If one word applies to Lang Lang, to the musician, to the man, to his worldview, to those who come into contact with him, it is “inspiration”. It resounds like a musical motif through his life and career. He inspires millions with his open-hearted, emotive playing, whether it be in intimate recitals or on the grandest of stages – such as the 2014 World Cup concert in Rio, with Placido Domingo, to celebrate the final game; the 56th and 57th GRAMMY Award two years in a row, where he performed with Metallica and Pharrell Williams; the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where more than four billion people around the world viewed his performance; the Last Night of the Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall, or the Liszt 200th birthday concert with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Charles Dutoit which was broadcast live in more than 300 movie theatres around the United States and 200 cinemas across Europe (the first classical music cinema cast to be headlined by a solo artist). He forms enduring musical partnerships with the world’s greatest artists, from conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Gustavo Dudamel and Sir Simon Rattle, to artists from outside of classical music – among them dubstep dancer Marquese “nonstop” Scott, king of the crooners Julio Inglesias and jazz titan Herbie Hancock. He even builds relationships with corporations who will help him get classical music to ever-more people – And he builds cultural bridges between East and West, frequently introducing Chinese music to Western audiences, and vice versa.

Lang Lang has been featured on every major TV network and in magazines worldwide. He has performed for international dignitaries including the Secretary-General of the U.N. Ban Ki-moon, four US presidents, President Koehler of Germany, former French President Sarkozy and President Francois Hollande. Of many landmark events, he was honoured to perform for President Obama and former President Hu Jin-Tao of China at the White House State Dinner, the Diamond Jubilee celebratory concert for Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, the 70th Anniversary celebration of the United Nations, and the 500th Anniversary of the founding of the City of Havana in Cuba.
Honours include being added as one of the World Economic Forum’s 250 Young Global Leaders, Honorary Doctorates from the Royal College of Music, Manhattan School of Music and New York University, Birmingham City University and China Central Conservatory (first in the school’s 75 year history), the highest prize awarded by China’s Ministry of Culture, Germany’s Order of Merit and France’s Medal of the Order of Arts and Letters, and the first ever Ambassador of the Château de Versailles in Paris.
Yet he never forgets what first inspired, and continues to inspire him. Great artists, above all the great composers – Liszt, Chopin and the others – whose music he now delights in bringing to others. Even that famous old Tom and Jerry cartoon “The Cat Concerto” which introduced him, as a child, to the music of Liszt – and that childlike excitement at the discovery of music now surely stays with him and propels him to what he calls “his second career”, bringing music into the lives of children around the world, both through his work for the United Nations as a Messenger of Peace focusing on global education and through his own Lang Lang International Music Foundation. As he inspires, he is inspired.
Time Magazine named Lang Lang in the “Time 100”, citing him as a symbol of the youth of China, and its future. Lang Lang is cultural ambassador for Shenzhen and Shenyang. And if the Chinese passion for piano isn’t solely due to him, he has played no small part as a role model – a phenomenon coined by The Today Show as "the Lang Lang effect”. Steinway Pianos for the first time named a model after a single artist when they introduced “The Lang Lang Piano” to China, specially designed for education.
And the child Lang Lang was and who, perhaps, is always with him, would surely have approved of the way he gives back to youth. He mentors prodigies, convenes 100 piano students at a time in concert, and dedicated his Lang Lang International Music Foundation to cultivating tomorrow’s top pianists, music education at the forefront of technology, and building a young audience.

