Lang Lang wowed tourists in the ‘City of Love’ on Valentine’s Day 2019 as he gave a unique album launch concert in Paris on a boat cruising along the Seine, performing pieces from his new album, Piano Book, such as the French classic ‘Clair de lune’ by Claude Debussy.
With ‘Piano Book’, Lang Lang goes back to his first love - to the pieces that made him want to become a musician in the first place. “I dedicate this album to my wonderful piano students and all my friends around the world who love the piano as much as I do.” Rediscovering the most popular and accessible pieces written for learners and lovers of the piano, this album is a journey of inspiration, of discovery, fantasy and learning. ‘Piano Book’ gathers together many of the miniatures that generations of amateur pianists have grown up with. Lang Lang holds them in the highest regard, believing them to be classics in their own right. He wants to encourage piano students across the world to fully appreciate them.
Enjoy the video of this famous poetic piece along the landmarks of Paris by night.

As long as he spends a piece of his soul playing it, it's fine. Either listening or watching the gentleness & precision of his touch, it's evident. I guess it's not just placebo, the difference of execution, the investment, is having an effect on us, like it or not. Though that's just a dazzled opinion of a pleb, utterly unrelated to the classical musical world & instrument playing.

This is the most smooth interpretation I have ever listened to, its like a steady stream flow of water, it even seems like you don't know whats coming next after each note, eventhough you have heard it hundreds of times, some people play it section for section and you can clearly distinguish the transitions, which makes it not so smooth to listen to and just feels like text book playing, but Lang Langs takes it to a whole different level.

Questions are inevitable, and, believe me, I have myriad questions. (Fervently, I hope the answers will come ... someday.)

Best Clair de Lune on the whole Internet :'( My fav was Seong jin-cho, but this man make me move...
@shirleyhare6177 5 років тому
Others lack the emotion that Lang Lang has, the ability to make us feel it with him! He has always been my no.1 and will continue to be! Though, I do like listening to others like Seongjin, also Nobuyuki Tsjii, best three at present, for me!

My favorite is SeongJin Cho as well, and I’m glad that I listened to this Lang Lang version. These are my best twos

Man. Lang Lang gets criticized for his seemingly exaggerated hand movement and facial expression, but he is truly one of the best pianists of our times. I am glad he made a remarkable comeback after his injury. I can't wait to see him back in a concert hall.
@Nico-rw2tl 5 місяців тому
For what I have seen, it is above all that he has interpreted and massacred certain pieces which, however, are not the most demanding... But that does not mean that everything is to be thrown away with him like what some can say, the proof here.
@chrislinhares7311 3 місяці тому
Injury? As if he is some athlete. If you get injured playing the piano, then you must be doing something terribly wrong. This is the record company trying to profit (once again) from contrived garbage - since they found a show-off who wants to be a star.

I play this glistening moonsong by actual moonlight. Especially when the full moon fills the room with silver spirit. And I always imagine Claude on the night he wrote this piece. What a night it must have been. What a night it still is. Lang Lang is there, very obviously.

@@jetbrown3085 Jet, I thank you, sincerely. I fear we are being deliberately led away from the higher vibrations of true reality. We are being mired in the low vibes of an illusion that does not leave room for sparkling moonlight. That is why I return to the well and listen to this recording and so many others like it. Thank you. What you say makes you a partner in awareness.

He wrote the piece to complement with a poem (same name). It’s about an old France high society dancehall with fancy people. A happy place, but people aren’t happy in it. It creates a complex emotional suspense beautifully transcribed by Lang Lang.
@carlorachel 4 роки тому
@@8ballpaul "The while they celebrate in minor strain, Triumphant love, effective enterprise, They have an air of knowing all is in vain..." Quite sad, isn't it? To be so blessed but so separated from that through which true value springs. The dulcet harmonies Debussy offers as he paints a vision to be remembered also give hope that minor is merely major waiting for its moment.
