Lang Lang's "The Disney Book" Debuts No 1 On Billboard's Classical Albums Chart!
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Globally acclaimed piano virtuoso Lang Lang's latest album, The Disney Book, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Classical Albums Chart. In celebration of 100 years of The Walt Disney Company, the album features new, reimagined versions of some of the most famous melodies in the history of animation, ranging from Pinocchio and The Jungle Book to Frozen and Encanto.

Lang Lang celebrated the release of The Disney Book with a special performance at The Hollywood Bowl last week. NPR Here & Now's host Jane Clayson sat down with Lang Lang to talk about the inspiration behind the project and Lang Lang also stopped by GMA3 to perform the classic Disney tune "Bare Necessities."

The album features several collaborators from across the globe, including Andrea Bocelli, singer-songwriter and pianist Jon Batiste, and Colombian singer-songwriter Sebastián Yatra as well as appearances from guitarist Miloš, Chinese erhu player Guo Gan, and Lang Lang's wife Gina Alice, plus the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Robert Ziegler.
