Lang Lang starts the concert off with Beethovens relatively early Sonata No. Lang Lang moves from Beethoven to Prokofiev to Albniz to Chopin with ease, rarely letting the seams of these huge stylistic variances show. The Musikverein concert lasts around two hours and showcases Lang Langs incredible technique, obviously, but perhaps more impressively his interpretative range. Its instructive to note that Lang Lang chose a completely different venue for the 3D portion of this Blu-ray (included as an extra), the hipper than hip Berghain Club in Berlin. Possessing a febrile technique which can make his hands virtually a blur at timeseven in hi-defLang Lang is also a modernist in the best sense, a kid at heart who is obviously excited to be recording for Sony and to be touring to some of the most awe inspiring venues in the world, including in this instance Viennas incredible Musikverein, a gold-laden concert hall where the artist is literally surrounded by the audience. Lang Lang moved to the United States when he was 15, and is a product of the vaunted Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, where he was mentored by Gary Graffman.
