None of the other Chinese classical musicians do what he does on stage. I think he's just a ham on stage. And the last time I saw him he had toned that down quite a bit. So I don't think it's a cultural thing. I think it's a Lang Lang thing.

He achieved real stardom with his young firebrand act, especially in China. As you say, we can expect him to tone that down a bit and go for a more dignified approach as he gets older. He's an intelligent guy, and you can't begrudge him some shrewd self-marketing. As I suspect you already know, not all classical musicians are bent on winning over the AA demographic, much less AA inmates themselves, or are even aware of the existence of AA.
I've mentioned some of the more "out there" posts here to musicians for humor value, but the reactions are typically amazement, bewilderment, and even annoyance.
Humor is a strange thing - especially on that series of tubes, popularly known as "the internet"!
(See, you'll only find that funny if you get my reference - and probably not even then!)
Right after I praised you as a reviewer, too! It does take a special sense of humor to appreciate some of the repartee here.
Alas, when I tried to turn my bewilderment and annoyance powers to their maximum, you responded with polite amusement, but others gently pointed out I was out of my depth. The best can do it without trying.
I look forward to your year-end reviews. Happy holidays.
