I have always been mesmerized by this song, specially after 4:21. It sounds like a tragic story about a not corresponded love, full of ilusions, hopes that prove to be false, obsession on believing that this love is somehow real, but at the end, just an acceptance of reality, that everything was just a dream, but it turns up that the delusional lover is now finally free to follow with his life. I don't know if that was the real intention of Chopin here, to portray such a painful love story, where melancoly, anger, hate, wrath are all being healed by peace and balance in the end, (maybe it's only in my head). Not to mention that piano music has no lyrics, but it always sounded to me like that. That part at 5:38, it's the part where you understand what happened to whoever this is about, you understand it was painful and heartbreaking, like a deep wound in the heart, but now peace and freedom are back, and that's what really matters after all. Eric Lu's performance captured the true essence of all this spiral of emotions. Wonderful job!

I would love to be a piano only to have the privilege of being seen, attracted, touched, possessed and caressed by the hands of Eric Lu. He plays the piano with his soul, sensitivity and fragility at the same time. Seing him at Bourgie Hall in Montreal was one of a lifetime experience.

This Nocturne is one of the most beautiful of all, and one of most popular…, so naturally I listen to many great pianists playing and interpreting it…, and I can say without prejudice that Eric’s rendition is definitely my favorite.

Omg, such a crystal his performance is... I feel so ashamed that I've found this right now.

Audio is little bit compresed and not fully presented his contrast and dynamic.
