Description: Considered by the New York Times as the hottest artist on the classical music planet, 26-year-old Lang Lang has played sold out recitals and concerts in every major city in the world and is the first Chinese pianist to be engaged by the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic and all the top American orchestras. Embodying a rare combination of exceptional skill and natural charisma, Lang Lang is a genuine musical legend in the making. Taking first prize at age 13 at the Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians' Competition, his breakthrough performance occurred when he replaced an indisposed André Watts at the Ravinia Festival's Gala of the Century, and left both audiences and critics in awe. Lang Lang has since progressed from one triumphant appearance to the next.
