Chinese superstar Lang Lang will appear on the cover of issue 117 of Pianist, out on 20 November.
In an exclusive interview, he talks to editor Erica Worth about married life with wife Gina Alice Redlinger, maturing in his career and what Bach’s Goldberg Variations have taught him about life.
Lang Lang is set to appear on the cover of issue 117 of Pianist
Earlier this year, Lang Lang performed the Goldberg Variations at the famous St Thomas Church in Leipzing, Germany – famously the church in which Bach is buried. On Bach, he comments to Deutsche Grammophon: "The more time I spent with the Goldberg Variations, the more I wanted to know about Bach, his contemporaries and the composers he later inspired."
