In all, there is over 130 minutes of music to enjoy on these two discs, played with clarity and conviction by Lang Lang who displays great versatility in performing such a wide-ranging repertoire. I recommend this release . . . I encourage you to sample Lang Lang's variety of colour and texture, and ability to convey depth and range of emotion.
