Chad Lawson - The Chopin Variations
Review by Jill Lampi
The Chopin Variations by Chad Lawson is a beautiful and captivating album that showcases the pianist's immense talent and creativity. The album features Lawson's unique interpretations of some of Chopin's most beloved compositions, as well as his own original compositions inspired by the legendary composer.
Lawson's playing is both delicate and powerful, capturing the emotion and nuance of each piece with remarkable sensitivity. His arrangements of Chopin's works are both faithful to the original compositions while also adding a fresh, modern flair that makes them feel new and exciting.
In addition to the Chopin pieces, Lawson's original compositions on the album are equally impressive, showcasing his skill as a composer as well as a performer. The tracks range from hauntingly beautiful to joyfully upbeat, all the while maintaining a consistent level of quality and artistry.
