quote:
China's love for classical music can often be naive. There's a joke I like to tell about a group of record producers who greeted the pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy in their boardroom to discuss a new recording of Chopin's waltzes. The producers sat silently until Ashkenazy asked they should begin the meeting. "Shouldn't we wait for the composer?" one of them asked... Somebody also asked me whether Elise plays better than Beethoven

This is very funny Teo

Thank you.

I have Lang Lang's book, and quite a few of his CD's. I truly admire him.
I have seen him in concert and love his playing. He gets so very animated and really emotionally involved with the music that he is playing.

There are so many talented Asian musicians at the moment, and I am sure that we will see many more in the next few years.

Love,
yoko
