Pianist Lang Lang released his latest album, Lang Lang in Paris, at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing recently.
Recorded in Paris, the new album features the pianist performing Chopin's four Scheriz and Tchaikovsky's Seasons, 12 works commissioned by a Russian music magazine in 1875.
The pianist staged a special recital at the Versailles' Hall of Mirrors, and the performance was released on DVD to accompany the new album.
At a press conference, the 33-year-old pianist said that Tchaikovsky had featured prominently in his career, most notably in his international breakthrough at age 17 performing Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto at Ravinia's Gala of the Century with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and his 2012 release of The Chopin Album, which is one of his most successful albums to date.
The pianist also announced that he will launch a tour from December when he will perform in Guangzhou, Taipei, Hangzhou and Wuhan.
He will perform in Beijing on Jan 3.
