To those who don't play piano it might seem an over emotional performance, but as a low level wizard watching this grand master wizard perform so well, i can only imagine he's seeing pulsing color and imagery with his eyes closed. Incredible performance.

I love the fact that he makes "odd faces" because it means that he's getting lost in the music, you can tell he loves playing, and expressing himself through his talent.

I've said this before: if those facial expression were genuine, there would often be tears - I mean I sometimes tear up when I hear the epic Beethoven, etc. But since these virts don't, then I say it's just show business. If you are lost, your expression is bliss. You don't see mothers acting out when holding their newborns. And even if these expression are real, even with no tears, then I say the artist, being a conduit from The Creative to the music is "leaking" - some of that "creative" intended for the music has leaked out in the form of body expression. It's an energy argument - I'm an engineer.

I have always been sceptical of Lang Lang but to me this is utterly beautiful. So many pianist see the music as a way to demonstrate their virtuosic skill but he takes this so slowly that you can feel the effect of each beautiful chord and he combines it with such musical passion and emotion. One of the only pianists to do 'impressionism' justice.

Guys, stop making fun of how he plays the piano. IMO, THAT'S how you truly enjoy music: when your whole body flows with the song, and you're just taken away by the music. And I think that that makes a song sound that much better. The more emotion and soul that is put into a song, the better it sounds. So I suggest you all shut up about it and enjoy the musical artistry.

I dont want to hate but i think you should get your facto right. Debussy didnt Write this Piece like that. Lang lang is going faster at some parts and slower at others than what was written. He is not on time, but that's okay because it's his interpretation. Debussy wrote freely for the speed, so the pianist interprets it individually however he wants to. So he isn't playing exactly like Debussy wrote it or on time and he shouldn't be.
