Lang Lang is egocentric despite his world experience, which I suppose is to be expected from a young celebrity who was sheltered (aka: forced to do nothing but practice piano) for most of his life. His story was beautiful and ugly, pleasurable and painful, short and yet oh so long. I feel for him and understand him better, and I definitely want to hear him play.
The profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart. -Ralph Waldo Emerson, Society and Solitude, 1870
