February 27-March 1, 2003

"Lang Lang took a sold-out Albert Hall by storm...This could well be history in the making."
The Times of London "He is stunning." ( New York Times "The biggest, most exciting keyboard talent encountered in many years." ( Chicago Tribune Born in Shen Yang, China, Lang Lang began piano studies at the age of three with Professor Zhu Ya-Fen at the Shen Yang Conservatory of Music. At the age of nine he entered the Central Music Conservatory in Beijing, and in 1997 was accepted at the Curtis Institute of Music where he currently studies with Gary Graffman. He won his first competition, the Shen Yang Piano Competition, at the age of five. Other awards include first prize in the Fifth Zing Hai Cup Piano Competition in Beijing, first prize and outstanding artistic performance in the Fourth International Young Pianists Competition in Germany, and first prize at the Second Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians Competition held in 1995 in Japan.
During the 2001-2002 season Lang Lang made subscription debuts with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, toured Europe with the NDR Symphony Orchestra of Hamburg with Christoph Eschenbach conducting, and toured Asia with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic under Yuri Temirkanov. He performed with Wolfgang Sawallisch and the Philadelphia Orchestra in their final subscription concerts at the Academy of Music and toured with this orchestra to Beijing, performing to an audience of 8,000 at the Great Hall of the People.

Fasten your seatbelts. Here’s what one Vancouver critic wrote when Lang Lang made his Canadian debut in our 1999/2000 recital series: “He is a phenomenon who, with his fecund gifts, will soon earn praise as one of the most important musicians of the next century.” At that time, this Chinese-born pianist was just 16. Two years later, Lang Lang has only gained in his depth of wisdom and understanding, stunning audiences everywhere. Every note is proof of a maturity way beyond his years. Technically superb, unafraid to tackle the most challenging of works, he is an innate musician who delves to the very heart of the music he plays, uncovering new depths of emotion.

E-mail to a friend Classical review, the CSO with pianist Lang Lang By John von Rhein Lang Lang, the 19-year-old Chinese pianist who was making his subscription series debut, enjoys throwing everything he has at the listener. That's one reason he scored such a sensation at his local debut in 1999 at Ravinia where he substituted at the eleventh hour for Andre Watts. Since then, he has become a festival mainstay, appearing twice more with the CSO as well as in recital. This summer he will share a residency with his chief mentor, Christoph Eschenbach. Worries that a young pianist so sure of himself, so brimming with the joy of making music, would suffer from a certain lack of interpretive discipline were not entirely allayed by his reading of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 on Thursday. Some thought he pulled the music around recklessly. Others found his emotive swooning at the keyboard distracting. Lang, it would appear, has every gift save the gift of restraint. But if you closed your eyes and listened, you heard a stunning performance. The soloist's "Rach 2" amounted to a wild musical thrill ride that challenged guest conductor Manfred Honeck and the orchestra to hold on tight. No pianist today takes such liberties in this melody-drenched showpiece, or brings them off this well. His big tone reaching deep into the keys, Lang thundered and wept. He sped up, slowed down, bent entire paragraphs with a generous rubato bordering on distortion. His Adagio was a lyrical reverie in slow-mo. All this with piston fingers that could do anything.

Lang Lang Since his dramatic and triumphant last-minute appearance at the Ravinia Festival in August 1999 when he filled in for an indisposed AndrŽ Watts, Lang Lang has burst upon the international musical scene with unparalleled excitement and acclaim. Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as the biggest, most exciting keyboard talent encountered in many years and already performing with the world's leading orchestras, this captivating 19-year-old pianist has shown himself to be an artist of significant maturity and depth. When Lang Lang made his sold-out Carnegie Hall debut in April 2001 with the Baltimore Symphony under Yuri Temirkanov, The New York Times wrote: "He is stunning." In August 2001 he made his London debut at the BBC Proms performing Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 3 with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, conducted by Temirkanov. The Times wrote: "Lang Lang took a sold-out Albert Hall by storm. This could well be history in the making." Now resident in the US, Lang Lang performed on the City Hall's new Steinway after talking to Trisha about his career to date.

Philadelphia Doylestown Atlantic City Local Events Yellow Pages Discussion Boards Back to Home ... Entertainment Wednesday, Apr 02, 2003 Music Posted on Mon, Mar. 17, 2003 Lang Lang blends humor and seriousness By Peter Dobrin Inquirer Music Critic Most of what you need to know about Lang Lang came in a single note during an encore to his recital Friday night. The piece was "Stars and Stripes Forever." And the note was the pickup to the more lyrical melodic section - you know, the quiet tune to which everyone likes to make up words. The pianist used that one note to send a message. He held it good and long, so long that it broke the momentum, like a tenor holding a high C. With it, he seemed to say, "I have just as big an influence here as the composer, and here's who I am." The audience got it. Laughter rippled across the crowd. That Lang Lang can calculate the emotional response of a couple thousand people at a time is why he might be the buzzing-est piano name in America right now. Locals have long known him, through performances as a student at the Curtis Institute of Music and soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra. The Kimmel Center presented him Friday in what it billed as his Philadelphia recital debut.

SUN MUSIC CRITIC Youth rushes in where experience fears to tread. Probably only a teenager like the 16-year-old Chinese-born pianist Lang Lang, now studying with the great pianist Gary Graffman at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, would have the confidence to take on as heavy a program as he played for the Vancouver Recital Society on Sunday. It was a program that only a Horowitz would risk: the massive Rachmaninov Second Sonata, Brahms in old age, one of the great Chopin sonatas and more. Lang Lang (he goes by this one compound name) started with an early Beethoven sonata, the Opus 2, No. 1, which is difficult enough. The cocky look on his face confirmed the evident enjoyment he was taking in the music, in its wit and the vitality of its argument. It was a joy to hear playing like this -natural, full of life and surprise, every phrasing there for a reason. Yes, but the Chopin Sonata in B minor was up next. How could he possibly be up to that? It calls for nobility and lyric heroism, and poses many problems of tempo, phrasing and pedalling. The slow movement, calling for profound feeling, is very hard to sustain, and the last movement is volcanic. He supplied it all: maturity, meditation, faultless technique and beautiful, non-percussive tone.'
