Lang Lang

Lang Lang is one of the world’s biggest classical stars. He has sold millions of albums, topping classical charts and achieving simultaneous mainstream success, and given sold-out performances at concert halls across the globe with all the world’s leading orchestras and conductors. Equally happy playing for billions of viewers, or just a few hundred children in public schools, Lang Lang is a master of communicating through music. His most recent album Piano Book, a collection of pieces that first inspired Lang Lang to play the piano as a child and led him on his path to international stardom, continues to dominate the classical charts. His recording of Beethoven’s ‘Für Elise’ entered the pop charts in Germany and China and has expanded the pianist’s already vast global audience.
