Lang Lang plays the iPad

Hi Teo,

Thank you for this funny post.
Both Lang Lang and you are funny

Nice music.

Thank you Teo.

I am suffering of a bit of jet-lag, so I have to agree with Inda, this post and Lang Lang at the moment look very funny.

I do enjoy his playing. I have been fortunate enough to see and hear him in concert.

Love,
yoko

Hahaha...

I have never seen LangLang in concert, playing the piano or the i-pad

Thank you Teo. It looks like LangLang is really having fun

I saw Lang Lang in concert a week ago, and he played Liszt's piano concerto 1 on a real piano, not the iPad.
This was a truly wonderful experience listening to him.
He has become even better since I last saw him.

I just heard Lang Lang in concert, and he was amazing.

Lang Lang began playing piano at the age of 3, and by the age of 5, he had won the Shenyang Competition and had given his first public recital. Entering Beijing Central Music Conservatory at age 9, he won first prize at the Tchakovsky International Young Musicians Competition and played the complete 24 Chopin Etudes at Beijing Concert Hall at age 13. Lang Lang's break into stardom came at age 17, when he was called upon for a dramatic last-minute substitution at the "Gala of the Century,"playing a Tchaikovsky concerto with the Chicago Symphony.
