Review of Lang Lang: In his own words

Thoughtful producers provide two versions, one with a sweet scene – the pianist outside Carnegie Hall – one without. It’s just wonderful to hear this pianist talk -- he’s so excited -- and his playing is amazing. This is perfect to air around his extensive upcoming US tour, the producers offer the details. But as is the case with the others in this series, any time airing is fine. To hear these kind of pieces in the middle of the news day is like when the sun surprisingly breaks through on a solid gray afternoon. There's nothing like a little hit of art oxygen to refresh the soul. sl
