Lang Lang’s ‘Chinese wife’ gets debut release on DG
NewsThe German pianist Gina Alice Redlinger, who married Lang Lang in June 2019, is celebrating her debut classical release.
Among other interview comments, she says: ‘I am a Chinese wife. When playing Chinese music, he will give me a lot of inspiration, explaining the history behind the music and how to better present the emotion of the music.’
The album appears to be available only in China at present.
You can listen to a sample here.
But does she do 40 hours of practice a day…?
The Ling-Ling references are beyond tiresome.
“And when playing non-Chinese music, I try to stay the hell away from his advice as far as possible.”
Wonder how she landed this gig….I’m sure it’s 100% her own talent and hard work…
“The album appears to be available only in China at present.”
I am thankful about this, even though saying it I will risk hurting the ever fragile feelings of the Chinese people.
I’d rather hear a recording of Wanda Toscanini playing the Cheese Drum than this CD.
This has to be the comment of the week!!
The poor Chinese people! This is commercial capitalist crap.
I found it slightly amusing that in the promotional video, the text “work for it” appears. Am I the only one who finds this funny?
No-I stick with you!
Lang Lang: a husband with benefits…
Well, maybe. Look at the other posting about him here on SD today.
I’d like to — where is it? I asked a question on it and when I went looking for it to see if anyone had offered an answer (this blog is monitored so rarely that discussion among participants is very difficult) it was gone.
Well well what do we have here.Being the wife of a famous pianist helps.She plays some Schumann from OP 15 on YT;I must say I like it.But no big deal-any one can play that piece.Wait and see!
she also has to make his breakfast. she is an angel.
Can’t wait to hear their 7 pianist children.
they may have a few dogs. no
children. like a lot of couples
today
That’s sure to be a lang, lang wait.
I wonder if Lang Lang now introduces himself, “I am a Chinese husband…”
Hahaha … or maybe, “I am a German husband.”
Who needs Van Cliburn, Arthur Rubinstein, Gina Bachauer, or even Queen Elisabeth if you can have…..Lang, Lang?
