52 pianos on one stage

Yesterday Chinese pianist Lang Lang performed with 100 young pianists playing on 52 Steinways at London’s Southbank Centre (read more about it on the Southbank Centre blog). And here’s a rather impressive image from the rehearsals of yesterday’s concert:

I’d love to mention that I know Lang Lang personally, but I don’t actually do. But as a matter of fact, my sister, who’s the manager at Southbank Centre and responsible for the whole of Lang Lang’s 4 concerts he played there last week, does. And according to her, he’s quite a pleasant chap!
