They should give sore throat relief drops to everyone in the public before every classical concert.
i think most of the people who appreciate classical music are old, that might explain why they always caugh
Bilzebor It is rather the low humidity of air. Even children cough on concerts ;)
in carnegie hall they have a bucket of free cough drops... it makes the performance even more sweet haha
1. Theatres tend to be dry, for obvious reasons
2. I will take coughing over the sound of crinkling to unwrap cough drops EVERY TIME
Why??
To those who don't play piano it might seem an over emotional performance, but as a low level wizard watching this grand master wizard perform so well, i can only imagine he's seeing pulsing color and imagery with his eyes closed. Incredible performance.
Oh my... I'm literally crying my eyes off. When my grandfather, my hero, passed away in 2011 I made a video about him in Windows Movie Maker. This was the song in the video.. After that my laptop got broken and I lost the video, and this song. Couldn't remember the name and didn't find this.. Now I accidentally got here and .... This is the biggest musical flashback I've ever felt.. Rest in peace pappa one day we'll meet again
That version of the song was included in Windows 7 I think, it's called Richard Stoltzman - Maid with the Flaxen Hair
@@TiagoSeiler Thank you sir! It hit me again.. Now hearing the same version that actually was in Movie Maker gave me the same experience I had 2 years ago.. again crying like a baby, oh memories
That such a pretty song choice, Rest In Peace.
yes the word that comes to mind, especially 1:15-1:30, is "heroic" :)
I found this song after losing it too!! I heard it in a jubilee video and thought it was an original by someone else. Then I’m listening to the Apple Music piano chill playlist and this comes up and I’m like HIS SONG!!!!
I love the fact that he makes "odd faces" because it means that he's getting lost in the music, you can tell he loves playing, and expressing himself through his talent. Like, whenever any of you do something you love, I bet you act differently, and even make different facial expressions. Hop off, he's amazing.
Blind people do that all the time.
What about Horowitz, Rubinstein, Heifetz, David Oistrakh and others who didn't do "odd faces" but were exceptional virtuosos?
I've said this before: if those facial expression were genuine, there would often be tears - I mean I sometimes tear up when I hear the epic Beethoven, etc. But since these virts don't, then I say it's just show business. If you are lost, your expression is bliss. You don't see mothers acting out when holding their newborns.
And even if these expression are real, even with no tears, then I say the artist, being a conduit from The Creative to the music is "leaking" - some of that "creative" intended for the music has leaked out in the form of body expression. It's an energy argument - I'm an engineer.
@@DaviSilva-oc7iv Tienes toda la razón: los pianistas en serio no necesitaban todas esas payasadas para extraer de las partituras lo que el compositor había volcado en ellas. Este, junto con su compatriota, Yuja Wang, deberian dedicarse a exhibir sus "destrezas" en los cabarets de cuarta.

wow.. his dynamic control is out of this world..
most people have soft mid and strong.. he has 0 to 100 with 3 decimal places..
i think the nicest version of this I've ever heard.. it's like an inner ear massage..
One of the most physically and musically expressive pianists I have seen. Delightful rendition.
Indeed .
I felt his pain, his joy. What an amazing interpretation.
Unlikely the pain and that overdoing have nothing to do with this prelude...
J'écoute Debussy depuis plus d'un demi-siècle et je ne m'en lasse pas. Merci à Lang Lang pour sa merveilleuse interprétation.
La fille aux cheveux de Lang Lang
hahahaha
I'm done 5 years later 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You sir won the internet. Pin his comment and give this man an Oscar
LMFAOOOOOOO
Omg you made my day lfmao
Lang Lang's face the whole song is mine when I get the freshest fries from McDonalds, nice and crispy
Ha ha ha ha 😊
Arthur Albarran i cant unsee this now 😭
underrated comment
You are aware that the fries from McDonalds are ... NOT good, are you?
@@pw6002 Yes I'm aware, but it is just a joke and you are taking this way to seriously. Stop wasting your time and just dislike the comment.
2:05 he does the dab
haha
the weirdest dab ever XD
I have always been sceptical of Lang Lang but to me this is utterly beautiful. So many pianist see the music as a way to demonstrate their virtuosic skill but he takes this so slowly that you can feel the effect of each beautiful chord and he combines it with such musical passion and emotion. One of the only pianists to do 'impressionism' justice.
+Lewis Cullen The music of Debussy was not written to express virtuosity; it is to express emotion.
Yes, which is precisely why I love this interpretation.
Lewis Cullen Yes.
