Their latest collaboration, to be premiered by the New York Philharmonic and Leonard Slatkin on 9 April, is a piano concerto described by Lang Lang as “very melodic, very rhythmic, and very dramatic.” Given the power of this new work, Lang Lang is certain the concerto will appeal to a large audience, particularly, as this 25 year-old virtuoso puts it, “to the younger generation.”
