Lang Lang: Complete Recordings 2000 - 2009

"Lang Lang - Complete Recordings 2000-2009" brings together the treasure trove of recordings that present all facets of Lang Lang's first decade as a pianist, including his solo and concerto debut albums on the Telarc label.

Collected on 12 CDs is everything this charismatic piano superstar recorded from 2000 to 2009: 5 CDs with the greatest piano concertos (Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Mendelssohn and others), 4 CDs with solo works (Mozart, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt and others), 1 CD with chamber music (Tchaikovsky) and 2 CDs with a mixed programme.

This edition is based on a long out-of-print deluxe edition but is now presented in a modern cap box with a 44-page booklet. A fascinating overview of Lang Lang's first highlights and acclaimed recordings.
