This is a dazzling recital, taped live at Carnegie Hall in November 2003-complete with applause. Lang Lang’s virtuosity is almost frightening: the Liszt “Reminiscenses du Don Juan” is a showpiece when played “normally.” Here, Lang plays it to its extremes, with soft passages amazingly soft and subtly delineated and the bigger moments heaven-thundering. And it is played so fast, and so accurately (a cascade of notes in mid-“La ci darem la mano” sounds like a waterfall), that it leaves the listener breathless-surely just what Liszt wanted. In a Haydn sonata, Lang’s classical line is impeccable, but he’s not afraid to shine through the music and embellish occasionally. The Schumann “Traumerei” is suitably dreamy and hushed; Schubert’s “Wanderer” Fantasy, a real crowd-pleaser, is just that-beautifully played, familiar yet fresh sounding. And an encore, with Lang’s father playing a two-string fiddle called the erhu, is a fascinating look into Eastern music. There’s more (this is a 2-CD set), and it’s stunning-and highly recommended for all admirers of great piano playing. -Robert Levine
