PIANO BOOK 2 Lang Lang

Piano Book 2

“I hope this collection helps you discover new favourites, reconnect with familiar melodies, and find renewed inspiration at the piano.” (Lang Lang)    

&ldquo;I hope this collection helps you discover new favourites, reconnect with familiar melodies, and find renewed inspiration at the piano.&rdquo; (Lang Lang)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Six years after the release of his celebrated Piano Book album, Lang Lang returns with Piano Book 2. This new volume of short and accessible piano works offers a fresh selection that ranges from iconic classical compositions and contemporary pieces to music from TV, film, and gaming soundtracks.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Lang Lang refers to the 32 tracks on his new album as &ldquo;miniature masterpieces&rdquo;. They were carefully selected based on messages from fans, school syllabus content, and his own teaching experience &ndash; as well as works especially close to his heart &ndash; with subtle nods to modern media and streaming culture.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The album is released digitally, on CD and on vinyl.&nbsp;

Six years after the release of his celebrated Piano Book album, Lang Lang returns with Piano Book 2. Set to be released on digital and physical formats on 17 October 2025 via Deutsche Grammophon, this new volume of short and accessible piano works offers a fresh selection that ranges from iconic classical compositions and contemporary pieces to music from TV, film, and gaming soundtracks. Liszt&rsquo;s Consolation No.&nbsp;2 is the first track from the album to be released, out on 5 September and available to stream/download on all platforms.
Lang Lang&rsquo;s Piano Book has become his highest-streaming album to date, surpassing one billion streams worldwide, and remains one of the biggest-selling classical albums from 2019. It went platinum in China, charted in the Top&nbsp;10 in the German pop charts, and peaked at No.&nbsp;1 in the classical charts across the US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, and Australia.
The release of Piano Book 2 is further proof of Lang Lang&rsquo;s commitment to inspire pianists of all ages, levels and backgrounds, amplifying the message that classical music is for everyone. It continues the vision established by Piano Book, his efforts led by the Lang Lang International Music Foundation (LLIMF), and his engagement with the millions of fans who follow him on social media. The so-called &ldquo;Lang Lang effect&rdquo; has already encouraged tens of millions of children in China and beyond to learn the piano and other instruments, supported by the LLIMF&rsquo;s unique educational programmes, masterclasses, mentoring schemes, and additional initiatives.
Lang Lang refers to the 32 tracks on his new album as &ldquo;miniature masterpieces&rdquo;. They were carefully selected based on messages from fans, school syllabus content, and his own teaching experience &ndash; as well as works especially close to his heart &ndash; with subtle nods to modern media and streaming culture.
Famous works by Bach, Mozart, Satie, Debussy &amp; co. sit alongside new arrangements of themes from the anime TV series Naruto, films La La Land, Am&eacute;lie, and Cinema Paradiso, and the video game Black Myth: Wukong. Aware that gaming is a key source of inspiration for younger listeners, composers, and performers today, Lang Lang also plays excerpts from Nobuo Uematsu&rsquo;s score for Final Fantasy X and Yu-Peng Chen&rsquo;s Genshin Impact soundtrack.
His program also embraces internet-born favorites: Andrew Wrangell&rsquo;s Rush&nbsp;E and Tony Ann&rsquo;s Icarus, which he and the composer perform in a brand-new four-hands version created by Ann for Piano Book&nbsp;2.
Other tracks in this wide-ranging mix include jazz standard I&rsquo;m Confessin&rsquo;, popularised by Thelonious Monk, and numbers from two of today&rsquo;s best-known pianist-composers, Joe Hisaishi (Spring) and Ludovico Einaudi (Fly).
There is something for everyone in Lang Lang&rsquo;s latest thoughtfully curated anthology. He concludes a message to his fans by saying, &ldquo;I hope this collection helps you discover new favourites, reconnect with familiar melodies, and&nbsp;find renewed inspiration at the piano.&rdquo;
Piano Book 2 will be available digitally and on 2 CD and 2 LP formats, including a marbled vinyl edition and CD/LP versions with signed art cards <a href="https://store.deutschegrammophon.com/">available from the DG Store</a>. A limited-edition CD offers access to downloadable sheet music and select tutorials via an NFC chip. Additionally, Faber Music will release a publication to accompany the album, featuring the piano sheet music, photographs and commentary about the music from Lang Lang himself.
Lang Lang starts the 2025-26 season with tour dates in Canada/the USA (19-29&nbsp;September &amp; 4/7&nbsp;December), the UK (3-10&nbsp;October), Germany (13&nbsp;October-8&nbsp;November), France (11&nbsp;November) and Hong Kong (11/13&nbsp;December) &ndash; full details <a href="https://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/artists/langlang/on-tour">here</a>.
