I feel the same way when I listen to the classics. It was nice hearing him play together with Mike Oldfield on the latter's album "Music of the Spheres" - brilliant piece of music. It became a number one album on the classical chart. Deservedly so. 🙂
I used to make fun of Lang Lang quite a bit but he’s so much more of a person (and pianist) that I gave him credit for. A truly great individual, hope to see him live one time.
For just about anything anyone wishes to accomplish, it’s practice, practice, practice, and probably the most difficult part of it is knowing what to practice in order to reach the desired goal. For the Piano, seems it’s got to be scales and Hanon at bare minimum. But, you must have the passion, and he certainly has it, and is very inspirational! Great interview by the ballerina!
Dr. Siracha uhm, no thanks. I'll have people being critical any day, if people want to judge him they shouldn't be afraid to contradict someone else's taste
@@GothicKin hey I think you might not have seen our comments clearly. He isnt saying to not be critical or judgemental or to disagree with someone else's taste. I agree with you people should be free to share their opinions right, no need to be afraid He just made a statement about the haters, the people that say things like "he butchers everything he plays or "he moves too much he's just showing off" or "If you like his interpretation then you just have no respect for the composer and you don't have good taste" Yep lol
he is such an engaging conversationalist...besides being a lovely pianist. So he is a bit of a showman...he deserves that bit of freedom because he is very very talented...
His interpretation of Scherzo No.2 is so unique... How he varied the pace according to his emotion and avoided the pedal to create very jumpy and energetic melodies were uncommon among any interpretations I had listened to. Lovely.
It’s a level that Lang Lang understands. Erudite he isn’t. A technician he is. BTW. Viennese also applaud inappropriately. Heard such also during the 4th Ballade of Chopin in Middle-East!!! Wish Lang had something of substance to say, verbally and musically. Swooning doesn’t cut it.
For sure he is talented and play classical music beautifully... I see many wrote comments negatively this is amazed me... and feel sorry at the same time... everyone come to this earth to do our homework... just do your homework..

@@BingDwenDwen I don't see how looking at Lang Lang's expression purposely out of context for humor is on the dark side of life. You clearly don't even understand what you're talking about...
There’s a feeling that he has no sadness - I think this is the issue most people have with his playing. Everything is “beautiful” instead of tragic - “a beautiful summer night on the water” for instance. This is missing the heart and horribly sad soul of what most of these composers put into these pieces.
I normally find Lang's gestures annoying but I have to admit that: 1)the scherzo was beautifully played, 2) the reporter was so damn fake and irritating that I could not find any space to be annoyed by Lang. Do you really need to show a fake grin for like 4 minutes at a time while interviewing someone?
I don't like everything he did, but I don't get why people diss this guy so much. He not only played the best Don Juan Fantasy ever, but he sometimes does Horowitz-style nuances that do stuff to my head. Imagine what he would be like if he practised as much as most other professionals do.
It is unfortunate to see some people make immature sexual comments, if you can't handle it, why not close your eyes and listen instead? I know we are all entitled to our opinions eh? Nonetheless coming across obnoxious close-minded comments rather strengthen my mind to do what is right and I'm sure the same for Lang Lang.
“What is it about these composers that interests you as a musician?” “Both are extremely romantic... ;)” Good play on words, they’re from the romantic period!
Seriously, you guys learn how to pronounce Chopin as Schzopan, but why can't you guys learn Lang Lang is pronounced closer as Lung Lung (as in the human Lung).... =_=

Interviewer was excellent, this flowed so well and both seemed very comfortable!
The control of dynamics he has with his instrument is outstanding.
if you know what I mean :D
Especially when the piano is relatively more difficult to control!

i was choping youd say that haha you should "try scotch cheese" haha

Djuman That was a horrible pun
Say what you want about Lang Lang, with his antics and swaying, his tone is incredible. He has a passion for the music that you can hear
He is flamboyant. I love that.
✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Music is a mind- body-mind thing. Deal with it.

having that passion for playing and love of the instrument is something youre born with, not learned.
Lang Lang is an incomparable genius.
Beautiful June, so beautiful. Langlang's interpretation is genius
Speechless ,extremely gifted ,sensible ,amazing technique ,! Sublime !! Love,love your playing Lang !!
Once a concert pianist can afford to practice just 2 hours, he's on top of the game.
Lang Lang in the end played the Chopin Scherzo No.2 so beautifully but it was too short. I really would like to hear more.
homeboy took me on a friggin boat ride with that 1st piece.

what a charming interview, i would certainly enjoy more of these.
It's amazing when the interviewer actually knows stuff about classical music.

Scales, Hanon? Nah, not really, Is practice, honesty and ambition all at the same time for years 😊😅
Never met a Lang Lang hater who could outplay him. Personally I throughly enjoy his animated composure. Cheers
Chad Harris I love most Lang Lang renditions but what exactly bothers you about someone not liking Lang?
Jacopo Barberis I did not say anything bothered me, I made a statement.

