Throw in a free diamond encrusted candelabrum to round off the tackiness of Lang Lang’s pianism.
Amen!
If China is the future of classical music, then things look bleak indeed. I do not look forward to the Chinese century, the land of acrobats & the saccharine sensibility.
because Arabs do classical music better?
Acrobats and the saccharine nonsense is what is exported. For something deeper and more interesting, try the Ch’in. Unfortunately, it is about as loud as the clavichord, so not a good fit for, say, Carnegie Hall or the Musikverein.

I’m surprised it’s not just entirely a mirror surface, to better look at himself from every angle.
I’d rather buy a Barenboim and enjoy the sound difference.
The marketing and Lang Lang a long love story… boring for me. Today there are in Asia pianists more intersting like Seong and Yeol Eum Son.
Looks tacky.
Why not add some garish fluorescent highlights while they are at it.
The official piano of Shen Yun.
I’d rather have a Fazioli
Lang Lang ago, there was Liberace …
I think it’s a lovely piano. It’s not overdone like some of the past Steinway special edition or art pianos.

A piano as gauche and tacky as its designer…
I am sad for Lang Lang, for I believe that underneath the glitz there is a proper talent waiting to escape. Nonetheless, he really only has himself to blame for the disdain that he now attracts almost universally
People who hate on Lang Lang
1.Never heard him,
Or
2.Have no ears/taste.
He, along with Fazil Say, are the most interesting, artistic, and fascinating pianists in the world. Everybody else is boring/amateurish in comparison.
Lang Lang is absolutely the best pianist in the world. He’s also the most popular, so all you haters can shut up and take your jealousy elsewhere.
I do agree that this piano looks terrible though.
