Lang Lang – Great Performances: Beethoven in Beijing

@greatperformances presents ‘Great Performances: Beethoven in Beijing‘, spotlighting the resurgence of classical music in China through the legacy of the Philadelphia Orchestra, the first American orchestra to perform in China in 1973. Following the end of China’s Cultural Revolution, when Western classical music was banned in favor of politically themed works, the onset of “Beethoven fever” began. Narrated by American and Chinese musicians and historians, the film explores the impact of the Philadelphia Orchestra’s historic tour on China both then and now. Philadelphia-trained pianist Lang Lang shares his stories of how Beethoven’s music shaped his careers as China’s classical music scene boomed. Featuring archival footage and first-person recollections from American and Chinese musicians, the documentary brings the 1973 visit to life alongside a behind-the-scenes look at present-day tours capturing the dynamism of China, from its new concert halls to its tens of thousands of young musicians.

Competitions are overrated. Not that I'm an expert but, the performance itself is what matters most and Lang Lang performs at the highest level.

Hey Lang Lang, I'm looking forward to listening to you play _Jeux d'eau a la villa d'este_ and _Au Lac de Wallenstadt_ by Franz Liszt

Your playing is the equivalent of meditation when you play relaxing pieces
