Lang Lang - Piano Book

Renowned for his exceptional technique, pianist Lang Lang is able to astound audiences by dashing off the most virtuosic of piano concertos as if they were finger exercises. His Piano Book album, however, is based on an unusual concept for a major recording project. It features many of the short pieces in the classical repertoire which are tackled by almost all aspiring pianists in order to gradually improve their skills. Lang Lang combines these miniatures with other works from all over the world, known and loved in their respective cultures for their simple, touching melodies. The result is an immensely personal album – one whose main aim is to convey the joy of playing the piano, but which also encourages greater respect for the interpretative complexity of seemingly easy pieces.
