BBC4 19.30 Fri 2 Nov: Lang Lang Plays Liszt at the Roundhouse
Definitely a problem with the lumière as well as the son...
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I actually rather enjoyed the programme but found the visuals extremely distracting. Minor quibble - I do wish they'd correctly captioned the Hungarian Rhapsody no.15 as the Horowitz version (which I find totally over the top, I much prefer the original).
There is an interview with Lang Lang in this months Gramophone talking about Chopin and somewhere in the magazine it says something like "the showman grows up" (or words to that effect).
