World-famous Chinese pianist Lang Lang had barely celebrated his 21st birthday at the time of his 2003 Carnegie Hall debut recital.
The young pianist from Shenyang, China first gained international attention for his performance of a Tchaikovsky piano concerto at the Ravinia Festival gala in 1999, when he replaced soloist Andre Watts at the last minute. With a flamboyant style and virtuosic technique, Lang Lang's early performances quickly rocketed him to the top, and while his showmanship has sometimes led to mixed critical reception, he has since risen above those early antics to become a confirmed darling of the international classical music world.
