Ep423 - Lang Lang | The Chopin Album

<p>Lang Lang visits Google to perform pieces from his new album, "The Chopin Album". This album includes the second set of Chopin's Études, the Andante spianato & Grande Polonaise, and a selection of shorter works that he has long enjoyed performing, including three Nocturnes and the Waltz op. 64 no. 1, popularly known as the "Minute" Waltz.</p> <p>Chopin has accompanied Lang Lang throughout his career. One of the first pieces he learnt was the Grande Valse brillante in E-flat major, and it was Chopin's music that also carried him through a number of career-changing competitions. And it was with the Chopin Études that Lang Lang made his now-renowned Beijing Concert Hall recital at age 14 -- a performance that led to his studying with Gary Graffman at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia.</p> <p>Originally published in October of  2012.</p> <p>Visit <a href="https://youtu.be/1d8xv1HHKtI?si=Ihof3huuJinIhKv5">http://youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle/</a> to watch the video.</p>
