Interesting.
What’s a French wedding ?
A “French wedding” nowadays is a tacky wedding for rich Chinese. True to form, Lang Lang’s wedding is as tasteless and tacky as his piano playing.
I still don’t get it: in what way is it different from any other wedding ?
I know what a French garden is, but as for a French wedding, well, maybe Mr. Lebrecht needs to enlighten us.
The catty remarks here at Slipped Disc are really sickening, and the fact that they’re made in this cowardly anonymous manner makes them even more disheartening. This is a perfect example, “Wedding Banquet.” Your remark would be infuriating if it weren’t so obviously coming from a sad and disturbed person. Why did you make it?
Lang Lang isn’t playing classical composers. He is playing Lang Lang. The speed is prestissimo to impress the public. (How sad)
Well, well…… jalous does not ‘sound’ good, hope you feel better tomorrow
Yes, that’s a very French garden. Lots of clumping green topiary and virtually no colour.
You all need to get informed. The quote comes from a French landscape gardener.
Bah…I give up
The same could be said with Lang Lang’s pianism.
Congrats to Lang Lang’s new beard.
Where? I can’t even see stubble!
Er, he hardly needs ‘respectability’ to advance his career (if anything, the opposite is true these days).
Good luck to the new couple!
For some strange reason, I am thinking of beards …
Holy!
(There go all my preconceptions!)
It was a marriage of convenience…they can share make-up.
Why would he want to use make-up?
Oh,l I see. You are having a snigger about gay men and pretending they’re into girly things like make up.
Go and get a tissue.
Not even close, Paul. This is where you went, not I.
So why the snigger about make-up?
For some strange reason, I am thinking of Leonard Bernstein…
For some strange reason, I am thinking of Michael Jackson! He always reminded me of Michael Jackson, in his later years!
Or Rock Hudson…
It will give the snarky nobodies a chance to aim their cheap
shots at him . Give him his day and let go the dreary pot
shots or is that too civilized .
Thank you, Wladek. Civility is the one thing lacking from most of the regular respondents on Slipped Disc.
Well that’s lovely. Congratulations!
Why is Norman Lebrecht so mean? You can say whatever you want about someone’s playing because you are a music critic. But now taking digs at a musician’s personal life? That’s not tasteful.
Also, it’s clear that you were giving a jab even if you didn’t spell it out, so no excuses here.
