Lang Lang Piano Recital (Live, Paris 2025)

Lang Lang piano recital, recorded live in Paris on April 5, 2025.

“Hat off, gentlemen, a genius!” Robert Schumann’s famous tribute to Frédéric Chopin has become a classic quotation in music history. Together, these two composers helped launch a revolution in early Romantic piano music.

Lang Lang’s solo recital at the Philharmonie de Paris centers on their works: Schumann’s imaginative Kreisleriana, and Chopin’s Mazurkas and Polonaise, music deeply infused with the Polish national spirit—at times lyrical and introspective, at times powerful and impassioned.

The concert opens with Gabriel Fauré’s original piano version of Pavane, highlighting Lang Lang’s passion, virtuosity, and refined musical sensitivity. The encore program features additional works by Schumann, Chopin, Manuel de Falla, and a newly adapted live version of Jasmine Flower.
