Lang Lang —— BEETHOVEN: Piano Concerto No. 5

Lang Lang nailed me to music. What a magical keyboard fingering! What a music. Maybe even Beethoven was listening.

After comparing different versions of this piece, I really found that Lang Lang's version is one of the most beautiful one, so grand, so wide, and so heart-touching. Perfect to each note!

Orchestra and piano really making music together, great director, great pianist. Now and than I forgot to breathe. Great performance.

the piano entry in the second movement. wonderful

Lang Lang bringt den Flügel zum Singen. Einfach wunderschön ihm zuzuhören.

now I realize the greatness of Beethoven, thanks to Lang Lang

Difficult, even impossible to find a better combination:: Composer, Concerto, Pianist, Conductor !This is the top of classic music! Wanderfull. What a talent!

Lang Lang is such a gentleman, he gave the rose to the female violinist in the end.

One of the most glorious pieces of music performed by an outstanding pianist,orchestra and conductor.This is divine beauty ,thank you for this experience.

Beethoven couldn't imagine of such a talented performance. All the best is here, reminding us of human excellency:::

Ludwig would have been extremely pleased, what an amazing performance from both Lang Lang and Christoph Eschenbach ! An absolute masterpiece.

Christoph Escenbach and Lang Lang are unsurpassed in musical expression in the whole history of playing the piano concertos of Beethoven. The two together with this phantastic orchestra and the soundengeneering pf this recordin are all toether helping Beethoven himself to continue to se alive among us. THIS RECORDING IS INDEED OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!

A prize must be given to the crew that filmed this. This is how you film a concerto!!!

Lang Lang , with his talent and his youthful and  bullish mentality, he had conquered me ! His interpretation of the heroic Beethoven before me  was like no other pianist could attempt ! His vitality matching Beethoven's pride coming all out without any reservation in this concerto ! Amazing ! WHENEVER I AM DOWN, ESPECIALLY RECENTLY AT THE AGE OF 78, THIS HAD GIVEN ME  THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE MY JOURNEY ! THANKS TO  BEETHOVEN AND LANG LANG !  George Wu, AIA, NCARB, ARTIST, PLANNER 2015-6-27

I come back to this one again and again. All pieces fit together so beautifully. Great job Lang Lang !!

For all the haters out there that say that LL is only a cash magnet, read this, listen and be quiet: LL is one of the few top pianists in the world that visits third world countries, not like others who don't go to those countries because they cannot charge less for a ticket, no full house, not enough public with $, not enough education, etc. LL came to Mexico, and not only that, no! He teaches master classes to children everywhere, and México was no exception. As a pianist lover, I always expect someone like Yuja Wang or Argerich to come to Mexico, but, alas, I have to pay for a plane ticket to go to NY, Europe or Japan. Only a few of the great figures like LL or Lisitsa had come here and play for less that 10 bucks a seat. So, thank you Lang Lang, for making classical music accessible for everyone, specially for teaching your wonderful sensitivity to children. Mexico welcomes you always as an ambassador of classical music!

i will throw my hat into the ring and and say i have not heard anybody play it as well as lang lang and i. have been listening for 40 years

What a splendid performance! I don’t understand who dares to call Lang Lang theatrical. He is an amazing classical concert pianist, a very special, fantastical musician who feels the music he plays the way not many can. What a joy to listen and watch him playing. Thank you Lang Lang for sharing with us your great talent. God bless you!

I love Lang Lang's interpretation of Piano Concerto #5.

A truly great pianist who interprets the music so beautifully.
