmaninoff in particular is not music which should be played with constant drama nor is it music which is technically demanding for the sake of it and void of emotion . Call me a purist but I feel that despite his whirlwind virtuosity, Lang Lang and similar pianists *do* disrespect some of the music they perform through ignorance of the music itself.
@Donkey Punch Knock-Out well, obviously Lang Lang hears and feels things through music that you can't understand, hence the idiotic comments. But hey, thats free speech and freedom, trolls keep trolling, Lang lang keeps writing history.
henry Arko, great comment. You spotted lang lang unique behavior and its causes.
_absolute mastery_
@@TomCL-vb6xc Вы не знакомы с историей жизни самого автора, Вы не можете его понять, а Лан Лан очень тонко чувствует именно историю жизни композитора, которого исполняет, он передает дух эпохи, весь трагизм жизни Рахманинова, который был вынужден бежать из революционной России и всю оставшуюся жизнь провести на чужбине, тоскуя по родине. Не судите о том, о чем не знаете.
@@TomCL-vb6xc They are there to see him act like that lol. Everyone knows who Lang is and what he's going to do at a live performance.

why?
I think he was slightly embarrassed when he met eyes with the camera
he's pretending it's not him playing and pretends to be caught lol
Lang Lang's piano teacher:
When there's a key change you have to lift your eyebrows.
For low tremolos you have to do an angry face.
For dramatic, romantic cadenzas you should act like a soap opera actor reacting to the news that his wife is actually his sister.
He's an extremely successful classical pianist. Who are you? Exactly.
WolfPsx Well, the dude got it right 😂 there's nothing wrong in appreciating Lang Lang for his interpretations, but some of his faces are just too much to be honest
No they're not. You're totally allowed to not watch him.
WolfPsx Well, I guess it's just a matter of personal opinions when it comes to behaviour on stage, better focusing on the music :)
When your face reacts to the music nuances, modulations and colors, it means you focus on music too. There is no manual of the polite pianist, some just involve themselves arms, faces, legs, all they have.
As someone who loves metal guitarists... I love the facial expressions. My man is FEELING it. Is this still called "shredding" on the piano? Because that's what this dude does 🤘🏻 Wish I could play.
Its like shredding with the accuracy of a sniper.
1:36 The subtlety and dynamic control of a true master. fffffffffff mp ffffffffffffffFFFFFFFFFFFF
Four quarks for muster mark.ph! Ph.!
There are two dynamics: Loud, and Congrats You're As Deaf As Beethoven Now.
That part sounds quite exaggerated to me. It disrupts the climax in my opinion. But other than that, a great performance indeed
To LisztyLiszt: Did you actually say [choke] SUBTLETY? Dynamic control? (Whatever you mean by that). This "delivery" of the cadenza carries with it the visual subtlety of a locomotive careening across one's living room.
Still listening to this cadenza and it’s just amazing
one of the most passionate pianists ever. this actually made me get up and go practice
such a genius im in AWE each and everytime i listen to this
Stop playing now... If this shit inspires you, you've got big problems.
Jjmcoupe bmw ive got problems but if this doesnt inspire you just go clean toilets as a job, you will do better there than being a "musician"
Heh I know that feeling
If phrasing and subtle dynamic control are what you practised, there's two things that would make your playing more enjoyable to listen to than this.
I love how his whole self express ans connect with the piece. It somehow connected to the audience, at least to me.
0:26 yes yes but do you see how emotional the man behind him is as well?
I died laughing at this
Despite he's emoting facial expressions his playing is titanic as is his technique. He's a very special individual indeed.
0:44, 0:56 what a titanic force the hitting shock me
0:28 you realize you left your stove on
No matter what some complain concerning his mannerisms he is an amazing performer who transfers his body and soul to making music live larger than life on the concert stage. So did Franz Listz.
Franz Liszt was known to not move or sweat much during performances. He managed to play louder fortissimos than every other pianist without a change in facial expression at all. So, not a great comparison. That being said, you’re right about both bringing music to life, though in very different ways of course. Lang Lang is no Liszt, but most of us aren’t even Lang Lang, so there’s that
@@user-fu7zf4ck9z Pleasr explain the surviving caricatures. For instance, Listz playing Grand Galop Chromatique. Women did not bestow intimate garments at a statue.
@@user-fu7zf4ck9z Were you there? You're observing with certainty of fact that, admittedly one of the all time top echelon of legendary musician and pianists, who died 136 years ago, was able to play 'louder fortissimos than every other pianist without a change in facial expression at all'. Who were these other pianists? What was their level? Where did these pianists play together? Who are your references, other than the 19th century grapevine? Your declaration is saturated in the anecdotal.
@@stevehinnenkamp5625 Liszt in his 20s =/= Liszt in his 40s,50s,60s etc.
@@user-nv2wt4hi8t It’s literally documented. Are you some sort of evolution denier because you weren‘t there to see it as well?
Absolutely brilliant!
Musically this is the best Rach 3 cadenza.
