Why do you guys hate him so much?
We hate him because he sucks.
I am looking forward to how he plays in 50 years time.
1st track was about a minute long and labelled "applause".
I might also put the CD calmly on the floor jump in the air and land on the CD with my righ foot.
This is not constructive or informative. WHY does he "suck"? If you're talking about Death Metal this sort of mindless 7th grade grumbling response is acceptable. But this is about higher things, a more advanced plane of musical existence. Please elaborate, we want to know why you feel the way you do. And who do you like? And whether we agree with you or not, we will all learn something in the discussion, hopefully. BTW I think Lang Lang is an extraordinary talent, and a much needed breath of fresh air in the largely stuffy world of classical piano, which is choking on it's own inbred conceit. I don't care for a lot of what he does, I HATE his mugging and mannerisms, but you know what? He's invloved, and completely comitted to what he does, he seems to be fused with the piano when he plays. I will be listening to a recording or watching a video, and making the usual clinical evaluation of what I am hearing and seeing, a lot of it is immature and unfocused (just like the young Horowitz), and suddenly, without knowing it, I am caught up in it like I'm in a hurricane, loving it and him, even though mah mature professional musician bad self knows better....better than what? Time will tell if Lang Lang will prevail, or wash up on shore like so many talented young performers evantually do, for a variety of reasons. I think he will prevail. In the meantime, enjoy him for what he is, an extraordinary pianist, one of the greatest ever, like him or not. The only thing wrong with Lang Lang is that he is excessive and overboard a lot of the time, and has those faky physical mannerisms. Hey, maybe they're genuine...but I think he does it for effect.Just close your eyes, listen, don't watch....
He has gone up somewhat in my estimation for learning the Tippett Piano Concerto for a live concert performance. This is an exceedingly difficult piece (rhythmically and awkward writing), and it certainly merits an occasional outing.
I was looking through a cd store yesterday and came across some or other live recording of his and the 1st track was about a minute long and labelled "applause".
all of you who're spitting on him, may i ask, how many of you actually have seen him on concert? or even heard his music? lang lang sucks.. what a silly people..
If you think that LANG LANG is a great Virtuoso, think again , Hameline would show LANG LANG a thing or two about piano playing.
Also, I think Lang Lang is funny, look at this video of him:https://rapidshare.de/files/14738484/Lang_Lang_going_crazy.avi.html
. however, there's no need for trying to convince me in something other zheer
I was looking through a cd store yesterday and came across some or other live recording of his and the 1st track was about a minute long and labelled "applause". I didnt know whether to laugh or throw my hands up and scream at the audacity. I ultimately ended up doing both.
Applasues kill your ears. They are random noise, terrible. And loud too. Why don't they all write the performer a personal letter and send that.
What makes you think that i am attempting to convince you in something other, isnt that a little self centerd.
I like lang lang too, even though sometimes I feel his interpretations for certain pieces need to be more historically informed. I also don't get why so many people dislike Lang Lang.
Nobody takes Lola seriously IMHO. Her short skirts, botox lips, angel wings, etc, are used to attract attention and views to her clips despite her complete lack of musicianship IMO. She is a doll who knows how to hit right keys at the right time.
Maybe, but she ain't as bad as THIS person:
I dont hate him, But I definitly dont like him either. I kind of think he fakes his playing and emotions a lot the time. When I watch him play I have a mixture of and .Why do you like him so much?
