Title: Not good at all
Product review: This is just bad, amateurish, silly playing. I have heard pianists in second rate competitions play better. Lang Lang lacks any depth when playing Rachmaninov and has no intensity whatsoever. Some of the tempi make your blood boil. Lang Lang thinks he can just play around with Rachmaninov and turn it into some type of Jazz improvisation. Time is a scarce commodity these days and this will be a compounded waste at that. This is one of the most popular concertos and maestros from the four corners have studied and played this. Maybe Lang Lang should consider composing an adaptation to Palestrinas choral music for piano. That way he will have the luxury of playing a piece and not being compared to anyone else. In fact the only way Lang Lang could obtain 5 stars is if you compare him to the 99.9 percent of the population that could not play this in the first piece. Although that is a humorous proposition all in all this is complete trash.
