  • I'd say to the boss, "I'm sorry I'm late for work but Lang Lang was playing Liszt in the train station, I had no choice." Serene.
  • @ellenl6353
    It was incredibly generous of him to play in the mall, where people who might not be able to afford a ticket to his concerts could enjoy his skills.
  • @jaywalker1233
    followed his career since an early TV doc when he was very young and supported by his mum and dad. He has grown into one of the world’s greatest pianists, a consummate musician and a wonderful human being
  • @leafgreen6917
    His performance teaches me how soft tunes can deliver the greatest impact.
  • @Pulsonar
    I often hear talented trained musicians passing time amusing passengers at this busy station. Then a world renowned classical pianist drops by… it’s like night and day. After that performance, passengers ears won’t be the same for a while. It will be some time before they can appreciate the talent of the mortals again.
  • @davidhamtaro
    I can almost hear the soul of every note liberated, floating away in the station.
  • @Han-uz1tl
    That's the future: amazing artists performing for the people, for free, for the heart.
  • @chrisyong8719

  • @annieyue9184

  • @resurgem
    The Leibesträume is sublime. To me, it is the most romantic, passionate piece of music ever written.
  • @brianellory28
    So much feeling in his playing . The music almost stops with his romantic emphasis .
  • Lang Lang's Liszt is passionate romantic with of course impeccable technique. Just the right musical magic for this fortunate crowd and an upright in poor acoustics. Amazing.
  • @cutiewong2920
    The people who's here today such blessings to see Lang Lang in person to enjoy the beautiful sound of piano that he played wish I'm here 💖
  • @mayfung3433
    I bet he hasn’t played on an upright for a long time and still he got so much out of it. Just the most generous personable human being, love educating kids and a great dad now. Met him years ago and got his autograph 😊
