He was much more friendly about klang klang than I would have been

"Lang Lang is an abomination not only to classical music but to the arts as a whole. He represents everything that is wrong with today's popular culture and more, and should be left for vaudeville, not carnegie. I am rather happy Brahms didn't have to live through that blasphemous performance, because I'm afraid it would have distressed him even more greatly than the groundbreaking yet misunderstood premiere of the work."- Mahlon
