A Prodigy, A Piano, Hardship, Stardom;
Dreams Comes True For
Lang Lang
The story of Lang Lang, the 21-year-old sensation in the world of the classical piano, begins with his parents and their obsessive dreams for him.
When his mother was pregnant, she listened to countless hours of Western classical music -- a rare practice in China -- hoping to transmit the rhythms to the fetus. Before he turned 2, his mother and father spent half of their yearly income to buy him a piano. His parents have lived apart since he was 9 to accommodate his career.
''I have wanted Lang Lang to go beyond the boundaries of Asia and enter the global stage as an artist since he was a little boy,'' said his father, Guoren Lang.
Now the dream of Lang Lang's parents has come true. He gave a solo performance in the opening night gala at the Mostly Mozart Festival in July. He has signed a five-year contract with Deutsche Grammophon, and his concert schedule is packed with 150 performances a year worldwide. Last year Teen People magazine named him one of the ''Top 20 Teens Who Will Change the World.'' He has appeared on ''Good Morning America'' and on ''Tonight'' with Jay Leno. His next concert in the United States is to be Sept. 11 with the Minnesota Orchestra in Minneapolis, playing Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 3.
Lang Lang's story, like that of many athletic and artistic prodigies, is emblematic of an entire generation of Chinese parents and their only children, and their high expectations and extreme sacrifices for those children.
‘He is stunning.’ The New York Times described Lang Lang, one of the youngest and famous pianists of our time, in a short and simple sentence.
“他是极具才能的。”《纽约时报》用了一句很简短而又简单的句子描述了我们这个时代最年轻最有名的钢琴家。
