Music reviews of Lang Lang Live at Carnegie Hall
Music Review: Good, but could be much better
Rating: 3 Stars
I attended this concert and an earlier one given by Lang Lang before he became a superstar, and the truth is both the fans and the critics are right. There is no question in my mind that Lang Lang can be one of the world's top pianists. It is a question of whether he can stay away from the excesses that are present on this recording, the temptation to play in an overromanticized, self-indulgent, and unmusical way. He can definitely do it; his recording of Rach 3 is proof. So is the Tan Dun, which happens to be an excellent, shimmering, nuanced performance. I think he will probably settle down as he gets older.
I have been somewhat disappointed in the concerto recordings, mostly because I find some of his playing much too slow (see the Tchaikovsky 1). On the other hand, I am quite sure Daniel Barenboim had at least something to do with it, because Barenboim does not strike me as the type of conductor who would stay out of the pianist's way. When Kissin recorded the Tchaikovsky 1 with Karajan, he also played the first movement too slowly. Later, when he played it on TV with Seiji Ozawa, he turned in one of the best performances of all time and played it normally.
Description of Lang Lang Live at Carnegie Hall
This is a dazzling recital, taped live at Carnegie Hall in November 2003--complete with applause. Lang Lang's virtuosity is almost frightening: the Liszt "Reminiscenses du Don Juan" is a showpiece when played "normally." Here, Lang plays it to its extremes, with soft passages amazingly soft and subtly delineated and the bigger moments heaven-thundering. And it is played so fast, and so accurately (a cascade of notes in mid-"La ci darem la mano" sounds like a waterfall), that it leaves the listener breathless--surely just what Liszt wanted. In a Haydn sonata, Lang's classical line is impeccable, but he's not afraid to shine through the music and embellish occasionally. The Schumann "Traumerei" is suitably dreamy and hushed; Schubert's "Wanderer" Fantasy, a real crowd-pleaser, is just that--beautifully played, familiar yet fresh sounding. And an encore, with Lang's father playing a two-string fiddle called the erhu, is a fascinating look into Eastern music. There's more (this is a 2-CD set), and it's stunning--and highly recommended for all admirers of great piano playing. --Robert LevineGeneral CDs
