I'm here on stage at the Royal albert hall with the musical superstar, Lang Lang, who
-
has just played a concert and masterclass for over 5,000 mostly children, featuring
-
his two proteges from the foundation.
-
Lang Lang thank you so much for joining me today. Thank you it's such a pleasure
-
We just heard the concert which was incredible, mostly children out there, was it different
-
for you to play to such a different audience?
-
Today our aim is to inspire the next generation of music lovers and musicians and we were
-
so happy to have this Sunday matinee and we can have this incredible stage and to do it
-
together with two of the most incredible students from our foundation.
-
He's a brilliant pianist and he's taught me a lot of things on the piano and it really
-
helps me with my playing.
-
I think performing in front of so many people is really really a lot of fun and the duet
-
with Lang Lang was really really amazing.
-
No matter whether your professional or
-
not professional, music needs to give us the positive love and the positive soul and positive
-
emotion first and this is something that will make a huge difference when they start practice
-
they have a hope, they have a dream, they have love. Rather than depressed, bored & disappointed.
-
How difficult was it for you, coming from China, mastering the European composers?
-
For me learning music is like learning a culture and language. And the earlier you start you
-
are more used to this culture and for me, I started to play piano before I can actually
-
talk and so in a way I hear mozart the same time as listening to chinese music. And I
-
start to know Listz the same time as when Im watching Tom and Jerry and Transformers
-
and monkey king cartoons and so in a way this culture for me is also a part of me, inside
-
of my heart, so I never really felt difficult.
