Since any Lang Lang release spells a flood of gold in the Asian market, and almost as much in the West, his celebrity will make this new Liszt CD critic-proof. I've regretted the bashing he takes in the classical music press. Disdain is totally unwarranted for a sincere musician with enormous gifts. Mass adulation can lead to some bad tendencies, such as playing too many concerts and not paying enough attention to your own growth as an artist. Lang Lang is no doubt subject to these things, as the young Kissin was before him. Yet he has always seemed to me to be inward-looking while still possessing phenomenal technique.