This piece requires little in the way of mechanical virtuosity, but MUCH VIRTUOSITY in the area of tone balancing in the chords so the voicing is correct, and great judicial care with respect to rubato. It allows such room for musical interpretation. I love it, but it IS deceptively difficult!
He goes to another sphere and takes us all with us. Incredible talent.
I don't understand why people hate Lang Lang so much .... I just don't ....
Enjoy the music and stop looking at his face !
Bebeto Tandane Jr. there‘s people who hate him? for what lmao
having more talent than them?
He's so wonderful but looks like a gargoyle sometimes. I have to close my eyes to enjoy his extreme talent.
His face is the best part. He's a showman, he understands that even classical musicians can have stage presence.
I love Lang Lang but I think he and his piano should just get a room.
if you love him, then surely YOU should get a room with him.
well, if your ear cannot distinguish what is beauty, please shut up. you can get yourself a room all day.
D-Zone They did get a room, they're just a lot of people in the room with them...it's a little weird if you ask me.
jie langone I don't think you understand the joke. He is playing this beautifully, but the facial expression he makes are a bit disturbing...
Hahaha! I was just thinking about his expressions throughout the video then saw this comment
J'avais des bribes d'harmonie de ce Debussy en tête et je suis tombé sur vous, c'est sublimissime !
Each time I hear this gem there are tears in my eyes... Such a beauty! Debussy is a genius indeed. And, of course, Lang Lang's performance is superb, as always. 10 of 10!
The music goes through his body, his mind, his soul. The way he expressed himself in this piece is utterly beautiful beyond words. Not many people can genuinely feel the music as passionately as Lang can. It is mystical...
I love how he translates his own joy and emotions into his playing. A true artist
Sublime. I play this piece too and I know the score well, and this is the best interpretation of this piece I have ever heard. The variety of colours it manages to bring out of the piano is wonderful.
Как называется эта пьеса?
@@user-kp8zo4ko6g You have it in the title of this video: Claude Debussy, La Fille aux cheveux de lin.
This is nice. I know a lot of folks hate him, but not me...he's highly entertaining and his performances are superb. Great interpretation. Thanks for posting.
Why people hate him???I have never heard
I wouldn’t say people hate him…they just think he’s a bit much.
This is one of the best renditions of the piece I have heard.
We don't have to agree with his hand movements and performance but this sounds almost perfect. :)
The periodic coughs throughout this performance are maddening. Ruins listening to this otherwise impassioned, brilliant performance, I'll have to look for a CD.
Beautiful ! it takes mew back to my home country remembering the misty fog around the lake and smell of the fresh green tress after the rain.
4uSBD where? That sounds nice
A beautiful melody and the expression on Mr. Lang's face says it all.
I think the way Lang Lang shows that he is enjoying the music is fantastic.
Body, soul and spirit in perfect harmony.
Aucun mots ne peut être plus puissant que ce qui est ressenti là, à l écoute de ce trésor, et à la présence de ce qui se vit en lui c est tellement beau😭🙏❤
I understand LangLang, when im practicing (playing the whole piece through) i get high on music. the harmonic progression, you can feel it through every pore of your body and every inch of your bones. and you just smile with pure joy. :) and your face distorts into beauty
rly true especially arabesque and clair de lune i rly get high on those piece btw wow ur comment literally from 9 years ago
Perhaps that is the best way to connect with this piece since the poem is rather carnal. Myself, I'm drawn into the music leaving nothing but "sleeping face." Bliss. Serenity.
I used to be very critical of his interpretations, but now I understand that different people play differently and I respect him for trying to put in emotion.
I love Lang Lang's presentation. As in so many, many of his performances he plays from his heart and from a point of love. He spiritually captures what I feel to be Debussy's intent. Bravo!
His playing is poetic and articulate. I salute you Lang Lang
I can tell that he absolutely loves this song, and puts his all into playing it so beautifully. I love watching him perform
@silverbud As you just love sitting on UA-cam replying to multiple year old comments on the same video being hateful. If you don't enjoy it, then why are you watching so many of his videos? Not everyone needs to be of your opinion.
I think it's beautiful to see him fully express himself and his feelings towards playing the piano and the pieces that he plays. You can sense he feels free while he's playing, not like some others, sitting like they've got a stick up their ass
+Nadia Woźniak Being completely free is different from being a clown. Look at Gilels, Lang Lang has somewhat similar musical ideas with him and look closely how "real freedom" really looks like.
