Eric Law was a worthy, if controversial, winner of the International Chopin Piano Competition in October, having won the Leeds competition seven years earlier: how many starting points should one pianist strive for? What is certain is that this latest recording of Schubert, following his release of the late sonatas in late 2022, reveals a mature and selfless approach to the eight improvisational pieces, some of the composer’s most profound music.
Law is very attuned to the way Schubert creates sweeping structures, evoking a mesmerizing sense of stasis with music that pulses with details beneath the surface – in his performances of many of them, time actually seems to have stopped. Right from the lone opening of Op 90 No 1, he attracts the ear with the range of his phrases: although his playing can be heavier than some, his lines lengthen and lengthen into the distance and corners are smoothly rounded, with dramatic passages emerging from what came before. These performances may not yet be quite distinctive enough to make this recording a top choice in a crowded field, but they certainly support the Chopin jury’s decision: Le is a serious talent.
