Lang Lang Plays Bach, Chopin and Schubert
Tuesday, May 29, 2012
The virtuoso pianist Lang Lang is famous for his flamboyant renditions of late-Romantic repertory. But for this performance he focuses on more introspective works, including Bach’s Partita No. 1 in B flat and Schubert’s Sonata in B flat (D. 960).
But for those listeners thirsting for some fireworks, have no fear: also on Lang's program are Chopin’s Études, Op. 25.
Listen to the complete archived performance above and view our archived chat below.
