@Lll,Lang-Lang,Franz-Welser-Most

Virtuosity was abundantly on display Thursday at Severance Music Center, not only in the persona of pianist Lang Lang, but also in the music and orchestrations of 19th-century French composers Camille Saint-Saëns and Hector Berlioz — as well as in performances by their modern interpreters, Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra.

Updated: May. 03, 2024, 10:54 a.m.Lang Lang will play Saint Saens with the Cleveland Orchestra in performances May 2 and May 4.

In general use since the mid-18th century and meaning “a person with great skill, one who is a master of the mechanical part of a fine art,” the termonly begins to describe Lang Lang. In addition to his skills on the keyboard, he’s the classical equivalent of a rock star, capable of drawing sold-out crowds to his performances, as he did in Cleveland on Thursday. And worthy of both a private audience with the Pope and — just last month — a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
