Free Music Notes for Lang Lang Live at Carnegie Hall

Free Music Review: This is way better than expected and my respect to LL
Hit: 5 Stars

The starting piece Abegg didn't impress me as much in the concert, honestly speaking, but when I listen carefully and quietly this time, I was addicted to the tone he made. The notes were as if they were falling gracefully from heaven.It just made every part of me feel so right at that moment.I had to wonder if this guy or at least his spirit was indeed from heaven.

The Haydn sonata showed that Lang Lang's really capable of a wide range of repertoires. He can be very "well-behaved" without losing his own style (also shown through his Beethoven Concertos if any of you have seen him playing those).

Schubert's Wonderer-fantasie was as good as expected. I find my word power too weak to describe how much I appreciate his interpretation. Liszt's Reminiscence de Don Juan might be interpreted too thick, nonetheless it is exciting and original. The entire piece is full of Lang Lang's signitures--the bold sound, the note accuracy in the technically challenging spots, the dramatic contrasts and the details. I'd almost call it "Lang Lang's Reminiscence de Don Juan", and I mean it in a good way. Of course, some might say he's not repecting the composer, but for me personally, there's too much more to listen to there that I don't even have room to think while listening. I know it's bad, but how many pianists have that power?!

The softer pieces touched my heart the most. I guess one really shouldn't judge people from their appereance. I could never imagine such an apparently strong and tough guy be so sensitive to music. He has the ability to create so many different layers of colors and warmth in the tone. Even in the softest part of the music, you can still hear all those details. You just can't stop your heart from singing and melting with his music.

I'd give it five stars with no doubt. Regardless of his recent backlash, I believe that he's still THE ONE to watch for! In front of his music, all the criticism seems pale and only shows one thing--he is sort of big now.This is his first solo debut album. Besides music itself, I think it's worth to collect.
