My mum used to play this so well he's the only other person I've heard play it with the emotion that my mum did. I think we will play this version at her funeral as she sadly passed away on the 31 July 2020💜

I disagree. Fur Elise is meant to be about agony, misery, despondency, and total hopelessness, mixed with short outbursts of fleeting joy. It's meant to be played forcefully.

My favourite quote about the great Lang Lang l found on the Classic FM website. It goes like this:- Aged 9 A music teacher said that he had no talent. Aged 31 Sold out the Royal Albert Hall in a few hours. In other words, don't give up. That's a great message to send to future generations.

As a child I would hear one of my sisters playing Fur Elise on our parlour piano. It always takes me back to those lost days, when it was getting dark outside, and my mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen. I hope I am listening to Lang Lang playing it before I enter eternity.
Sounds like Elise is so fragile, must love with extreme care.
He interpret this piece with near to perfect playing, no nonsense classical romantic style of playing, rich intonation but not too rich, no exaggeration, 95% marks for him.

When you play a classical piece, it must be interpret with strictness on how the piece is play at that point of time (CLASSICAL ERA). Not many interpret well, only a few like Vladimir Horowitz and Michiko Uchida interpret well. These two are the most versatile pianist.

It’s Lang Lang
He played with all his heart, his soul and his mind.
Perfectly gorgeous emmotional movement with just the perfect dynamics with reflective rubato for beautiful sonorous tones of sheer, listening of pearly delight!
It's so amazing that such an old piece can sound so fresh.
Wow! This is the most beautiful version that I’ve ever heard. I didn’t know that it could be played so movingly and sentimentally. I am sure Beethoven would love it and find it “just” for the reason he wrote the piece. And, I didn’t know Lang Lang can play without impressing the audience the dexterity of his fingers. Bravo👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love how he plays that first middle section after the familiar intro. Feels gentle and vital at the same time.
He is so amazing, and it seems like his hands are dancing on the piano
Woah wow! That's top level shit! Usually I can't even listen "fur Elise" after a bit... but this guy absolutely nailed it! From begging till the end!
This performance and Valentina Lisitsa’s both show how this piece is supposed to be played im much slower tempo then everyone else is playing. The piece sounds completely different in this tempo. Thank you for this amazing video!
it’s so good 😭
One of the best musicians of all times!!!
I love the way you play that! A very warm and emotional interpretation, not too fast, very light. Like an angel playing it... chapeaux!😄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
J’aime comme il interprète cette fameuse lettre à Élise chapeau 🎩 Monsieur lang Lang 👍
It is so nice to see how his playing matures so much since his younger years. Any professional can play La Campanella, but it’s when they play pieces simple like Fur Elise you know he’s becoming a master.

It's like he's massaging the keys and by his facial expression himself as well. Whatever works to get you into the piece I applaud. Sometimes, I play this piece naked, lathered in bacon grease. It really makes me feel prepared for anything if that makes sense.
Good to finally see him play slow. Melancholic.
Wonderful Lang makes love with his pianooo😁😁😁😁🎹🎹🎹 fantastic!!!
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses romantischen Meisterstücks im lyrischen Tempo mit anmütigem Anschlag und angenehmer Dynamik. Echt bewundernswert!
I can always see the finger is smooth when he play it
I always wanted to be a pianist and I keep trying to play it like that.
No se puede tocar con más sensibilidad, No tengo palabras para el maestro, sólo puedo decir que magistral interpretación de " FUR ELISE".
Played with love, feeling and warmth for the piece.
I thought it was an M-TV clip. Actually he is performing. Magic.
OMG I feel his every move.
A very simple but graceful interpretation of the piece, indeed!

Hi im ur first comment after a year😀
Security would've had to remove me I'd be bawling my eyes out in the front row. This was a song my mother would play when I was a kid. She passed when I was 12. I'm 34 just took up piano after years of guitar. I learned this song for my wife whose middle name is Elise. Sometimes my eyes well up when I am playing. The first month or so my sound was very mechanical, but for the last month or so I have been able to play with emotion and its crazy how it will overwhelm you.
Is this the best I have heard it played. Yes yes it is xxx
Finally a good (right tempo) version. Love it!
郎朗 演奏 鋼琴 給愛麗絲 一首名曲 非常好聽👍👍👍💕
It's always cute seeing my niece play this. But to hear it played by a prodigy of the instrument...wow!!
What a master. Such focus, precision to create amazing work.
Oh dear, why don't I sound like this, I know, I'm not Lang Lang ,. Still the Master , xxxxx
Lang Lang play's really good, cool that he feels the piece & expresses that.
He is amazing. His mastery of the music is a blessing and a gift.

This is my favorite work by Beethoven. Not only is it so beautiful, but it also helped me memorize the order of the planets from the sun in the solar system. In one particular episode of a tv show I watched when I was younger, a song is sung to the tune of this work that teaches the order of the planets from the sun, including Pluto even though it’s no longer a planet.
Of course Lang Lang has to go over the top. Here we have a most sublime piece, played by a master. He has to own it. His fingers knew this song 300 years before Beethoven wrote a note of it.
