Last Saturday, I attended to a concert that I never forget forever. When I purchased tickets for 06-07 season of Carnegie Hall, this concert was one of the highest priority one as it's combination of Vienna Phil, Barenboim, Lang Lang and Bartok.
Although the only piece I've already heard was Piano Concerto No. 2 performed by Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Claudio Abaddo and Maurizio Pollini, I practiced Bartok's piano scores and loved his music, so I couldn't wait this concert.
Lang Lang showed an aggressive and lunatic performance while the orchestra backed him up with a feminine and soft move. I love Pollini but Lang Lang's insane as well as powerful play was better for my taste. I would like to say that Lang Lang is a must-see pianist at present.
The first Encores of the day was played by Lang Lang and Barenboim who is also a famous pianist. It might be a good way to show respect to a master, but I wanted for Lang Lang's short piece instead. The last Encores was also somewhat disappointed because of very strange formation of the previous piece of music. I'm looking forward to see a NYT's music review.
I am so happy with the memory of the day. I'm living in a fantasy of the day so I couldn't get started with my work.
