 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
Deutsche Grammophon release a recording revealing another side of the pianist Lang Lang’s prodigious talent—his finesse as a collegial interpreter of chamber music. In this, his first chamber music recording, Lang Lang revisits two stellar exponents of Russia’s Romantic musical soul, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. Making the news of Lang Lang‘s first ever chamber music recording bigger is the fact that he is joined by two giants of the violin and cello: Vadim Repin and Mischa Maisky. Lang Lang could not be in better company to reveal the inexhaustible inventiveness of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio Op. 50 in A minor or the tender consolations of Rachmaninov’s Trio élégiaque in G-minor, a short early masterpiece composed before Rachmaninov was twenty.

Lang Lang’s rare forays into chamber music have been extolled by the press. The critic for the Sueddeutsche Zeitung described his concert experience as “almost like seeing a newborn Lang Lang.” Famous for his dynamic, impetuous, hair-raising virtuoso solo turns, Lang Lang unveils a fascinating facet of his musical make-up: He is a team player on the highest possible level.