PROGRAM Lang Lang 3
4 PROGRAM Lang Lang
Pictures at an Exhibition begins with the Promenade, an introduction in a varying 5/4 and 6/4 metre, meant to represent the composer himself wandering around looking at the paintings.
Gnome is inspired by Hartmann’s design for a small gnome-shaped nutcracker.
The Old Castle is based on a watercolour of a troubadour singing before a medieval castle.
The third Promenade has a fuller orchestration, in response to the thicker chords of Mussorgsky’s original.
Ravel opts predominantly for winds in Tuileries, based on Hartmann’s watercolour of one corner of the famous French garden.
Bydlo, Polish for ‘cattle’, refers to a drawing of two oxen pulling a heavy cart. Ravel’s Bydlo begins as a distant forlorn tuba solo which builds with the addition of other instruments before returning to solo tuba – as if the cart has passed on its way.
Ballet of the Unhatched Chickens is based on costume designs for the ballet Trilby. The dancers’ legs stick out from the shells. Ravel’s clacking winds conjure the image of farmyard activity.
‘Samuel’ Goldenburg and ‘Schmuÿle’ is often presented with Stasov’s sanitised title: Two Jews – One Rich, the other Poor, but, according to Richard Taruskin, Mussorgsky’s intention was definitely unflattering, which is backed up by the fact that no Hartmann picture by that name exists. The stuttering muted trumpet solo here is often used as an orchestral audition piece.
Ravel removed a Promenade which originally occurred between ‘Samuel’ Goldenberg and ‘Schmuÿle’ and Limoges Market. Certainly, Mussorgsky wanted the listener to keep in mind the observer’s changing perspective, but Ravel acknowledged that an audience isn’t in need of such a literal account.

Catacombs – Roman sepulchres

The Hut on Hen’s Legs – Baba-Yaga
The Great Gate of Kiev
Mussorgsky wrote Pictures at an Exhibition as a memorial to the artist Victor Hartmann, who had died prematurely of a heart attack in 1873. In 1874, critic Vladimir Stasov mounted an exhibition of Hartmann’s works – paintings, drawings, designs and jewellery – and it was this which inspired Mussorgsky to produce what became the piano work Pictures at an Exhibition, a set of ‘tone-portraits’ based on a selection of Hartmann’s works.
There have been various orchestrations of Pictures over the years (Rimsky-Korsakov, Stokowski, and Vladimir Ashkenazy are among those who have tried their hands), indicating the essentially orchestral nature of Mussorgsky’s pianism. The most famous orchestration, however, is that of Maurice Ravel in 1922.
PROGRAM NOTES
PROGRAM Lang Lang 5
In Catacombs Hartmann painted himself, the architect Kenel and a guide with a lantern exploring the Paris catacombs. The orchestration is almost brutally simple with stark – though expertly voiced – brass chords.
Catacombs moves into Con mortuis in lingua mortua. We hear a variation of the Promenade theme, with oboes playing against sepulchral-sounding high string tremolos. Mussorgsky wrote on the piano score: ‘Hartmann’s creative spirit leads me to the place of skulls and calls to them – the skulls begin to glow faintly from within’.
The Hut on Hen’s Legs refers to a Hartmann design for a clock face in the form of Baba-Yaga, the witch in Russian folk tales, who lives in a hut mounted on the legs of a giant fowl.
The Great Gate of Kiev, Hartmann’s architectural design for a commemorative structure, provides the inspiration for a massive blazing finale.

Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953)
Piano Concerto No.3 in C, Op.26 Lang Lang, Piano
Andante – Allegro
Andantino (with variations)
Allegro non troppo
Prokofiev was a virtuoso pianist, who made an authoritative recording of his own Third Concerto. One of his most successful concert works, the concerto shows the most typical aspects of his mature musical style in ideal balance: a mixture of rather Romantic passages with incisive, humorous, sometimes even grotesque episodes. This is obvious right at the start: the opening Andante melody for clarinet is lyrical, almost wistful, and Russian-sounding. But immediately the piano comes in, the music becomes very busy, incisive, almost icy. The lyricism of the opening will return in place of a ‘development’ section in the middle of the first movement.
Prokofiev conceived musical materials for his first three concertos in the years before he left Russia at the time of the 1917 Revolution. The first two concertos, in their driving rhythms and crunching discords, illustrate Prokofiev’s not altogether unwelcome casting as the enfant terrible of Russian music, and evoked a corresponding critical reaction (‘cats on a roof make better music,’ wrote one Russian critic of Concerto No.2). No.3, on the other hand, shows much more of the tunefulness and accessibility which it is wrong to regard as having entered Prokofiev’s music only after he returned to Russia in the early 1930s.
He began the Third Piano Concerto in Russia in 1917, completed it in France in 1921, and gave the premiere later that year in Chicago. Prokofiev’s own playing pioneered a new kind of piano virtuosity. A rewarding piece for any virtuoso, this concerto is formally clear and satisfying, full of memorable tunes harmonised and orchestrated with a peculiarly personal piquancy, and sufficiently of our time to be bracing and refreshing.

