Claude Poux dude you couldn't imagine what he's feeling he isn't feeling Chopins pain he is using pain he has felt in the past and bringing it up as he plays so he can resonate with the song. Trust me I'm a pianist I've been playing for 7 years

The only way I could truly, emotionally play this piece, was in times of real anguish. Dark, hurtful moments in my life. I've found it hard to play this piece with the same impact while things are great. It may seem odd, but perhaps not... Music is from emotion and the soul, and playing without emotion or soul is pointless.

Drink Yourselftosleep oh wow! You must be a master or something! Are you ... is this .... God? Is that you? Cause I don’t know how you would know what the pianist is feeling otherwise. Perhaps he’s had a great life but he can EMPATHIZE and RELATE to Chopin’s anguish. But you would know, because you’ve been a pianist for SEVEN YEARS!

Well, his facial expressions don't show anguish. More like joy and calmness. Good interpretation though

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL INTERPRETATIONS OF THIS PIECE

so far the best performance on this masterpiece. so smooth so emotional so touching.

I love this performance, all the other covers I’ve heard are way too rushed but this is great-someone who is able to portray emotion through this piece but that isn’t over exaggerated

If you listen to Chopin in such a wonderful performance, you don't want to listen to any other music for a long time.

Has to be the finest performance I’ve ever heard. The depth and pathos of his playing are incomparable.

My piano teacher would pass out if I held my finger off the edge of the key like he did. It was beautiful though, of course.

As a piano teacher myself, the first time I saw him do it, I was a bit taken aback. Young students do this when they get tired of holding their hands up sometimes. But the more I watched, the more I realized it was a very purposeful technique, performed consistently on the same parts of each phrase. He's obviously trying to get that "sinking" feeling of the piece to come out in any way he can, isn't he? Pretty cool, actually! :-)

@@theartofpiano6405 yep. "Sinking" is a good word to describe the feeling. Feeling is touch. His touch was sinking. So was Chopin's. This was correct. Let's hear a teacher play it... Bet it would look "stiff".

Jedno z najbardziej emocjonalnych wykonań Prelude in E minor Op.28 No.4

The best interpretation and performance i have ever heard.. ❤

Love this sensitive recording with a soulful and feeling tempo.........Thank you Eric Lu!!!

Watching this exquisite performance has allowed me to feel much more expressive with the rhythm and dynamics, to really make this piece a part of my heart. What a beautiful interpretation, my goodness, the yearning and sorrow ❤❤❤

Best interpretation so far I have seen of this piece.

Perfect! - only piece i can listen to.

Absolutely stunning! Best version I've heard! Thank you!

The most perfect rendition out there. Hands down. Exactly exactly how it was meant to be played. Thank you.

@@neptune8590 this was my first piece that i learned from start to finish, wasnt hard for me, and i played it like 50 times, or more. i played a lot with rubato, dynamics on the second part, etc. i reached a point in wich the best rendition of the piece was my own (on my opinion), everyone seems to play it so fast or like its something like it isnt. Eric Lu played it really good in my opinion

The unique quality of piano is that it can do sad with dignity at the same time.

Superb , Eric has the touch of a master.

Sublime performance that extracts the pure melancholia from Chopin.

Une des meilleures interprétation que j'ai entendu..Superbe !!

Superb version - no showing off here - just as Chopin wrote it…almost - relearning now and will try to play in this manner - thank you 🙏

bravissimo.

Un magnífico regalo de Chopin. Bellísima interpretación. Gracias.

Best 2 minutes of my life…

THAT last big chord sounds so good!!

I felt like I was in his living room listening to him play; it was only him, and he didn't know that I was there.

Une interprétation de prodige... merci Eric :-)

such a lovely piece of work. first heard it in my freshman year of college ~ music was a required class ~. i was all grunge and punk rock at the time. you play well

Absolutely sublime. How incredible that Chopin, within a framework of just over 2 minutes, composed what is to me possibly the most powerful piano work of all time.

I love it!

Absolutely beautiful

This is sublime. Raw human emotion. I can see Chopin playing it. Amazing.

That is beautiful.🙂

wonderful....

Love it xx

I will go crazy!!! The first 6 seconds of the piece is just incredible, how he played the first 3 notes with his right hand. Then, the bass comes in very-very gently full with emotions. BUT, especially the 2nd. "B" by switching from pinky to index finger, just quiter a tiny bit, giving a very sad and "tragic" effect. Just repeat the first 5-6 seconds over and over again and listen to it carefully. Of course, the stage reverb comes to it too and also the wonderful kind of "bright" and accurate type of sound of the Yamaha. I am loosing my mind just by listening to the first 2-3 notes :DDDD
