Lang Lang – Debussy: Children's Corner, L. 113: 1. Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum

Lang Lang wowed tourists in the ‘City of Love’ on Valentine’s Day 2019 as he gave a unique album launch concert in Paris on a boat cruising along the Seine, performing pieces from his new album, Piano Book, such as the French classic ‘Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum’ by Claude Debussy.
With ‘Piano Book’, Lang Lang goes back to his first love – to the pieces that made him want to become a musician in the first place. “I dedicate this album to my wonderful piano students and all my friends around the world who love the piano as much as I do.” Rediscovering the most popular and accessible pieces written for learners and lovers of the piano, this album is a journey of inspiration, discovery, fantasy, and learning. ‘Piano Book’ gathers together many of the miniatures that generations of amateur pianists have grown up with. Lang Lang holds them in the highest regard, believing them to be classics in their own right. He wants to encourage piano students across the world to fully appreciate them.

This song is an enigma to me. When I play it it sounds nothing like this no matter how fast. It's all about emphasis on specific notes. It's so beautiful though.

Lang Lang : " Il est Super Bon ! "
🙏🇨🇵 [You're the best ! ]

the visual and audio effects make this so calming and relaxing, but yet so playful and energetic.

The scenery is so beautiful, the flowing river and clock tower with all those blinking lights by the bridge match the piece perfectly, making it more magnificent. Well done!

[carolineneal]

The movement of Lang Lang’s body is key to the passion he conveys through his playing. Thank you, Lang Lang.

I played this when I was 12 and won so many competitions with it. I wish I had video. I had no idea it was this fast, that's probably why I loved it, but daaang. I wish I had video back then.

Lang Lang is a classical music phenomenon. I think the versatility with which he plays the piano and the way he conducts his career, Lang Lang is already a musician forever. He's making his history like the Beatles, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie... Just some of the names I can think of now. There's Ella, unforgettable! All of them, like Lang Lang have an eternal legacy. Generations will come and other musicians will quote him, say his name as an example, frequent environments where they can hear his music. Legacy is more extensive than we imagine, because we don't know where it ends.
I don!'t need to make mirabolical elucubations to discuss what Lang Lang means in the lives of people who admire him. He's the man! That's it.
Sometimes I ask myself: does Lang Lang belong to the music or does the music belong to Lang Lang? Meanwhile, I go on with Lang Lang drinking from this inexhaustible fountain of wisdom. Grateful.

Debussy... mon dieu mais quelle merveille... j'ai l'impression de le redécouvrir à chaque fois, quelle richesse ...

[OscarZhou]

This song seems intimidating at first, but the notes are not really the main point. There are hidden passages and melodies that all need a voice. You need to put your soul into it to make it sound...amazing.

[Haas]
