Lang Lang in Paris

Works by Fauré, Schumann and Chopin are at the centre of Lang Lang’s recital from the Philharmonie de Paris.

“Hats off, gentlemen, a genius!” Schumann’s famous words heralding Frederic Chopin have gone down in history, and the two composers jointly launched a revolution piano music in the early Romantic era. And works by both men is at the centre of Lang Lang’s recital from the Philharmonie de Paris: Schumann’s fantastical Kreisleriana, and Mazurkas and a Polonaise by Chopin, in which he distilled the spirit of Poland into music at once haunting, deeply moving and – in the case of the Polonaise – thrillingly rousing. Opening with the original piano version of Fauré’s beautiful Pavane, this programme promises to be a superb showcase of Lang Lang’s passion, virtuosity and sensitivity.
