American pianist Eric Lu, recent First Prize winner of the 19th International Chopin Piano Competition, presents Franz Schubert’s Impromptus D.899 and D.935. Lu previously performed the Op. 90 Impromptus during the 2018 Leeds International Piano Competition, which he also went on to win. He says, “I have a real sense of a journey with these works, in particular with Op.90, having lived with them intensely in preparation, on stage and, finally, in the recording studio. For me, the Impromptus are some of the greatest jewels in the piano literature. They are magnificent, deep pieces of music, and the very essence of Schubert.”
