DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON ANNOUNCED TODAY THE SIGNING OF AN EXCLUSIVE FIVE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH LANG LANG!
February 12, 2003
Deutsche Grammophon
proudly announces the signing of an exclusive five-year contract with the 20-year old, Chinese-born pianist Lang Lang, whose superb artistry, personal charisma and unabashed joy in music-making are winning over audiences, critics – and his fellow musicians – worldwide. Lang Lang’s first worldwide recording for Deutsche Grammophon is scheduled for release in July 2003, and will feature the Tchaikovsky B flat minor and Mendelssohn G minor piano concertos, with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Daniel Barenboim. Proudly the first Chinese pianist to record with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Lang Lang is also scheduled to perform the Mendelssohn Concerto in the opening concert of New York’s Mostly Mozart Festival, to be broadcast live by PBS, coinciding with his CD release. Lang Lang, in turn, issued the following statement: "Ever since I was two years old, I grew up listening to Deutsche Grammophon's great artists and their top-line recordings and have always felt a close emotional connection to this superb label. My lifetime dream has always been to record with the top orchestras and conductors of the world. Today I have the honor of becoming a Deutsche Grammophon artist. I am thrilled to see this dream become a reality and eagerly look forward to working with everyone on these projects. My hope is to share my passion for music with more people, especially of the younger generation, and bring peace and joy to all!"

TELARC SACD 60582 (F) (DDD) TT: 71:48 Dumka , another favorite of Horowitz, is given a subdued reading - Lang's performance doesn't approach excitement found in the work by Horowitz. The finger-busting Islamey is played precisely but without much fire. Caution is hardly thrown to the winds. Rachmaninoff's Third was recorded live in Royal Albert Hall Aug. 22, 2001. It's a puzzling performance. The notes are there in a reticent way; almost as if the concerto had been composed by Mozart. The coruscating brilliance found in this music by others (Horowitz, Van Cliburn, Volodos and the composer himself) simply isn't there. Obviously the British audience found no fault with the performance; their enthusiastic response resulted in an enchanting encore, the brief (3:38) Chinese folk song Liu Yang River

(5.1 channel)
This live recording of the Rachmaninoff Third from a concert Aug. 22, 2001 in Royal Albert Hall is a subdued affair with the gifted young Chinese pianist totally in command but lacking bravura, a rather boring performance in spite of the wild audience reaction at the end. The "surround" sound is barely noticeable over the SACD stereo version. The disk is more attractive with the ten Scriabin etudes as fillers, but there are many recordings of Rachmaninoff's masterpiece superior to this although this is the only yet issued in multi-channel.

TELARC SACD 60588 TT: 61:08
(5.1 channel)
This is a powerful large-scale work for two soloists, large orchestra and chorus, with organ. See S.F.V.'s review . While this multi-channel version is effective in its own way, it doesn't have the big concert hall sound I feel is essential for music of this magnitude. The big, sonorous orchestral sound just isn't to be heard.

A concert where it all comes together: exciting, hilarious conductor; spookily brilliant soloist; and an all-Beethoven concert that'll leave 'em shouting for more. Jeffrey Kahane, conductor / Lang Lang, pianist Roy Thomson Hall Toronto, ON - While Beethoven struggled with fate and the universe in much of his music, these works highlight the more joyous side of the composer's character. The Leonore Overture No. 3 is featured (Feb. 19, 20) , and superwhiz 20-year old pianist Lang Lang plays the 4th Piano Concerto in his TSO debut! And the wonderful, life-affirming, glorious-as-all-get-out Symphony No. 7 tops off the evening.

Saariaho, Tchaikovsky, Brahms: Lang Lang (pf), London Philharmonic Orchestra, Christoph Eschenbach, RFH, 19 th May 2002 (MB) This superb concert was notable on many levels, not least for an incandescent performance of Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto by the Manchurian pianist, Lang Lang Kaija Saariaho s Nymphea Reflection Christoph Eschenbach and the London Philharmonic gave this work the first performance it deserved, the orchestra playing with a unanimity of concentration that was commendable. They were similarly concentrated during their accompaniment to Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto which in many ways must be one of the most technically miraculous performances to be heard in the Royal Festival Hall. Rarely can this concerto have been given such a bravura performance by a pianist still under twenty, and rarely can this much played work have been given a performance as searching as it was here. Lang Lang’s finger work was simply fabulous, as octaves sprung like uncoiled springs. Indeed, at moments he just held his fists quivering over the keyboard before launching into yet more dazzling trills. The first movement was a tour de force and understandably what remained seemed underpowered – the third movement particularly lacking electricity until the closing bars when Lang Lang summoned up the reserves to complete the concerto like a possessed devil.

