      Or you're Yundi Li, or even better Gyorgy Cziffra, and you go on to play the same piece immensely better, with either more stamina or sensitivity. Either one would be more precise anyways. ;)

      It's bananas the way he gracefully comes off of some notes, and how casually he leans into certain notes as if he's waltzing with the piano. He's mastered this piece. His body language suggests he's beyond comfortable playing this piece and that it's second nature to him.

He always has that face like _"I don't really know what I'm doing, but it sounds good."_ never have I seen a more relaxed piano player, and think of that: he's playing liszt!!

    what is so insane about this performance is that the song itself is extremely difficult to learn for many pianists. it can take months and months to play this song through at proper tempo with minimal errors.
    but then on top of all of that, after all of that time and frustration just getting to that point, you then are tasked with learning to play it like THIS, which is a completely different beast. the true potential of this song cannot be expressed if it is played like a calculator spitting out numbers - even if no mistakes are made.

    This is why Lang Lang is my favorite pianist. He can take pieces that are essentially just showing off difficult technical skills and make them expressive and beautiful. In my opinion that's more important than being overly concerned with lightening fast tempos and super technical playing, because in the end that's what music is for; to be beautiful and pleasant to listen to.

      @@marshan1226 he's overdoing it, taking away from his performance. It's distracting. Even listening to it with my eyes closed, I would say he would've been better focusing on the piece itself. He got carried away and it shows. Showmanship comes from actually delivering a piece, not by playing it up. There is a difference. I'm not saying he's a clown or he's bad, this is probably one of the top performances of this piece out there, still in 2021, but it's just a little conceited for me, and, for him, probably not as nuanced as he would have liked if he focused less on the crowd and in the music itself.

      I honestly think that all he does is play the piece but that he never does anything interesting with it. Comprared to most other pianists on that level he is really boring to watch since it’s all about the technical stuff and nothing about the music. Whenever he plays the piano I just get the feeling that he tries to show off. For example, have you seen his performance of rondo alla turca? Sure, it’s impressive but Also really boring since its all about speed and nothing else
