You are too kind, Bill Way. Lang Lang is a creation of DG and is a banger. I've heard him a few times in the radio, not knowing who was playing, and each time was struck by the lack of color, sensitivity and musicality of his playing.

I know - he's got it all, but there is something about his playing and how I hear music that just doesn't connect. I've heard his recordings, and heard him play two recitals; it just doesn't work for me. Aren't you glad I'm not a critic?

Lang Lang is hardly a creation of DG. And while he does have his moments of being a "banger" it is hardly something he does consistently. Frankly many beloved and critically acclaimed established old guard pianists were far more guilty of being bangers. But if you are old (or better yet dead) white and European or even better Russian then that banging is genius.
Agreed. I didn't mean to objectify my opinion or taste:)
A number of so called greats leave me cold. I can take or (mostly) leave Pollini and certainly go without Brendel. One man's meat...
Was driving along, turned on the radio and heard this completely amateurish performance of Kinderszenen - it turned out to be Bang Bang!
BUT, as I mentioned in a previous post, the guy does have his moments sometimes.