Or maybe other pianists prefer to concentrate on the music they're making and not on how they appear to others?
as an accomplished classical pianist. HE is out of style..... shove that up your ass
LMAO why did you have to put that part at the end 💀
Okay, I know this is 7 years old, but I don't think he looks free. He looks really ridiculous and it looks like he's acting like that just for the performance
Dead piece comes alive! I've played this piece all my life and never felt I could make it sound...special. Now, I have a clue. Thanks, Lang Lang.
子供の頃に「亜麻色の髪の乙女」を聴き魅了されて以来、クラシック音楽やドビュッシーのファンになりました😊ランランさんはいつも楽しそうに弾かれる姿がこちらもウキウキしてきます（笑）因みにこの曲は挑戦して頑張って何回も練習しましたがなかなか上手く弾けず未完のまま、、、ピアニストの方々に憧れと尊敬を感じます💝
I don't understand the hate for this. People don't realise Lang Lang is spot on with the timing, tone and rhythm. Personally, when they hate this they are also hating on Debussy because the interpretation of this piece is just as Debussy wrote on the sheet...
I dont want to hate but i think you should get your facto right. Debussy didnt Write this Piece like that. Lang lang is going faster at some parts and slower at others than what was written. He is not on time, but that's okay because it's his interpretation. Debussy wrote freely for the speed, so the pianist interprets it individually however he wants to. So he isn't playing exactly like Debussy wrote it or on time and he shouldn't be.
Actually, you can find Debussy's own performance of the piece on UA-cam and it's nothing like this. Although the piece is certainly open to interpretation, I personally find Lang Lang's overdone. ua-cam.com/video/wv8iHEM4g7Q/v-deo.html
Beautiful...he doesn't simply play it, he feels it & portrays it. That's an artist.
The contrast in color, dynamic, tempo is really well done. Feel like it's easier to enjoy the performance with eyes closed though
This piece is my fav of Debussy , it just resonates with me ……brilliant performance of Lang Lang ….👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Todo lo que escucho de lang lang es como magia. Sus interpretaciones son fantasticas y unicas. Es un actor de la musica.
with all respect for lang lang, plays it really well. his face even making me enjoy it more
love the sound quality so much.
This is the most beautiful thing I have heard in a while
My son brought this home yesterday from his piano lesson and I've been playing it since. Lovely to hear LL's rendition - for me it evokes nostalgia. Big fan of Medici TV - have been a subscriber to their online service for years. Cheers and thank you all these years later - David
Say what you want about Lang Lang, but he absolutely embodies this piece and elevates it to perfection.
Interprétation sublime aussi doux que les cheveux de lin qui danse molto lentamente con calma.
Bémol à écouter les yeux fermés. Lang lang comme toujours est trop manièré.
Not only is that what counts, it's all that counts. If the player is THAT into the performance then so much the better. Who cares if he looks a bit silly, surely we can be adults about this and appreciate the joy this music brings and how much more intensely that joy must be felt by someone able to play such beautiful music so wonderfully.
This is my favorite UA-cam video. Breaks my heart.
Having a seizure with style
yes omg
Can't say i like the music but i always like to see people in their element loving what they're doing
why are so many people coughing omfg stop
Every time I'm hearing live music I get a cough, I think everyone does. It's one of the universe's big jokes on humanity.
If people cough. They should be led out of the hall for the rest of the performance. No refund.
Pretty sure it's the air-conditioning making people's throats dry.
Debussy produce tos.
FOR REAL
Guys, stop making fun of how he plays the piano.
IMO, THAT'S how you truly enjoy music: when your whole body flows with the song, and you're just taken away by the music. And I think that that makes a song sound that much better. The more emotion and soul that is put into a song, the better it sounds.
So I suggest you all shut up about it and enjoy the musical artistry.
An amazing performance, as always :) I don't understand how people can say he plays it so bad.
The way he expresses the music in performance and movement and facial expression...I can almost smell the songs beauty like a delicate and soft fragrance.
So beautiful. He plays with such sensitivity. As much as people berate him for his liberal approach to interpreting the music, you can't deny his utter perfection of touch and phrasing.
J’adore voir Lang Lang jouer, j’adore sa posture, j’adore son attitude, j’adore son engagement…
Claude Debussy encore. Pour une petite merveille, trop courte à mon gré, jouée cette fois par Lang-Lang, le pianiste chinois, qui apporte, en plus, sa légéreté de touche à la traditionnelle et surprenante rénovation musicale de Debussy. Ecoutez et voyez. Ces secondes éthérées évoquent tout ce que vous avez rêvé? Pourquoi ne pas mettre cette pièce d'orfèvrerie musicale avant de faire l'amour ?
