Magnificent establishment of full accuracy and expressiveness

Not only applies Lang Lang as an outstanding interpreter of the works of the south-eastern hemisphere; He has also brought brilliantly performed the great European composers. After his memorable recording of Chopin's piano concertos with the Vienna Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta in 2008 the exceptional artist now presents another album with compositions by Frédéric Chopin.

Here the listener reveals what unfolded in the life and work of the great Tonpoeten and accounts for much of its influence on the history of music: Chopin's melodies take us into space with no fixed boundaries, to flowers and butterflies, to the lake with his dragonfly, the forest and its birds to magnificent landscapes and to the essentially original, not yet civilized.

Chopin's musical structures usually built around a rather simple bass figure, which develops into a melody, which then decorated more and more. Lang Lang succeeds in very beautiful, these embellishments not only somehow "accommodate" to make on very lyrical and / or virtuoso manner, without him is lost, a single tone, but. A whole dance to melodies interwoven with his hands to an almost overwhelming density. Atmospheric and expressive here developed a sound batch of themes, characters and colors - powerful in their growth and extremely nuanced in the fine lines.

This music never loses something of the unique fascination of her. Like no other artist, it is understood Lang Lang to capture the Chopin oeuvre characterizing sentiment, to interpret and to vary. Differentiated coloring and subtle accents create maximum contrast and transparency. His presentation gains in warmth and vitality. Lang Lang's attack is incomparable, the poetry and the poetry of his performance are convincing down to the subtleties. Listen for the "Andante Spianato" and you know what I mean.

Lang Lang's virtuosity can already exercise a very special charm to the handset, so its accuracy and expressiveness are widely unmatched. We owe him a magnificent recording, which also moves in sound both at the upper border of possibilities.
