Lang Lang

Lang Lang just turned 26. He's an amazing classical pianist and kind of a nut. What kind of nut? You decide...

According to Wikipedia, "Lang Lang was two years old when he saw Tom playing piano in "The Cat Concerto," a Tom and Jerry cartoon on TV (Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor composed by Franz Liszt). According to Lang Lang, this first contact with Western music was what motivated him to learn the piano."

He is both loved and hated, with some critics calling him "Bang Bang." No matter, he is an exciting and captivating artist, one that breaks the rules and has fun. I love Lang Lang!
