Lang Lang delivers his first-ever Beethoven recording, a stunning reading of the extensive Concerto no. 4 and the jubilant Concerto no. 1. Even though he has performed this repertoire extensively in concert, Lang Lang waited for the perfect moment and the perfect team to record his first pair of concertos from these milestones of piano repertoire When Lang Lang embarked on his international career, Christoph Eschenbach became one of his first and most enthusiastic proponents - and a mentor and close friend ever since, Eschenbach was the ideal collaborator for Lang Lang's first Beethoven recording. Nimbly supported by Eschenbach's superb Orchestre de Paris, with its tradition of having been the first orchestra ever in France to perform music by Beethoven, Lang Lang's performance gives further proof as to why he is one of today's most acclaimed pianists. <br /><br />1CD plus bonus DVD including approximately 22 minutes of interview and performance footage. “There is some delightful playing in both works. Lang Lang is at his best in the slow movements, where his range of colour and articulation illustrates his all-encompassing technical command and sense of both elegance and pathos.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2007 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

The performances by a strikingly youhthul Ashkenazy are full of spirit...In many ways the Emperor is the finest of all, freshly inspired, not barnstorming, witha a beautiful, hushed slow movement. The camerawork is straightforward, as one would expect from Brian Large” Penguin Guide, 2010 *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
