lang lang watch

Since the piano sensation Lang Lang is coming to play a Gala performance with the Oregon Symphony in October 2008 (Friday, October 3, to be exact), I thought that keeping you Portland classical music and piano fans apprised of his activities might be in order.

So, here’s the first Lang Lang watch - enjoy.

• Do you remember that funny listing of Lang Lang vs. the Chinese Philharmonic? Apparently Lang Lang won the bout, as the tour has been canceled.
• Peter Dobrin of the Philadelphia Inquirer discusses Lang Lang’s “persuasive power”.
• Lang Lang “goes ballistic” at a Minnesota Schubert recital.
• “Virtuosity and sneakers” in Philly.
• “Has Lang Lang grown up?” in Minnesota.
• Lang Lang vs. Yundi Li in Washington, D.C.
