‘Hearing Murray Perahia, András Schiff or Angela Hewitt in Bach’s Goldberg Variations is akin to absorbing a substantial literary work. Lang Lang, however, offers the musical equivalent of a cinematic epic directed by Robert Altman or Steven Spielberg … Although fans of the aforementioned pianists may take issue with Lang Lang’s affettuoso temperament, the consistency of his interpretative vision and his ability to carry it out with conviction and authenticity add up to an entertaining and fulfilling listening experience.’ – Gramophone
