var javascript_version = 1.0; Piano Phenomenon Lang Lang to Perform March 24 By Marci Janas At 21 years of age, he is younger than some Oberlin students. The phenomenal piano virtuoso Lang Lang, celebrated in all the music capitals of the world and acclaimed as one of the most exciting artists of our time, will present a program of works by Chopin, Haydn, Schubert, Schumann, Scriabin, and Tan Dun in Finney Chapel Wednesday, March 24, at 8 p.m. Less than 200 tickets remain available. Call the Central Ticket Service box office at 440-775-8169 to purchase advance reserved-seat tickets, priced from $10 to $20. If any tickets remain the night of the concert, they will be an additional $3 when purchased at the door. WCPN's “Around Noon” will feature a live, phone interview with Lang Lang on Monday, March 22. The first Chinese pianist to be engaged by the Berlin Philharmonic and all “Big Five” American orchestras, Lang Lang played his first public recital at the age of five, after winning the Shenyang Piano Competition. He had been playing piano for two years. The story of his big break is the stuff of stage door legend. In 1999, when he was 17, he filled in at the last minute for an indisposed André Watts at the Ravinia Festival's Gala of the Century. As the unknown teenager began performing Tchaikovsky's first concerto with the Chicago Symphony, under the baton of Christoph Eschenbach, he “let rip a thundering series of chords and the audience snapped to attention,” wrote Wynne Delacoma of the Chicago Sun-Times

Lang Lang (born 1982) Yes, his name sounds like it might be well suited to a Panda bear, but pianist Lang Lang is considered to be one of the greatest young musicians in the world. He's been performing in public ever since he was five years old, winning a competition playing the works of Chopin and Liszt. Lang Lang was born in Shenyang, the fifth largest city in China. At the age of 15, he moved to the United States to study at Philadelphia's Curtis School of Music. PBS's "In My Life" website asked Lang Lang who his heroes are: "Musically, it was Vladimir Horowitz, who was the greatest pianist of the last century, and also another pianist, Arthur Rubinstein. My personal role model was Michael Jordan. And then when I came to America, it was Tiger Woods, too. Both Jordan and Woods have such great discipline and they’re not only athletes, they’re artists. It’s amazing to watch them play because they’re both so natural, dedicated, and talented." How did he get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, he told PBS: "I woke up every day at 5:00 am to practice piano for an hour. Then I went to school until 3:00 pm, came home, practiced piano some more, and then did homework in the evening. I practiced piano five hours a day!"

Last seen in KL: young pianist prodigy playing with illustrious St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra Last seen in KL: young pianist prodigy playing with illustrious St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra The recent performance by The St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra and pianist Lang Lang stirs Cheryl Lim's passion for classical music by Cheryl Lim It was a strange match indeed to which the Malaysian audience was treated on November 10 at the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas – a 19 year-old Chinese pianist and an almost 200 year-old Russian orchestra. 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.

@import url("/css/global.css"); @import url("/css/screen-layout.css"); The independent student newspaper of the University of Chicago since 1892 Advanced Search / Archives Preferences Piano prodigy makes up for inconsistent orchestra By Malkah Bressler January 14, 2005 in Voices A conglomeration of early classical music—two Haydn symphonies, No. 86 in D Major and No. 99 in E-flat minor, flanked by the early modern Bartók Piano Concerto No. 2—made for an unusual concert at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on January 6. The result, although initially disconcerting, proved to be dazzling upon better acquaintance with the material. Although vastly different stylistically and tonally, the combination of old and modern allowed the audience to explore new dimensions of both. The hidden melodic nature of Bartók’s music accrued the greatest advantage by far. Haydn’s inclination to favor the charming melody over harmony created an atmosphere in which Bartók’s own simple melodies shone through his incessant and overpowering atonal harmonies. The Haydn work also benefited from this comparison; it appeared after the Bartók as a fresh and powerful work rather than the usual carefully calculated piece. However, the performance was unpredictable and oscillated between brilliance and its antithesis. The orchestra began with Haydn’s earlier symphony, appearing to be uncomfortable and hesitant. The first violin section especially suffered from a weak and scratchy melodic timbre. The bows treaded lightly and wavered uncontrollably on the strings. Although it is true that Haydn should not be played with untoward gusto, neither should he be played so lightly that the melody appears consumptive.

Lang Lang's big break came in 1999 at the age of 17 when he filled in at the last minute for Andr‚ Watts at the Ravinia Festival's "Gala of the Century," playing the Tchaikovsky piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony. The fateful substitution precipitated some landmark performances for Lang Lang, including his sold-out Carnegie Hall debut, a performance in Bejing's Great Hall of the People with the Philadelphia Orchestra on its 100th anniversary tour, and a popular BBC "Proms" debut, prompting The Times of London's critic to write: "Lang Lang took a sold-out Albert Hall by storm. .This could well be history in the making."

The Mendelssohn concerto is a bright and personable work, well suited to the pianist's light, nimble touch. As it is, though, Lang Lang and the Chicago Symphony under Daniel Barenboim lead off with the Tchaikovsky, a war-horse if ever there was one - the thunderous brass opening perhaps as famous as any piece of classical music ever written. It's an old story, but worth repeating. Tchaikovsky wrote the piece with a Russian pianist named Nicolai Rubinstein in mind, but Rubinstein hated it, telling the composer to his face it was unplayable and vulgar. Tchaikovsky stood his ground, however, and refused to change a note. The piece has been hugely popular since its premiere in Boston in 1875.