Carlos Miguel PrietoConductor
Widely celebrated as a rising star in the US and his native Mexico, Carlos Miguel Prieto’s charismatic conducting, characterised by its dynamism and the expressivity of his interpretations, has led to major engagements and popular acclaim throughout North America and in Europe. Prieto is in great demand as a guest conductor with many of the top North American orchestra including Boston, Cleveland, Dallas, Toronto and Houston Symphony orchestras and has a particularly close and successful relationship with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Prieto is recognised as the leading Mexican conductor of his generation and has been the Music Director of the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Mexico, the country’s most important orchestra, since 2007. The following year he was appointed Music Director of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería, a hand-picked orchestra which performs a two month long series of summer programs in Mexico City.
BIOGRAPHY
The second movement takes the form of a theme and set of five variations, the first of which is treated solo by the piano in what Prokofiev describes as ‘quasi-sentimental fashion’. Then the tempo changes to a furious Allegro, one of the abrupt contrasts in which the concerto abounds. After a quiet, meditative fourth variation, and an energetic fifth one, the theme returns on flutes and clarinets in its original form and at its old speed, while the piano continues at top speed but more quietly. This has been compared to a sprinter viewed from the window of a train.
Prokofiev’s own program note describes the finale as beginning with a staccato theme for bassoons and pizzicato strings, interrupted by the blustering entry of the piano:
The orchestra holds its own with the opening theme, however, and there is a good deal of argument, with frequent differences of opinion as regards key. Eventually the piano takes up the first theme and develops it to a climax. With a reduction of tone and slackening of tempo, an alternative theme is introduced in the woodwinds. The piano replies with a theme that is more in keeping with the caustic humour of the work.
The unabashedly Romantic ‘alternative theme’ is worked up to an emotional pitch that shows Prokofiev as having more in common with Rachmaninov than is usually suspected, and both as owing much to Tchaikovsky. Then the opening returns in a brilliant coda.

2014/15 marks Prieto’s ninth season as Music Director of the Louisiana Philharmonic where he has led the cultural renewal of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. In May 2013 ,Prieto’s contract was unani-mously extended to the 2018/19 season. The string of major international soloists such as Joshua Bell, Yo Yo Ma and Gil Shaham who now appear with the Louisiana Philharmonic are testament to his achievements with the orchestra.
His hugely successful debut with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra led to an immediate reinvitation in 2013 and a subsequent return is scheduled for 2015. Recent and future orchestral debuts include the NDR Radio Philharmonie Hannover at Rheingau Festival, NDR Sinfonieorchester, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Royal Scottish National, BBC Scottish Symphony, Bournemouth Symphony and Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo. In recent seasons Prieto has appeared regularly in Spain conducting orchestras such as the RTVE Orchestra – Orquesta Radio Television Espanola, Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa, Orquesta de Valencia and Orquesta del Principado de Asturias.
Since 2002, alongside Gustavo Dudamel, Prieto has conducted the Youth Orchestra of the Americas which draws young musicians from the entire American continent. A staunch proponent of music education, Prieto served as Principal Conductor of the YOA from its inception until 2011, when he was appointed Music Director. In early 2010, he conducted the YOA alongside Valery Gergiev on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the World Economic Forum at Carnegie Hall.
A naturally inquisitive musician of broad and varied interests, Prieto is renowned for championing Latin American music and has conducted over 100 world premieres of works by Mexican and American composers many of which were commissioned by him.
Prieto has an extensive discography that covers labels including Naxos and Sony. Recent recordings include works by Bruch, Beethoven and Mendelssohn, with violinist Philippe Quint and the Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería, on Avanticlassic, and Korngold’s Violin Concerto on Naxos, which received two Grammy nominations. In spring 2013, Prieto released a 12-DVD set of live recordings of the complete Symphonies of Gustav Mahler as part of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería 35th Anniversary season.
Also an accomplished violinist, Carlos Miguel Prieto has performed as soloist with the Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional de Mexico, and has participated in the music festivals of Aspen, Tanglewood, Interlochen, San Miguel Allende and Cervantino. Continuing a family tradition that reaches back four generations, he also has been a member of the Cuarteto Prieto, with which he has performed in the most important halls of Mexico, United States, and throughout Europe.
