Lang Lang, Piano

Worldwide audience favorite Lang Lang returns to the recital stage for his third and final concert of the Carnegie Hall season. He performs a generous selection of works by Chopin—including a dozen of the composer’s distinctive mazurka that span the majority of Chopin’s career; and the briskly defiant Polonaise in F-sharp Minor, Op. 44. Great musical drama is also found in Robert Schumann’s volatile, many-faceted Kreisleriana—an eight-movement work the composer once called his favorite. The recital begins with the original, solo-piano version of Fauré’s enduringly popular Pavane in F-sharp Minor, Op. 50.
