The live version is very spontaneous, whereas in the studio version my playing is different – very considered and reflective. In a concert situation you experience the 100-minute work as a whole. In the studio you can focus on individual details and nuances, and of course that can affect the musical experience quite substantially.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Lang Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54671930261788,"sku":"4819701","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0513\/4108\/files\/lang-lang-bach-goldberg-variations-deluxe-edition-4cd.jpg?v=1791440998","url":"https:\/\/shop.umusic.com.au\/products\/lang-lang-bach-goldberg-variations-deluxe-edition-4cd","provider":"uMusic Shop Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
