Called "The hottest artist on the classical musical planet" by the New York Times, Lang Lang is one of the most popular classical pianists playing today. He was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the world and was one of the headliners at the iTunes Festival in July 2011. His dazzling technique is matched by serious thought about the pieces he plays, and his Performance of "Siegfried Idyll," by Richard Wagner on this soundtrack, is nothing short of brilliant.
