Stereophile August 2007 Recording of the Month! Four stars for performance and sonics!

Lang Lang is backed by the Orchestre de Paris conducted by Christoph Eschenbach for these Concertos Nos. 1 & 4 by Beethoven.

Here is Lang Lang's first Beethoven recording, partnered by conductor-pianist Christoph Eschenbach, his mentor and ideal collaborator.

"...extraordinary intensity... It was as though this young musician had already digested everything about the composer and taken it to a new, transcendent level of understanding... A thrilling experience" - The Independent, London, reviewing Lang Lang in a live performance of Beethoven's Concerto No. 4.

"Lang Lang is a phenomenon, no doubt about it." - The Washington Post

"The more I listen to him, the more I'm convinced that Lang Lang was born to play Beethoven." - Christoph Eschenbach

"This new CD is Lang's first recorded brush with Beethoven, and it is a success...these are beautifully realized readings by a brilliant young pianist." - Robert Levine, Stereophile Magazine, August 2007
