Lang Lang, do we like him or not?
I have always thought that Lang Lang was such a awesome pianist until now. I know Lang Lang is a really excellent pianist, definitely a lot better than me, and I'm not saying anything bad about his skill, but does he really need to express himself that much? Is he maybe, just maybe, I bit too theatrical? I'm not really sure. What are your opinions?

I miss your posts on here. This blog is so awesome, and you have such good questions. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteLang Lang is an excellent PIANIST, no doubt. But,I think he puts being a pianist before being a musician, and I think it should be the other way around. I don't like his virtuosic displays, and his flashy (what Schumann would consider "Philistine") repertoire. But, that's just my personal opinion. I mean, those theatrics sure do woo the general public. Liszt was pianist first, musician second as well, and I guess we can't really doubt his awesomeness and popularity!
