Chinese piano wizard Lang Lang says he brings music back to life. And if sponsorships help his reincarnations reach a younger, hipper audience, he's all for them.
Pianist Lang Lang said, "It's a very special moment that I try first to connect to the music and be as the bridge between the music which already exists and the piano, and to bring this music again from underground to reality. Every time you play a piece it's like you bring a life, a new life, and when the last note finishes it's disappeared."
The rags-to-riches figure that is Lang, perhaps the best known young pianist on the international stage today was in London for a 12-day marathon event.
