AllMusic Review by Patsy Morita

This Deutsche Grammophon deluxe box set includes the 11 original albums made by Lang Lang, in studio and live in recital, a bonus disc of music -- with guest artists such as Plácido Domingo and Andrea Bocelli -- a paperback book containing a biography and the original liner notes, plus enhanced CD links to bonus video and audio material. It's meant for true fans of the musician, more than fans of the music. It would be especially appropriate for someone who has been enraptured by seeing him perform, but doesn't yet own any recordings.
