"Lang Lang is the world's most successful pianist, the hottest artist on
the classical music planet (The New York Times). He has an extraordinary
ability to connect with audiences on a deeply personal level, transcending the classical music world and achieving a level of popularity rarely realized by concert musicians. His talent and personality make him an ideal ambassador for classical music and a role model for young people. Nominated for a GRAMMY®Award for his Billboard chart-topping
recording of Beethoven's Piano Concertos 1 and 4, Lang Lang's visibility
will be at an all-time high, thanks to a live television appearance during
the 50th GRAMMY® Awards on February 10, and an unprecedented
performance on NBC s Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular, airing on
NBC February 9. For the millions of viewers who will be exposed to
Lang Lang, The Magic of Lang Lang is the recording to have, an ideal
souvenir of Lang Lang's signature tunes, beautiful classical works and
traditional Chinese folk melodies. Remaining firmly fixed on radar screens throughout the year, Lang Lang is the musical ambassador for China and the Olympics. In May he will embark on a worldwide Olympic tour performing in 10 cities that have hosted the Olympics. In August he will co-host the Olympic games on NBC, transmitting onto hundreds of millions of television screens around the globe."
