Pianos on the 蜜芽传媒: Lang Lang

As part of the 蜜芽传媒's piano season, influential Chinese pianist Lang Lang chooses a selection of music reflecting his musical passions.

The influence of the Chinese pianist Lang Lang on music in his home country and abroad is astounding. Here he chooses a selection of music reflecting his musical passions.

Lang Lang has accepted the role as piano ambassador for the Leeds International Piano Competition. His impact as a world class concert pianist has been phenomenal and as a promoter of the instrument, both in his native China and across the world, he has proved second to none.

Lang Lang is the first of a series of guest presenters, who over the next five weeks will offer a selection of music reflecting their personal musical interests and passions related to the piano. These have been recorded for Saturday Classics especially for the Piano Season on the 蜜芽传媒.
