lang lang...and one of my favorite concertos

This is Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 (1/7...and it something I love to listen to...for there is a story there...



Although his work is of the most romantic nature...his conflict with his sexuality...gave rise to something else...and his secret life...would remain for him a source of anguish...he would die in strange circumstance...he would live in letters over 14 years with a woman who was his benefactor...and friend...they never met...but in his music...you can hear the voice of the man...and his world...

Sometimes the world sees only what the composer creates...then...there are those of us...who find the internal world of the composer...far more revealing.

Enjoy Lang Lang...one of my favorites.

Love,
The Lass
