Description
A review from the New York Times: He began with the Abegg Variations of Schumann, one of those youthful works in which Mr. Lang can exult, youthfully. His playing was dreamy, and then, at fast tempos, full of glee. He exuded a ton pf personality. And, admirably, he always brought out the melody, even amid the business of virtuosity. Mr. Langs sense of fun in music is hard to resist . . . the young mans Schumann was deeply pleasurable . . . Mr. Langs Haydn was very Romantic heavily pedaled, free with tempo, and extreme in dynamics but it was graceful and musical. To complete the first half of the recital was the Wanderer fantasy of Schubert. Mr. Lang tore into it like a lion into meat. This is a work of sweep and power, and Mr. Lang has those. Plus, he evidenced musical insight, going beyond the athleticism and exurberance now expected of him . . .
