Dragon Songs - Lang Lang in China
Leaving his hometown at age 8 to start an international career, he had by age 23 earned a stellar reputation for his passionate interpretations of Western classical music. Since then, young pianist Lang Lang has not left the international stages. We witness this masterful pianist return to his roots during a concert tour in his homeland, China. The concert tour starts in Lang Lang's birth place Shenyang, where the pianist's parents comment on their sacrifices for their son's career. A highlight of the documentary is a performance with traditional Chinese instruments at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing.