This is his way of dancing while he is playing.
LANG LANG a WONDERFUL PIANIST!!! a MASTER!!!
he's present with each note. i just can't believe that people give him the business for being so very much himself while he plays.
I love my mom's interpretation of this song, it's still the best yet. It was about this love from a distance and the melancholy when the girl slipped away. Maybe I'm so used to it I can't feel anything in any other version...
His facial expressions are hilarious 😂😂😂
i have to say that as a french man listening to debussy sinds my teenage years. This is pure music.
This is so awesome, So rarely have I heard this piece performed well, Bravo.
Lang Lang is the most emotional pianist ever. Therefore you need not to watch his face, just listen to the music.
Very masterful expression and interpretation! Thanks for posting!
This one of the best performances of this composition I've ever experienced along with Zimerman's from the Deutsche Grammophon Preludes album.
This is a "pastel"piece and meant to be interpreted as such
with great sensitivity.
So u get a room.
So beautiful. I wish to hear him playing more Debussy's works.
I don't see how anyone could criticize this performance, it's so personal to him and how he thinks it should be played. And by doing this there's so much more emotion in it! who cares what he does with his face
Personally i think Lang Lang is a joy to watch!!!
His music is beautiful and it shows his obvious passion for music!
I would rather watch someone like Lang Lang who has expression than someone who has a face like -_- and plays like a machine!
It gives the music it's own unique feel and adds emotion!
Lang Lang is freaking amazing!!! ^-^
Beautiful! Lang Lang is my Hero
Beautiful! The interpretation is full of sincerity and sentiments! Let's appreciate this! Pure musicality! xxx
yo, Lang Lang's phrases go on forever. well done hommie
Wow, that was so nice. Is't interesting to see a master that can kill a dragon playing kindly with a tiny ladybug. In love with Debussy's preludes lately, listening to them a lot...
Just totally inspired by the way he plays this piece. Tone is beautiful not showmanship or else sound would not be this wonderful. If he holds back and thinks of what he looks like when playing, it would not be this expressive. E. Tufankjian
Happy birthday to Debussy and thank you for posting and to him for this performance
ONE BIG BIG Heart For Him...
love to watch his face feeling every emotion in the piece. Wonderful. How I wish I'd stuck with those lessons so long ago.
Very beautiful - but I did shut my eyes to listen. The ever-restless audience did not ruin it - Lang Lang is making this piece come to life and lift off.
I cried in front of the pure beauty of the piece of music !!!!
A blessing to my ears.
For people who criticize him for the facial features.....he's feeling the music. And enjoying it. I wouldn't want to watch a performance where a pianist would just sit there, still as a rock and have no emotion in the music whatsoever. Come on guys, seriously.
My favorite version of this pice. I could care less what kind of faces he makes when he makes music that beautiful.
He attacked some of the chords a bit too harshly for my taste, but the soft parts were very well played and overall it was great!
MDkid1 I think sometimes he hit the higher notes in the chords a bit harsh. But it was great if you just listened to the beauty of the music.
he did it because he always has to make the public feel ...
@@kirinokousaka8243 Some of the dynamics are too loud. Debussy was as intent on making the listener "feel" as anyone. What the composer wrote should be observed.
芯のある音がとてもきれいです
When you are in the presence of "excellence" you should remain silent.
Lang Lang is a great artist! Period!
My absolute favorite interpretation of this piece. I've heard so many, and I always end up comparing them to Lang Lang's
He really is making love with that piano :'D
Its called emotion, i personally like to see movement, instead of someone crunched up playing notes off a sheet of music, lang lang finds each note and brings them forth with emphasis and feeling to express every piece of the composition to give it meaning.
You should try it when you play, it helps to relax the body and you enter a trance phase which helps you play smoothly.
He's enjoying playing the piece and i'm only too glad to listen.
I think the way Lang Lang shows that he is enjoying the music is melodramatic.
without looking his face, the performance is great , haha !!
I saw some people that have no worth to watch this video. I wish to God you would close mouth(maybe your fingers)and eyes to hear this piece. Then this posting will make your day more rich
The girl in the flaxen hair...m...m...i love it.beautiful picture draw in this masterpiece.awesome Debussy.
Corection: The girl WITH flaxen hair that is "blond" in french.
This is so beautiful 🥲
I think he jizzed in his pants
01:55, right?
I love the original way more than his rendition. His is almost unrecognizable.
Debussy I love this song .... ❤
