Eric Lu - Prelude in D minor Op. 28 No. 24 (third stage)

[@AzureSteel]

First time seeing a pianist punch the key. That was genius.

[@markd2797]

AzureSteel Dang Thai Son did this first and likely taught it to him

[@chanyeolay._.1218]

yea

[@chua5959]

Mark Opolo Martha argerich did it in one of the piano concertos she performed I believe

[@coolpianoman10]

[@fabiopalma4429]

Lu's technique is one of the most pure brilliant and light I have ever heard on the piano.

[@GothicGroucho]

I play the first of the 3 low Ds with my fist. I play the second with my nose, and in place of the 3rd one I sit on the piano keyboard.

[@cgjr91]

this the best prelude, best way for chopin to end his preludes, amazing performs.

[@Arnebalfastar]

This punch on the end was the best! :)

I can't believe he's only 17! Hero of mine already.

Only 17 ?,??

[@seohyunkim5655]

Just so much passion and energy. Dealt brilliantly in the scale and thirds section as well which can be technically very challenging. That was an amazing performance and truely deserves a standing applause.

[@ivanahe4038]

One of the best version I found on youtube so far!! It's a pity that there are 2 or maybe 3 times, he did not make the key note sound 100% perfect, but there is no such thing as perfect in life. Sometimes perfect is only boring. Life is life. Congratulate to you Eric :) All the best!

[@keoni_6375]

I love this man's way of expression during this piece. Bravo!

[@e.hutchence-composer8203]

That's interesting, he uses his entire hand to play the last three notes. I've never seen someone do that before, really an interesting way to finish the piece. Is that how Chopin intended it to be played? None the less, an amazing performance!

Kai Ichinose's performance on Forest Piano anime brought me here.

[@kathleen685]

Came here from Forest of Piano when Kai was playing this piece. He punched the key too!

[@bypig]

Kathleen Lyn yes

[@joyagustian]

So did i. 😁

[@lelukilipe]

Me too lol

[@segmentsAndCurves]

So did Dang Thai Son.

[@francisdoan]

He’s just banging the key. What’s the difference between punch and bang?

[@francisdoan]

Last 2 notes on the D. Sounds like you’re ringing a bell of a cathedral.

[@sashh9997]

Why is everyone talking about the end! This is one of the best prelude 24 I've heard. The only playing I liked more was grigory sokolov and the funny part is grigory is Lu's favourite pianist

[@francisdoan]

**BANG** "I never want to see you..." **BANG** "...ever again!" **BAAAANG** The word "you" is referring to 2020.

I felt deplorable as if I had lost my country. In particular, deep sighs were felt at the last part. Eric Lu is a genius.

11월9일에 있었던 오마주 투 쇼팽 연주회에서 프렐류드24번 정말 잘들었습니다. 어떤 피아니스트와 비교해도 손색없을 완벽한 연주였다고 생각합니다.

[@iD-te3dl]

롯콘에서 였었죠 저도 들었습니다만(?)... 이상하게 에릭루의 음악세계 그만의 호소력이 있어요 당타이손의 제자라서일까요 하지만 한음한음의 섬세함은 아무래도... 리즈콩쿨 우승자의 연주를 평하고 있는 제 모습이 웃기긴하지만 조성진과 비교할수 밖에 없게 되네요 에릭루 리사이틀에 갔었고 그때만큼 연주전체에 완전히 빠져서 행복했던 경험도 드물었던것 같습니다 제 CD플레이어에는 리즈콩쿨 우승당시 실황앨범이 들어있습니다 특히 쇼팽 소나타 2번이 압권입니다 여기까지 하겠습니다 네네 ^^

I don't think jury members should be teachers of some of the participants.

[@josephf151]

He publicly disclosed that and did not vote on him. It is perfectly fair.

I read it as "jucy members"

[@sacrilegiousboi978]

Joseph F any jury member who has connections with a participant isn’t allowed to vote for them. the loophole is that they can (and do) give fewer points to other participants.

[@kirkloganj]

Does anyone know what he is holding or doing with his right hand while left fist plays last few notes?

[@bakuto.1055]

Notes C and E

[@helloxyz]

studying both Cho and Lu, it appears they are playing two different pieces - Cho hardly moves his left hand, managing to span the awkward notes, keeping the little fingers in place and must moving the thumb, while Lu's left hand is jumping all over the place. Is it possible that Cho's span is so great, or is Lu playing an octave higher with the thumbs ?

[@Jerry-ek2mc]

Lu left hand isn’t an octave higher

[@dryades1]

There is a difference in the playing style. Lu is the style of using the wrist and cho is the style of playing with hands open as much as possible.

[@phyllisbernoulli-kerr2885]

Anyone else notice he was using vibrato on the piano keys.

[@derbuck1857]

Yes dude! I comment the same! I got confused he is doing all the time with the left hand and with long notes on right hand... Maybe he dont won because of this fake vibrato

[@rampgamercracka4258]

@@derbuck1857 It's to relieve tension. Look up Dang Thai Son playing this exact piece for an even more obvious display of this technique.

[@derbuck1857]

Is he trying to do a vibrato at the keys? Like at violin strings?

[@bakuto.1055]

No, the left hand is immpecably difficult to execute in tempo and that helps stay in rythm.
