INTRO:
The young Chinese pianist Lang Lang <LUNG LUNG> arrived on the world 
stage with a a dramatic flourish. 

One of the world's great pianists, Andre Watts,  was sick. He couldn't  make a 
scheduled performance with the Chicago Symphony.  Instead, the audience 
saw the late Isaac Stern walk onstage. He introduced a 17-year-old musician 
he promised they'd be hearing from in the future. This was Lang Lang.

Isaac Stern's words may have been an understatement. Now 21, Lang Lang 
has become the most heralded new classical pianist  in years. 

[His new CD <RELEASED MARCH 2> is a recording of his Carnegie Hall 
recital debut. ]

This is how Lang Lang describes his music ... in his own words ...

TAPE IN: "Hi everyone, we are now in New York City ..."
TAPE OUT: Ends with music. Last spoken words: "... always play with 
freshness."

OUTRO:

Pianist Lang Lang.  We heard from him as part of "Musicians in their own 
words," a series produced by David Schulman  and supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

[[Lang Lang will be performing live on DATE at the VENUE in CITY.
