Lang Lang ready for table tennis
OK, so a lot of them are grainy, badly lit, or have atrocious sound, but the video posting web site You Tube has to date 19 - count 'em: 19! - video clips of pianist Lang Lang available for viewing. The clips range from 55 seconds to almost a half an hour and feature mostly performance footage, though the longest clip is of an interview from Chinese television (which I'm guessing is not available with your cable package, either). Lang Lang certainly has some fanatical fans: YouTube Lang Lang clips.
I also came across Lang Lang on this oddly wonderful non-commercial site dedicated to photos of celebrities playing table tennis. Other ping pong photos featured on the site include actor Alan Alda, musicans Daniel Barenboim, Luciano Pavarotti, Thelonious Monk and Bob Marley, architect Walter Gropius, Henry Kissinger, Bill and Hilary Clinton, and Mr. Ed. The photo of Lang Lang used above comes from this site.
Lang Lang returns to the Celebrity Series (un-grainy, with the impeccable acoustics of Symphony Hall and sans ping pong paddle) for a recital on Sunday, January 28.
