Steinway goes Disney with Lang Lang’s Mickey Mouse piano

Steinway goes Disney with Lang Lang’s Mickey Mouse piano

From Pianist magazine:

Steinway artist Lang Lang performed a selection of his favourite Disney songs during an intimate concert at Ladbroke Hall London.

For more than a century, Steinway has captivated global audiences and united people through music. Craig Terry, Managing Director Steinway & Sons UK (pictured below in the Steinway London showroom) comments: “Disney has long been a cherished part of my American heritage, as has Steinway & Sons of course, who I have been working with for over 30 years now. It’s incredibly rewarding to see these two iconic brands come together to create such a beautifully crafted, joyful piano. We have eagerly been awaiting the arrival of the grand piano and look forward to presenting this exceptional instrument to our customers at our London showroom.”

… “I’ve been inspired by Mickey Mouse’s lively character, curiosity and joy since I was little,” said (Italian artist Elena) Salmistraro. “The piano’s white background represents the sketch board that Mickey Mouse was originally created on years ago while rich and colorful tones give energy to his iconic characteristics. The blue gradient represents the movement of music around him, brought together through the gold rivers to create a symphony of sound.”
