Music reviews of The Magic Of Lang Lang

Music Review: Where's the Punch Line...
Rating: 1 Stars

...as in what's supposed to be funny about calling this guy the world's most successful pianist? But then, if I got in line for the punch, maybe he'd sound better.

I went to my local CD shop in Berkeley to hear Lang Lang after discovering that two of my most respected reviewer/correspondents on amazon both loathed him furiously. Now I understand why. I should have suspected something when the clerk, an old friend, looked at me as if I were crazy when I asked him to play The Magic of Lang Lang on the store system. Glad I didn't order anything up front. Lang Lang has no great technique, no fast fingers, no subtle touch. And he has interpretational gifts only a pampered child at a private school recital could admire.

How appropriate to find him joined for one last melodramatic encore by Andrea Bocelli, whose groaning makes Tony Bennett sound like Pavarotti.

Get ready, fans! Think of something more scathing than calling me a moron, or I won't bother to answer. I don't like Dinnerstein much, either, but at least she can play sixteenth notes cleanly.

A long time later - Second Thoughts...
...not about his piano technique, which isn't first rate, but about his role in marketing music to a younger audience. I read an interview of Lang Lang on NPR yesterday, during which he talked precisely about trying to recruit younger listeners to classical music in the West. According to him, most classical music lovers in China ARE young, but most of his audiences in America and Europe are a sea of gray heads. Well, as a peformer, I have to say he's right. And if he really does appeal through some charisma to younger listeners, I'll love him for it. It's not unlike the case of the Harry Potter books; they're not all that good, but if they attract children away from game boys toward books, they are very welcome.

Description of The Magic Of Lang Lang

Lang Lang is the world s most successful pianist, the hottest artist on
the 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.
