Technology LINKS Goucher College Home Features Pianist Lang Lang Rachs at the NSO By Eliot Grasso Published: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 This evening's concert began with several uninspired selections: Three Slavonic Dances by Dvorák from Book I, Op. 46. It's difficult to imagine a more overly used set of opening pieces, except for maybe a few of the Hungarian Dances by Brahms. Yes, they're lively and employ the full resources of the orchestra, and yes, they're brilliant orchestral works, but it would be nice for once in the beginning minutes of a concert not to feel like the orchestra is trying their hardest to get the audience stimulated. The performance of the Slavonic Dances was fairly precise despite the flatulent contribution made by the brass section to the C minor Allegro assai Following the sprightly Dvorák was the Concerto for Orchestra in five movements by Jennifer Higdon. The entire piece was rhythmically vivacious with short, catchy, minimalistic, tonal melodies; the form of the opus arch-like shape.

Concert Review Pianist blends joy of music with elegant, refined artistry By Melinda Bargreen Seattle Times music critic ANDREW ECCLES Guest pianist Lang Lang played a favorite Chopin concerto with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. E-mail this article Print this article Search archive Keyboard fans are thoroughly spoiled this week: first Murray Perahia and now Lang Lang. The former's Tuesday recital at Meany Theater enraptured a near-capacity audience, and even larger audiences are assembling in Benaroya Hall to hear the young Chinese virtuoso Lang Lang playing Chopin with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. Thursday night found Lang Lang in fine form, offering an intensely musical account of the Chopin E Minor Piano Concerto, a work he has loved since he first learned it at age 11. For this 21-year-old, it was an almost reticent performance: elegant, refined playing of great lyrical delicacy. Nothing was exaggerated; nothing distorted. The second movement took on an almost mesmerizing, dreamy quality that was expansive and unhurried. The finale was all exuberant effervescence, with dazzling fingerwork that rendered all the runs and arpeggios with crystalline clarity. www.seattlesymphony.org

Jazzcorner's Speakeasy SPEAK OUT View Full Version : Lang Lang Outside of the hype-factor by the journalist, the artist himself seems to have some interesting ideas about music, especially music and literature, sort of similar to what some of you say about playing jazz with feeling. I don't know much about him, though. classical crowd-pleaser http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/entertainment/8419434.htm?1c Lang Lang is just about the hottest classical musician in the world right now, recently performing on Jay Leno's `Tonight Show'' and selling out Carnegie Hall in a flash. The 21-year-old pianist, a superstar from Shenyang, China, is also about the most controversial, held up as the savior of classical music by his fans and record company, Deutsche Grammophon, and blasted by some critics as a showboat, the Liberace of the smart set. Why such praise and damnation? His gee-whiz enthusiasm, theatrical gesturing and go-for-broke performances add up to ego-laden flamboyance or emotional profundity, depending on where you sit. More like him than don't: Lang Lang's two CDs released in the past year have sold more than 80,000 copies. The next bestselling classical pianist is Glenn Gould, dead for more than 20 years. On Saturday, Lang Lang performs at San Francisco's Herbst Theatre and, on Sunday, at Villa Montalvo's intimate Carriage House Theater in Saratoga. (Both shows are sold out). I spoke by phone with the pianist, who lives in Philadelphia, where he attended the prestigious Curtis Institute. His mentors are famous ones: pianist Gary Graffman, Curtis's president, and conductors Daniel Barenboim and Christoph Eschenbach. But Lang Lang also cites the influence of two others: his mother, Xiulan Zhou, who exposed him to classical music in utero; and father, Guo-ren Lang, a virtuoso on the erhu, the Chinese two-string fiddle, who still performs traditional Chinese music with his son.

Charles St. in Baltimore. Lang Lang's big break came in 1999 at the age of 17 when he filled in at the last minute for Andr‚ Watts at the Ravinia Festival's "Gala of the Century," playing the Tchaikovsky piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony. The fateful substitution precipitated some landmark performances for Lang Lang, including his sold-out Carnegie Hall debut, a performance in Bejing's Great Hall of the People with the Philadelphia Orchestra on its 100th anniversary tour, and a popular BBC "Proms" debut, prompting The Times of London's critic to write: "Lang Lang took a sold-out Albert Hall by storm. .This could well be history in the making."

