To contact us Click HERE
This review in a nutshell: If you like Lang Lang and/or Chopin, you'll enjoy Lang Lang: The Chopin Album. That should be enough, but if you want more, keep reading....

Lang Lang is one of those people who makes me wonder "what if" - especially since he's 30 now, and that's the same age I am. And it might sound pretentious, but I did have a point about 15 years ago where I could have made the decision to focus on performance, and didn't.

Lang Lang is critically acclaimed and has a busy concert performance schedule. He's very popular as both a performing and recording artist in the classical world. This album includes pieces any classical fan will recognize, including the second set of Chopin's Études op. 25, three Nocturnes, and the "Minute" Waltz. Fans who want to know more about the influence Chopin has on Lang Lang's life will enjoy the Deluxe Limited Edition with a bonus DVD containing an interview with Lang Lang and the special place Chopin has in his life and archive footage of Lang Lang playing Chopin, with excerpts from his early concerts and competitions.

On Tuesday, October 30th at 6:30PM, Lang Lang will give a special one-night only concert, hosted by Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG Award-winning entertainer Alec Baldwin, at Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium to raise funds for the Lang Lang International Music Foundation. Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell and Grammy and Tony Award-winning jazz artist Dee Dee Bridgewater and Danish singer-songwriter Oh Land will make special guest appearances along with other surprise star performances to be announced. For more information on the foundation please visit www.langlangfoundation.com.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this CD to facilitate this review.
