Lang Lang, at 28, is a phenomenon unique in the world today:
“His enormous variety of colour and texture, of dynamic range
and rhetorical gesture, is dazzling. He can sing and sustain
a line, knows where to subordinate accompanying figures, and
achieves a huge range of articulation.” comments the BBC Music
Magazine.
The Chicago Tribune hailed him as “the greatest, most exciting
piano talent in years”.
This 2-CD set presents a new collection of Lang Lang's best
Deutsche Grammophon recordings – Over 130 minutes of piano music
full of virtuosity and emotion sure to please Lang Lang's fans
and all music lovers alike.
As a special extra, it includes the first international release
of Nigel Hess's 24-minute Piano Concerto.

Such a versatile player. He plays with such emotion, so easy on the ear. The usual top D.G. quality, as you would expect.
Thanks Fishpond for your great service.
lang has earned the rare right to record exactly the material she wants, how she wants, and still expect an audience, and "Sing It Loud" reflects that with its self-assured, but often self-indulgent, songcraft - a formula that is ultimately winning due to her charisma and raw talent.
Sharp-edged hooks don't run aplenty, so the songs do not generally demand individual attention, but they also sparkle with spotless polish, the result of an obviously meticulous attention to detail that makes the album play highly satisfyingly.
