Lang Lang has been described by The Times as 'a seriously gifted musician'. His teaming with Vadim Repin, 'one of today's most compelling musicians' (Daily Telegraph), and Mischa Maisky - whose playing style, in the words of the great cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, 'combines poetry and exquisite delicacy with great temperament and brilliant technique' - makes for dynamic and exciting results.
