Music reviews of The Magic Of Lang Lang
Music Review: A New Kind of 'Cross-over'
Rating: 5 Stars
Probably so, since the compilation in this CD includes quite a number of Chinese tracks.
Unlike the 'Dragon Songs' or other albums of LL, this is a hybrid compilation of Western piano music and Chinese works.
LL excels in the Chinese tracks. Some of the tracks are a debut release (by LL, if not universally).
LL's musical upbringing starts from Chinese folk music, not 'Tom and Jerry', though he got in touch with this when he was very young.
The unique musical upbringing of LL has resulted in many criticisms as well as raising many eyebrows in respect of his perfomances and interpretations.
While he basically works in Western countries, he is keenly attracted to music at home, both traditional and modern.
This is an unique pianist that 'cross over' from East to West in the true sense of the word. He never mimicks others. Like it or not, such efforts are destined to usher brand new ideas in 'serious' music.
It is true to say that this is a revolutionary pianist, if not magical.
Description of The Magic Of Lang Lang
Lang Lang is the world s most successful pianist, the hottest artist onthe classical music planet (The New York Times). He has an extraordinary
ability to connect with audiences on a deeply personal level, transcending
the classical music world and achieving a level of popularity rarely realized
by concert musicians. His talent and personality make him an ideal
ambassador for classical music and a role model for young people.
Nominated for a GRAMMY?Award for his Billboard chart-topping
recording of Beethoven s Piano Concertos 1 and 4, Lang Lang s visibility
will be at an all-time high, thanks to a live television appearance during
the 50th GRAMMY? Awards on February 10, and an unprecedented
performance on NBC s Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular, airing on
NBC February 9. For the millions of viewers who will be exposed to
Lang Lang, The Magic of Lang Lang is the recording to have, an ideal
souvenir of Lang Lang s signature tunes, beautiful classical works and
traditional Chinese folk melodies.
Remaining firmly fixed on radar screens throughout the year, Lang Lang is
the musical ambassador for China and the Olympics. In May he will embark
on a worldwide Olympic tour performing in 10 cities that have hosted
the Olympics. In August he will co-host the Olympic games on NBC,
transmitting onto hundreds of millions of television screens around the globe.
