2 - Lang Lang – The Art of Being a Virtuoso

Chinese pianist Lang Lang is one of today's greatest classical music stars. As an amazing virtuoso, travelling musician und darling of the audiences he represents something like a 21st-century version of the great historical virtuoso and lounge lizard Franz Liszt. Award-winning filmmaker Thomas Grube shares deep insights into a modern virtuoso's life and into the mechanisms of how to fascinate millions of music lovers worldwide. Concert clips from the London "iTunes-Festival" -where Lang Lang was the first classical musician to enter the stage - are the virtuoso's hommage to Franz Liszt on the occasion of his 200 birthday.
