Here's something you might be interested in.
Lang Lang is coming to town for the start of the 2012-2013 San Diego Symphony Season. We may wonder who is this Lang Lang.
Lang Lang is a pianist.
Some have called him the most gifted keyboardist in his generation. Others have called him the "J. Lo" of the piano.
Some have said his flair as a musician appeals to a broad range of concert goers. Some have said his rhythms are mushy and his phrasing is heavy.
Some recall that his name, Lang Lang, means "brilliance of the sky". Some have nicknamed him "Bang Bang" and recall his concerts being ponderous.
Who is right? Who knows? If you find yourself in Symphony Hall this weekend, you can form your own opinion.
The first concert of the season is Friday night at 8:00 pm. The program includes Beethoven’s Fidelio Overture and Piano Concerto No. 5 along with Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.
