that not only is Lang Lang Chinese, so is much of his audience and some of the most popular pieces in his repertoire. I've not been there, but from what I've read, heard and seen, it is a very different culture, with very different tastes in music, even in how Western or Western-influenced music should sound.
It may be too simplistic to evaluate Lang Lang solely based on European traditions and values most of us take as given.