That is passion right there coming from the heart. His hands are playing the piano, but his body is in another world. Amazing to see!
Lang Lang is really divine!! an enormous feeling in performing the pieces. No one can be compared to him!! The Best!!
Check out Yuja Wang :)
Edna Ferreir
Edna No, he's very, very good, but he's not the best by a long shot.

Thank you Wall Street Journal for the exclusiv intervieuw with one of the greatest pianis, Lang Lang. Greeting from Toraja, Indonesia
He’s living it, how beautiful!! ☀️
Great information. Awesome to here from one of the best in his field
When he is 40, he will practice 40 hours a day. LANG LANG IS LING LING CONFIRMED!

I think it’s ok if people applaud inappropriately in countries where classical music is not a culture. It will take time for people to get used it :)
The beauty of each note.
It is so nice.
It is a dream
I definitely look forward to that Stirling collab!
Memories of my beloved father favorite piano music. Emotional thanks.
The control and touch at 2:00 is sublime!
what problem if Lang Lang feels music? He is music; He is not a robot.
the problem is: he feels music in a wrong way.
Ok ( 0 killings); It´s possible. jajajajaja.
wrong way?? OMG... then i wanna ask you something, how would you define the 'right way' to feel music?
Compared to other pianists, Lang Lang is actually appreciating the music and giving it his soul. I respect that and don't see how that's wrong
OK.
this guy is just so cool i love it
Tanya Rivero is lovely! She is a very good interviewer.
This was brilliant to watch - so much life in this man, such a romantic too!! Haha
For sure he is talented and play classical music beautifully... I see many wrote comments negatively this is amazed me... and feel sorry at the same time... everyone come to this earth to do our homework... just do your homework..
You're so good. So immersed in playing the 🎹
He smelled water while he was playing the Barcarolle by Maestro Tchaikovsky? That is interesting and I believe him.
surely it was urine
郎朗演奏曲目不是用双手的手指弹，而是对作品的感悟，用心灵，用情感在演奏。
由此能演奏的如此优美动听赋予作品的生命力，感染力，优美之力！！！👍👍👍
Four hours at 4 years old! Amazing.
Lang Lang is a great musician and a very nice man either.
Such a treat to hear this. Thx for posting

Cause the haters need to learn their place

Langlang wonderful playing
Lang Lang Me eleva cuando lo escucho y más cuando lo veo !!!!
Finally someone who appreciates chopin
finally?
Flynn Rawlings I’ve read this comment six times now and I still have no idea which planet you’re on
Most pianists love Chopin.
Wow he took us in his bubble so fast !
I hope I can find something i could be this passionate about and also great at it
He is beautiful and talented, and very nice personality
travelling every two days thats tough
Lang lang can make you weep while performing
it's like he is at ultimate peace while playing and i think that's the point.
As much as I get annoyed by his ridiculous expressions and overindulgence in the music, he actually seems like a good guy
If you dont like that then just listen dont watch. Allthough i do agree some pianists go to far with it but only to an extent.
yews mell I believe that his expressions and gestures are genuine as well as being for show.
Lang Lang you are my hero
One in a billion, outstanding!
How beautiful🎉How living🎉Blessing 🙏🙌
Love you Lang time hahaha. I would love to fly all the time like that, but maybe not every second day.
So beautiful !

“What is it about these composers that interests you as a musician?” “Both are extremely romantic... ;)”
Good play on words, they’re from the romantic period!
Come on Lang...you are a great virtuoso, but don’t make us cry...
He is so talented as well as adorable!
It's not lan lan, it's pronounced "Lung, lung" first lung is 2nd tone, second is 3rd tone.
we (I) need him to give a course on masterclass
I’m so uncultured, but what was the first piece in the intro? That was gnarly!
He played really well with 2 Cellos! What was it called... Live And Let Die?
The anchor should have danced along.... She's a ballerina though.
Seriously, you guys learn how to pronounce Chopin as Schzopan, but why can't you guys learn Lang Lang is pronounced closer as Lung Lung (as in the human Lung).... =_=
so true!
Well it's not chop-en
Lang Lang is actually two different characters in chinese, it should sound like long lung.
Schzopan....that's not how you pronounce chopin
Wilson Kwan actually it’s more like long long because the a sound makes an “ah” in of an “ae”
Please tell me whats the piece he plays on 1:12, its so beautiful.
Tchaikovsky, the Seasons (June, Barcarolle) :)
he explained it before. one of the seasons by tchaikovsky. june.
Samir Afshin Rad a season in June
Tachiocksy June: Barcarolle

Wow he's good at English that's a real treat when you want to get a look into his mind
OMAGAWD THAT CHANDELIER IS HEAVENLY I WANT TO SWING FROM IT
pause 4:56. My dad told me there was no money in piano playing, competitive wise in comparison.
