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.

[jaywalker]

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

[ellenl]

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.

[davidhamtaro]

I can almost hear the soul of every note liberated, floating away in the station.

[annieyue]

Great pianist and very generous to play at the train station to let people enjoy his great performance!

[leafgreen]

His performance teaches me how soft tunes can deliver the greatest impact.

[alicewood]

Lang Lang strikes me as one of the kindest people alive to listen to all the young people who want a chance at recognition

[Han-uztl]

That's the future: amazing artists performing for the people, for free, for the heart.

[chrisyong]

This guy has magic fingers. Simply mesmerizing performance even at a train station.

[nowkentapplegate]

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.

[cutiewong]

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 💖

[resurgem]

The Leibesträume is sublime. To me, it is the most romantic, passionate piece of music ever written.

[majornewb]

Just casually playing one of the most difficult pieces of music ever to embrace an instrument in front of a public audience effortlessly. Lang Lang is one of the GOATs

[mayfung]

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 😊

[greaterbayareahero]

Gift from the Gods! Great pianist as well as human being! Did so much for Classical music and bringing children into music!

[jempressrhymes]

He always plays with such grace and class. He turns all these masterpieces into a heavenly treat. It's not only moving and impactful. It's a tribute to legendary classical composers, and he'd like the world to hear what 'music souls' are all about.

[rhyfelwrDuw]

Absolutely beautiful playing - gone all goosebumpy listening to it as it's wonderful! What a talented pianist Lang Lang is and what a treat to those listening! I wonder if there were people who stayed who were late for work or an appointment?

[ireneyoung]

Wonderful .what a thrill for those lucky enough to be in the station.

[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.

[brianellory]

So much feeling in his playing . The music almost stops with his romantic emphasis .
