“Artistry of that kind is rare in pianists of any age; to find it in a 20-year old is simply astounding.”
– The Daily Telegraph
Warner Classics teams up with rising star, Eric Lu, to release his first studio album. The repertoire is the Chopin 24 Preludes, Op. 28, and Schumann Geistervariationen (Ghost Variations), which he has paired together with Brahms 1st Intermezzo from Op. 117, also in E-flat major.
Born in Massachusetts in 1997, Eric Lu first came to international attention as a prize-winner at the 2015 Chopin International Competition in Warsaw aged just 17. He went on to win First Prize at the 2017 International German Piano Award and the 2015 US National Chopin Competition, and perform at Carnegie Hall, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Taipei National Concert Hall, Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre and the Auditorio Nacional Madrid.
Eric Lu won First Prize at The Leeds International Piano Competition in 2018 and made his BBC Proms debut with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and Long Yu in summer 2019. He is currently a member of the BBC New Generation Artist scheme.
