"Lang Lang Puts a Shine On the 'Rach Three'": The Washington Post
"Lang Lang is a phenomenon, no doubt about it. This young pianist, barely into his twenties, has captured wide public attention with the brilliance and energy of his playing."

“Lang Lang is a marvel, his ease of virtuosity astonishing, his stage presence magnetic.”

“He can play the instrument brilliantly. He can be fast, precise and well accomplished. What is interesting is that I see that his approach is very thorough. He’s not in a rush. He’s there to feel that the composer wants the artist to take time to enjoy the piece.”
Valery Gergiev about Lang Lang
