Album Description:
The long-awaited and highly anticipated recording of Lang Lang performing Chopin's Piano Concertos nos. 1 & 2 has arrived. Both concertos are among the most beloved in the repertoire and Lang Lang's many concert performances frequently receive the highest praise. Lang Lang is joined by Zubin Mehta and the Vienna Philharmonic in a brilliant pairing of talent and temperament. This is sure to become a benchmark recording of these beloved concertos. Lang Lang has sold over 100,000 CDs in the US alone and will be on tour September to November throughout the US, including many performances of the Chopin concertos.

The treatment by Lang Lang and Mehta in this recording is suitably nostaglic, though in terms of tempo not nearly as fast as most other virtuoso (notably Argerich, Yundi Li).
First Movement:
The opening movement's nearly 4 minutes orchestration sounded languid, but the piece soon gained beautiful momentum once the piano solo entered - and ... Read More
