Notable Quotes

❝ Lang is a pianist who fascinated me at his debut with his "enchanting" abilities, a bit like the fabled "Pied Piper of Hamelin," the flexibility and ductility of a body capable of playing WITH the music, set in vibration by it and able to respond with graceful and harmonious movements.