People that criticise his clown faces are right but he gets the job done...elthe rubato are perfect, the melodies, phrasing, everything just falls in the right place. Of course, music is subjective, but for me this is the ultimate interpretation, and I've listened to them all
true
Just need to watch with the screen turned off lol
@@alis1637 he's just playing passionately. People don't have to play while looking dead-serious all the time.
Very much true
To me Simon Trpceski and Yefim Bronfman are also up there
1:36 gives me goosebumps every time I listen to this. This section sounds like heaven.
1:12 gives me goosebumps
Not simply expressing MADNESS, he's almost there..
I was watching 0:27 through 0:34 whilst sipping on coffee, and I laughed so hard I chortled coffee out my nose and onto my couch. My nose is burning and my couch looks like someone peed on it.
So THIS is where all pianists get their self-esteem
He is so passionate!!! He clearly love his craft!!!
0:30 The greatest moment in Classical music history.
🤣 (I find him SO annoying.) Actually, it was Tchaikovsky Hall, Moscow, February 1958 when 23 year old Van Cliburn won the Tchaikovsky Gold. That was, and still is, considered the greatest moment in modern musical history.
0:27
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
How about the premiere of the Eroica Symphony?
That thumbnail pic lol y im here!! insane accuracy, respect to anyone who tackled Rach 3!!!
Say what you want about his facial expressions but if you close your eyes you can feel what he was trying to share with the audience. The man pours his heart out every time. This Ossia Cadenza is masterful played
too much pedal
But if I close my eyes, I'll miss out on the thrill of observing the freakiest exhibition ever to take place on a formal stage. If this is supposed to be an example of "pouring one's heart out", I'll pass, thank you.
This is the best...so simple and easy to interpret...
Rachmaninov is a very mature & honest music that mustn't be faced only with virtuosity...The rich panoply of sounds in it requests high levels of rigor and understanding!
If you ask 100 classical aficionados "who played it the best" for any piece, you will get at least 25 different responses. Does that mean 24 of these people are wrong? Absolutely not. It just means a lot of it is subjective. And there is nothing wrong with that. We all have different tastes.
Electric. I love it!
Wow.... i am shook. Nobody. NOBODY plays this part 1:00 as perfectly as Lang Lang. I wasn't his fan or anything but after hearing this I have to admit he is one of the greatest pianists
Edit: I've heard Trifonov playing this and it's pretty fkin amazing too.
youre easy to persuade
@@phillach5181 if playing 1:00 like that is "easy", then I guess you're right
@@h.p.734 youre still talking about "greatest pianist"
@@phillach5181 *One of the* greatest pianists. And obviously 1:00 was not the only thing I've heard. If so, that indeed would have been a shallow judgement.
Arcadi Volodos, Martha Argerich, Vladimir Ashkenazy, ... Want more?
Bronfman has an excellent DVD with Simon Rattle conducting, excellent sound and picture quality too.
Rachmaninoff wrote many letters to musicologist Josef Yasser explaining how his music should be played.(they can be found in the book Rachmaninoffs Recollections by Oskar von Riesemann).Bronfman lets the music speak for itself rather than search for some hidden meaning in every note as most of todays pianists do.
Yes, bronfman is the best
spotted
Yunchan’s entire person is involved in his expression on the piano. Say 2:00 Magnificent!. Amazing power and passion. Others can not match it!
Something about that butchered chord at 1:59… at first I laughed when I heard it but now I love it so much. Shows that Lang Lang transferred so much energy and love into the keys that it couldn’t help but spread over to neighboring notes :)
I think his facial expression is NOT an acting which is to be SHOWN.
He is feeling music and enjoying it.
His expression makes me to be absorbed in to his performance.
No. You can't smile playng "dramatic" music!
This happens to be quite amazing playing, but the facial stuff - it's a complete act. He doesn't do it nearly as much any more.
@@DoppioDiesisProduction it's a cadenza, supposed to be a demonstration of virtuosity. His facial expression is part of what virtuosity and flashy music is all about.
@@DoppioDiesisProduction You can, I have. Sometimes its so awesome you are overcome with joy.
You do realize he's doing this on purpose...
The way he looks at the camera and then goes 'OH SHIT IM BEING FILMED'
Amazing cadenza to be honest!
The sound and fullness coming out.. amazing!!
Anyone knows if there is a place where I can buy this at the original quality? I've looked for it all over the Internet, just can't find it for sale :(:(
0:29 when you realize you forgot to turn off the stove
Technical challenges are nothing to him, his skills are superhuman, thus he has the time and energy to not only play the Rach 3 cadenza, but to also act it.
We don't need acting on music,for acting we have theatre and moovies
@@LAG806there is actually nothing wrong in acting as long as you can play decently
@@dwacheopus yes,may be he is Lawrence Olivier,I don't know,but for musician it's too much and hilarious 😂😂
@@LAG806 yup. At least we have someone to laugh at while listening to music
@@dwacheopus you are free for decision,even you can to cry
That thumbnail is legendary
When his playing is so good that you have to roast his facial expressions
He becomes the music and the instrument! Extraordinary TALENT!
Those facial expressions are his passion and how he feels when playing the piano. He’s enjoying it. He’s found his joy in life thus, it is not work for him. Finding ur passion makes u happy (:
0:27 The face you make when the teacher cought you fooling insted of practising!