Home Letters to Editor Domestic World ... Chinese Talented Young Pianist Comes Home Lang Lang, a young Chinese pianist, is the new darling of music lovers in the United States. The Chicago Tribune hailed him as "a phenomenal talent;" the New York Times considers him "stunning;" the San Francisco Chronicle described his playing as being "nothing short of breathtaking." Though Lang Lang has gained a fast-growing reputation in the United States, his name is still unfamiliar to music fans at home. Fortunately, they will soon be able to enjoy his performance with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of renowned conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch at the Great Hall of the People on June 1. Born in Shenyang in Northeast China's Liaoning Province in 1982, Lang Lang started to learn piano when he was only 3. In October 1998, he made his US debut performing Beethoven's "Choral Fantasy," with Alan Gilbert conducting the Baltimore Symphony. The following August, what happened was more like a scene from a film or a novel. At the Ravinia Festival, pianist Andre Watts fell ill shortly before his scheduled performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No 1. Grasping this dramatic opportunity, Lang Lang stepped in to take a major leap forward in his career, under the baton of Christoph Eschenbach.

"We hope Mr. Lang would do his best helping recovery of lost Chinese cultural relics, and he's already done something to that end," said Wang Weiming, general director of the China's Lost Cultural Relics Recovery Program. "I will do all that I can to help my motherland restore all the good things she had lost in the past," said Lang Lang, a classic music superstar viewed as "[Among] the top twenty teens who will change the world" by the Wall Street Journal. Together with Yao Ming, a Chinese-born basketball player for the US National Basketball Association, Lang has become one of theidols from China among American teenagers. "We hope to borrow power from Lang to promote Chinese culture worldwide and tell the world about Chinese people's good wish forrestoring relics and preserve human heritages," said Wang.

Glenn Gould, Lang Lang, and les barricades mystèrieuses by Angus Verspeeten The Canadian pianist Glenn Gould burst onto the aural scene in 1955 with his ear-opening recording of the Bach Goldberg Variations. Now jocular, now limpid, by turns pensive and danceable , Gould's performance was a young man's discovery and celebration of life in one of the monuments of human art. As often happens with such monuments, so much serious scholarship and reverential playing had accreted to the Goldberg Variations that, until Gould, people had forgotten that it was a work of profound, though not unalloyed, joy. Thirty years later, shortly before his death, Gould recorded the variations again. If the 1955 version was a spring day in the Bavarian Alps, the 1985 version was a winter night beside the frozen Baltic Sea. Same music, same pianist, same world. But. But. In that "but" lies mystery, much the same mystery that we encounter in quantum physics, observing the electron just before and just after a quantum leap. What happens in that interim? Where does it happen? How? Why? Since Gould showed the listening world that there was a great deal more to Bach than stereotypical teutonic stoicism, other pianists, generally possessed of more bravado and a lot less talent, have had a go at the piece with decidedly mixed results.

Home News Sports Business ... Zwecker Lang Lang grows into stardom, as recital shows April 6, 2004 BY WYNNE DELACOMA Classical Music Critic There was something reassuring about Lang Lang's solo piano recital Sunday afternoon in Symphony Center. The young Chinese-born pianist does not seem to be allowing his massive, wide-ranging popularity adulation that has prompted attention from "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno'' and Teen People in the past few years as well as a multiple-CD contract with the venerable Deutsche Grammophon label to go to his head. Now 21, he is still the awesomely gifted, ebullient young man he was when he first caused classical music connoisseurs's jaws to drop in 1999. Best of all, he still seems to be in love with classical music and passionately curious about its myriad facets. No doubt he was looking forward to signing CDs after his Sunday afternoon recital for fans who formed a long line outside the Symphony Store in Symphony Center. (CSO staffers reported that more than 272 Lang Lang CDs were sold during the post-concert signing. On Monday, he gave a short noontime concert and signed more CDs at Borders Books and Music on Michigan Avenue.) He is an outgoing personality, easygoing and relaxed around fans. But the boyish enthusiasm that often sent him into distracting physical transports at the keyboard seems to be abating. He may now realize that the audience doesn't need such signals as his rapt, heavenward glances or excessive swaying to understand what he is trying to express during a performance. Everything he wanted to say was always present in the music he made. His playing, so full of personality and commanding virtuosity, doesn't need to be hyped with flamboyant body language.
