Do or Die: Lang Lang's Story

00:01:35 Both of my parents had their musical dream.

00:05:05 And to be such a joyous performer, and a very joyous person, I think.

00:10:31 People are very suspicious of outward glamour. People think

00:14:44 but then I realised it is not a game

00:17:43 Love and hate!

00:20:35 Not loud, intimate. Try it one more time.

00:25:17 She's not upset, she's not very happy about herself.

00:30:25 But then, they put all their hope on their child.

00:35:00 Kind of boring stuff, you know, the scales.

00:39:27 and what your insights are, and how you really explore that music.

00:45:22 APPLAUSE

00:48:36 Very painful when I think about it because it's helpless

00:51:48 there's an old guard still alive, and still active

00:55:32 but I still remember that night before the competition.

00:58:45 He knows how to become a professional performer, not just a pianist

01:02:12 From my point of view, it wasn't important at all.

01:05:18 HE PLAYS THE PIANO

01:07:41 he's just not very relaxed, he's, in a way, quite aggressive.

01:10:27 I believe that music will change people.

01:13:26 What's been interesting to see in more recent years is

01:15:50 for a platform for him to go and play to a wider public.

01:18:35 And I would like to dedicate this piece to all of you.