Editor: Marc Bridle Founder Len Mullenger: Len@musicweb.uk.net Haydn, Rachmaninov, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Balakirev. Lang Lang (piano). Wigmore Hall, Tuesday November 27th, 2001 (CC)
When it was first released, I gave Lang Lang ’s debut disc (Telarc CD-80524) a positive review that highlighted the more sensitive side of this young pianist’s persona. His Wigmore debut was an eagerly awaited event (the place was packed out) and was recorded by www.andante.com : it largely confirmed the impressions given by that disc and certainly gave much pleasure and delight. In an interview with Marc Bridle, Lang Lang stated that he had heard the Wigmore Hall was one with great acoustics. He was cautioned not to over-project, counsel he wisely heeded (at least most of the time). There were a couple of instances in an otherwise delightful account of Haydn’s Sonata in E, Hob. HVI:31 , where Lang Lang was on the brink of overdoing the fortes , but in general they did not detract from the overall impression of a considered reading that caught the various sides of Haydn’s personality well. There was charm and wit in abundance in the outer movements (as well as delicacy and, always, clarity), but it was in the central Allegretto that Lang Lang attained an almost Bachian purity (concurrently drawing silence from his audience).

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.

Saturday, March 1, 2003 Young pianist entrances audience Concert review
By Janelle Gelfand
The Cincinnati Enquirer
The most spectacular pianist of the younger generation was born 20 years ago in Shen Yang, China, and his name is Lang Lang. Lang Lang, who created a stir in the music world when he stepped in to replace an ill Andre Watts at the Ravinia Festival three years ago, wowed the Music Hall audience in his Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra debut Thursday. It wasn't because he was performing a crowd favorite - Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 - but how he played it: with effortless control, color and youthful magnetism. Guest conductor Jahja Ling was on the podium for the concert, which included the CSO premiere of

Twenty-year-old Chinese piano phenom Lang Lang makes his debut with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra this weekend. Here's his conversation by cell phone last week. "Hi, I'm walking down the street in Chicago. I started playing piano when I was 3 years old. I listened to music - both classical and Chinese traditional music - when I was 2 years old. My father and my grandfather play erhu. That's a Chinese instrument that looks like a violin with two strings. My family is all very musical."

But for the large crowd that turned up to listen to this "East meets West" pairing, it was a match made in Heaven. Fresh from a performance in Taipei the night before, this is the St. Petersburg Philharmonic’s second visit to KL and also their last stop before returning to St. Petersburg. The evening saw a return to the orchestra’s roots as it featured a selection of three pieces by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov who, according to Music Director and Chief Conductor, Maestro Yuri Temirkanov, once played with and conducted this very orchestra.

Web Search On the Aisle INDEX Lang Lang At Carnegie Hall: A Star is Born By Philip Anson / April 26, 2001 On the Aisle Lang Lang: A Star is Born Lang Lang, piano Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Carnegie Hall April 26, 2001 It has been a long time since one felt the thrill of discovering a new performer who promises to enrich the music scene for years to come. Last night at Carnegie Hall one had that experience. The 18-year old Chinese-born pianist Lang Lang is hardly an unknown quantity. He made his US debut in 1998 with the Baltimore Symphony, and his big break came in 1999 when he replaced André Watts at the Ravinia Festival. In the last two years he has played with most of the best US orchestras, and his first CD was released last month on Telarc, who signed him up exclusively (though it is only a matter of time before the majors lure him away). Not since the advent of Evgeny Kissin has the piano world been in such a tizzy of excitement. Last night Lang Lang made his New York debut playing Grieg’s Piano Concerto with the Baltimore Symphony, and the prognostications were fulfilled. This is a dynamite pianist. Lang Lang is being called prodigy and Wunderkind, but please recall, he is 18, not 13, at which tender age Kissin and other true prodigies were playing in public. Lang has avoided that dangerous game. He studied in China and has studied at the Curtis Institute of music with Gary Graffman since 1997. He is more or less an adult with adult sensibility. If he never played any better than last night, he would deserve a place among the most accomplished of adults. What must hard-working pianists like André Watts, Emanuel Ax, Lief Ove Andsnes, and Jean-Yves Thibaudet feel when they witness such a precocious blend of technique, sense, and sensibility?
