根据《留声机》杂志网站报道，近年红遍天的郎朗日前也传出低调投靠索尼唱片。

郎朗2003年投入环球唱片门下，环球不仅找来大牌指挥与他合作，还为他量身打造华人作曲家专辑、拍摄纪录片。近年郎朗音乐生涯一飞冲天野心更大，在古典领域之外，也准备跨界发展。环球贵为百年老店作风较保守，相较之下，索尼以制作跨界专辑为名，刚好投其所好。

郎朗”跳槽“的声浪传言已久，二○○八年他正式成为索尼产品代言人，之后事情渐趋白热化。虽然索尼目前尚未正式对外宣告，但环球唱片去年底已对内宣布郎朗转战索尼的消息。郎朗日前为日本电影《交响情人梦》弹奏配乐，而电影原声带的发行公司便是索尼，双方的合作看来已经十分密切。

据说，郎朗跳槽之后第一张的专辑将在今年秋季发行。

Chinese pianist moves from DG

Chinese pianist Lang Lang has signed to Sony Music.

The 27-year-old moves from Deutsche Grammophon, the label he joined in 2003. In the years since, his virtuoso talent and media appeal have propelled him to the status of one of classical music’s highest-profile stars, not least in China where he has become a figurehead for the country’s burgeoning enthusiasm for classical music.

The deal with Sony begins this month and their first disc together is due in the autumn, though repertoire details are yet to be announced. According to Lang Lang’s management, part of the reason for the move is the increased opportunities that Sony, a media company with film and technology divisions, can offer. In 2008 the pianist became a brand ambassador for Sony, helping promote its electronics products.

Lang Lang’s most recent recording on DG – Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky chamber works performed with Vadim Repin and Mischa Maisky – was well received in Gramophone’s November 2009 issue.

Earlier this month Sony Classical also announced the signing of Simone Dinnerstein, another high-profile pianist whose previous two discs both topped the US Classical Billboard chart. She moved from Telarc – the label where, incidentally, Lang Lang had begun his recording career prior to joining DG.
