Listen to Lang Lang and then listen to the great Artur Rubinstein playing the same pieces with the Chicago Symphony conducted by Fritz Reiner. Listening to Rubinstein's transcendent playing one is deeply moved, while when listening to Lang Lang one hears the pianist playing mere notes however competently. In the Rubinstein recording the pianist and orchestra dance together, in the Lang Lang recording they may as well have been playing at different times in different places. Hard to believe Lang Lang is a star after listening to this.
