Herbie Hancock Tickets

I went to the concert with my daughter. We spent a great time, enjoyed every single moment of that amazing concert.

The concert was amazing! LangLang showed great piano skills as a classic, romantic pianiest. Herbie Hancock played a jazz wonderful solo. Also they two were so passionate when playing together. The comcert was definitely worthy!

I expected musical exchange between classic piano and Jazz. Both, Herbie and Lang Lang deserve a better show

I was disappointed. I didn't expect to listen to an interminable and obscure opening number, which was more Philharmonic than Hancock. I felt like the first half of the show was a boring waste of time. I expected "Hancock jazz" with some accompaniment, not what we got. It struck me as odd that the conductor basically begged the audience for more applause after each number, as if we weren't applauding enough (I think my disappointment was a shared experience, based on discussions overheard during intermission and afterward.

I've enjoyed crossover collaborations in the past (Menuhin/Shankar, Von Otter/Costello, etc.) but Lang Lang and Herbie Hancock aren't a compelling pairing. Hancock isn't a very accomplished acoustic pianist, and the musical conception doesn't create a fertile meeting ground with the technically amazing (but maybe not very substantive) Lang Lang. Their "Rhapsody in Blue" was the low point, destroying the integrity of Gershwin's composition to allow for individual displays in which Hancock couldn't keep up.

Two outstanding musicians joined the LA Phil at the Bowl with a range of musical feasting and an unexpected blast. Lang Lang's virtuosity in classical music is well known, but his versatility and enthusiasm for all types of music became evident. Herbie Hancock revealed that he is no slouch at the keyboard either, matching Lang Lang note for note. The hi-lite of the evening came during their duet in Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. This classic american symphony performed by such great talent was an experience we will always remember! Outstanding phrasing and performance as they "dueled" their way through this exceptional score. I hope it was recorded on video and sound for future enjoyment by the world.

Spectacular night at the Hollywood Bowl. Herbie Hancock and Lang Lang dueling it out on the pianos was unforgettable. And the LA philharmonic is outstanding. This is part of what living in Los Angeles is all about. Would highly recommend that everyone experience the Bowl. Brought my 15 year old daughter and 10 year old son as well. Thought they would be bored but they loved it.

herbie hancock and lang lang both delivered expert performances, but spent a little too much time showboating. rhapsody in blue was an incredible song to finish with, but did they really need 10 solos each in between interludes?

This concert was the best piano performance I have heard in a long time! Both are extremely talented, brilliant artists. I enjoyed every minute and thanks for the encore!

the overall is good. it's my first time to enjoy a rather classical music in Hollywood bowl. the sounding is not that good because it's outdoor. the LA Phil was awesome and herbie and lang lang are I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E. they both had solo and i like them, they tried playing chinese tunes mixed with jazz bu i think they are better when they played individually. they also played some improvisation and I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! looking forward to lang lang's recital in walt disney hall in Nov.

Two outstanding musicians along with the LA Phil - just incredible. Add the sound and atmosphere of the bowl, whatever picnic you choose, and you have the ingredients for a great summer evening.

I had a general idea of what this recitial was going to be like, but it exceeded my expectations. I liked the mix of Jazz and Chinese music that the two played, but what awed me the most was undoubtly Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". It is such an amazing piece, and I thought the two played it wonderfully. Overall, this event was a lot of fun, and for those who can still come tonight, I recommend it!

Herbie was amazing, Lang Lang was amazing, and when they combined with the L.A. Phil they were...amazing.

Talent personified!! Lang Lang' style and showmanship easily stood up to Herbie's. The solo mini-set done by Herbie dragged a bit but Lang Lang's was gorgeous and clearly connected with the audience. Herbie would have done well to perform a selection of his more recognized material - he did Cantaloop but just as a theme in and out of his other selections. The second half of the show was clearly the best half - Rhapsody in Blue with Lang Lang and Herbie Hancock at dueling pianos! Fantastic! The encore was again a bit of duelingpianos without the orchestra but still entertaining.

Good! Quite modern. Would have liked more variety. Gershwin heavy. Spectacular Pianists.

Nothing says summer in LA like a night at the Hollywood Bowl. It was such a beautiful night that I would have been happy to hear almost any musician. But Herbie Hancock showed why he was the master. He was funny and gracious. He showed real love for Lang Lang and their collaboration was amazing. It was a real treat to hear his medley of his own songs. I feel lucky to have been present.

Herbie Hancock and Lang Lang were almost tied in their abilities on the piano. Herbie's years of experience was obvious, while Lang's performance was flawless. They went for several minutes, on sheet music, barely reading, but still remembering their place. The philharmonic was. as usual, on point. Strings, winds, percussion, all came in at the right moment. Hurray for the conductor who knew where he was the entire time. I had expected a little different style of classical music with Lang Lang being there, and would have liked to hear how Herbie Hancock handled it, but all in all, it was an event to remember. The weather was perfect, the food was great (we brought in sushi) and the acoustics delivered. Aside from the helicopters flying over now and then, everything could be heard down to the softest flute.
