Lang Lang: Favourite Melodies

Prepare to embark on a memorable and deeply personal musical voyage with the inimitable Lang Lang, who takes us on a tour of the melodies that have marked him on his artistic journey, from Debussy to Disney. Over the course of this Parisian escapade, Lang Lang opens up about what these pieces means to him—and performs them in a variety of stunning locales, including a nighttime riverboat cruise on the Seine in view of the Eiffel Tower!

Accompanied by the pianist's touching recollections, these inspiring melodies run the gamut from classical pieces like Bach's Prelude in C Major and Debussy's Clair de lune to beloved tunes from Disney's The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast. As well as shining a new light on works well-known to Western audiences, Lang Lang also puts his own delicate spin on a gorgeous traditional Chinese melody, Jasmine Flower, conjuring up fond memories of childhood, when his father would play folk tunes like this one on the erhu.