Cameraman had to zoom in to his hands to restraint himself from laughing and shaking
He is like a cartoon. I feel an emotion type like this when I listen Tom of Tom and Jerry when he plays the piano.
Monstrueux !!! Quantité quand tu nous tiens...
Where can I buy the dvd
Extremely great genial virtuoso
*BANG BANG!!!*
Bang bang is back
It's funny, cause how his name is actually pronounced, this just looks like "scared scared" in afrikaans
Probably put the piano outta tune for the rest of the concert, still liked it a lot though lots of power for the part is needed, as I feel it’s like a fight between two giants
Bang Bang? Lang is suble next to Horowitz. And Lang is a far more accurate and brilliant pianist. Jealous ppl will always hate.
@@tonytony8747 I am jealous of so many brilliant pianists, not of Bang Bang
@@bigcalamaro
Sounds like you're jealous of Lang Lang. He is already the richest and most famous classical pianist in history. He has more fans than Horowitz, Zimerman and Brendel combined. Go to DG.
As for Lang Lang's talent. I thinks he's my 2nd favorite pianist. The best is forever Evgeny kissin.

The best ossia cadenza
langlang the greatest!
Great performance. Is that Charles Du Toit at the podium?
Love watching the change from his Extreme Claw Kung Fu to the Flat Finger.
I know it's all show business but imagine how much more impressive he would be if he was stoic like Horowitz and Rubinstein.
Interesting point, but I'm glad we have different personalities in classical music. Also this level of technique is quite impossible to attain if you sit still. But I understand where you're coming from, the stoic style of playing is very impressive, and I love the old masters too.
Пусть Рубинштейн и Горовиц останутся Рубинштейном и Горовицем, а Лан Лан будет самим собой, ни на кого не похожим, в этом и есть его совершенство. Виртуозов ныне много, а тех, кто проникает в душу можно пересчитать по пальцам одной руки из действующих пианистов.
We don't want him to be stoic. He is impressive regardless.
@@user-yb7ie9nv6l Google Translation: "Let Rubinstein and Horowitz remain Rubinstein and Horowitz, and Lang Lang be himself, unlike anyone else, this is his perfection. There are many virtuosos today, and those who penetrate the soul can be counted on the fingers of one hand from active pianists."

0:32 jump scare
When you're that deep emotionally whenever you make music, bodily reactions are inevitable, really. Although the degree of it might also depends on your own personality.
Really when it comes down to it, his playing resonates with more people than almost any classical player before him. That's saying something.
how would you gauge how much his playing resonates with the audience and compare it to others lmfao
This is a custom oasis, with his own additions
I don't know what I hoped coming here.
Monster !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
진짜 광기다...미친 표현력 ㄷㄷ
where can i find the full version?
Here is a fragmented version on youtube: watch?v=L4LiUOYwpSk
He scared the sh!t out of me
As it should be... This is freaking War!!!!!
Do u need diaper?
He’s so good technically. And he’s such a dwebe! This is the prognosis!
Why does this make me think of Trifonov? And credit to Lang Lang, he is basically unstoppable, can play anything however he wants
Lang Lang is better than Trifonov
Lang lang is an interesting pianist, however here, he is more into effects than into music and flow (which does not need to be constant or soft). I like the 1953 Horowitz's version, with Fritz Reiner a lot more. There, what matters is music, and talking to the soul or with the soul, rather than giving impression to a public or ourself (as pianist).
Horowitz Rocks!!
Horowitz is also my favorite though Horowitz never publically played this cadenza as far as I know. What I feel from Lang Lang's version is tremendous enjoyment and excitement with a bit of show-off. well... he deserves to show off a bit. I don't think he's doing that face for the audience. I wouldn't purposely make that face to make fool of myself. that facial expression has to be the same expression he makes when he's practicing alone.
I don't know if there is 1) too much pedal and 2) too much of "I'm going to add beats in the measure because it is too difficult to play; but for me, this is not a 100% performance. Thumb up.
Hmm... I think this is one of the most faithful ossia cadenza interpretations out there (I think only Volodos can stand up to it). Most pianists seem to struggle hard with this part of the concerto and they can't play it the way they want to, but I think Lang Lang is one of the few pianists that can milk it for all its worth (especially with those fast runs for extra intensity) and doesn't seem to have any technical difficulties whatsoever. Are you sure that you aren't mixing it up with the regular cadenza (Horowitz or Argerich recordings)? This one has a lot more breathing room.
Woah his hands look pretty freaky at the beginning! :O Scarry, but excellent performance!
Rachmaninoff, Horowitz, Martha Argerich, never recorded this cadenza. Lang Lang did it. Rachmaninoff himself told that that Cadence requires more than a good interpreter. Lang played it with an excellent interpretation, very clean, very potent and very fast. Most of the comments are pitiful paying attention to just his facial expressions in place of the music. Who can play that in the whole concerto? Is there jealousy?
世界的ロックスターを彷彿とさせるほどのとてつもない気迫を感じる。まさにピアノ界のエアロスミスって感じ。当時のフランツ・リストもこんな感じだったろうなぁ。
