"Performing the piano concerto always evokes an immense response. It has been a companion throughout my life, like a dear friend accompanying me across the globe," Lang says.
He hopes that this music, while embodying the Chinese spirit, reaches wider global audiences to foster understanding of China and its unique cultural charm through melody.
Conducting this monumental performance is Li Xincao, president of the China Conservatory of Music. "Though I've conducted these pieces countless times, performing at the roaring Hukou Waterfall on this significant 80th anniversary is a first in my artistic career. It's profoundly meaningful and unforgettable."
Building on this resonance, the orchestra performed at the magnificent setting in early July and this month. It is the third consecutive year that such a concert is held at the waterfall.
